2013 Air Force Community Assessment Survey begins March 31
The Air Force Community Assessment Survey provides data on community wellness, strengths, and risks to Airmen and their families. Community issues have a direct impact on mission readiness. This survey ensures that the Integrated Delivery System and the CAIB community action plans are timely, appropriate, effective, and are data-driven and responsive to ongoing changes in AF families and communities. The CA data has informed the need for the development of various programs and community support in the past. The survey includes seven main areas including: personal adjustment, family adjustment, individual and family adaptation, community well-being, help seeking and mental health stigma, resilience, and risk behaviors.
The CAS will be distributed by a civilian contractor, IPSOS, so if you receive an email or a survey in the mail from IPSOS, we request that you take the time to complete the survey, as not all Airmen and families will be targeted. Since the survey should only survey those selected (i.e., a sample vs. a census), a survey link cannot be provided here. Unfortunately volunteers to take the survey will not be allowed as we are using a scientific method to select a sample to ensure the respondents will be representative of the population.
Airmen and families will be randomly selected to complete the survey, so it's highly important that those selected actually provide feedback and inputs! Service Members will be contacted via .mil email address and dependents will be contacted via PO Box mailings containing instructions on how to access the survey online.
POC: Ms. Cynthia Burney, 65 ABW Community Support Coordinator
