CEAL Common Surveys and Analyses

All CEAL programs across the United States conducted a survey of individual beliefs and behaviors regarding COVID-19 vaccination. Our local survey, led by Equal Hope, was developed using core questions from the CEAL Common Survey and additional questions on topics that were of interest to our partners. Equal Hope CHWs began implementing the survey in December of 2021 across Chicago. In November 2022, Loyola University also began implementing the survey in suburban Cook County. By the end of February 2023, over 850 surveys had been completed.

This survey is now being conducted annually. It focuses on health knowledge, beliefs and behaviors, economic and social factors, experiences of discrimination, screeners for psychosocial health, and substance use disorder. The survey focuses on the Chicago community areas of South Shore, South Chicago, North Lawndale and South Lawndale and the west suburbs of Maywood, Melrose Park, Cicero, and Berwyn. Analyses to evaluate programs and research areas of interest to our communities are ongoing.
