Today we are finalizing the survey that will be conducted at the PI festivals in Orange County & San Diego. The survey consists of 30 questions related to health care use, health insurance & demographics of the individual. This experience has been more than interesting and I am really taking this field into consideration for a career in the future. The research done on Pacific Islanders specifically is surprisingly limited especially related to health issues.
Today Lena finished working on getting the information of the IRB down and I spent the rest of the day finishing up the survey and the consent form.
We also went into detail of what incentives we could give to the volunteers doing the surveys. Some ideas that came up:
1. Bottle waters
2. Cheap Leis
3. Wheel of prizes
4. Candy
5. Granola Bars
6. Photo ID (need Camera though)
7. Drawing
8. Info bags
9. Raffle tickets (maybe give away 10 movie tickets throughout the day)
Logistics
1. Pens/ Pencils/markers
2. Banner
3. 4-5 clipboards
4. Table(s)
5. Additional Volunteers (maybe)
6. Copies of surveys
7. Tent
8. Table cover (WINCART banner)
9. Times/shifts
10. Buckets/cooler of water
11. Shirts for investigators
12. Radio
13. Ride situation
Today was a busy yet productive day. I was glad that we got the majority of things completed today so that we can focus on small things on Friday. I had contacted aunty ka’ala to confirm everything for the festival and things will be up and running by Friday night. Alright enough for today, I am exhausted.
