Community Assessment Survey for spouses Published April 15, 2008 FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. -- The Integrated Delivery System Working Group is sponsoring the 2008 Community Assessment Survey of service members and spouses. This survey is the best way for community members to make their opinions and needs known. The results of the survey will be used by base leadership and the Air Force to target resources where they are most needed and enhance the well-being of the community. Air Force community members at Air Force bases worldwide will be randomly selected to participate in the study. Survey notification (Web site address of the survey) will be sent to the home address of each spouse chosen to participate. Participation is crucial to the success of the project, and those selected are strongly urged to take part. Through the completion of the CA, survey responses can directly influence family services and related support activities at local bases and throughout the Air Force. In fact, results from previous Air Force Community Assessments have impacted the policies and programs that support spouses at every level of the Air Force, to include: - Adjusting childcare and other support services to better match the needs of the community - Increasing opportunities to socialize and participate in on- and off-base activities. - Increasing spouse-to-spouse support, especially during times when service member is deployed or TDY - Increasing job opportunities for AF spouses If you have any questions regarding the 2008 Community Assessment, please contact your local Integrated Delivery System Chair.
