National health survey coming to York County By Gary Haber
York Daily Record/Sunday News Updated: 08/29/2014 11:40:52 AM EDT
Workers from the U.S. government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be in York County from Sept. 2 through Nov. 3 to gather data for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Workers from CDC's National Center for Health Statistics will select 515 York County residents to take part in the ongoing survey of Americans' health and eating habits. York County is one of 15 counties across the country in which about 5,000 people will be asked about their health and diet to compile national numbers on the prevalence of conditions such as diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.
Public health officials and lawmakers use the data to set health care policy. It is the first time the CDC has conducted the survey in York County.
Those who are selected to participate in the survey will receive up to $125 to compensate them for their time and travel. They will also receive a free health and nutrition screening. Those who are selected will be notified by mail and may be followed up by a home visit from a CDC representative.
For more information, contact the CDC's York County field office at (800) 379-9389.
Ping.
I do believe it would be best to decline-I wouldn’t tell those people a damn thing...
Time to get answer questions about their health habits...
and get microchipped.
Sounds like a perfect opportunity to SCROOOOO with the Government by lying to them and feeding them a bunch of false statistics.
“I’m 5 foot 10, 155 lbs, and I eat a rack of ribs and a gallon of chocolate ice cream every day.”
I hope the workers don’t experience any negative health effects from trying to snoop on their fellow citizens (assuming they are not illegal).
Won't work
Those who are selected to participate in the survey will receive up to $125 to compensate them for their time and travel. They will also receive a free health and nutrition screening.
Another version of the online article stated that they would be receiving testing valued at $42,500.00. Sounds like complete blood screens, treadmill test, EKG, and colonoscopy
Take one up the butt for Amerika.
Ding-dong.
Who’s there?
