The University of New South Wales is running a study on the health needs of residents to help plan and deliver vital health services for selected sectors of the Waterloo or Redfern community.
In line with this study, the experts, led by Dr Christopher Standen, are taking a survey to gather data on what the residents may need.
Information provided will be stored in UNSW’s platform for at least 25 years.
“We will keep your information private. We will not tell anybody your name or where you live. No one will know it was you who took part. We will write about what we find out. If you want, we will send you a summary,” Dr Standen and his team said.
The survey is open to Waterloo or Redfern social housing dwellers who are aged over 18 and are proficient in the English language.
Dr Standen is an expert on urban development, health equity, and health impact assessment.In 2020, he also conducted a study on the Waterloo housing estate redevelopment for the Healthy Urban Environments (HUE) Collaboratory, with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and older adult residents, whom have been identified as potentially more at risk.
Meanwhile, survey participants $25 EFTPOS or Visa gift card if they complete the task, which will likely take 20 minutes. Participants, however, are under no obligation to commit to completing the survey and may opt out if they want to.
