CDC Heat and Health Guidance Survey

Do you counsel patients on heat and health, or are you considering it? Take the survey.

By taking this survey, you are invited to help the CDC understand nurses’ familiarity and use of the CDC’s new heat and health guidance. The survey is open until February 14^th.

The survey will also evaluate the usability and content of the guidance materials. We welcome feedback from nurses who have used these tools and those considering incorporating heat counseling into their patient visits. Please let us know your thoughts.
