County Questionnaire Results
July 2003

Component 3: Conduct Information and Education (I&E) Activities

Ten counties (16%) said they would develop I&E materials to supplement those developed by the state, 9 (15%) said "No", 21 (34%) replied that they would do some but not all and 21 (34%) were unsure. When asked what they would be willing to do, most counties said they would localize products that the state would provide, many said they would wait and see what the state provided and several said that would develop their own fact sheets, newsletter articles, news releases, presentations and conduct meetings. The major reason given by those who were unwilling, unable or unsure was constraints of budget and staff time.

When asked if they would deliver these I&E materials, 35 (56%) said "Yes", 17 (27%) said "Some", and 8 (13%) were unsure. Most counties who indicated they would deliver some materials replied that delivery would occur within existing activities (e.g. newsletters, personal contacts, mailings, presentations). Major barriers included postage, duplication and other costs.
