Here's a second question for the group.....

North Dakota has begun their needs assessment as to genetic services. We

have surveyed health care professionals through a survey which was 
disseminated through our personal mailing list, as well through Children

Special Health Services (CSHS). The response we received was well 
received, as we had about 300 returned surveys. We have surveyed, and 
still do so, patients seen as to their opinions of our services. Our 
next step is developing a survey for the Native American Reservations in

our state. I am curious what other states have done with assessments and

am curious if we could receive a copy of your surveys for the needs 
assessment.

Now a third question....
Through the direction of the health care survey responses, we hope to 
provide additional training as requested via newsletters, brochures, and

conferences. Is there newsletters or brochures that we could give our 
health care professionals, and families that is standardized in the 
Heartland Region? If so, how can we access them?

Thank you everyone! Jayne
