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!
