Pulse of Oregon

Welcome to our survey on the Pulse of Oregon for people with disabilities and their families. This survey is created by the Oregon Office on Disability & Health (OODH). Our mission is to prevent secondary conditions and improve the health and quality of life of Oregonians with disabilities through improved access to health care facilities, public health programs, and effective health promotion and wellness programs. OODH has been continuously funded as a Cooperative Agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) since 1994. We are a collaborative effort between Oregon Health & Science University, and the Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division. You can read more about us at www.oodh.org.

This survey aims to take the "pulse" of Oregon's disability community. We want to know what you think about disability issues and policy. During the first year of our project, we are developing a strategic plan to focus on disability and health in Oregon. Through your participation in this survey, you will provide important information to assist us in the development of this plan and help to form the background for future funding for disability and health. A report reflecting what was collected in this survey will be made available on our website, www.oodh.org.
