All island residents can expect a knock at the door, and a series of questions, from Public Health officials beginning next month.
The Department of Public Health and Social Services, the Research Corporation of the University of Guam, or RCUOG, in partnership with the Mayors’ Council of Guam, will be conducting a “Health Disparities” survey starting in February 2022.
Dr. Ann Pobutsky, the territorial epidemiologist for DPHSS, who appeared before the MCOG on Wednesday said the survey will be conducted island-wide, from small to big populations within villages, which is anticipated to go on for the whole year.
For example, it will start with Humatak and conclude in Dededo.
The purpose of the survey is to locate all who are high-risk and identify the hard-to-reach populations.
