CDC Looking for Information Regarding Experiences with Flu

Families Together is partnering with Family Voices, Inc. and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to learn more from families about their experiences with the flu and the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. To help with this project we ask that families complete a brief survey.


Your knowledge, opinion, and experiences are very important and will help CDC in their work to improve the health and well-being of all children with special healthcare needs. Your responses will remain anonymous.
