 * Community Health Survey **
 * 1) Has the health fair increased your awareness of the dangers of tobacco use?

The amount of surveys completed does not reflect the amount of participants attending the health fair. Surveys were voluntary and the students appreciated those who took time to fill one out.

The goal to educate the community on blood pressure concerns, to spread awareness of the dangers of tobacco and provide educational material on healthy eating habits was met. The nurses were able to discuss medications with the population,diabetes, obesity, and disaster preparedness.

The Team believes that the health fair was a success and encourages other classes to continue next year. The people of the community will look forward to the nurses every year and perhaps the ETSU student nurse fair will become a micro-remote area nursing outreach.
