Eyewitness Community Survey

What is Eyewitness Community Survey?

Eyewitness Community Survey is a citizen science tool that helps communities get healthier by collecting information from their local environment. We Engage 4 Health invites children from grade 5 and up and adults of all ages to participate. ECS observers walk the community, make observations, and answer survey questions on a smart phone or tablet to capture the data.

Important Features of ECS

  • ECS is a standardized tool that allows data from many observers in a community to be captured and later pooled together.
  • To allow data to be pooled, each ECS observer needs to follow the same process (protocol).
  • A community can customize some parts of the ECS question set to focus on issues of greatest concern.

Meet Vito

Vito is a plays-it-cool older high schooler who is sweet-natured at heart. He plays basketball at the community center and is friends with Jazzy. He loves pop and chips and can’t see why eating all he wants of them is a problem.
