Hoosier INsight – Women’s Survey
The Indiana Commission for Women wants feedback from every county in Indiana regarding our Hoosier INsight initiative. This includes conducting 17 women’s issues listening sessions throughout the state, and also gathering information through our online survey. During the sessions, we allowed participants to list anything and everything women struggle with on a regular basis, be it transportation, childcare, healthcare, etc. Using the lengthy list, participants used three stickers (votes), to prioritize the top *three issues for them. When the group’s top three issues were identified, the participants broke into 3 small focus groups to consider a series of questions
in order to start developing a plan of action for how we should work to overcome these challenges in Indiana:
Frame It
1. What are the critical components of this issue?
2. What should be addressed first?
What’s in Place Now?
3. Are there any existing programs in place to help solve this issue?
4. Are there any agencies or organizations who currently deal with this issue?
Who should be involved?
5. Who are the people/organizations that should be involved in this issue?
6. Who should be responsible for strategizing ideas and implementing solutions for this issue?
Community/State Actions
7. How can the community work on solving this issue?
8. Is this an issue that should be addressed statewide? How?
Next Steps
9. What resources are needed to work on this issue?
10. What are the next that should be taken to address this issue?
To view the participant responses, you can visit our Hoosier INsight page. A compilation of the results from both the listening sessions and the online survey will be available, when we receive feedback from all 92 counties. We have received feedback from 74 counties. If you can help us spread the survey to the 18 remaining counties, we would greatly appreciate your help! We need responses from Benton, Clinton, Pike, Orange, Fulton, Grant, Jackson, Jasper, Marshall, Miami, Montgomery, Noble, Newton, Putnam, Starke, Switzerland, Vermillion, and Wabash. Copy and paste the following website to get feedback from more Hoosier women! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WomensIssues2011 All responses are anonymous.
*Some smaller groups chose to only focus on the top two or top one issue.
