Epi Info is a powerful, free tool from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for public health professionals. You can use Epi Info to create a survey questionnaire, enter data into the questionnaire, analyze the survey data, and even create visual aids for your reports-all in one program! Epi Info also allows you to merge several databases into one. For example all counties in one region could conduct the Community Health Opinion Survey and combine the results to get regional as well as county specific statistics using Epi Info!
A template in Epi Info has been created containing all of the questions from the standard "Community Health Opinion Survey" in order to save you time and assist you in managing your survey data. You may modify the survey in any way to better fit your community. However, please remember not to enter any data into the Epi Info survey file until you are finished modifying your survey.
If you are new to Epi Info, please take advantage of the CDC's Epi InfoTM training to familiarize yourself with the program before using it.
