About SHOW

The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) will be the first statewide research survey of its kind to measure information on critical health conditions in Wisconsin. Findings from SHOW will present a comprehensive picture of the health of Wisconsin residents, helping to identify needs and target resources where they are most needed.
........................................................
The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) will use a variety of health assessments methods to capture information not available before about the health of Wisconsin residents. These assessments include: in-person interviews, paper questionnaires, computer-assisted surveys, physical measurements and laboratory tests.
........................................................
The SHOW team includes experts in survey research from the UW department of Population Health Sciences and benefits from the scientific advice of a broad range of experts and consultants from multiple departments at UW, the state, and around the nation.
.........................................................
SHOW is modeled after the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) national survey (NHANES), which has provided key health information about the nation's health for 35 years. With state focus, SHOW will provide the more detailed information needed to understand the unique health needs of Wisconsin and its communities.
........................................................
Each year, trained SHOW staff will knock on the doors of randomly selected households throughout the state to invite people to participate. All participation in SHOW is voluntary. SHOW will meet face-to-face and privately with approximately 1,200 Wisconsin residents to evaluate their health. Because the participants in the survey are selected as a representative sample of the state populations, the results of this survey will tell us about the health of all Wisconsin residents.

.......................................................
All the information collected by SHOW will be kept confidential. SHOW will publish its results in summarized fashion, but no data on individual survey participants will be released or given away to any outside party. With the study participant's permission, the information will be available to qualified researchers well into the future and will be used to monitor the health of Wisconsin communities and to design programs that improve the health of residents. SHOW will also explore partnerships with communities, institutions and others interested in expanding the survey's scope.
