Santa Monica Doing Another Round of Survey for Wellness Study

SANTA MONICA, CA -- The city of Santa Monica is now collecting an another round of data for its Wellbeing Index, the Santa Monica Daily Press reported.

The city hopes to get a deeper understanding of certain trends and precise information on specific issues to augment the grant-funded study.

The results from the new round of survey will be released next year, which will allow city staff to compare trends and look at issues that weren't closely examined the last time.

“Part of what we learned is that we didn’t have all the data we would like to have,” Julie Rusk, assistant director of the city Community and Cultural Services Department and a Wellbeing Project leader, told the Daily Press. “We’d like a more refined picture of how people in Santa Monica are doing.”
