Surveying Ideas

Face-to-face visits are highly recommended!

• During a transport
• At a meal-on-wheels visit
• Have other young/able-bodied Native Elders make the visit
• High School or college students can be asked to volunteer
• Combine with a home health visit
• Tribal employees taking a day to conduct interviews in the community

Token of Appreciation

Ideas for what you can give the Elders to thank them for their time.

• Wild rice or other traditional food or gifts
• Casino/other coupons
• A chance to bring other helpful items (one tribe connected their visits with safety visits to fix/install smoke alarms)
• A meal
• Your time and conversation
• Other health promotion/prevention incentives, like pedometers, can openers for those with arthritis, etc.
