RPCV asking for help to spread global health survey in your communities

Hey everyone - RPCV Colombia here!

I'm reaching out to see if current/recent PCVs might be willing to help distribute a global health research survey in their communities.

Background: The World Obesity Federation is running MAPPS II, a global study examining healthcare barriers and social determinants of obesity care/prevention. They need responses from healthcare workers, people with lived experience, and health policy folks—especially from underserved regions.

Why PCVs? You have access to communities and healthcare workers that international researchers struggle to reach. Your networks could provide perspectives that are typically missing from global health data.

The surveys:

• ~10 minutes
• Multiple languages available
• Anonymous
• Three versions: healthcare professionals, people with lived experience, policy stakeholders

What I'm asking: If you're willing, share with local health clinics, community health workers, community members, or NGO partners in your area.

Need help getting started? There's a complete toolkit with ready-to-use social media posts, graphics, and email templates in multiple languages: https://www.worldobesity.org/what-we-do/projects/mapps/mapps-toolkit#gp

I know you're all busy serving, so zero pressure. But if you have 5 minutes to forward this along, it could make a real difference.

Happy to answer questions in the comments. Thanks for considering!
