Hey Mendocino County! The annual Real Age Test is live!
https://mendocinocounty.bluezonesproject.com/realage-test/
Blue Zones Project Mendocino County’s annual community health metrics survey, The Real Age Test (RAT), is back until November 23, and we ask and invite you to complete the survey. Responses help our local team understand the strengths and weaknesses of well-being in Mendocino County so we can adapt our programming to best serve our community’s needs.
The RAT is arguable even more valuable for the survey taker because if you respond through the portal (link here) you’ll learn your Real Age™, which reflects your likely longevity as compared to your chronological age. You’ll also get insights and recommendations on your health habits and gain access to free resources and health challenges to enroll in to earn prizes for healthy behaviors. If you’ve taken the RAT online before, your previous responses are saved, so completing the survey is quicker and you can compare your test results year-to-year.
More than 1000 people in Mendocino County complete the RAT every year and your survey responses are anonymous and secure. After the survey campaign closes, survey data from Mendocino County are aggregated and our team receives a report on local trends. We will not see your Real Age™ or find out who among us indulges their late-night sweet tooth (guilty).
The RAT takes about 15 minutes to complete and examines all dimensions of well-being (emotional, physical, social, financial, etc.) and all social determinants of health (the nonmedical factors that influence our health such as our environment, surrounding culture, access to resources, policies and systems, etc.).
BONUS! Make sure to snap a screenshot to show that you took the RAT this year. Throughout the campaign, we offer many pop-up incentive events where RAT respondents either receive a $5 gift card to a local business or are entered to win a drawing for a high-value prize. Follow us on Facebook Zones Project – Mendocino County, on Instagram , or by signing up for our newsletter here (NL subscription fields are about 2/3rds of the way down the webpage).
