Summary

Volunteers are converting a Google Doc survey of doulas to a deployable form, aiming to collect responses through outreach (including a table at the Hispanic Health Council conference) and tentatively close responses after the conference at the end of September.

Volunteers reported the doula survey is being formatted in a Google Doc and may take doulas 15–25 minutes to complete; all questions are optional and respondents can choose whether to identify themselves. Organizers plan to promote the survey at a Hispanic Health Council conference and keep it open several weeks afterward to maximize response rates. "It's gonna take them... between 15 and 25 minutes to complete it," a volunteer said while describing the survey design and outreach plan.

Members cautioned about volunteer capacity and timeline risks but emphasized the importance of broad outreach to reach community doulas and Spanish-speaking providers. The subcommittee set a tentative timeline (end of September) but recognized the deadline may shift depending on volunteer availability and outreach results.
