The project goal is for people active in health fields "to beâ€" come moré aware of the concerns of resiâ€" dents of the Kâ€"W area," Schultz said. While a random poli can idenâ€" tify some concerns, it‘s not as effective as the hotline project, which she hopes will deterâ€" mine things that are ‘‘really important to people." Such data is a "startâ€" ing point‘ in planning effective health serâ€" vices in a community, The project, which will run until the midâ€" dle of August, is funded through a Health and Welfare Canada grant, and is headed by UW‘s assistant professor in the Health Studies Deâ€" partment, Dr. Dave Walters.

They don‘t i know where to go and who to taik to," she said. However, the Health Hotline is not designed for people who want to discuss specific mediâ€" cal problems and reâ€" ceive professional counselling. ‘‘We‘re there only to listen," Schultz said, adding, ‘"we are trying to avoid people looking for medical advice." The hotline idea stemmed from the popâ€" ularity of radio and television talk shows with listener and viewer phoneâ€"ins, she said. > ‘*People seem to want to be heard."" And no one seems more willing to listen than the university research team. The project is the first of its kind in ‘‘We are some place, somebody to listen to these concerns." And in addition to providing healith proâ€" fessionals with useful information, the hotâ€" line also gives people an escape valve. Chamber concert All the principals are members of the Laurier music faculty and most of the singers are Laurier music alumni. Anyone,interested in learning about general reactions to the weekly issues can obtain that information, and all data coliected during the project will be compiled in a compreâ€" hensive report to be made available to health agencies. A concert of Romanâ€" tic music by the Victor Martens Chamber Singers, with the Beckâ€" ett and McDonald piano duo, will be held May 30 at the Wilfrid Laurier University Theatreâ€"Auditorium, University Ave. at 8 p.m., with general adâ€" mission being $5. All opinions and inâ€" formation will be kept in the strictest conâ€" fidence, the project suâ€" pervisor said, and in order "to make sure our data is reliable," each calier will asked for name, address, age, occupation and sex. As well, members of the community are inâ€" vited to comment on specific weekly topical issues, which will be publicized in advance on cable television or in local newspapers. Residents are enâ€" couraged to phone with both positive and negaâ€" tive comments about any personal health matter, whether it be to praise a hospital‘s staff or register a conâ€" cern about a hazardous traffic intersection. Canada, Schultz said, and it‘s hoped "the hotline will become a strong voice and vehiâ€" cle for community parâ€" ticipation."
