Analyzing pre- and post-survey responses will measure the; campaign's effectiveness, and themes and patterns will be identified. The team will use; qualitative data from open-ended questions and quantitative data from closed-ended questions to; analyze confidence levels and knowledge changes.; Results: The project aims to enhance the ability of Weber County community members to; identify sepsis symptoms and take timely action. Increased awareness and education foster early; intervention, improving outcomes and saving lives.
