Remedy Intelligent Staffing in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin Madison is currently seeking Field Interviewers and Team Leads for the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW). We are seeking candidates that live in the following counties: Milwaukee, Ozaukee, La Crosse and Polk.

The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) is a statewide public health survey designed to help improve health in Wisconsin and throughout the world. The program has been in operation by the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health since 2008. SHOW uses a variety of health assessments methods to capture information not available before about the health of Wisconsin residents. These assessments include: in-person interviews, paper questionnaires, computer-assisted surveys, physical measurements and laboratory tests.

The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin's statisticians randomly select households to invite to participate in SHOW. Residents who agree to participate will undergo an in-home health history interview, complete a booklet of questionnaires at home on their own and then make a visit to a nearby SHOW Survey Center, for the collection of biological samples, blood, DNA and urine. Participants also wear a device for one week that measures levels of activity and rest. Participants will receive financial incentive for their time.

The Field Interviewer and Team Lead positions will start with a 3 week long training (beginning of June 2015) in Madison, Wisconsin. This position is a full time position with flexible hours. The project may wrap up in October or could go a month or two longer.
