Monterey County Health Department Stress Survey
Of Rippling River Residents Is Completed

Quoted from the survey:

"The Rippling River Residents Association requested that the Monterey County Health Department conduct a health assessment of residents at the Rippling River Apartment Complex due to the Association’s concerns about the effects of ongoing disagreements with the Housing Authority of Monterey County on the health of residents. The Health Department created and applied a health survey instrument via door-to-door and telephone interviews, as well as self-administration of the questionnaire to determine the health of the residents."

The report may be downloaded from the Monterey County Health Department Web Site:
