Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Well-being Survey

Well-being logo

The Well-being Survey, sponsored by The Columbus Foundation, aimed to understand how Columbus, Ohio residents are doing both individually and as a community. The survey provides valuable insights to help support residents in reaching their full potential.

Initially administered to 690 American Population Panel members in fall 2019, the survey later expanded to over 2,000 respondents, including both panel and non-panel members in the Columbus area.
