Abstract:
This is a renewal request of a long running data collection series. Many of the questionnaires have been standardized since the previous approval, 3 years ago. With the standardization some of the sample sizes have increased. However, with fewer questionnaires to maintain and summarize, we have been able to show cost savings as well as a reduction in the number of responses per year.
