Survey - AB/DL Practices - 0 - the Basics

Edit 10 December 2016: These results have been updated per the tenth year standards update.

This part of the survey covered some basics, mainly for use when interpreting the rest of the survey results. These included sex and birthyear.

Edit 15 May 2019: Questions 1 and 2 offered participants the options of providing a nickname and email address, respectively. This information, initially kept confidential, was later deleted to fully anonymize the results.

One question that was problematic was #3. It asked participants to choose a category based on their interests, and many participants had a broad range of interests. For example, some ABs have developed an interest in caregiving. These interests are clearly not mutually exclusive. However, it was necessary to survey which was the surveyee's most important interest. The following clarification was offered shortly after the survey started:

For those who are both AB/DLs and caregivers: Please answer question #3 based which you have had the most interest in, which you have had the strongest desire to be. If you have been equally interested in caregiving and being an AB/DL, please select 'other' above. This question will be expanded upon by two other questions, later in this survey. One will explore your willingness to serve in a role that isn't the one that you are most interested in. The other will explore what role you generally end up in. For example, these three questions will record how many want to be caregivers, how many are willing to be caregivers, and how many usually are caregivers. (Clarification added 7/15/09)
