The second section summarizes the method and procedures used in the study: sampling, survey instrument construction, and data collection. The third section describes the results of the study. The fourth section addresses the major conclusions and recommendations of the study. The final section contains the Appendices of the report which includes copies of the survey instruments and raw data.
