Explanation: The survey instrument used by APH was constructed with the input of an external research firm and was designed to measure the levels of customer/consumer satisfaction with each of the factors. The survey was distributed to 147 ex officio trustees as well as to various professional groups whose members work in the field of blindness. Additionally, the survey was available on the APH Web site. This made it easily available for response by individuals who were not on a specific mailing list, but who were encouraged to respond through invitations on list servs and in various newsletters and announcements. The Web-based format also provided accessiblity to visually impaired individuals who require alternate media. |
