Data Analysis

This report is based on descriptive statistical analysis of state responses to the Monitoring Evaluation's Part B and Part C questionnaires. For each survey item, the number and percentage of states selecting each response option were calculated. When questions did not apply to all states as the result of skip patterns within the questionnaire, the percentage of applicable states was also calculated. For example, only states that used a focused approach to monitoring were asked about their specific areas of focus. Therefore, for these questions the percentage of states using a focused approach was calculated for each focus area. The results presented in this report represent the universe of potential respondents. Thus, no tests of significance are needed.
