These sections provide high level information on how your sub-agency is doing.

Main Report Results

The results include response percentages for each survey item. The definitions for the Positive, Neutral, and Negative response percentages vary in the following ways across the three primary response scales used in the survey:

Positive: "Strongly Agree and Agree" or "Very Satisfied and Satisfied" or "Very Good and Good"

Neutral: "Neither Agree nor Disagree" or "Neither Satisfied nor Dissatisfied" or "Fair"

Negative: "Disagree and Strongly Disagree" or "Dissatisfied and Very Dissatisfied" or "Poor and Very Poor"

Positive, Neutral, and Negative percentages are based on the total number of responses (N) that are in these three categories. The number of Do Not Know (DNK), Choose Not to Participate, Not Available to me, or Unaware of Programs responses, where applicable, is listed separately.
