Questionnaire 13 is in process! We sent out 5,420 Q13s on April 06, 2011 and are now examining the data we have received back. We would very much like to add to the data we have for analysis and so are putting the Q13 materials (.pdf files) here for downloading.

Please be sure to download and return BOTH the Answer Booklet and the Cover Sheet. There's no need to mail the Questions Booklet back to us. Please be sure to write your name and address on the Cover Sheet, and to put your Study ID (if you have it) on both the Cover Sheet and Answer Booklet. If you don't have it, we can look it up when we receive your materials in the mail, but we have to have name and address so we know who has sent the packet.

 

Our mailing address is:
UNCAHS
2212-F Elder St
Durham, NC 27705
