TELEPHONE SURVEYS AND PAPER SURVEYS WERE OFFERED AS ALTERNATIVES TO THE ON-LINE SURVEY. THE SURVEY WAS DISTRIBUTED WIDELY THROUGHOUT THE STATE:MAILINGS, BOTH EMAIL AND POSTAL MAIL, TO 823 PARTICIPANTS IN HSC PROGRAMS INCLUDING DENTAL SERVICES, AQUATIC FITNESS CENTER MEMBERS, THERAPEUTIC HORSEBACK RIDING, INCLUSIVE RECREATION, AND VOLUNTEERS.
