Surveys Overview

As part of our Phase 1 assessment battery, we administered three questionnaires developed by CSAL researchers. These surveys were created by integrating portions of multiple existing questionnaires. In the Demographic Survey, participants are asked questions pertaining to demographics such as race, gender, country of birth, English language status, education, and employment. We have two versions of this survey-one customized for participants in the United States, and one customized for participants in Canada. In the Computer Familiarity Survey, participants are asked questions about their computer knowledge and use. In the Reading Patterns and Attitudes Survey, they are asked questions pertaining to their frequency of reading different types of print and attitudes about reading in general.
