As many of you know, the Epidemiology Section conducted a web survey of Current Members during the months of September and October of 2010.  All Section members with working e-mails were sent an initial e-mail and two follow-up invitations to participate in the survey.  The e-mail invitations contained a link to the survey instrument.  A total of 1,085 responses (a 47 percent response rate) were received by Oct. 30, 2010, when the survey was closed. Thank you to all of those who were able to participate.

The purpose of the survey was to find out more about our Section members and to provide us with information that we can be used to plan our future Section activities.  A Data Subcommittee of our Section Membership and Communications Committee is working to analyze the responses.  We plan to post a summary report on the Epidemiology Section’s website some time this summer.
