    Footnotes

    1. This number is the difference between the number of individuals who were originally sent questionnaires and the number of individuals identified as being improperly selected for the rater pool, either as a result of: an incorrect address, they were retired, they did not feel qualified to rate programs, or they were asked to rate programs in an area they felt was not appropriate given their field of expertise.

    2. This includes questionnaires completed by an individual other than the person sent the questionnaire.
