Professional organizations, to better serve their members, must strive to communicate regularly with the membership at large and to learn about members' needs, interests, and personal and professional status. The membership survey of the American School Health Association was sent to a stratified random sample of 500 members. A 68% response rate was achieved after a presurvey announcement and two follow-up mailings. Collected data was subjected to descriptive analysis and the chi-square test of significance. Survey findings indicated most ASHA members are satisfied with the overall operation and services of the Association. Data revealed satisfaction with overall quality, format, content, and appearance of the Journal of School Health. The ASHA national school health conference, The PULSE, and other ASHA publications also received strong approval. One-half the respondents reported they are required to earn continuing education credit. More than two-thirds of respondents had never attended a national conference. Overall ratings of various ASHA functions were statistically related to age, gender, income level, educational background, and primary discipline.
专业组织为了更好地服务其成员,必须努力与广大会员定期沟通,了解会员的需求、兴趣以及个人和职业状况。美国学校健康协会的会员调查被发送给了500名会员的分层随机样本。在进行预调查通知和两次后续邮寄后,回复率达到了68%。收集到的数据进行了描述性分析和卡方显著性检验。调查结果表明,大多数美国学校健康协会的会员对该协会的整体运作和服务感到满意。数据显示,会员对《学校健康杂志》的整体质量、形式、内容和外观感到满意。美国学校健康协会的全国学校健康会议“脉动”以及其他美国学校健康协会的出版物也获得了高度认可。一半的受访者表示他们被要求获得继续教育学分。超过三分之二的受访者从未参加过全国性会议。美国学校健康协会各项职能的总体评分在统计学上与年龄、性别、收入水平、教育背景和主要学科相关。
