Participant Life Style Section 2 of the Impact Survey asked participants to indicate whether they were involved in any of 14 different types of activities at the time of the interview. Participants provided a simple “yes/no” response. Based upon common characteristics, their responses were then classified as educational, group or personal activities. Table VIII shows the number and percentage of individuals indicating participation in each of the following activities. Current Activities of Participants |

Given the somewhat “open ended” nature of the questions in this section, interpretation of results in terms of general themes is warranted. As a whole, the respondent group appears to be relatively active in outside activities with frequent participation rates in the 50 percent to 60 percent range. While clearly involved in church and computer-related activities, the group does not appear to be highly active in fraternal or other structured types of social/community groups or organizations. |
