Practice Analysis of Certified Pedorthists
January 2017
Survey Return Rate
The overall response rate was 27%. This was derived by taking the number of completed surveys and dividing it by the number of surveys that were eligible to be completed. The number eligible was defined as the total number of surveys emailed, minus those that were not deliverable. Five hundred thirty two respondents completed the survey. This is a very strong response rate for a detailed and comprehensive survey such as that used in the present study and is comparable to response rates achieved in surveys of other professions. Respondents occasionally left questions blank, therefore the number of respondents may have been less than 532.
