Inventory of Community Satisfaction and Family Support Measures

Abstract : The Army Family Research Program is a 5-year integrated research program that supports the Chief of Staff for the Army (CSA) White Paper 1983: The Army Family and The Army Family Action Plans (1984-1990) by developing databases, models, program evaluation technologies, and policy options that assist the Army to retain quality soldiers, improve soldier and unit readiness, and increase family adaption to Army life. This report provides a compilation of community satisfaction measures that have been used in a wide variety of contexts. The compilation is divided into four sections: community satisfaction measures, specific community attribute measures, military family/community surveys, and general community surveys. The description of each instrument is accompanied by a copy of the instrument itself or by a sample of the items.
