Update on NAQC FY2011 Brief Budget Survey!
Wednesday, September 7, 2011
Posted by: Natalia Gromov
Thanks to everyone who has completed the FY2011 budget survey so far! As of
Tuesday, September 6, 40 quitlines have started their budgetsurveys, 18 (of the
40) have completed it. The survey will remain open until September
15. If you have received a survey link but have not yet opened the
survey to complete your contact information, please do so as soon as possible.
While most respondents will be able to come back to the survey at any time to
complete additional questions, there are a few systems where Survey Monkey is
not able to recognize a computer as having started the survey already due to
firewall or cookie settings. To determine whether your computer system is one of
these, follow the instructions on the opening page of the survey
NAQC and
our advocacy partners will be using that information to continue to make the
case for maintaining and increasing quitline budgets, especially given the
upcoming introduction of the new FDA warning labels with the 1-800-QUIT-NOW
number. The survey asks about:
- FY2011 budget numbers
- FY2011 budget sources and percentages of funding
- FY2012 budget estimates
- FY2012 budget sources and percentages of funding
- The impact of any budget changes during FY2011 or from FY2011 to
FY2012.
A PDF copy of the survey questions is available on the 2011 survey page
of the NAQC website. We plan to modify future survey instruments so we can
avoid having to repeat this process next year.
Please contact NAQC’s
Director of Research, Jessie Saul, if you have any questions or concerns about
the revised survey timeline or the upcoming brief budget survey. (jsaul@naquitline.org, 800.398.5489 ext
702). PDF copies of your FY2010 survey responses are also available upon
request. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
