  4. METHODOLOGY • PROJECT SCOPE • 92 sites were surveyed in 2005 - Northeast (21 sites) - Europe (20 sites) - Northwest (10 sites) - Korea (9 sites) - Southeast (13 sites) - Pacific (5 sites) - Southwest (14 sites) • 249,555 surveys were distributed throughout the Army to four patron groups: • Active Duty Soldiers • Spouses of Active Duty Soldiers (CONUS only) • DA Civilians • Retirees (CONUS only) • 4,250 surveys were distributed at Fort Shafter/Schofield Barracks • SURVEY ADMINISTRATION • Designed to collect information on installation MWR programs and facilities as well as the leisure activities of your potential market • 65 multiple choice questions; 7 questions were tailored to your specific installation issues

  5. METHODOLOGY • SURVEY ADMINISTRATION (Continued) • Active Duty and DA Civilian surveys distributed by installation POCs • Spouses of Active Duty and Retiree surveys direct mailed to home addresses • Web survey option offered for the first time to all respondents

  6. METHODOLOGY • SURVEY SAMPLE • Four population segments - Active Duty - Civilian Employees - Spouses of Active Duty (CONUS only) - Retirees (CONUS only) • Response Rates and Confidence Intervals for each patron group and overall sample _____________________________________________________ * Response rate is calculated by dividing the number of surveys returned by the number of surveys distributed. It should be noted that low response rates (i.e., less than 20%) increase the chance that one or more subgroups (e.g., for active duty patron group, E1-E4 is a subgroup) may be over- or under-represented. Any patron groups with fewer than 15 survey respondents do not have their data reported to protect privacy and ensure representativeness. **A confidence interval for a sample mean tells us the range in which we are likely to find the true population mean: Assume 300 surveys were returned for an active duty patron group of 1,350. 52% responded that they used the gym in the last year. The 95% confidence interval for this case would be 5%. Thus there is a 95% chance that the TOTAL number of active duty at this installation who used the gym last year is between 47% and 57%. We can be 95% confident that between 634 and 770 active duty used the gym last year.

  7. PATRON SAMPLE* RESPONDENT POPULATION SEGMENTS ACTIVE DUTY (n = 361) SPOUSES OF ACTIVE DUTY (n = 170) CIVILIANS (n = 139) RETIREES (n = 194) *The n provided for each patron group is equal to the number of respondents who provided their rank or paygrade.
