Data collection set-up slide (to appear before each of the poll questions)

We have some other information we’d like to collect, but before we add questions to our data collections we want to get a sense of how easy it will be for your state to provide this information. In the coming slides, we will be asking some questions to help us understand that better. Your response is voluntary, but we would like as much information as possible. Your responses won’t be shared with others.
