Tailored Services Practice Model Survey

Survey items would be rated on 5-point agreement scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree).

These survey items would be appended to the Cross-Center Capacity Building Survey (instead of the Satisfaction survey items) at the close of every intensive services project (and the more intense brief projects, to be determined on a case-by-case basis).
