Provide an overview of this process with the results on a Word Document:
List the questions you created.
Share how you administered the survey.
Include a chart (column, line, pie, bar, or scatter – all found as insert charts in Word) illuminating the results of your survey.
Conclude this assignment with 2 paragraphs summarizing your thoughts/opinions about the data you collected.

Answer each of these points in your summary. Feel free to include your own points:

Is the data what you predicted it would be?
How did your choice of administering the survey impact the outcome? If you elected to administer an anonymous survey the results may vary from choosing an email survey where you know the respondent.
How did those who responded impact the outcome? If you give the survey at a family reunion versus on campus you may get very different results. If you give the survey at an AA meeting your results could widely vary from giving the survey at a bar on Saturday night.
Finally, consider what the results mean about society in general and their opinion about people with substance use disorder (SUD).
