Making Connections Survey Indicators Database

The database includes only those indicators that can be found on survey instruments. Many relevant indicators are not included in this database, because they come from non-survey data sources such as administrative records, program documents, focus groups, in-depth interviews, and observational research. As a result, domains that have been a strong focus of survey research (such as Economic Opportunity or Informal Social Networks) include a wide variety of indicators and measures. Domains that are generally researched using non-survey methods (such as Family Strengthening Alliance Building) have much less content.

The MC Survey Indicators Database is a work in progress. As we identify additional survey instruments relevant to the Making Connections database, they will be incorporated into the database.
