Demographic Contacts

| Contacts Reporting Information Sheet 2013.pdf |
|
This document is for use by volunteers to aid in collecting contact demographic information during educational programs. Volunteers may pass out this sheet and summarize the data on their time sheets. Alternatively, volunteers may collect the data using their own observations, using the Observer-Collected form.

|
This form (or another that you find as useful) is to document demographic information of program participants when circumstances do not allow for self-reporting by clientele. The staff member or volunteer collects the demographic data using direct observation of the clientele. This method is much more practical when you are giving out educational information at a booth or having other brief interactions. Importantly, it is also more confidential in these circumstances.
