Surveys often are that way to collect data on outcomes, I always think about whenever I'm administering a survey, I try and think very carefully about how I am as a survey complete, or how I am as a person completing a survey. A person who is giving off those outcomes that people are trying to collect. So I think that while they can be valuable in many ways, I think that they're limited, and I think, especially when we're talking about this, when we're talking about what is happening or what happened on Saturday, it is so much more than outcomes, it's so much about process and I think this goes back to everything we were saying around the relationship building piece, the cultural competency piece, how you have to build those parallel strategies. If you are building those parallel strategies, then it's just not about sort of the outcome of what was learned, or how did you engage with science, it is about the process of how this event came to be. So something like an interview with a Dottie Green, or a set of maybe even like three or four qualitative questions that you could ask a subgroup of students or parents leaving the event. I think that is some of the data that should go hand in hand with some of those outcome metrics.
