Quality and other technical information related to this item:

1993
Sub-question "b" for this item had high item nonresponse among the mail respondents (68 percent for the NSCG; 56.6 percent for the SDR) and less than 1.0 for NSRCG CATI survey. Respondents did not seem to have a very firm sense of what constitutes professional experience; consequently, the reinterview data suggested low reliability.
