1 SHEEO State Authorization Survey: Analysis of selected data elements for 50 US states and DC DATA COLLECTION In Fall 11, SHEEO contracted with NCHEMS to collect data from all state authorization agencies in the US using an instrument called the SHEEO State Authorization Survey. The first data collection was completed by NCHEMS in October 11, and the results (raw data) for every agency was published on the SHEEO website: In Spring 12, the SHEEO staff took on the task of updating the agency data by re-issuing the SHEEO State Authorization Survey to all state authorization agencies in the US. This second data collection was completed in, and the results (raw data) for every agency was again published on the SHEEO website, replacing the October 11 data. Each survey uploaded to the site is now clearly marked at the top with the date of latest update; an archive of the 11 October data draw is also available at the same site: SHEEO staff expect to update the survey data again in fall 12, with surveys sent out in October 12 and results compiled in December 13. DATA ANALYSIS In April 12, SHEEO staff coded and analyzed the October 11 data and, in collaboration with NCHEMS staff, presented this analysis in a SHEEO Peer Collaboration Network (PCN) webinar. An archive of the webinar and associated resources are available at: While the October 11 data analysis was available through this site shortly after the April 12 Webinar itself took place, the information had not previously been presented in report form. In October 12, when the SHEEO staff collaborated with NCHEMS staff to code and analyze the data, it seemed a good time to present the analysis from both data draws in a combined report, and thus the resource at hand was created. The current report is an attempt to provide not only the individual analysis from the October 11 data or the data, but to present it in a way that allows direct comparisons across the two snapshots by the data element analyzed. Enjoy!
