RDA will use research associates in collection of survey data, stationing them in public locations where target populations congregate, including bus transfer stations, health clinics, and community centers, and have them conduct surveys as a guided interview. RDA will also develop an on -line survey which will be emailed to each organization listed in the "Pocket Guide" to ensure social service provider input. Task 2.4 Inventory Update and Development of Outreach Database RDA will build and maintain a comprehensive database of stakeholders and providers included in the inventory update. The database will include an unduplicated list of individuals, their contact information, and a demographic analysis of participants for ongoing assurance that we are reaching out to consumers, family members, people from underserved communities, and broad age groups in all three cities. We will keep track of participation and demographics for all focus groups and surveys. At the close of the contract, RDA will provide the Department with the database in Excel or Access format for future outreach efforts.
