Massage Therapy Publications
November 2001
Conducted by
The names used for this survey
were selected on an nth name basis from a list of massage therapists purchased
from infoUSA specifically for this survey.
On September 7, 2001, every
name selected was mailed a two-page questionnaire, a cover letter from
Research USA, Inc. asking for their cooperation, a one-dollar incentive,
and a stamped return envelope.
A second mailing to non-respondents
was made on September 28, 2001. This mailing consisted of a questionnaire,
cover letter, and a stamped return envelope.
No indication was given in
either mailing to show for whom the survey was being conducted.
By October 31, 2002, 519 completed
questionnaires had been returned:
