Follow-up Cost Study. TEX-SIS FOLLOW-UP SC5.
Baugh, Ronald C.
This report presents data on the costs of follow-up studies, based on 29 separate follow-up studies conducted by eight public community/junior colleges in Texas. The purpose of this study, conducted by Navarro College as a subcontractor of Project FOLLOW-UP, was to provide data and information regarding the cost of follow-up studies that would be of use to other institutions and planning agencies. Three types of studies were examined: in-house surveys, mail out surveys, and personal interview surveys. Several variables were considered, including: administrative salaries and benefits, printing costs, computer expense, supply expense, travel expense, and telephone expense. Costs associated with each type of study per attempted contact and per response by the method of processing used are included in an appendix. Among the recommendations in this report is a formula for funding of follow-up studies. The data presented here are not absolute, final data by which follow-up study cost effectiveness can be measured. It is hoped that this information will nevertheless be useful to institutions wishing to examine study costs. (JDS)
