I'm a part timer and fairly new so I didn't attend the lecture by USF regarding their plan. I got the survey today and it looks pretty standard to me for surveys like this. Longitudinal studies like the AARP one VillagerPL is a part of will yield stronger data in the end, but it takes years to do these. This one is a one shot in time look at a selected population. Findings will be interesting and when the results are written up I would expect that the weaknesses (limitations) of the study will be discussed by the authors.
