Report of the Director

Although SRL is actually rather small in size when compared to many other campus units, it would be difficult to identify another with day-to-day operations as thoroughly integrated as SRL. All elements of our unit must interact with one another to such a fine degree of coordination that it is safe to say that all of our accomplishments are true group achievements. This point is often not reflected in our annual reports.

Several important events took place during December 1997. In Urbana, long-time employee Bernita Rusk retired and was honored for her 27 years of very loyal and dedicated service to SRL. In Chicago, our physical offices were moved from leased space at 910 West Van Buren Street to the newly renovated College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs (CUPPA) Hall, previously Alumni Hall South, at 412 South Peoria Street. We are very pleased to be back on campus and in this building with the other units of our College.

During the 1997-1998 fiscal year, we also developed a strategic plan to help better position SRL to remain healthy and competitive as we move into a new century. I would like to thank Marguerite Harris, Diane O'Rourke, and Jennifer Parsons for volunteering their time to serve on the strategic planning committee. Our plan was reviewed at an all-staff meeting held in Kankakee in April 1998, and plan implementation began at the start of our fiscal year on July 1, 1998.

After a yearlong search, I was appointed SRL Director, effective July 1, 1998. I would like to thank the Search Committee and Dean Wim Wiewel for their trust and support. I look forward to the challenge of building upon the accomplishments of Robert Ferber, Seymour Sudman, Richard Warnecke, and the many dedicated SRL staff who have made our survey research laboratory one of the best.

SRL Studies

The Survey Research Laboratory was involved in 69 new and continuing studies in 1997-1998, ranging from large, multi-year studies to small service projects. This section presents brief summaries of these studies and a table of the affiliations of the sponsors of these studies.

SRL's special research focus on survey methodology continued in 1997-1998. Almost half of SRL's studies for 1997-1998 were health related, making health SRL's major area of substantive research, as it has been for a number of years. Major areas of research activity included smoking cessation, cancer screening and prevention, and substance abuse. Several studies centered on minority and women's health issues. Other major study areas included education, crime, and housing.

Staff Activities

The citations in this section show the considerable professional activities of the staff of the Survey Research Laboratory. In 1997-1998, SRL staff published books, reports for clients, articles in refereed journals and professional proceedings, and chapters in research volumes and textbooks. Several SRL staff also served as editors for professional journals. Nine staff members gave presentations at professional conferences, and some presented lectures and workshops. Four staff members held positions in professional organizations. Staff also served on many University and community committees and performed consulting and other professional service work. This record reflects the commitment of SRL's staff to their own professional development and to improving the quality of survey research.
