About the Surveys

2006 NH Civic IndexEach survey focuses on the same five key areas of civic life. Respondents were asked questions about their civic activities, confidence in their individual civic skills, trust in our civic and political institutions, civic knowledge about local and national political leaders and institutions, and most important sources for information about politics and civic life. The adult survey results serve as a benchmark for an in-depth exploration of the youth survey results, in order to pinpoint gaps in civic knowledge and understanding, and to locate those civic attitudes and behavior that may prevent students from successfully navigating critical civic relationships.
