MUSE Program Director Survey
Thank you for taking part in the Multi-Site Implementation Evaluation of Tribal Home Visiting (MUSE).
The purpose of this study is to learn about tribal home visiting program implementation and the
experiences of families receiving home visiting services.
We are asking you to complete this survey because your role includes oversight of one of the home
visiting programs participating in MUSE. Your answers will help us understand your role in the home
visiting program and your perspective on the program. Because program directors’ jobs are complex and
involve many different tasks, this survey is also complex and a bit lengthy.
Your participation in this survey is voluntary. If you choose to participate, it will take about 45 minutes
to complete this survey. If you are unsure how to answer a question, please give the best answer you
can instead of leaving it blank.
Your answers will be kept private. Only the MUSE study team will have access to this information. Your
answers will not be shared with anyone at your program or any other agencies. We will not report
information collected in this study in a way that could identify you or your program.
We would appreciate your response by MM/DD/YYYY. If you have questions about the survey or at any
time during the study, please call Tess Abrahamson at James Bell Associates at ### or email ____.

C. PERCEPTIONS OF PROGRAM
Instructions: In this section, we would like to learn how staff members perceive their program’s intended outcomes. In
general, a program outcome is a benefit to a child, parent, or family. For example, some programs might see the
improvement of prenatal health as an important outcome.
Below is a list of possible outcomes for home visiting programs. We know your program may care about all of these
benefits, but we would like to know which is most important. We would like to get a sense of which outcomes you think
your program believes may be more important than others. Select the response that best represents what you think
your program believes about the outcome.
To help you decide on an outcome’s rank, think about whether it is discussed routinely in training and supervision.
Think about what staff in your agency is told about its importance. Select the response that best describes your
program’s ranking of this outcome.
1. How much of a priority is each of the following outcomes for your program, on a scale of 0 to 10?
0 = Not a Priority
5 = Moderate priority
10 = Highest priority
