    The following survey asks questions about a number of things in your life including your friends, your family, your neighborhood, and your community.

    This is not a test. There are no right or wrong answers.

    If you do not find an answer that fits exactly, use the one that comes closest. If any question does not apply to you or if you are not sure what a question means, just leave it blank.
