Data Collection Methods
Information for Adult Consumer Survey is collected via a direct conversation with the person receiving services either face-to-face, secure video conference, or over the phone. Survey is carried out to hear directly from people served by publicly funded long-term services and supports programs—known as LTSS. Additionally, background information is primarily collected from the individual's record. The main survey includes questions about personal experiences that may only be answered by the individual receiving services. Some questions are more observable about the individual's involvement in the community, their choices, respect and rights, and their access to services. These questions allow for the use of "proxy" or other respondents who know the individual well (such as a family member or friend). Each state is instructed to complete a minimum of 400 surveys with a random sample of older adults and adults with a physical disability who are receiving at least one publicly funded service beyond case management. Most states enter data into an online data entry system specifically designed for the purposes of this project (ODESA©).

Technical Specifications
The National Core Indicators (NCI) provide information on beneficiaries' experience and self-reported outcomes of long-term services and supports for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families. NCI includes an in person survey, family surveys for parents and guardians of adults and children who receive I/DD supports, and a staff stability survey. For the purpose of the Adult Core Set, only data from the NCI In-Person Survey will be reported. Therefore, the technical specifications for the NCI measure in the Adult Core Set include only the In-Person Survey.
