Appalachian Trail Thru-hiker Survey
May/17/2007 08:03 AM Appalachian Trail
I
am conducting this study of
thru-hikers as part of my continuing interest and
research on the Appalachian Trail. It is adapted
from Roland Mueser's 1989 study, my own thesis,
and other related literature. As you well know,
much has changed over the last 18 years, and it is
my hope that this study will be helpful in
contributing to the body of knowledge related to
the Appalachian Trail and its users.
If you have attempted a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, regardless of the mileage completed, please take a few moments to complete this survey. Responses will be completely confidential. The survey is composed of eight pages, and pre-testers have indicated that takes about 30-45 minutes to complete. Feel free to "guess-timate" when you are prompted for numerical figures.
I anticipate that data collection will continue until August 2007. If you would like to receive results of the study, fill out the email address prompt on the last page of the survey. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact me at johnny.swank@gmail.com.
