Describe how the State has ensured that any response data are valid and reliable, including how the data represent the demographics of the State.

Responses are believed to be valid and reliable as families are rating their own achievement of stated outcomes. Data are generally representative of the State's demographics. The state is very close to a representative for suburban and downstate, but we are over-representing collar county families and under-representing Cook county families. Efforts this year include surveying families closer to the time they exit the program and included a Quick Response reader (QR) code on surveys so that families can complete surveys on their smart phones.
