HES Starter Kit: Data Use and Reports

How do ASHA, CAPCSD, and CAA use the data?

ASHA, CAPCSD and CAA use data collected via the HES instruments to report on trends in CSD education that will inform future directions and initiatives undertaken on behalf of the discipline. Individual program data from the Graduate Guide Survey populates EdFind. Individual program data from the CAA Reports are used in accreditation reviews.

Only aggregate data are available through

• CAPCSD Demographic Survey report
• CAPCSD Salary Survey report
• Joint ASHA-CAPCSD Research Doctoral Survey report
• Supplemental reports from the Graduate Guide Survey

Programs will have improved access to comprehensive data-based information when the majority of CSD programs consistently participate in the HES instruments. Reporting and analysis capabilities of the HES are based on data directly provided by academic programs that complete survey instruments.

How can I access program data and reports?

Access to program data and reports is variable according to the particular instruments. Information submitted by a program for the Graduate Guide Survey can be viewed by everyone through the detailed program listing in EdFind. Select aggregate reports from the Graduate Guide Survey will be available on the ASHA Web site.

Individual data submitted to the CAPCSD Salary Survey and the CAA Application and Annual Reports can only be accessed by the individual program submitting the data via My HES Info as confirmation reports. Another program's individual data responses cannot be viewed by other programs.

Reports of individual program data are not available for the CAPCSD Demographic Survey and the Joint ASHA-CAPCSD Research Doctoral Survey. Rather, data submitted for these surveys are summarized in aggregate form across all programs and published on the CAPCSD and/or ASHA Web site(s).

What data are available through EDFIND?

EdFind, the online search interface available on the ASHA Web site, shows other master's and doctoral level program information such as admissions, tuition and fees, and program details based on the responses provided by the program directly via the Graduate Guide Survey.
