2002 Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) Directory,
and 2002 Committee for the Advancement of Professional Practice (CAPP) grant
application counts. Compiled by the American Psychological Association Research
Office. Numeration for rate is from later 2001 to early 2002. Earlier numbers
for students are derived from 1998 Graduate Study in Psychol ogy. 3
Based on National Association of Social Workers Practice Research Network
(PRN) Survey (2000b) indicating 21 percent of NASW clinically trained members
are male. 4 Data are based on the National Board for Certified
Counselors database of National Certified Counselors. 5 Represents
psychiatric nurses who are 65 and older. 6 Data based on
2000 American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy PRN project funded
by Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). Data were collected from
a random sample of AAMFT clinical members with an 82 percent response rate
of eligible participants, as well as from the 2002 California Association
for Marriage and Family Therapy (CAMFT) 2002 Member Practice and Demographic
Survey, which was sent to a random sample of the 3,900 of the 14,500 Clinical
Members of CAMFT and had a 27 percent response rate. The "Hispanic"
category was treated as a separate question; accordingly, percentages do
not sum to zero. 7 Source: Thomas, A. (2000). 8
Data are for the year 20012002 and the totals for race ethnicity are 1,939
and 903, respectively, for males and females. |
