Research Questionnaire Summary of Results The results of an independent study by Denise Mumford (TSSF), who sent a postal questionnaire to 182 Tertiaries and Novices in 4 Areas of the European Province, TSSF, are published below. Denise was given permission by Provincial Chapter to undertake this research, (but was not commissioned by Chapter.) 

The most that can be claimed for the information received is that it is an indicative response from those who did respond (60.44% of the sample). It is not possible to generalise from such a small sample, and the results cannot be applied to the Order as a whole.
