Addition - 652a Wireless Sessions Reporting Method #27

Closed enielsen-air closed 3 years ago

enielsen-air commented 4 years ago

Submitter: Evan Nielsen, AIR (Resubmitting from FY 2020 solicitation)

Data Element: 652a Wireless Sessions Reporting Method

Proposed Definition: Regarding the number of Wireless Sessions (data element #652) entered, is this an annual count or an annual estimate based on a typical week or weeks? Select one of the following: CT—Annual Count ES—Annual Estimate Based on Typical Week(s)

Rationale: The new element provides a mechanism to allow data users to make more precise comparisons (e.g., analyzing only those that included an annual count separately from those that are estimates based on typical week methods). It would not impact current reporting but would offer additional analytical flexibility.

States already collecting: Arkansas, New Mexico, and Wisconsin
