These are the results for the SPSS tests run on the data received from the surveys

given to Ophthalmologists and Optometrists

1. Reliability test on questions #1-10.

Reliability Statistics Cronbach's Alpha .647 N of Items 10

The table above shows the results of the Reliability test, Cronbach Alpha, for questions 110 on the survey.

2. I then made two new variables. I combined questions 1,2,3,4,7,10 to make one variable. This variable measured the Independent Variable. The other new variable was made from questions 5,6,8,9. This new variable is the Dependent Variable. Note- IV- how satisfied they are with retinal care in Lafayette and the DV- whether they want a new retinal specialists in the Lafayette area.

3. Next, I ran a correlation test between two new variables, Iv and DV. Below is the table with the results.
