Economic Impact Survey: Take Two A few months ago, the VIN Community conducted a brief survey of the economic impact of the downturn in the economy. Check out the survey results and share your thoughts in the VIN message board discussion. Since then, a new president has taken up residence in the White House, the Economic Stimulus package has been implemented (or is getting started). Has your perspective changed? Has your practice suffered or prospered? Please take this short survey and let us know. As usual, all information will be kept confidential. If you participated in another survey and haven't seen the results, check the Surveys and Clinical Research area in the Library.
