INWEM Gender and Diversity Survey

Prepared for IAEM 2010

Notes This is not a scientific survey and there are

some design flaws. Known flaws: USA centric questionsA couple of confusing questionsDiversity questions were added late

Participants were limited to those people who had access to the Internet. No paper surveys were used.

Hopefully this will become an annual survey and next year will be more scientific!
