Neat!

You only seem to mention self-reports. What about the part of the pre- and postsurveys where you had the workshop participant's friends rate them?

"We have been conducting a peer survey of CFAR workshop participants, which involves sending surveys about the participant to 2 of their friends, both before the workshop and again approximately one year later. We are in the final stages of data collection on those surveys, and expect to begin the data analysis later this month."

Oops, missed that bit.

We are still finishing up data collection on those (we don't ask the friend to fill out the post-survey until after the participant has filled it out, which means that it takes a few extra weeks to get all the friend data). I'll start the data analysis on those within the next week or so.

Random question - was anything ever done with data from the November 2013 participants? (That's me.)

Unfortunately not. We made a bunch of changes to the survey right after your workshop, so we ended up with only a tiny dataset with your workshop's version of the survey. (More here.)
