Welcome to the Doctors of Chiropractic Study Student Survey!
We would like to understand your perspective on engagement in professional chiropractic associations.
By answering these questions, you will be contributing to the Doctors of Chiropractic Engagement Study, funded by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) and led by Dr. Leonard Suiter. The purpose of this study is to better understand the factors influencing Student Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) in their decisions to engage or not engage with chiropractic associations in the United States. In particular, the study seeks to explore the reasons behind declining association membership and identify opportunities to strengthen engagement and participation in the future. This study is not being used for research purposes but rather for quality improvement and feedback.
Chiropractic associations are at an important juncture, and understanding the perspectives of students is essential. If you are currently a student member of an association, your experiences and insights can help us better understand what supports continued engagement and what challenges associations may need to address. If you are not currently a member, your perspective is equally valuable in helping us understand the factors that influence decisions about association membership and participation.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful and candid input. Your participation will contribute to a better understanding of how chiropractic associations can remain relevant, responsive, and valuable to the profession.
PLEASE NOTE: We are asking a series of in-depth questions in this survey. The survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey will time-out if you leave it open and incomplete. You cannot save a partial survey and come back to it later. We recommend you allow some uninterrupted time to share your thoughts and views. We really appreciate your input and effort in completing this important survey.
WE PLAN TO KEEP THIS SURVEY OPEN THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2026.
