This document will be professionally copyedited prior to finalization.

Comments will be collected through this survey to facilitate reconciliation of feedback. A preview of the survey can be found here. When providing your comments, please include the page and line number (not a range, just a single number) in the appropriate boxes. If your comment refers to a range of line numbers, you only need to indicate the first line number within the range. To make a general comment about the document as a whole, put 0 for page and line numbers. You can provide up to 100 comments. If you would like to provide additional comments, you can submit the survey again. Feedback must be submitted through this survey to be considered.

Note: The system does not allow you to save your progress to return later. Always submit your response before exiting. If you have additional comments at a later time, you can reenter the survey and submit a new response.

If you have any questions, please contact asamcriteria@asam.org. Thank you in advance for your participation in this important initiative. We look forward to your feedback.
