1 2000 American Psychiatric Association membership
residing in the United States, excluding medical students; psychiatric residents;
corresponding members and fellows; inactive members, associates, fellows;
and honorary and distinguished fellows.
2 Estimates are for
the doctoral-level clinically trained psychologists in the United States
in late 2001 and early 2002 reporting years. Missing data are excluded.
3 Estimates are based on National Association of Social Workers
(NASW) Practice Research Network (PRN) survey, 2000, which requested years
of experience since completion of first professional degree. The numbers
reported reflect slightly different year ranges from table 4. The NSAW PRN
survey data represent the following ranges: less than 2; 24 years; 59 years;
1014 years; 15 19 years; and 20+ years. Thus, data are not comparable to
their disciplines.
4 All subjects have masters or doctoral
education in nursing. The data in this table reflect the years since completion
of highest nurs ing degree; they do not include years since doctoral degrees
in non-nursing areas. It should be noted that the highest degree might be
a doctorate rather than master's degree.
5 Estimates are
based on the 2000 National Study of the Professional Counselor with growth
rate taken from National Certified Counselor data.
6 All
data are based on 2000 American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy
(AAMFT) PRN project funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
Data were collected from a random sample of AAMFT clinical members with
an 82 percent response rate of eligible participants.
