Abstract
This report summarizes responses to an internet-based survey sent to women chemists who
attended COACh-sponsored workshops co-located at the National American Chemical Society meetings
from 2006 to 2010. Ninety-two women responded to an initial mailing of the survey in March, 2015, and
92 attendees responded. An additional 22 people responded to a second mailing in April, 2016.1
The survey followed the format of a 2007 survey sent to people who had attended COACh
sponsored workshops, described in a 2010 article in Journal of Chemical Education. Questions were
designed to examine the impact of the workshop on their interactions with others and their careers as
well as to gather information on their career experiences. The first section below summarizes
respondents’ reports of the impact of the workshops and how often they used the skills that were
taught. The second section summarizes information on the characteristics of the respondents, and the
third examines the way in which respondents’ characteristics and career experiences were (or were not)
related to the reported impact of the workshop. The fourth section compares data from this survey and
that gathered in 2007, and a final section summarizes respondents reports of how COACh could help
them in the future.
