The Impact Data chart compares the mean of pre and post survey questions with the most responses. Hover over each section of the bar graph to view a count of participants. Data is shown for activities that correspond to the selected filter criteria.
Save Report Charts
Some sections allow individual charts to be printed or saved.
- Click the chart menu.

To print or save a section that does not include the chart menu icon, please reference the following article: Save or Print a Record as a PDF.
NOTE:
The program area filter only displays for organizations that use program areas. This includes Extension organizations and a few SNAP-Ed organizations. All other filters are available for all organizations.
NOTE:
If incomplete Program Activities are included, this filter criteria is not displayed at the top of the page. Click the Filter button to see that the corresponding box is checked.
NOTE:
Program Activities (and corresponding participants) with more than one program area will be counted once per program area.
NOTE:
For Extension organizations, in years 2019 and after, the Age chart will display demographics for the 18-29 years and 30-59 years categories. For SNAP-Ed data and Extension data 2018 and prior, the Age chart will list one category for this data: 18-59 years.
NOTE:
The displayed Impact Data is determined as follows:
1. PEARS finds all Program Activities that fit the filter criteria and looks through all attached surveys.
2. PEARS looks at all the questions in the attached surveys that were asked both pre and post and selects the questions with the highest number of responses.
3. PEARS displays the mean of response options. This mean is also reported in the Responses by Question export.
