  • * Domains ask the following questions (per Rogers18): relative advantage, “Is the innovation better than what was there before?”; compatibility, “Does the innovation fit with the intended audience, setting, and available resources?”; complexity, “Is the innovation easy to use?”; trialability, “Can the innovation be tried before making a decision to adopt?”; and observability, “Are the results of the innovation visible and easily measurable?”

  • Two “don't know” or blank responses.

  • One “N/A” response.

  • § One “don't know” or blank response.

  • Three “don't know” or blank responses.

  • Four “don't know” or blank responses.
