    • Number of schools using the textbook and
    • Number of graduates potentially exposed to the text because it was a required text or due to instructor use.
       

    The survey had a 100% response rate. All 58 accredited programs participated in the survey.

_______________________________________________

Content of ABFSE curriculum outlines was drawn from the list of References included in each outline.
 
ABFSE does not require or recommend the use of any particular textbook. Each accredited program selects the textbooks best suited for use in their instructional programs.

Some texts may utilize terminology that is not representative of the diversity, equity and inclusion expectations of ABFSE. Instructors utilizing the textbooks should address the issue.
