Survey sample size: 2000 randomly selected participants who attended our seminar on the Reid Technique® of Interviewing and Interrogation in 2001 and 2001- of which we received 350 completed surveys. Some of the completed survey respondents answered the questions as N/A because they have not had the opportunity to use the techniques or did not know how to answer the question. These responses were not used for final calculations. The N/A responses accounted for less than .5% of the responses. We want to thank those who took the time to tell us their experiences using the Reid Technique®.
