Abstract
This study guide presents a 40-item multiple-choice final examination aligned with the MILT 625
Community Survey curriculum and the 2026/2027 academic cycle, focused on the community-based
continuum of care for veterans in Madison County, Ohio. Items are distributed across four domains:
foundations of veteran continuum of care and community assessment methodologies; existing
strengths and resources in Madison County; identified gaps and barriers to veteran services; and
strategic opportunities, recommendations, and 2026/2027 updates including the PACT Act local
implementation, telehealth expansion, interagency collaboration, and digital equity initiatives. Each
item provides a four-option stem with a single best answer and a layered rationale that derives the
governing assessment mechanism or community-planning principle and identifies why each distractor
represents a flawed methodology, misaligned resource allocation, or unrealistic community
intervention. The instrument targets a cognitive distribution of approximately 30% recall, 50%
application, and 20% analysis, with roughly 75% of items scenario-based to mirror real-world
community assessment practice. A complete solution key and a 100-point grading rubric (2.5 points
per item, with partial-credit guidance for community-planning scenarios) accompany the
examination, and a mastery threshold of 80% is recommended for graduate-level proficiency on the
MILT 625 Community Survey Final.
Keywords
Veteran continuum of care; community-based participatory research (CBPR); asset-based community
development (ABCD); resource mapping; gap analysis; rural transportation; broadband equity; PACT Act;
telehealth; Madison County, Ohio; 2026/2027.
How to Use This Guide
Candidates should attempt all 40 items under timed conditions (approximately 45 seconds per recall item and
90 seconds per scenario item, for a total of roughly 45 minutes) before consulting the rationales. After scoring,
items answered incorrectly should be re-studied by reading both the correct rationale and the distractor
explanations, because the distractors in this instrument are deliberately engineered to reflect common
assessment and planning errors. The solution key and grading rubric that follow the examination support both
self-assessment and instructor-led administration.
Part 1 - Practice Examination (40 Items)
Instructions: Select the single best answer (A-D) for each item. Scenario-based items require synthesis of
assessment data, community context, and continuum-of-care principles. Answers and full rationales are printed
immediately beneath each item to support study-mode learning.

, MILT 625 Community Survey Final - Madison County, Ohio - 2026/2027 Veteran Continuum of Care
Q1: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is best characterized by: (Recall) (Direct)
A. Equitable partnership between researchers and community members across all research phases
[CORRECT]
B. Researchers conducting studies on community subjects with limited local input
C. Top-down, expert-driven intervention design without local engagement
D. Survey-only data collection without any community engagement
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: CBPR requires equitable collaboration between academic researchers and community members
across all phases (problem definition, design, data collection, analysis, dissemination), valuing local knowledge.
Top-down, survey-only, or extractive approaches violate CBPR principles of shared power and co-learning.
Q2: A veteran continuum of care typically includes which core domains? (Recall) (Direct)
A. Housing, healthcare, employment, and social support [CORRECT]
B. Emergency shelter only
C. Medical care exclusively
D. Financial benefits processing only
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A veteran continuum of care spans housing, healthcare (including behavioral health), employment,
and social support. Single-domain models fragment services and fail to address the multidimensional nature of
veteran reintegration and well-being.
Q3: To survey homeless or transient veterans across rural Madison County, the most appropriate
sampling strategy is: (Application) (Scenario)
A. Convenience sampling at known access points (London VA clinic, food pantries) plus snowball
sampling via peer navigators [CORRECT]
B. Simple random sample drawn from county voter registration rolls
C. Telephone-only random digit dialing
D. Mail-only survey sent to all county addresses
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hard-to-reach populations require non-probability methods (convenience at known access points plus
snowball through trusted peers) to reach those without a stable address or phone. Voter rolls, random digit
dialing, and mail-only surveys systematically exclude homeless or transient veterans, producing severe
undercoverage bias.
Q4: Survey data show 65% of Madison County veterans rate VA services as 'good,' but key informant
interviews describe 'long waits and confusing referrals.' The best interpretation is: (Application)
(Scenario)
A. Triangulation reveals a service-quality and access gap not captured by any single method alone
[CORRECT]
B. The qualitative interviews are biased and should be discarded
C. The survey is invalid and must be rerun from scratch
D. The two findings should be averaged into a single composite rating
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Triangulation uses multiple methods to surface convergent and divergent findings; divergent results
often reveal a real gap (here, satisfaction with outcomes coexisting with frustration over access). Discarding
interviews, invalidating the survey, or averaging methods across designs all violate triangulation logic.
