New Guide Available for Measuring Civic and Political Engagement

Cliff Zukin, Professor of Public Policy and former director of The Star Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers Poll (SLERP), and Krista Jenkins of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling, are part of a team of researchers who have just produced "A Guide to the Index of Civic and Political Engagement."

The Guide provides an easy-to-use and flexible tool for gathering data on levels of civic and political engagement within a community or a program. It includes 19 different items for measuring engagement, the dimensions that they capture, and the different ways they can be used.

Download a free copy of the Guide as well as its companion report "The Civic and Political Health of the Nation: A Generational Portrait" from CIRCLE's (The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement) web site at
