In August 2004, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) completed the 2004 AANP National Nurse Practitioner Sample Survey. The purpose of this survey was to identify the characteristics and practices of nurse practitioners (NPs). The survey consisted of 65 questions and replicated earlier surveys conducted by AANP in 1989 and 1999, with minor adaptations. Items addressed NP clinical specialization, educational preparation, patient populations, practice communities and settings, prescriptive practices, salaries and benefits, marketing strategies, liability experiences, and other variables. Adaptations to the 1989 and 1999 surveys were made to ensure relevance to current practice (such as the addition of newer specialties), while allowing for trending and comparisons over time.The five-page survey and an explanatory coversheet were mailed to a randomly selected sample of 23,850 NPs. The survey was blinded to ensure anonymous responses. The sample was drawn from the AANP National NP Database, which includes essentially the universe of US NPs and which documented approximately 97,000 individual NPs recognized to practice in the United States in early 2004; thus, the sample represented 25% of the total NP population. The stratified random sample was limited to NPs who indicated that they maintained a clinical NP practice when responding to the 2003–2004 AANP National NP Practice Site Survey in order to maximize participation by practicing NPs. It was further stratified to reflect the clinical specialty distribution of the overall NP population. There was slight oversampling of the smallest specialties, such as school and
