I have a data set that contains a number of multiple response items, such as:

Which of the following professionals are on staff in your agency?(Tick
all that apply.)
-addiction counsellor
-physician (non-psychiatrist)
-psychiatrist
-psychologist
-social worker
-other health care professional
-other professional.

I have been asked to provide a rationale for whether the % reported
for each option should be the % of responses or the % of respondents.
A review of my stats texts and a quick google search have not yielded
any information on the strengths and weaknesses of either approach.

I'd be very grateful if anyone can point me to a discussion on this.

Thanks.
