Research
We collect your primary research using random-sampling telephone surveys, focusing on an individual’s experience and behaviors that is both geographically and demographically sensitive, as it is the most reliable and timely information. This data is augmented with focus groups and community health panels, giving more detail and depth to your research. Your final reports include supplemental secondary data to provide context and benchmarks, including at the state and national levels, as well as to Healthy People 2020 targets.
