State of the art data collection approaches for general and specific populations
General Population Studies
General population studies assess a representative sample of households in your catchment area. Usually conducted by phone, these studies can be tailored to provide data from a sample meeting any set of characteristics (e.g., only households with children, adults in certain age groups, or families in rural areas). Pricing for general population phone studies is calculated based on the length of the survey and the number of respondents required. Contact the SRL for a quote specific to your project.

These studies may be conducted by phone during business or evening hours. A web-based survey option is also available. Pricing for specific population studies is calculated based on the survey modality and the number of respondents required. Contact the SRL for a quote specific to your project.
