ISR strives for excellence in the design and execution of survey research. We have a particular interest in medium- and large-scale projects requiring expertise in sampling, questionnaire design, and data collection for repeated cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys.<\/p>\n

We also have considerable experience in survey experimentation, in which the content and\/or order of questions is varied systematically to gain methodological insights. ISR collects high quality, timely data with good response rates for a reasonable fee.<\/p>\n

We offer\u00a0survey research services\u00a0using various methods of data collection:<\/p>\n

TELEPHONE SURVEYS<\/h2>\n
\n

For telephone surveys, ISR selects respondents by random digit dialing (RDD), followed by a random selection of respondents within households.<\/p>\n

To maximize response rates and sample representativeness, our usual practice is to make at least 12 attempts to reach a household, on varying days of the week and times of the day.<\/p>\n

Telephone surveys are conducted from our centralized Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) laboratory with 75 workstations. To ensure the quality of the data, supervisors monitor interviews in progress.<\/p>\n

MAIL SURVEYS<\/h2>\n
\n

For survey populations with known addresses, mail surveys offer an attractive, low cost means to gather data from well-defined populations. We have surveyed physicians, nurses, lawyers, students and voluntary organization members.<\/p>\n

Critical to mail survey quality are carefully crafted invitations to participate and repeated strategically spaced efforts to reach respondents.<\/p>\n

WEB SURVEYS<\/h2>\n
\n

Increasingly, web surveys are an alternative or supplement to other methods of data collection. Web surveys are hosted on dedicated, secure, in-house servers.<\/p>\n

Our web surveys employ carefully timed, repeated appeals to maximize response.<\/p>\n

Textual responses are captured directly, saving transcription costs.<\/p>\n
