We employ robust quantitative and qualitative research methods to collect and analyze data that is reliable, replicable, and follows systematic procedures. Health Affairs provides our partners with a structured survey lifecycle that ensures accuracy and replicability in our findings.
Our statisticians, survey methodologists, project managers, survey analysts, subject matter experts, and consultants work collaboratively to collect sound data and increase our partner’s ability to act on survey results. We design and implement methods that result in precise exploratory, descriptive, and causal survey research across large and small data pools.
