Project types
The Survey Research Center works with a wide spectrum of survey topics, including:
- Medical outcomes and follow-up.
- Continuous quality improvement.
- Administrative issues, including patient satisfaction with service and employee satisfaction.
In any year, the center is involved in over 200 survey research projects of various sizes. Some require just a few personal interviews in a limited population, while others are general-population surveys of thousands of people or employee surveys of tens of thousands of people.
Examples of projects that the center works on include:
- Assessing risk factors.
- Assessing quality of life.
- Obtaining outcomes after diagnosis or treatment.
- Recruiting for clinical trials.
- Assessing attitudes and behaviors related to health screenings.
- Determining family trees for genetic studies.
- Assessing treatment satisfaction.
- Developing psychological scales.
