We systematically collect and interpret information using statistical and analytical methods and techniques of the applied social sciences. The research areas we focus on include social trends and public opinion.

2. How do you choose/identify people to participate in the research?

Our research participants are randomly selected from the population and asked to voluntarily participate in the research if they meet the profile of interest for that study.

3. My number is in the Do Not Call (DNC) registry. Why are you still calling me?

The DNC registry is meant for telemarketing calls or commercial messages. Our work is not covered under this as it is meant for research purposes only.
