Health Survey, Program, and Policy Research

NORC’s health analysts engage in all aspects of social science research in the areas of health services, epidemiology and biostatistics, public health, and health policy. This work is grounded in NORC’s long tradition of designing and conducting complex longitudinal studies and studies of hard-to-locate people. In addition to extensive survey and other primary data collection capabilities, NORC expertise covers the spectrum of techniques available to study health and health care issues--analysis of large public data sets, analysis of secondary data such as administrative records, health policy analysis, program evaluation and evaluation design, social experiments, needs assessments, epidemiological case-control and cohort studies, cognitive studies, and use of qualitative methods, such as case studies and focus groups.
