SRP has conducted a wide range of survey research projects over the years.   The surveys have involved both general and special populations, have focused on a wide variety of topics, and have incorporated various modes of data collection (i.e., telephone, mail, web, face-to-face, mixed-mode).  Our clients have included University faculty from a variety of schools and departments, faculty from other universities, state and local governments, and other outside agencies.  The major types of projects SRP conducts and specific examples of recent or current SRP studies are presented below.

These involve survey data collection conducted as part of larger medical/clinical studies, and typically involve client-supplied list-based samples.
