Data Collection

ASR is a regional leader in the collection of primary data, including phone surveys, face-to-face interviews, and online surveys. We also excel in the acquisition, integration, and deployment of secondary (previously existing) data, drawing from a customized database of community and Census data as well as from the results of our hundreds of past projects.

But our services don't begin with the data collection itself. The quality and utility of the data depend on experience and forethought to properly conceptualize and operationalize the needs and interests of our clients. ASR designs measurement tools specific to our clients, including special attention to the unit of analysis and the relationships among variables. That design depends on a thorough understanding of the scope of your project, including its goals, objectives, and activities. Once we understand your project, we can develop outcome measures that embrace it and indicators that measure those outcomes.
