Our world-renowned statisticians and survey methodologists bring best practices and rigorous research capabilities to design high-quality, cost-effective, representative data collections for Westat clients. We bring innovative approaches throughout the entire survey process, from frame development, sample design, survey instrument development, data collection and adaptive survey design weighting and variance estimation to reporting and release activities.
Skilled in multimode survey designs, we tailor the instrument design, contact protocols, and survey materials to gain and maintain response rates. We conduct experiments and testing to research new approaches before a survey launches or, when applicable, within the survey design itself.
