Hard to Reach Populations

PTV NuStats’ survey methodologists and research scientists have met the challenge of understanding and meeting the needs of hard to reach populations. To increase response rates and reduce survey bias, the focus of research design protocols is specially designed to elicit the opinions and behaviors of recent and new immigrants, Hispanic consumers and other minorities, and the aging and youth populations, including young professionals. For these projects, most of PTV NuStats’ clients are public agencies as well as foundations and universities engaged in public policy investigation.
