Information for Prospective Clients

The Survey Research Center offers a full range of public opinion research options to its clients. In addition to its regular academic and public interest surveys, the Center can accommodate the research needs of private clients. By consolidating all of the elements necessary to conduct survey research, the Center can manage any polling endeavor from conceptualization through the final report.

• The SRC works with clients to develop a survey that is most suitable for their needs.
• The SRC assures the highest quality of data collection through extensive training of interviewers and careful design of questionnaires.
• The SRC assures that the data collected will provide answers to the client’s questions.
• The SRC operates a twenty station CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) system with the ability to manage complex sampling procedures.

Some clients prefer that their surveys be kept confidential, so they are not displayed on this site. However, to see examples of types of client surveys please see Citizen Evaluations of the Louisiana Courts, Evaluating the Judges of Baton Rouge, and the St. Tammany Local Government Survey, all in the list of previous studies.
