Project Types
The Survey Research Center works with a wide spectrum of survey topics, including:
- Medical outcomes and follow-up

- Assessing risk factors
- Assessing quality of life

- Recruiting for clinical trials
- Assessing attitudes and behaviors related to health screenings
- Determining family trees for genetic studies
