[ Health & Policy ]
Issues surrounding health care and policy encompass some of the most important areas of research in the U.S. and globally. Building on the methodological rigor of KnowledgePanel®and the expertise of our seasoned staff, Knowledge Networks (KN) manages health care related research for hundreds of exacting clients, including Stanford University, Harvard School of Public Health, AARP, RTI International, with funding from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the NIAA and the NIH among others.
In recognition of the volume and quality of health care research with which KN has been involved over the last decade, we recently inaugurated the Health Policy Center at Knowledge Networks. Its mission is to provide a resource for investigators in public sectors to conduct high quality research on issues of health care and health policy. The Center focuses on data quality and providing methodological solutions that meet standards of publication and peer-review processes. Understanding the unique needs and objectives of our diverse client base, Knowledge Networks provides an array of solutions from full custom studies to data collection alone.
For investigators exploring health conditions or concerns, KN’s Chronic Conditions Panel has pre-identified people who sufferer from of a variety of conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, and depression (to name just a few) and/or who have experienced greater than average health care utilization. This panel gives investigators the opportunity to rapidly, interactively, and affordably conduct statistically representative research among even low-incidence healthcare groups.
