Research & Data Analysis Solutions

Demographic & Economic Impact Studies

If you have questions about Alabama’s population, Auburn Montgomery Outreach has the answer for you.  We collect, maintain, and analyze a variety of socio-demographic data regarding Alabama’s population and disseminate vital information to public and private agencies for use in their strategic planning and development programs.  We provide this information to hundreds of individuals representing many organizations every year.  The uses of this demographic information are varied and range from documenting a need to support a grant request to providing background information in a human interest story in the newspaper to determining the most appropriate location for a specific business.  Depending on the size of the request and the time required to produce that information, this service is typically provided at no cost to the requestor.  It is simply a service Outreach provides to the public. 

In addition to the analyses of population trends, clients often want to know how their business impacts their city or state, or they may ask how a future venture is likely to impact the region’s economy.  Our economic impact research allows us to answer such questions.  We conduct economic forecasting and impact analyses, providing prospective businesses with the information necessary to make sound decisions. 

Survey Design & Implementation

What if you have questions about your own organization?  We can provide answers to those questions as well.  Working with you we can design, administer, and analyze surveys to assess your organization’s climate, your employees’ contentment with many different aspects of the job, your customers’ satisfaction with the products and services you provide, and even your potential customers’ unmet needs. 

Research Design & Data Analysis

We engage in a wide variety of sponsored research activities with clients ranging from private agencies to departments of local, state and federal government.  Depending on the client’s needs, we can design and conduct full research or work on specific steps of the research process, such as questionnaire design, selection of the study population, data collection, data entry, statistical analysis, interpretation of the results, and the production of study reports.  At Outreach, we have the experts who can help you design a study and analyze the data in a way that will help you answer the right questions and address the issues necessary – lending meaning and credibility to the outcome.
