关于我们

Together, We Find Evidence for a Better World. NORC at the University of Chicago is an objective, nonpartisan research organization that partners with government, corporate, and nonprofit clients around the world to inform the critical decisions facing society. For more than 80 years, NORC has used proven methods and pioneered new techniques to study the broad spectrum of human experience. We have explored the structural and personal factors that contribute to health and well-being, examined how we best learn at different stages of development, and how education systems contribute to positive and negative outcomes. NORC has charted the nature of employment and work and created deep knowledge about the state of the national economy and our relationship with money and income. We have helped governments around the world design, implement, and evaluate programs to improve the human condition. And we have probed the heart of the American psyche to understand the sometimes-conflicting views that will shape the future of the country. We now look to the future in a context of accelerating change within the industry, growing amounts and types of data, dramatic technological shifts, a dynamic population, and a growing and diversifying set of players in the research and data industries. In this environment, we must chart a course of evolutionary yet bold change that will build upon our traditional strengths to ensure our relevance, impact, and long-term sustainability.

  • “What gets measured gets done.”” ? The Brookings Institution explains why data limits our understanding of public safety in many communities. That's why tools like our Live Crime Tracker are so important!?

    The Brookings Institution shared a compelling essay highlighting the potential for state and local leaders to collaborate across regions to reduce crime and expand opportunities. One key takeaway is the challenge of limited data, especially when it comes to understanding crime trends in rural and suburban areas. As the authors note, "what gets measured gets done," yet while most Americans live in these areas, only a third of suburban and rural communities have adequate crime data reporting. The article notes that tools like the Real-Time Crime Index and NORC at the University of Chicago's Live Crime Tracker have made strides—particularly in larger cities— but data gaps remain a hurdle for policymakers looking to implement targeted public safety solutions in rural and suburban areas. We fully agree that addressing these data gaps is critical to creating more effective, region-specific strategies for improving public safety. #PublicSafety #DataDrivenSolutions #CrimePrevention https://lnkd.in/e3QWaN7N

  • What's the key to evaluating communication campaigns in today's media environment? NORC's Rachel Van Vleet (Kappel), MPH, Jennifer Berktold, Ph.D., and Amelia Burke-Garcia share their expert insights in the American Evaluation Association's #AEA365. Their tips for health communication campaigns: ?? Whenever possible, use a mixed-method design to evaluate your health communication campaigns. ?? Consider how each data source can help you better understand the unique research questions you are interested in exploring and/or help you gain a different perspective. ?? Leverage the power of multiple data sources to strengthen confidence in your findings. Check out the article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eeRC7pgB

    Determining whether data are trustworthy and reliable and fit for the purpose at hand is essential to making informed decisions with data. Online panels are a case in point. These panels are basically groups of people that a research organization surveys repeatedly on different topics for different customers. Many companies maintain online panels that they claim are representative of the general US population or various key subgroups (e.g., college students) when in fact they are not. Usually these are opt-in panels and are not based on probability sampling. The only way to know whether the survey is truly representative of the group you want to understand is if the company is transparent about the methods it used to create the panel. Lack of transparency is, of course, a red flag. But sometimes the “transparency” the company provides leaves a lot to be desired. For example, simply because an opt-in panel is reweighted to the demographics of the general population doesn’t mean it isn’t still biased based on who actually opted in. NORC’s online, probability based panel, AmeriSpeak is fully representative of the US general population and provides a transparent and comprehensive set of measures of data quality and details on methodology. When assessing the usefulness of any data set it’s important to know what questions to ask, and to assess the data set carefully to determine whether it will really meet your needs. The article below from the AmeriSpeak team shows you how to do just that when it comes to surveys of the American people.
