Paul Harstad has over 15 years
of research experience in the health care and medical arena, including dozens of
surveys and focus groups among doctors, patients, caregivers, parents, and
seniors. In addition to focus
groups among physicians, we have successfully conducted executive-type
interviews among hard-to-reach doctors.
The leading objective of the
survey research (and of our clients) has been public service campaigns aimed at
educating the public on the need for and efficacy of prevention – such as
accidental injuries, malnutrition among seniors, tobacco use among teens, family
planning to reduce unwanted pregnancies, harmful effects from exposure to second
hand smoke, and indoor public smoking, etc.
Another common theme in many of
our surveys has been improving the delivery of health care services, such as
through efficiencies that both improve access to medical care and reduce cost.
Other research has focused upon expanding and improving medical
facilities and medical research.
