Leaders in the 21st century have become insistent that their decisions are based upon data--solid scientific unbiased data. Scientific research is an increasingly necessary tool to better understand the current behaviors and opinions among the residents of a region This type of data is crucial to measure current levels for programmatic planning purposes, as well as to measure behavioral and attitudinal changes to assess program effectiveness. Joel LaLone Consulting offers you an opportunity to collect this necessary data in a scientifically defensible, unbiased, independent, and cost-effective way.
As the principal in Joel LaLone Consulting, I have over 30 years of experience as a researcher in a wide variety of fields. I have led studies that have investigated a wide assortment of topics, for example, “Adolescent Eating Disorders,” “Satisfaction with Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services,” “Gambling Behaviors and Attitudes,” “Life as a Teen in Jefferson County,” "Profiling the Patterns of Giving Among Catholic Parishioners,"and several studies regarding "Tobacco Use and Exposure to Secondhand Smoke." I have experience researching for an array of different topics, many of which involved collecting sensitive information. The common denominator among each of these seemingly unrelated studies is that each involved sound sampling methodology, interviews to collect data, thorough statistical analysis of the data, and a "guided tour" approach to delivering the results to the client in an understandable and useful manner.
