Why was I contacted by a research company?
Research allows you to share your opinion on goods and services and public policy issues. You are interviewed on a variety of topics. The product or service that you use most often probably came to you with aid of research. Public opinion research determines the best mass transportation system, what social service programs are needed, what special service school children and senior citizens need, and so on. American consumers have a long traditions of giving input to businesses and having their say. People like you are the lifeblood of the research industry.
