“Horse race polling serves its purpose, but it is only a fragment of what polls can reveal about our democracy.” NORC's Jennifer Benz writes about the value of measuring the public's mood—and how this can deepen our understanding of the electorate and the forces shaping their decisions: https://lnkd.in/ev_fUZdT

About us
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.

Check out the NORC Now story on our Crisis Intercept Mapping analysis with Policy Research Associates, Inc. Great collaboration and meaningful results. #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #988lifeline #crisiscare
Suicide prevention stands as one of today’s most urgent public health challenges. We helped 24 communities meet this challenge head-on through Crisis Intercept Mapping (CIM), a powerful process that identifies gaps in community-based suicide prevention and outlines solutions. CIM can help show where people at risk of suicide intersect with vital services, from schools and health care providers to first responders. This data helps communities pinpoint gaps in care, enhance coordination between services, and implement practical, life-saving solutions. Get the details in the latest NORC Now newsletter:

Happy Friday! Over the past year, my Health Care Strategy teammates and I at NORC at the University of Chicago have conducted high-impact work on various issues in health care. The results of our work have contributed to the discourse on cell and gene therapy, maternal health, senior housing, and more. I'm in awe of my amazing team and other colleagues across NORC for their expertise, diligence, creativity, and collaborative spirit. I'm also honored and thankful to our clients for entrusting us to do this important work. Check out our 2024 Year in Review video that highlights some of our many accomplishments. We’re excited to continue working to improve health care in the new year and beyond! https://lnkd.in/gpqb6pHJ #NORC #healthcare #healthcareconsulting #healthcarestrategy #healthcarepolicy #AI #disparities #maternalhealth #Medicaid #Medicare #prescriptiondrugs #pricetransparency #seniorhousing #seniorliving

Thank you to The SCAN Foundation for highlighting our groundbreaking research on “near duals,”—a financially vulnerable subset of the broader #ForgottenMiddle. Explore our first-of-its-kind analysis on this overlooked population and find out about policy recommendations to support their needs: https://lnkd.in/g9ZGBB6d
Before the year comes to a close, we simply must take a few posts to highlight the amazing work we supported in 2024. Let’s start with our Policy program. Our partnership with Public Policy Lab created The People Say, a first-of-its-kind resource cataloguing older adults’ experiences to better inform policy making. In attendance at the July launch event in Washington, DC were over 100 policymakers and stakeholders, staff from the offices of seven bipartisan members of Congress, and other key decision makers. Today The People Say has over 12,000 active users from all 50 states and DC! Momentum also continued on our #MultisectorPlansforAging (MPA) with the national framework informed by 4 listening sessions in Washington DC, PA, AL, and TX and more than 200 older adults. California solidified itself as a lodestar for broader MPA efforts with 32 communities across the state now working on their own local MPAs and 870 stakeholders at this year’s CA for ALL Ages & Abilities Day of Action informing forthcoming initiatives for 2025 and 2026. Beyond CA’s borders, MPAs are in development in 27 other states. Many of their efforts have been bolstered by our Rural MPA Toolkit, which highlights the difference in urban and rural demographic trends and communities needs to aid planning efforts. These inroads come at a crucial moment. Our partner NORC at the University of Chicago’s groundbreaking research on “near duals,”—a financially vulnerable subset of the broader #ForgottenMiddle— includes a first-of-its-kind analysis on this overlooked population, and offers bold policy recommendations to support their needs. A recent virtual event showcasing the research was attended by over 100 aging and policy leaders at the state and federal level. In such a high-stakes and oftentimes turbulent field, we could not be more proud of and grateful for our ever-reliable and dedicated partners’ commitment to ensuring a better future for older adults.

How can we truly understand crime's impact on our communities? Traditional metrics only tell part of the story. As NORC's John Roman explains in a new expert brief: "Understanding and quantifying victim harm isn't just an academic exercise—it's essential for creating effective policies that both prevent crime and support victims." John writes about NORC’s work on the HAVEN project with Temple University that has been building a comprehensive taxonomy identifying the different types of victim harm using, and how victim harm is tracked. https://lnkd.in/eTCbXy4M
