All aspects of data collection and statistical management for my study were performed by DM-STAT. All areas of work performed by DM-STAT were done in consultation with the researchers and carefully documented in deliverables furnished at each stage of the study. This included development of study protocols, sampling strategies, data collection timelines and respondent dispositions all of which were contained in a Manual of Operations. DM-STAT has designed a Data Management System (DMS) which includes programming the study protocol, quality control and system testing, developing a respondent status report, and quality control of respondent data, all of which were provided in a DMS manual of operations. Once the data collection was completed, the data were entered using double data entry quality control techniques, and then cleaned and ready for analysis.

Turning our attention to the analysis phase of the study, we were presented with a manual containing frequency distributions, and univariates for all of the variables as well as the derived variables for scales. This was enormously helpful as a number of investigators prepared manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals.

The attention to detail provided by your highly trained professional team of data managers and analysts certainly increased the confidence I have in the data and working with your team enhanced the whole experience. Data collection, data management and analysis are critical to conducting high quality research. It is with great pleasure that I inform you of the rewarding experience I had working with DM-STAT. Based on your extensive experience and careful attention to detail, I would whole-heartedly recommend your company to any colleague without reservation.
