Market Decisions Research

Market Decisions Research is a Portland-based research firm that designs, conducts, and analyzes qualitative and quantitative research for state and local agencies. Each year we administer more than 50-100 research studies on a wide variety of topics from public policy to branding to feasibility. Our assignments range in size from a few thousand dollars to multi-year contracts over a million dollars. We conduct both qualitative research (focus groups and interviews) and quantitative research (online, telephone and paper mailed surveys) using entirely in-house resources. Our research staff specializes in designing and weighting complex samples (dual frame, stratified and oversamples, etc.) and advanced data analysis (cluster analysis, perceptual mapping and regression-based modeling, etc.).
