Community Data
Community Development Data, Information and Analysis Lab (CD-DIAL)
CD-DIAL works with communities, organizations, and state and local agencies to assist and build decision-making capacity in these groups, especially as they collect and use information about their local population members or the constituents they serve.
CD-DIAL conducts surveys by mail, online and telephone. We work with stakeholders from conceptualizing the survey (i.e. questionnaire development, sampling, etc.) up to report writing and presentation of the results. The team gathers and analyzes the data, writes the report, and presents the results as requested by the client.
