Healthcare market research requires a special sensitivity when talking with consumers, especially in qualitative studies, where life issues often reach the core emotions of patients and families. At Vernon Research, we understand the sensitive nature of these issues and have conducted many studies in the healthcare industry. Some of these research studies focused on consumers and their attitudes toward healthcare in general, specific providers or types of services. Some studies investigated health insurance in-depth, while others concentrated on employers, group health benefit plans and topics such as managed care.
