Until January 29, we have a trial to NRC Ticker, which describes its content this way:
Ticker is the largest online healthcare survey in the US – polling 270,000 consumers annually in over 250 markets across the country. Each month, we track the healthcare opinions and behaviors of consumers to assist hospital leaders in better understanding Consumer Preference, Advertising Recall, Brand Perception, Quality/Image, Outmigration, and more.
Whether the need is for current or historical information, Ticker is the answer for hospitals looking to validate or optimize their strategy and spend.
Access to this trial will be via the “Trials” tab on the databases page. Login info for the database can be found in Databases Overview page in the Library Services wiki. Remote access is not available for this trial.
Please share any feedback here in the comments or using the online survey form on the Trials tab.
Click on “Data” to get to construct the data set you are interested in.
For the trial, only the state of Nebraska has data but it should give you a good idea of all the different fields available. Their survey is very comprehensive.
Some of the areas that might be of interest here at Baruch – hospital and their brands, how patients decide to go to a hospital, hospital presence online and on social media and consumer response to that social media, what kinds of health plans people who access the hospital have (or don’t have as the case may be), why people are accessing the hospital (this is great for public health research), etc.
