2023 Clinical Trial Survey

10/13/2023

VIEW SURVEY PRESENTATION  

This online survey was conducted by Zogby Analytics on behalf of Research!America and ACRO in October 2023, among 1,005 adults plus 1,207 additional adults for minority oversampling. Subsets of the data have a larger margin of error than the whole data set. The sample is weighted using complex weighting techniques to best represent the demographics of the population being surveyed. Weighted variables may include age, race, gender, region, party, education, and religion.

For the national sample, this survey has a theoretical sampling error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.* For minority oversampling groups, group sizes are as follows:
African Americans: sample size = 402, margin of error = +/-4.9 percentage points.
Hispanic: sample size = 400, margin of error = +/-4.9 percentage points.
Asian: sample size = 405, margin of error = +/- 4.9 percentage points.
