Approach

Here’s how our survey works

  • All survey participants receive money for participating in the survey—we value your time!
  • Keeping your information confidential is a top priority for us. Each person’s response to this survey is anonymous. All identifying information such as home addresses and telephone numbers are removed from the information.
  • The unidentifiable information from your responses will be combined with other participants from your county. We specifically process all the answers so that no one can directly connect what responses came from which household.
  • 88,000 surveys will be mailed to West Virginia households selected through a randomized process.
  • After the data is collected, we will prepare a full report that will be posted at  WVMATCHsurvey.org. The 2021 MATCH Findings Report is posted at WVMATCHsurvey.org/2021findings. Contact us at WVMATCHsurvey@hsc.wvu.edu with questions on how the survey works!
  • Find answers to frequently asked questions about MATCH.
