Decipher and DHM Link for Public Opinion Panels

In the US, research technology specialist Decipher has partnered with public opinion consulting firm DHM Research to develop custom online panels to help public sector organizations, nonprofits, foundations and universities engage with their communities.

Portland, OR-based DHM assists private, public, and nonprofit clients with planning and decision-making through telephone and online surveys, focus groups, large group studies, one-on-one interviews, and public outreach. Its new partner Decipher offers market research tools and technologies as well as custom panels and online communities.

The partners say they aim to recruit thousands of people who would not normally join traditional forums, and provide a platform through which the public can share their opinions on key issues such as growth management, infrastructure investments and budget deficits.
