Information Insights conducted research and facilitated development of a health care plan for the Mat-Su Borough. Substantial research was conducted to determine the needs and desires of local residents related to health care access. Data collection involved a telephone survey of 400 residents selected randomly from all residential phone numbers in the area that were not on the do not call list. Survey results were analyzed in SPSS. Twenty-eight community meetings were conducted in each community in the Mat-Su. The meetings were primarily held in conjunction with other community meetings in order to capitalize on interest and turn out. Finally, 40 key informants were interviewed. Those interview responses were coded and entered into Nvivo, a qualitative software analysis tool. The project concluded in March 2006 with adoption of the plan by the Mat-Su Borough Assembly. The Executive Summary of the report can be viewed at:
