Making a Difference

See how your surveying work has helped to develop these published works for the betterment of society.

RTI’s NSDUH Study
Based on data collected by RTI and Headway employees in 2014 for the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), results and interpretations from the survey research have been published as of September 2015. This publication could not have happened with your hard work and dedication. Thank you, field interviewers! Take a moment to check out the findings.

North Carolina Seatbelt Study
As some of you know from working on this assignment previously, RTI works with N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety Program each year to study the number of seat belt wearers during a specific time span. This is a great study and Headway is getting ready to start the hiring process for this year’s research. Be sure to keep your eye out for openings!
