Childrens Panel Overview
Children's Online Research Panels and Insight Communities
Child Research's children's panel community platform capabilities include highly sophisticated online research panel functionalities along with full online community features, social media integration and Web application interface (API) enhancements --on a fully integrated platform. This approach provides the power of extensive quantitative research capacity while enhancing it with the richness of qualitative insights, the intimacy of community interactions and the benefits of Web interchange and interfacing with social media:
-More than an online research panel. More than an insight community.
-Bridged Community™: Linked to Social Media and other databases.
-Open to the power of the Web.
-Powerful data base can be used for extensive segmenting and targeting activities.
-Numerous online communities can be built around a common, integrated structure with cost and administrative efficiencies<br>
-State-of-the art online survey capabilities.
Survey Capabilities
We are one of the most experienced and advanced online youth research and panel management firms--we have state-of-the art capabilities and can include virtually any advanced technique including complex survey logic, skips, rotations, branching patterns, piping prior question responses, use of graphics/flash/streaming video, etc., random attribute presentation, random block rotations of question/concept groups, etc. (we can easily accommodate algebraic logic, comprehensive Boolean skip and branching logic, hidden skip logic, variable piping, etc.). The survey is precisely controlled (random or systematic rotation, error trapping and forced answering, single-response and multiple-response controls, range/mathematical checks, blocks backing up/skipping over questions, etc.).
Survey Reporting Portal
We will provide access to our password protected client reporting portal. Through this client portal, those given access privileges can review quantitative study results. Client can designate who should have access and we will assign rights. Access will be secure, password protected.
Rewards System
If a rewards system is desired, Child Research will provide administration of incentives and rewards for participation in research projects. Child Research will handle rewards system maintenance, credit tracking and banking, and rewards payment processing and disbursement. Incentive amount /co-op costs are not included. Child Research can easily build you a custom rewards system to meet your incentive needs and have done so for many clients over the years.

Additional Technologies
We are constantly reviewing and adopting new technologies into our methods to stay well ahead of the curve—this is particularly important with the fast-paced, dynamic, ever-changing consumer market. Where appropriate for the research objectives, we utilize new technologies in the digital medium-not limited to new market research tools but new technologies that we adapt to market research needs and mixed mode quantitative and qualitative technologies to provide an in-depth, rich understanding:
• Online focus groups
• Remote Usability
• IDI Web-cam Interviews
• Virtual Collaboration & Community Conferencing
• Flash and other special interactive media survey technologies
• Secure streaming video/audio
