Current Surveys and Survey Notification

Black Book periodically invites independent, unsolicited participants to complete surveys and has crowdsourced a panel of more than two million past participants, including members of professional associations and professionals identified through licensed contact-data providers such as Definitive Healthcare, HealthLink Dimensions, and MCH Strategic Data.

Participant information may also be cross-checked through established data and identity-verification services such as Melissa, Experian, and LexisNexis Risk Solutions. To preserve the independence of its research, Black Book does not accept participant lists supplied by the vendors being evaluated, their retained public relations firms, or their consultants.

Each participant must pass a ten-point credibility screen that reviews factors such as IP address, geographic location, professional identity and role, employer or organization, email or domain validity, credentials, device information, number of prior surveys completed, survey date and time, and response consistency and completion behavior. Participants who cannot be authenticated are excluded from the results, flagged in the database, and rejected from future studies.
