The Abt Associates Advantage

Founded in 1965 by Dr. Clark Abt, Abt Associates has achieved an international reputation for social science research and business consulting. For over three decades, Abt Associates has kept a sharp focus on providing quantitative analyses grounded in fact-based research to clients in governments, businesses, foundations, and associations worldwide. Our work has helped to solve social and business problems and to guide policy decisions.

One of the largest for-profit government and business consulting and research firms in the country, Abt Associates Inc. has experienced considerable growth and success over the past decade. Our full-time permanent staff of over 1000 includes nationally and internationally recognized experts known for their grasp of their respective disciplines, innovative research techniques, and insightful, and often groundbreaking, analyses and recommendations. In recent years, our annual revenues have exceeded $200 million.

Our headquarters are in Cambridge, MA. Abt Associates also has offices in Bethesda, MD, Durham, NC. These locations provide Abt Associates advantages in terms of access to extraordinary academic research capabilities, particularly in the Boston and Washington DC areas, and ensures that the our staff is readily available to federal clients located in Washington DC. Abt Associates also has more than 20 project offices in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Newly

Independent States.

Abt Associates can offer federal government clients and other eligible organizations a wide range of services in consulting, facilitation, survey services, and privatization support services and documentation through the General Services Administration MOBIS Schedule.

Consulting Services

Business improvement services provided through program audits/evaluations and organizational assessments help our clients decide whether the benefits of a program outweigh the costs. We also helps managers restructure and refine programs to make them more efficient.

We develop performance measures and indicators for monitoring program activities against goals and objectives, (e.g., indicators of quality for Medicare's nursing home program). For our government clients, Abt Associates has been in the forefront of the GPRA reform providing assistance developing and implementing quality and other system process changes.

To meet both short- and long-run objectives, strategic planning is the key to organizational performance. To assist with strategic planning, a consultant must have an intimate understanding of the client organization, its goals and objectives, and its resources and constraints. We have demonstrated repeatedly that we can work closely with clients to help produce a solid strategic agenda. For example, our Public Housing Strategic Consulting practice has led our clients through a

Updated 3/15/2013 5 strategic process to formulate long-term capital plans and to increase the competitiveness of their properties.

Performance measurement systems are central to implementing, monitoring, and modifying the strategic plan. Of course the foundation of a performance measurement system is to determine if organizational resources are being efficiently applied to satisfy the organization’s mission.

Performance measurement systems can be simple or complex. We are especially proud of the role we have played and continue to play in developing a performance measurement system, implemented by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, to monitor the effectiveness of the government’s anti-drug efforts.

Facilitation Services

As part of our work with public agencies, we implement many problem-solving techniques in order to assist our clients in addressing issues relating to the improvement of management, organizational and business delivery issues. We frequently facilitate group meetings of essential stakeholders and/or agency staff. In our Public Housing Strategic Consulting practice, we have routinely been asked to organize and facilitate Community Task Forces. In this politically charged setting, we take an active part in the meetings, helping the group to establish an agenda, identify both common ground and differences of opinion, and find a balance among competing priorities. In other cases, our role has been to facilitate internal decision-making processes.

Our staff is also accomplished at facilitating focus group meetings, where the goal is to stimulate an in-depth discussion of an issue and collect information about participants’ views. In recent years, we have led focus group discussions of groups of mortgage lenders, realtors, landlords, housing counselors, borrowers under HUD’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program, chief financial officers of hospitals, public housing residents, participants in welfare-to-work programs, stakeholders in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, and individuals at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, to name a few.

Our approach to focus group facilitation typically entails videotaping and/or audiotaping the session. Depending on the needs of the client, a verbatim transcription may be prepared. In all cases, a written summary of the proceedings is produced.

In order to facilitate communications within multi-organizational programs, we have assisted in or created Internet web sites for federal agencies. For example, Abt Associates has created a web site for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to facilitate its implementation of a

Performance-based Standard model to the juvenile confinement field. This model faced serious logistical problems of collecting large amounts of data from thirty facilities with widely divergent technical capacities and data storage methods. Abt Associates’ solution was a web-based data collection and reporting tool.

Survey Services

As one of the country's largest social science research firms, Abt Associates has a constant requirement for high-quality survey research work. To meet this need, we have assembled a professional staff who have conducted virtually every type of data collection effort. Abt has numerous surveys underway at any given time. In addition to the core staff of survey professionals, the company also employs a large group of highly trained and experienced, flexible, part-time staff who are available for intensive periods of mailing, telephone interviewing, follow-up, data preparation, and data entry. We can expand our staff as necessary for rapid startup of survey efforts and quick turnaround on survey tasks.

Our general approach for the design and implementation of surveys and other data collection activities is provided by the Total Survey Design or Total Survey Error (TSE) model. In this model, survey error stemming from all possible sources, including sampling error, coverage error, nonresponse error, and measurement error, are evaluated in terms of their respective contributions to overall survey error. This process permits identification of the most cost-effective methods for implementing a specific survey design. Our approach to planning and monitoring data collection projects draws on principles of Total Quality Management.

The Abt Associates statistical group has extensive experience drawing samples of all types, and calculating variances for complex stratified, unequal probability, multi-stage sample designs. Our staff has designed sampling plans for hundreds of studies ranging from simple random samples to the most complex stratified, unequal probability, multi stage sample. They have pioneered sampling techniques through their work on studies such as the National Immunization Survey, where they devised adjustments to weights applied to the survey data to account for the differential characteristics of non-telephone households.

Abt is committed to a process of continuous quality improvement where critical aspects of survey design are routinely monitored against performance standards identified in the survey design.

Performance monitoring occurs at the process level, e.g., aggregate locating rates, case or item response rates, as well as at the level of individual staff, e.g., locators or interviewers. Substandard performance is identified and corrected quickly before it affects the outcome of the survey.

Performance that is above standard may suggest efficiencies that can be applied more generally, resulting in more appropriate resource allocation to improve quality, costs, or timeliness.

Abt Associate’s standard approach to assessing the reliability and validity of data is to produce a validation questionnaire consisting of a subset of easy to recall questions that is administered to a subset of survey respondents. Validation questions may include simple questions from the survey instrument (such as the respondent’s birth date) or questions about the interviewer’s behavior

(such as the location of the interview or whether or not the interviewer used a computer). The purpose of the validation questionnaire is not to challenge the survey responses, but rather to make sure that the interview was conducted in the same manner reported by the interviewer.

Updated 3/15/2013 7

Continuous monitoring of the progress of data collection is essential to the overall success of any study. Detailed progress reports typically include a description of the activities occurring during the reporting period, issues that arose and solutions of those issues, and the activities planned for the ensuing reporting period. As such, these reports enable our clients and Abt to monitor project activities and plan for future tasks. In previous studies with federal agencies, Abt has produced monthly reports that include both tables and text -- both descriptions of tasks and data on the progress of those tasks.
