ORC Macro

ORC Macro International, Inc. is a research, management consulting, and information technology corporation with more than 38 years of experience conducting survey, focus group, and interview research for government, not-for-profit, and corporate clients. ORC Macro has conducted focus groups with organizations such as Federal and State agencies, commercial organizations, and public advocacy groups. They have worked with a variety of participants, including many hard-to-reach populations such as business executives, physicians and nurses, lawyers, and individuals with specific medical conditions. ORC Macro prides itself on careful recruitment of participants, expert moderators, and the provision of special accommodations for participants and language translations. ORC Macro brings similar skill and expertise to interviews. ORC Macro’s interviewers are trained in establishing rapport—discretely probing and prompting without influencing respondent answers. ORC Macro will collect focus group data for two studies (Adolescents and Smoking; Multiple Risk Factor), and they will conduct interviews for the Genetics Study.
