description: FM3 and NBS conducted a statewide survey of 1,883 Missouri
adults, including 1,670 in the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) service area
and 213 in other areas of the state. The research included oversamples reaching
214 Latinos and 127 Asian and Pacific Islanders, and data was weighted back to
its true proportion based on Census data. <br>

<br>The research was preceded by qualitative research, including
focus groups and online discussion boards, and was informed by these phases. <br>

<br>The main subject areas explored were Missourians’ view of
life in the state, views of their individual communities and experiences with
belonging, evaluations of factors that make a community healthy, perspectives
on community involvement, experiences with the economy and financial
well-being, and experiences with healthcare and views on health equity.

description: To construct our sample, FM3 randomly selected addresses
from a list of all residential addresses in Missouri. FM3 then matched the
addresses in the sample against public and commercial databases to acquire
residents’ email and telephone contact information. After deduping, the
probability sample constructed to represent the universe consisted of 418,222
records. FM3 set demographic and geographic quotas based on the research
specifications and using Census data.

<br><br>FM3 planned to reach 1,300 residents of the MFH service
area, 200 outside the service area, and to conduct oversamples of at least 100
Latino residents and 100 AAPI residents in the service area. The team reached
1,670 residents in the MFH service area, 213 in the balance of the state, 214
