Het Onderzoekshuis
We believe in a society where government institutions and social organizations have a deep understanding of their target groups. Gaining insight into why people behave the way they do is essential for viewing social issues from a different perspective and finding effective solutions.
At Het Onderzoekshuis, we combine quantitative and qualitative research as the foundation for addressing these issues. Quantitative data provides direction, while qualitative data offers depth. This combination enables us to develop interventions that closely align with the experiences of the target groups and make a real impact.
From Insight to Action
Our researchers and consultants are attuned to societal needs. Through qualitative research and the application of commercial marketing techniques, we aim to contribute to a safer, more sustainable, healthier and more inclusive society. Research results provide a solid foundation, but on their own, they are not enough to bring about direct behavioral change. That’s why we work closely with our clients to translate research findings into concrete opportunities for policies, programs, interventions and communication strategies.
Research as the Basis for Behavioral Change
Effective behavioral change starts with understanding. We first need to understand why people act the way they do and what their attitudes are towards the issue at hand. Deep insight into the target audience’s experiences is necessary to offer relevant value. Our methodology helps social organizations achieve more effective behavioral change.
Tailored Support
With a practical approach, our research provides directly applicable insights for effective implementation, giving vulnerable groups a voice and contributing to a better future for current and future generations.
