Research by The Recovery Village

Surveys conducted by The Recovery Village use an organic, random sample of U.S. Americans collected through Pollfish’s random device engagement (RDE) sampling method. All surveys are double-blind studies with a 95% confidence interval and ±3% margin of error. 

Sample sizes vary depending on the population size being studied, and are calculated using national estimates compiled by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health or another appropriate government source.

Survey questions are developed using recommendations and definitions from government and non-profit sources (e.g. the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism), as well as insights from our addiction experts and medical professionals.
