The San Jose Mercury News/Kaiser Survey Project

About the Partnership:

This survey project is designed to explore social issues that are of special concern to the San Francisco Bay Area, but are also important to the nation as a whole. Representatives from the San Jose Mercury News and Kaiser work together to develop survey questionnaires and analyze results on which a series of articles are based. Kaiser pays for survey related expenses and each organization bears sole responsibility for the work that appears under its name.
