Your data at your fingertips


The Data Management Unit (DMU) was established in 2003 to help members of the Douglas Institute's Research Centre conduct and manage surveys and investigations.

The DMU provides the following services:

  • Online survey questionnaires and assessment instruments formatting

The DMU may also help with:

How it works

Contact us for an appointment. The first meeting will allow us to:

  1. Analyze your needs
  2. Choose a format for data collection

Following this meeting, the DMU will be able to:

  1. Produce a questionnaire in the required format
  2. Post the questionnaire online (or on paper)
  3. Save the data in the format of your choice
  4. Send you the data file

The DMU ensures that all data collected is kept confidential. The DMU does not offer data processing.
