Data-Driven Insights to Empower Action

At Springtide, we combine nationally representative research from both quantitative and qualitative sources to bring insights that are truly actionable. We combine decades of expertise in the social sciences and research methodology, along with deep care, understanding, and concern for young people. We are the authority on young people ages 13 to 25: our massive data set features over 20,000 data points and is growing daily. It’s not just data points, however: the insights from our research equip caring adults to care better.
