How it works
How it Works
Sociometrics produces three categories of rigorous behavioral and social science-based products that are useful to a variety of health practitioners and researchers. These products fall into three categories:
-
Evidence Based Programs and Curricula for delivery to students, patients and community members by health educators. Administrators and program managers can choose to implement the evidence-based program(s) that best reflect the norms and standards of their community.
-
Capacity-Building Tools providing science-based resources to enhance the professional development of healthcare professionals.
-
Datasets that support primary and secondary analyses by researchers, professors and their students. The majority of these Data Sets (70%) are unique to Sociometrics and not available from any other source. Their use therefore serves as an excellent way to add relevance and value to our customers' teaching, research, and publications in the social, behavioral and health sciences.
The Evidence-Based Programs have been selected by Scientist Expert Panels on the basis of the evidence of their effectiveness in changing behaviors that put an individual's health at risk. The Datasets have been selected by Scientist Expert Panels on the basis of their scientific merit; substantive utility; and usefulness for research, policy, or practice.
Access to one or more of these products can be obtained in two ways:
-
with an Institutional All-Access Pass to all 400+ products on this website (contact one of our customer specialists at 650-949-3282 or socio@socio.com); or
-
with an individual or group subscription to one or more products (purchase directly on this website as described below)
Our products are now being used by over 2,500 customers serving over 475,000 end-users worldwide. They have been described in many peer-reviewed scientific publications and have earned critical acclaim throughout the social, behavioral, medical, and health science communities. These fast and effective tools allow teachers, researchers and practitioners to affect positive outcomes in healthcare settings, classrooms, and communities.
Institutional All-Access Passes:

Subscriptions: Individual Products
Individuals and groups who work for an organization that does not have an Institutional All-Access Pass can still avail themselves of Sociometrics' research-based products. Sociometrics offers individual Datasets, Evidence Based Programs, and Capacity-Building Tools on a monthly subscription basis. Below is a three-step process that highlights the procedure for finding the appropriate individual products for you and your colleagues:
Step 1) Familiarize yourself with the Sociometric product groups: the Datasets, the Evidence-Based Programs, and the Professional Development Tools. From health education to professional development, to research, we provide key tools to help you carry your important work forward.
Step 2) Once you have chosen the desired product(s), simply complete the purchase online. Individual and group subscription pricing can be found here. If you need assistance with anything, Sociometrics provides trained personnel to assist you in selecting from among the many products we have available that will best suit your needs. You may choose to call our help line (650-949-3282) or send an email to socio@socio.com to reach a member of our staff who is familiar with our products and understands the nature of social sciences teaching and research.
Step 3) Go teach, learn and empower! We strive to provide scientifically rigorous and user friendly products to meet your health education, research, and capacity-building (professional development) needs. We’ve built the bridge between complex and rigorous scientific research and effective curricula. We’ve distilled the content into materials that are easy to use, effective, and affordable so that you don’t have to.

"As a panelist, I have been impressed with the quality of datasets we have reviewed. Several of them I have used personally for prior research projects. Based on their quality, I have recommended the resources to my graduate students and postdoc fellows. As an added bonus, the Sociometrics staff I have worked with have been extremely professional, and organized -- a pleasure to work with."
