Many individuals contributed to this study’s design, data collection and methodology. This survey and the subsequent reports from it would not be possible without Senior Methodologist Ashley Amaya, who designed the survey’s methodology, managed the long fielding period with Westat, and helped with the questionnaire development. The entire project was expertly managed by Luis Noe-Bustamante. Noe-Bustamante also managed a team that carried out the survey’s data processing and included temporary Research Associate Abby Budiman, Research Assistant Carolyne Im, Research Methodologist Arnold Lau and Research Assistant Lauren Mora.
Ruiz and former Research Associate Sunny Shao led the development of the survey questionnaire with help from Amaya, Research Associate Khadijah Edwards, Research Assistant Mohamad Moslimani, Mora and Noe-Bustamante. Senior Demographer Jeffrey Passel provided advice on the demographic analysis. Pew Research Center is also grateful to Westat’s Mike Brick, Ismael Flores Cervantes, Eric Jodts and Hanna Popick for their many contributions to this project.
Director of Race and Ethnicity Research Mark Hugo Lopez provided editorial guidance over the project, including the survey questionnaire, report and related products. The report was number-checked by Im, Mora and Moslimani. The tabulation plan was developed by Im, Mora, Moslimani and Noe-Bustamante with guidance from Panel Manager Dorene Asare-Marfo, Research Methodologist Anna Brown and Associate Panel Manager Dana Popky. Senior Copy Editor David Kent copy edited the report. The report was produced by Digital Producer Shannon Greenwood.
The communications and outreach strategy for the report was led by Communications Manager Hannah Klein, with help from Communications Manager Tanya Arditi and Communications Associates Mimi Cottingham, Gar Meng Leong and Julia O’Hanlon. The charts and illustrations were designed by former Senior Information Graphics Designer Michael Keegan, as well as Budiman, Im, Mora and Noe-Bustamante.
