Description

Historically, surveys typically exclude non-English speaking subjects due to costs of inclusion relative to the bias that would result from excluding a small subpopulation. However, today roughly one in seven persons in the U.S. aged 5 and over spoke a language other than English at home. This session explores issues related to the inclusion of language minorities in survey research.
