Survey Methodology

Survey Methodology

) Random Digit Dialing (RDD) Telephone Survey methodology provides scientific


validity
) Population estimate
) Produces the “purest” random sample
) (203) 389 - ____ ____ ____ ____

) RDD Telephone Survey of 297 Jewish households


) DJN Telephone Survey of 536 Jewish households

) Weighting factors are used to combine the two samples and remove the bias
introduced by DJN sampling

) 30,000 different numbers dialed more than 52,000 times to obtain the 297
Jewish households in the RDD sample

) We did not call cell phones, but only 5.6% of households in CT are cell
phone-only

) 833 interviews is a large sample size


6
Survey Methodology

) 83% cooperation rate on "screener"


) 94% cooperation rate of known Jewish households on survey
) ±3.4% margin of error at the 95% confidence level for overall results
) Interviews averaged about 20 minutes each
) Interviews conducted in May 2010

Definitions

Philosophy for Examining Data

) Please keep an open mind

) Some findings will fit your perception of reality

) Some findings will not fit your perception of reality

) Be prepared to change your perceptions

) Just because everyone has been saying something for


years does not mean it is so

) While this information is important, other factors in addition


to demographics need to be considered in all decisions
9
Resources Available to the Community

) Main Report (1,000+ pages)

) Summary Report (150+ pages)

) 880 Slides

) Posted at www.jewishnewhaven.org and


www.jewishdatabank.org

) Today is just one opportunity to see the results and begin


studying them. We will go rather quickly because our goal
is not to have you leave with all the major results
memorized, but rather to introduce you to some of the
depth and breadth of what we have done.
