| Summary: | This study was designed with the primary objective of
producing a data file that could be used to bridge between the
"single" race distribution in the 1990 Census and other household
surveys and the "one or more races" distribution in Census 2000. The
Census Quality Survey (CQS) was a nationally representative sample of
about 55,000 households. Responding to a mailback questionnaire,
one-half of the sample household respondents were asked to "mark one
race," and during a telephone recontact, these respondents were asked
to "select one or more races." For the other half of the sample
households, the reverse procedure was used. Data from these two
contacts may be used to produce "bridging parameters" to compare race
distributions collected under methodologies that request either one
race or one or more races. In addition, Census 2000 records were
matched to their respective CQS records (with a match success rate of
86 percent). The matched records may also be used to produce bridging
estimates. |
