Conducted by the Urban Institute, the Cultural Participation Survey 1998 was the first in a series of surveys evaluating the Community Partnerships for Cultural Participation (CPCP) initiative. In the CPCP initiative, a total of ten community foundations around the country received grants from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund to induce more people to attend arts and cultural events, encourage people who attend to contribute their time and money as well, and attract people who do not usually attend. The Urban Institute was commissioned to evaluate the initiative through surveys of households and organizations in five of these communities.
The Cultural Participation Survey 1998 measured leisure time activities, organizational involvement attendance at arts and culture events, and personal participation in arts and cultural activities by individuals in five geographic areas: the Kansas City metropolitan area; Humboldt County, California; Mayfair (San Jose), California; Milpitas, California; and Gilroy, California. From November 10, 1998 through December 12, 1998, a total of 2,406 computer-aided telephone interviews were conducted across all five geographic areas.
For this survey, ICR/International Communications Research of Media, PA interviewed 2,406 adults in five geographic areas. Single-stage random digit dialing was used to construct a sample for this study. The interviews were conducted by telephone from November 10, 1998 through December 12, 1998. The market areas included in the study were: Humboldt County, California; three Silicon Valley subareas (Gilroy, Milpitas, and Mayfair, a section of San Jose), California; Kansas City, Missouri.
Interviews were conducted during evenings and weekends, and up to 8 attempts were made to reach a prospective respondent. Weekday interviewing hours were 5:30 to 8:30 pm local time. Weekend interviewing hours were 10:00 am to 8:30 pm local time. The average interview length was 20 minutes. Spanish language interviewing was offered when needed. In the Silicon Valley subareas of Gilroy, Milpitas, and Mayfair, 10 percent of all attempted interviews were rescheduled for administration in Spanish. In Kansas City, only 0.2 percent of all interviews were rescheduled in Spanish, and in Humboldt County 0.5 percent were rescheduled in Spanish.
