Latino National Survey (LNS)--New England, 2006

The Latino National Survey (LNS)--New England is the New England
extension of the LATINO NATIONAL SURVEY (LNS), 2006 (ICPSR
20862), which was conducted in 2005-2006. The Latino
National Survey (LNS)--New England contains 1,200 completed interviews
(unweighted) of self-identified Latino/Hispanic residents of the
United States. The questionnaire is the same as that used in the original LNS.
Interviewing began on November 17, 2005, and continued through August
4, 2006. The survey instrument contained approximately 165 distinct
items ranging from demographic descriptions to political attitudes and
policy preferences, as well as a variety of social indicators and
experiences. All interviewers were bilingual, English and
Spanish. Respondents were greeted in both languages and were
immediately offered the opportunity to interview in either
language. Interviewers also provided a consent script that allowed
respondents to opt out of the survey. Demographic variables include
age, ancestry, birthplace, education level, ethnicity, marital status,
military service, number of people in the household, number of
children under the age of 18 living in the household, political party
affiliation, political ideology, religiosity, religious preference,
race, and sex.
