Community Studies

Sponsor	Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles
Principal Investigator	Dr. Pini Herman
Study Dates	May, 1996-April, 1997
Sample	Adult Jewish Households in the Greater Los Angeles Area
Sample Size	2640
Sample Notes	The data were gathered from 2,640 individuals in households with one or more Jewish individuals via a telephone interview survey. It is estimated in the published report that there are 519,151 Jews living in Greater Los Angeles. The sampling universe included Jewish households located in Greater Los Angeles, from Lancaster in the north, to the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the south, from the Pacific Ocean in the west and downtown Los Angeles in the east. The sampling procedure used a dual frame sample of respondents obtained using random digit dialing, or randomly selected names from an unduplicated Federation list.
Study Notes	The data are weighted to compensate for differential sampling by methodology and reflect estimates of the Jewish population and households in Greater Los Angeles. The weights on the dataset are, however, problematic and users should consult the accompanying note for further details.
