Darity, Jr. 3 Adaptations As the study progressed, we had to adapt : Sampling methods and screening criteria More use of surname lists More specific ethnic screening Tighter geographic targeting Calling lab management Don’t use all stations at once Better feedback to interviewers Outsource for better time zone and language capabilities Programming New screener logic facilitates changes Production monitoring Change from overlapping counts to mutually exclusive categories New ways to acquire paradata from CATI system Used paradata to manage 30+ studies Racial dot map of DC Lorenz curves for ethnic distribution NASCC is supported by grants from The Ford Foundation and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.

The Study The National Asset Scorecard for Communities of Color [NASCC] is a detailed telephone survey designed to better understand the asset and debt positions of various ethnic and racial groups whose wealth status is often overlooked or inadequately measured. NASCC by the Numbers 448,000 dialing attempts 87,000 numbers dialed 70,000 advance letters 12,000 interviewer hours 31 distinct studies 4.4 interviewer hrs./comp. 39 minutes long 2,746 completions This group was not concentrated enough to target geographically. Selecting these ZIP codes should yield 50% incidence and include 80% of all blacks in DC.  White  Black  Latino  Asian
