About this survey
The findings in this report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from July 18 to September 30, 2013, among a sample of 6,010 adults ages 18 and older. Telephone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by landline and cell phone.
Findings for African Americans are based on the 664 respondents who identified themselves as black or African American, and not of Hispanic or Latino background. In the interest of readability, throughout this report African Americans are compared only to whites, and not to other racial or ethnic groups. The Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends Project has collected data recently on technology use among Latinos, which can be found at http://www.pewhispanic.org/.
Additionally, we do not report findings based on geographic location because the number of rural African Americans in this survey (n=75) was too small to report.
