Bilingual Interviewing
At Datascension, we recognize the need to provide an accurate representation of the audiences we are surveying and are committed to ensuring that our interviewers are able to deliver.
People of Hispanic or Latino descent comprise 12.5% of the US population, according to 2000 US Census figures. Datascension has recognized the importance of surveying this population. Datascension has begun a more concerted effort to target the Hispanic community and garner their input as a separate and unique segment of our society.
To that end, we contract a number of bilingual interviewers who are skilled in conducting research in both Spanish and English.
