5 © 2005 – ICR – Confidential Methodology This study was conducted as part of the ICR HispanicEXCEL and ICR CENTRIS telephone omnibus surveys. Each survey utilized random-digit-dialing (RDD) of U.S households. HispanicEXCEL uses a national disproportionate stratified sampling design using an optimal allocation method of selection. The result is a nationally representative cross- section of Hispanics at an incidence of over double the national incidence of Hispanics. The respondent data for both surveys is weighted to ensure that the sample matches known population demographic characteristics. The weighting procedure employs a number of household characteristics including household member age, education, race/ethnicity, metropolitan status, number of household members and number of telephone lines within the household. When reported, significant differences are at the 95% level of confidence. The ICR HispanicEXCEL survey was conducted from June 14-27, 2005 among 1,001 households. The margin of error is 3.10% at the 95% confidence level. The ICR CENTRIS survey was conducted in June, 2005 among 4,000 households. The margin of error is 1.55% at the 95% confidence level.
