This survey was designed in partnership with Latino immigrant leaders working with El Centro to advance the general public’s understanding of immigrant concerns and enhance leaders’ ability to respond to community needs. The sample involved 957 Latino immigrant adults living in the urban cores of Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri and outlying suburban areas. The sampling technique was nonrandom, employing convenience, snowball, and strategic sampling strategies. The survey was completely anonymous, and most respondents completed it in Spanish.
