This panel will delve into the history of survey research of Hispanics in the U.S., from the very early days of Hispanic research, before the term Hispanic was even coined and used widely in survey research to today when Hispanics are often captured in many nationally-representative samples as a subsample of the U.S. population, but are also often targeted as a special hard-to-reach population for research of all types. Participants in the panel will draw from their own experience working in the field of Hispanic survey research explaining their own involvement in different surveys over the years and the challenges they have faced targeting this population and accommodating for its particular characteristics. Some of the main surveys covered by the presenters work will include the very first representative sample of Mexican descent Hispanics 1977; Census Bureau’s decennial census itself; and AAPOR’s 2018 Inclusive Voices awardee the National Survey of Latinos.
