Description: This screening was conducted by the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research under the direction of Carlos H. Arce. Funding was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health. The survey was a pretest conducted for the purpose of identifying people of Mexican descent for interviewing in the more comprehensive Detroit Pretest. The main purpose for conducting the pretest was to develop an appropriate and valid measurement instrument for the Chicano Ethnic Screening Survey and the Chicano Survey. A questionnaire was administered to 474 respondents. The questionnaire elicited information on the ancestry of the respondents from the adult co-heads or single heads of households. The survey identified 128 households with persons of Mexican descent who were then eligible for interviewing for the Detroit pretest.
