Description The Los Angeles County Social Survey (LACSS) continues the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Studies (LAMAS) and the Southern California Social Surveys (SCSS). A set of core questions focuses on attitudes and views of living in Los Angeles, neighborhoods, public services, and political views. The sample of respondents is a random digit dial sample of all telephone households in Los Angeles County and contains over samples of African American, and Asian American households. The 1998 survey N =694; White=43%; African American =11%; Latino =34%; Asian American =6%. Main topics in 1998 focus on ethnic relations. Respondents were randomly selected to answer a series of questions from one of three ballots concerning immigration and affirmative action; social distance questions varied depending on the respondent's ethnicity. Interviewing used a computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system. The questionnaire was deployed in English or Spanish depending on language spoken by respondent. This study is provided "as is" and questions should be addressed to the Data Archive.
