Appendix A: Methodology

Study Design

This report discusses findings from the third wave of a longitudinal study of the cohort of Jewish young adults who are the target population of Taglit-Birthright Israel, a program that sends 18-26 year olds on a free ten day educational trip to Israel. This study focuses on the applicants and participants in the first six years of Taglit’s operation. These years were chosen as the focus of this study to ensure that sufficient time would have elapsed since application (and trip experience) for individuals to have formed families and settled into adult communal roles. In addition the applicants to these rounds reflect the diversity of the applicant pool during the life of the program.

The study was designed to achieve its full panel size and composition over the course of three years.

The first wave of the study was conducted in 2009 with a sample of individuals who applied to the program in the years 2001-2004. In 2010, the original sample was contacted again for the second wave of the study. In addition, the original sample was expanded to include a new sample from the cohort of individuals who applied to the program in 2005. In 2012, for the third wave of the study, all members of the original sample and 2005 cohort were contacted again and once more the sample was expanded to include applicants from 2006. The panel achieved in the 3 rd

wave of the study is the panel that will be followed for the remainder of the study. No further expansions of the panel are planned.

Sampling frame

The population for this study is comprised of eligible applicants (both participants and nonparticipants) to Taglit in the winter rounds of 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. The relative size of the total

applicant cohort and percent of the cohort sampled for the current study is detailed in

Table 2 below. The compilation of the sampling frame for this study is explained in detail in Appendix 3

of Saxe et al 2009 ( pp. 10-12).

Sample

Original Sample and 2005 cohort – Previous waves drew samples that were designed to represent participants and nonparticipants during specific years of Taglit’s operation and were stratified to over- or under-represent certain subpopulations (such as older participants) i

. In general, cases were eligible for inclusion in the sample if they had a primary or secondary residence in the United States at the time of most-recent application to the program, had information on date of birth and sex, and had some contact information and were eligible for participation in the program itself ii

.

Cases that were included in samples in previous waves were surveyed again in wave 3, using the same stratification scheme as previous waves of the study. This includes individuals who applied to the program in rounds 2001, 2002, 2003 2004 and 2005. Some individuals sampled in previous waves were subsequently found to be ineligible for the study; these individuals were removed from the sample and their survey data from previous waves was removed. Sample members that refused to participate in any previous waves were not contacted again and automatically designated as nonrespondents.

Shortly after data collection for wave 2 was completed, contact information for both respondents and nonrespondents was reviewed and recorded in a sample database. All verified contact information was kept (including phone numbers and email addresses) and annotated. All other information was archived.

Contact information was then reviewed to determine its quality, and the likelihood of it leading to a successful contact in wave 3.

Cases from these initial five cohorts were then grouped based on their responses to previous surveys and the quality of their contact information. There were 1,785 individuals who had responded to one or more previous surveys (either wave 1 or wave 2). Since good quality contact information of some form existed for these individuals, they were considered as a single group. In addition, since significant demographic information was already known for this group (due to their response to previous surveys) they were administered a separate survey with complex branching logic to ensure they were not asked redundant, or non-applicable questions.

Individuals who had not responded to either survey, or who had only partially completed a previous survey were grouped by the predicted likelihood of contact. 485 individuals had not responded to either previous survey, but a subjective overview of the available contact information for these individuals implied a reasonably “high” probability of contact in wave 3 iii

. In contrast, 205 eligible individuals from the initial five cohorts had not responded to either prior survey and had a relatively “low” probability of

5 contact. An additional 75 cases were determined to have no useable contact information and no potential for subsequent contact. These cases were not surveyed.

2006 Cohort Additional Sample – As in wave 2, an additional sample was drawn from a more recent cohort to supplement the previously drawn samples. The sample for the winter 2006 cohort (n=700) was randomly drawn from the pool of applicants in that year in a similar manner in which the 2005 cohort sample was drawn in wave 2 (See Appendix A in Saxe et al 2010, p3). As in previous years, the sample target values were divided equally between men and women and between those over an under age 30. As with the 2005 sample in wave 2, the sample included 400 nonparticipants and 300 participants. The oversampling of nonparticipants was due to the anticipated lower response rate of nonparticipants; the objective being to obtain roughly equal numbers of participants and nonparticipant respondents. The sample allocation scheme was computed with 100 cases per stratum for participants and 75 cases per stratum for nonparticipants iv

. To reduce the number of ineligible cases discovered after the survey was in the field (see below) all nonparticipants that were sampled were manually checked against the Taglit registration database in an effort to find duplicates that had not been previously detected. In cases where a sampled nonparticipant was found to have actually applied or gone on a later taglit trip, the individual was removed from the sample and a replacement individual was randomly selected in their place.

Ineligible Cases

Ineligible for the program - The study design focuses on eligible applicants (participants and nonparticipants) to the winter rounds of 2001-2006. Initial eligibility to the program (which is recorded in the registration system) is determined by an algorithm that considers the applicant’s answers to a series of questions. Final eligibility is determined later on when individuals are considered for the trip and undergo a personal interview. While the initial eligibility “flag” identifies most applicants correctly, some are discovered to be ineligible for the program later on (usually because they omitted information when completing the registration form or information was recorded in text fields not accounted for in the algorithm). As the number of applicants has always exceeded available slots by a large margin, many applications of those who didn’t go were never considered and their final eligibility was never determined. The underlying assumption on which sample selection was based is that all individuals are only represented once in the registration system and are correctly identified as eligible to the program by the eligibility flag. Because all participants undergo an additional verification of their information their eligibility to the program was not questioned. For nonparticipants, information that was collected during the survey contributed to the disqualification of a significant number of individuals from the study as they should have not been considered eligible for the program. v

In particular, in wave 3 a module designed to collect information on all of the respondent’s trips to Israel proved particularly useful in identifying a number of cases who were ineligible to the program due to prior peer travel to

Israel, but were not identified as such in the registration database.

Out of study time period - There were also cases where an individual was thought to be an eligible nonparticipant but was later found to have been a participant on a later Taglit trip that was not in the scope of the study or had staffed a trip (without participating). Most often this was the result of duplicate entries in the registration database that were not merged together. Although the database

was cleaned in an effort to eliminate duplicate entries, some duplicates remain, specifically where duplicates could not be eliminated by a computerized algorithm.

Deceased – all individuals who passed away either before the study or during the study time period were considered ineligible for the study.

In most cases, individuals who were found to be ineligible for the study for the reasons mentioned above were omitted from all weighting and analyses, even if their survey was complete. However, in a few cases an individual who was sampled as a nonparticipant participated in a Taglit trip between two waves of the study (i.e. in 2010 or 2011) or the sampled individual died sometime after the first wave of the study was administered. In both of these situations the individual is considered eligible when analyzing data collected before the event (death, or participation in Taglit) that caused them to become

ineligible for subsequent waves of the study (see Table 5).

Incentives

As in previous waves respondents were informed that completion of the full survey (either online or over the phone) would earn them a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate. At the end of the instrument respondents were asked to provide an email address to which the gift code could be sent. Respondents were given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving a gift card; 39 out of the 1,990 total respondents (2 percent) did so.

8

Field Operations

The Web survey was designed using an online instrument, created in LimeSurvey (Schmitz, 2009).

vi

However, the survey was administered as a dual-mode telephone and Web survey, with phone interviewers using the online survey instrument to input the respondents’ answers. For respondents who participated in the study in previous waves, web survey was the predominate mode of data

collection. Over 85% of all surveys were collected via the web (see Table 6). Phone interviewers were

instructed to attempt to complete an interview whenever they made contact with a respondent. If necessary, callbacks were scheduled. However, many respondents even when contacted by phone preferred completing the survey online independently and requested that an email containing the unique URL be sent to them.

Data collection began on December 21, 2011. Interviewing ended on April 5, 2012 and the survey was closed on April 27, 2012.

Interviewing was carried out at the Cohen Center by a group of interviewers predominantly comprised of Brandeis University undergraduate and graduate students. All callers attended a training session led by a Cohen Center staff member. A calling supervisor was present at each calling shift and fielded questions and monitored the quality of interviews. Several of the most skilled callers were tasked with attempting refusal conversions. In general, the standard of interviewing was very high. The similar ages of callers and respondents assisted in developing rapport. In view of the characteristics of the target population, it seemed unlikely that professional interviewers would have achieved better results.

In cases where a Russian-speaking parent was reached, interviewers transferred the case to one of several native speakers of Russian on the interviewing staff. In addition, respondents with Russian names were also allocated, where possible, to native Russian-speaking interviewers. Cohen Center staff created a sophisticated Web-accessible interface to manage phone interviewing and updating of contact information. Interviewers used the Web survey to read questions and input items. The Web survey was designed with multimode use in mind, with the aim of minimizing mode effects (Dillman, 2007).

A short four-question survey was used in situations where interviewers reached a parent or other close relative. Even after administering the parent survey, effort was still made to contact the actual respondent to administer the full survey; consequently, some respondents have data for both the parent and full survey.

Contact protocol

Extensive and diverse efforts were made to attempt to contact potential respondents.

As discussed above, prior to the launch of the survey potential respondents were grouped into four groups depending on the quality of their contact information. Contact efforts are listed in the table below:

Survey launch:

The survey was launched in December 21, 2011. Based on past experience the first group contacted was that comprising individuals with poor contact information. In many cases these individuals didn’t have email addresses and the only information available was unverified phone numbers. All these individuals were called and/or sent emails manually through the CMJS survey management system (SMS). All other potential respondents were first sent an email invitation to email addresses in the respondent database followed by 2 email reminders spaced about one week apart. Invitations and reminders explained the study and included a unique link for completing the survey online (see Appendix 4). Reminders were only sent to those who had not completed the survey at that point. Invitations and reminders were worded slightly differently to target previous respondents and those who haven’t previously participated in the study.

Calling:

Two days after the second email reminder was sent, callers attempted to contact all nonrespondents by phone. Callers made every effort to locate potential respondents or any individual who could provide up-to-date contact information using contact data obtained through the registration system and through data enhancement services. If a potential respondent was busy but wished to complete the survey at a different time, or was temporarily unavailable, a callback was scheduled. Respondents were also given the phone number of a Cohen Center researcher who they could call at their convenience to complete the survey. If a caller received additional contact information from a parent, roommate, friend, or other acquaintance of the respondent, that information was updated into the SMS and used for followed up. If a new email address was obtained, the caller sent a customized email with a link to the survey to that address via the SMS interface. If an answering machine was reached, a voicemail was left and if an email addresses was listed on file, a follow-up email was sent as well. Phone numbers were called multiple times over a period of about four months and multiple voice mails were left if the

10 number could potentially be linked to the respondent. Most calling was done between the hours of 7pm and 9:30 pm (Eastern Time), but callers also tried to reach respondents during the day, specifically when respondents were known to live overseas and a time difference needed to be taken into consideration when calling. A series of scripts and scenarios were provided to callers to cover most calling scenarios.

However, callers were advised to use their judgment when they reached a person and make appropriate adjustments to the script. Lack of contact information was a more common issue for nonparticipants than for participants; for nonparticipants, the contact information in the Taglit registration system for early years was significantly inferior to contact information for participants, especially in regards to names or contact information of close relatives, which was often key to obtaining current contact information for respondents.

Searching and additional efforts : If registration data or current data for previous respondents failed to lead to a contact with the respondent, a team of searchers checked online sources for additional contact information for either the respondent or a close relative. This included the subscription-based online data service site Accurint, as well as public white-pages directories such as www.anywho.com

and www.whitepages.com. Searchers also used their own accounts on the social network site www.linkedin.com and a researcher account on Facebook to locate contact information. Searchers also used search engines such as Google to attempt to find any information they could about potential respondent. Sometimes a personal website, wedding announcement, home-business website or page for an event such as a political campaign was located, and any email addresses, phone numbers and physical addresses provided were used to try to contact the respondent or any other individual who might know how to reach them.

Although this was a time-consuming process, all cases where no contact was established due to bad contact information (wrong numbers, bounced or old emails, unidentified VM with no further information) were searched in this way. If new contact information was found, then additional attempts were made to contact the respondent or an individual who might have additional contact information.

In an attempt to reach respondents, the research team experimented with mailing paper letters to potential respondents who had no other contact information available. Mailing addresses were obtained through Accurint and letters were only sent to respondents if the address seemed to match other information obtained through a search. All letters were mailed in envelopes with handwritten addresses. A total of 253 letters were sent, of these, 40 individuals completed the survey.

Refusal conversion: If contact was made with a respondent, but they refused to complete the survey, an attempt at “refusal conversion” was made approximately a month later by specially selected callers.

Conversion attempts were only made to “soft” refusals, where it was felt that there was a reasonable chance of convincing the respondent to complete the survey. “Hard” refusals were not called back.

Final dispositions and Outcome Rates

The overall response rate to the survey was 72.3% (AAPOR RR3). The cooperation rate was 91.8%. Final dispositions and breakdown of response rates by Taglit participation are detailed in Table 7.

Weighting

Design Weights

The design weights for a stratified survey are simply the inverse of the probability of selection:

(3) where is the achieved sample in stratum h and is the population size of stratum h. Thus, each case is assigned a weight equal to the number of elements in the population of the frame it “represents.”

However, as in previous studies, the large number of strata proved problematic, as strata were sometimes represented by a single sampling unit in analyses thereby preventing the calculation of the standard error. In previous waves, strata were collapsed by gender to alleviate this problem and the collapsed strata were again used for individuals from the 2001 to 2005 cohorts. Likewise, the 2006 cohort strata were also collapsed by gender in the same fashion. This resulted in 18 exhaustive and mutually exclusive weighting strata ( ) based on round, age and participant status. Thus design weights ( ) were calculated as:

(4)

One unfortunate side-effect of the decision to collapse strata by gender is that it renders design weights unable to correct for any over or under sampling of gender within rounds. This is not an issue for the

2006 cohort, but in the original sample (from years 2001 to 2004) gender was not balanced within rounds (although it was balanced in the sample overall). Consequently the design weights alone do not produce correct estimates for the proportion male and female within the first four rounds. However the post-stratification raking (discussed below) resolves this issue and produces accurate estimates of gender (and all other stratification variables) for every round.

As in previous years, during the course of data collection it was found that some cases that had been assigned to nonparticipant strata were actually participants. While (as described above) this often led to cases being declared ineligible, in other situations the case remained eligible, but having a participation status contrary to the sampling strata to which it was assigned. Because the goal of design weighting is to compare the achieved sample to the frame population it represents, a new stratum variable was created with the same criteria as the old, but making use of the “updated” participation variable to assign cases to strata. This ensured that cases were given a weight corresponding to the frame subpopulation to which they actually belong.

13

Poststratification Weights

Having defined the design weights, poststratification weights were then calculated in order to adjust for any differences between the distribution of known characteristics of the sample and known characteristics of the frame (which were derived from the Taglit registration database). Post stratification raking forces weighted marginals for respondents on selected variables to equal the appropriate “target” values in the registration database (See p. NN for a more technical description of raking). In addition to the characteristics used in initial stratification (participant status, year of birth, and sex), information on denomination at time of application to the trip was available for the 2003,

2004, 2005 and 2006 rounds and part of the 2002 round. Post stratification weights were calculated separately for each round, for a number of reasons. Firstly, raking each round separately allows for correction of over or under-sampling of males or females in a given round, which was unaddressed by the design weights due to the need to collapse strata by gender. Secondly, since the availability of contact varies by round, each round can be raked only on variables that exist for applicants in that round.

Poststratification weights ( ) were created by raking within each round, where the sum of the weights was set to remain constant.

vii

Unlike design weights, which remain constant within weighting stratum, poststratification weights can vary across cases within weighting stratum. For the 2001 round (weighting strata 1 and 2) raking took place on year of birth and sex (since all 2001 cases were participants, participation status was not included). For the 2002 round (weighting strata 3, 4, 5 and 6) marginal frequencies were raked to population frequencies for year of birth, sex, participation status and denomination at time of trip, where cases with unknown denomination were treated as a separate category. The remaining rounds (2003-06) were raked separately on year of birth, sex, participation status and denomination. These raked weights were the final weights used in all analyses.

14

Raking

Raking, also known as sample balancing and iterative proportional fitting (Deming, 1943), is a procedure that adjusts the marginal frequencies of a survey to the known marginal frequencies of a population. For example, one might have a population divided on sex and handedness (left and right) as follows:

Handed

Compared to the population, right-handers are somewhat underrepresented in the survey while lefthanders are somewhat overrepresented. Initially, all right-handers would receive weights of 0.90/0.85

(c. 1.06), while left-handers would receive weights of (c. 0.67). The resulting adjusted table would then be:

Handed

R

.265

Sex

.635 .900

L

Total

.033 .067 .100

.298 .702

Subsequently, sex would be adjusted to match the desired marginal totals, with males receiving an additional weight of 0.50/0.298 (c. 1.678) and females receiving a weight of 0.5/0.702 (c. 0.712). After this transformation, the weighted frequencies would be:

Further raking would yield additional weights of c. 1.003 for men and 0.971 for women and a marginal frequency of .4998 for men and .5002 for women. Additional iterations could take place until a desired level of precision was reached. (Precision is defined in raking in terms of the sum of the weighted squares of the residuals, the difference between the expected and observed frequency in a cell;

Battaglia, Izrael, Hoaglin, & Frankel, 2004; Deming & Stephan, 1940.) The final weights for each cell are approximately 1.783 for male right-handers, 1.082 for male left-handers, 0.757 for female righthanders and 0.459 for female left-handers.

Calculation of Confidence Intervals

Confidence intervals in tables and figures in this report were calculated at the 95% level using Stata’s

(2011) survey commands set up for a stratified survey (where the strata are defined as the weighting strata) with simple random sampling within strata with a finite population correction. Any reestimation of these survey data that does not take account of the complex survey design will result in incorrect calculation of confidence intervals (in general, the degree of error will be underestimated). Unweighted reanalyses will result in incorrect point estimates and confidence intervals.

Reporting of Findings

Appendix B shows the raw output of all analyses referred to in the report. Many analyses for this report were performed using logistic regression models controlling for factors associated with Taglit participation. For each of these analyses Appendix B includes the regression coefficients for the model and the predicted probabilities derived from the models. In addition a simple weighted cross-tab between the dependent variable in question and Taglit participation is presented after the model. In virtually all cases, the models and cross-tabs produce substantively similar results.

The raw output for all other estimates referred to in the report (but not necessarily displayed in charts) are included in Appendix B in the order in which they appear in the report (a page number referring to the report is included).

Thank you for completing this survey.

250 i

Methodological appendices (here and here) contain in-depth discussion on the sampling and stratification schemes for these cohorts. ii

The criteria for eligibility to the program include: Being 18-26 years old at time of trip, being

Jewish, not having participated in a peer trip to Israel or a study abroad program in Israel, not studying in a Yeshiva, seminary or other Jewish studies program prior to application to Taglit. iii

Each case was evaluated for its contact potential. Potentials describe the likelihood that the research team will be able to reach the person next year. Potential rankings are described below: a. Potential 0 (no potential) = There is no contact information for the case. b. Potential 1 (low potential) = We never reached the individual, but there are unknown numbers that may or may not reach them. c. Potential 2 (medium potential) = We never reached the individual, but we know that we have good information for them or for their parent/spouse/job, etc. d. Potential 3= We reached the individual and they agreed to do the survey, but never did. OR They completed the survey or part of the survey in previous waves. iv

In the two previous waves the sample allocation was produced using AMPL. Since the AMPL procedure failed to lower the size of the design weights compared to the naïve allocation. Thus, the procedure was abandoned in favor of the naïve allocation for the third wave of the study. v Taglit applicants in this study were eligible to participate in the program if they considered themselves to be Jewish, were between 18 and 26 years of age, had not previously gone to

Israel on a “peer educational trip” and were not enrolled in a full-time Jewish studies program. vi Cohen Center staff made some modifications to the source code of Lime Survey before using it for this study (LimeSurvey is open-source software released under the terms of the GNU

General Public License v. 2). These modifications were mainly to allow greater compatibility between Lime Survey and the in-house CATI and bulk-email sending systems. vii Raking was carried out using QBAL (Werner, 2003).

The Maurice and Marilyn Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University is a multi-disciplinary research institute dedicated to the study of American Jewry and religious and cultural identity.

The Steinhardt Social Research Institute, hosted at CMJS, is committed to the development and application of innovative approaches to socio-demographic research for the study of Jewish, religious, and cultural identity.
