(and potential reviewers), we are currently working with a professional survey
firm to help supplement our student samples of adults from the four major groups
our studies typically recruits from. At the moment, we are determining the
financial feasibility of adding 200 African American, 200 Asian American, 200
Latino, and 200 non-Hispanic White adults to each omnibus study we undertake.
I’ll keep you posted on the outcome of these negotiations. But I wanted to let
you know that there might be an additional improvement on this front in the
near future.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(34,34,34)"><span></span></span></p>
