Abstract (CPANDA): The 1997 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), sponsored by the Research Division of the National Endowment for the Arts, provides information about Americans' participation in the arts, including ballet, opera, plays, museums, and concerts. Respondents were asked questions concerning (a) their attendance at live arts events, (b) their participation in the arts through broadcast and recorded media, and (c) their personal performance or creation of art. Additional questions were asked concerning the amount of exposure respondents received to the arts as children or in classes, barriers to greater participation in the arts, and music preferences. New questions asked in the 1997 SPPA include the extent to which home computers were used in learning about arts events and whether respondents subscribed to performance series or were members of art museums.

Study Description -- Methodology

Data Collector: Westat, Inc.

Mode of Data Collection: telephone interviews

Type of Research Instrument: structured

Characteristics of Data Collection Situation: There were 12,349 respondents. The duration of each interview ranged from 13 to 15 minutes.

Actions to Minimize Losses: The field test in April 1997 suggested that there might be response rate difficulties for the main data collection effort. Therefore, advance letters were sent to the households for which mailing addresses could be obtained. The response rate to the household screening interview was higher for those sent letters than for other households. Many of the screening telephone calls were not answered or were answered by a machine. These households were called again many times. The vast majority of numbers that were abandoned had been called at least 13 times over a period of several weeks. Some households that answered refused to be interviewed. Letters were sent by Federal Express to encourage these households to cooperate. Reasons for not completing the screening included failure ever to reach an answering person, language or illness difficulties, and outright refusal to participate.

Weighting: Weights were developed for the data. The weights took into account the probabilities (a) of each telephone number's being selected from the 100-banks in defined geographic area, (b) of households being sampled through one or more-than-one residential telephone number, and (c) of adults being selected within their households. The weights were adjusted for survey nonresponse to help reduce potential nonresponse bias in the survey estimates. The weights were also calibrated to population totals from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey.

Response Rate: The overall response rate was 55%.

Methodology (CPANDA) : Telephone interviews were conducted with a random national sample of 12,349 U.S. adults ages 18 and over. Data were collected by Westat Corporation from June through October 1997. Households were sampled from randomly selected telephone numbers using list-assisted random digit dialing (RDD). The individual interviewed within each household was the adult with the most recent birthday. The survey had an overall response rate of 55 percent. The 1997 survey employed 8 question modules to allow a great number of questions to be asked, even though the number of respondents to particular sets of questions would be too small for detailed analyses. The sample for each module ranged from about 900 to 12,000 responses. All sub-samples received the modules containing questions about participation in live events and questions about personal background. Unlike previous waves of the SPPA, the 1997 SPPA was conducted as a nationwide, stand-alone survey. Previous SPPAs (1982, 1985, 1992) had been supplements to the National Crime Survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census. Although many of the questions in the 1997 survey were exactly the same as those asked in previous SPPAs, the differences in methodologies make the 1997 results difficult to compare with those of the earlier surveys.
