Abstract (CPANDA): One of two surveys conducted for the Study of Jazz Artists 2001, the Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) survey collected data from 733 jazz musicians in four metropolitan areas -- New York, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Detroit -- on their living and working situations. The study was conducted by the Research Center for Arts and Culture (RCAC) at Columbia University under a cooperative agreement with the National Endowment for the Arts and the San Francisco Study Center.

Study Description -- Methodology

Data Collector: Research Center for Arts and Culture, Teachers College Columbia University

Sampling Procedure:Using Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS), initially selected jazz musicians referred other jazz musicians to the interviewer. The referred jazz musicians, in turn, referred others, and so on, until waves of these referrals and interviews produced statistically sound sample sizes.

Mode of Data Collection: telephone interviews and face-to-face interviews

Type of Research Instrument: structured

Characteristics of Data Collection Situation: A total of 1,200 jazz musicians were interviewed. Interviews ranged from 20 minutes to two hours long.

Cleaning Operations: Due to the small size of the Detroit sample (59 cases), these cases are not included in the data set. For more information about these cases, please contact the Research Center for Arts and Culture (Research Center for Arts and Culture, Teachers College, Columbia University, Box 78, 525 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027).

Estimates of Sampling Error: The confidence level for this survey is 95 percent with a 5 percent margin of error. Figures do not necessarily add up to 100 percent due to multiple answers and don't know/refused.

Methodology (CPANDA) : A peer recruitment sampling strategy, known as respondent-driven sampling (RDS), was employed to locate eligible respondents for the RDS study. Created by Cornell University sociologist Douglas Heckathorn, RDS was developed to overcome the biases traditionally associated with chain-referral sampling. (A detailed description of the theory and mathematical underpinnings of this sampling method may be found in the article, "Finding the beat: Using respondent-driven sampling to study jazz musicians," by Douglas D. Heckathorn and Joan Jeffri [Poetics 28 (2001) 307-329].) In-person interviews were completed with a total of 733 jazz musicians during the spring and summer of 2001 -- 264 in New York, 300 in San Francisco, 110 in New Orleans, and 59 in Detroit.

Notes:
The Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) component was necessary because many jazz musicians do not belong to the American Federation of Musicians union or other institutions that could be used to locate and identify them. In addition, jazz musicians tend to have many social networks with other jazz musicians, making RDS particularly appropriate in tapping this hidden population.

Study Description -- Data Access

Location: Cultural Policy and the Arts National Data Archive

Extent of Collection: 1 datafile and machine-readable documentation

Completeness of Study Stored: CPANDA removed the following variables for confidentiality reasons: c1: name of city; c2: city coordinator; c4: First name; c5: Last name; address: Permanent contact address; city; zip; c7: telephone numnber; c11: Interviewer initials; D2: city born in; D3: state born in; and D4: country born in. The following extraneous variables were removed from the data set: page1 (all values were 1), page2 (all values were 2), page3 (all values were 3), page4 (all values were 4), page5 (all values were 5), page6 (all values were 6), page7 (all values were 7), and page8 (all values were 8). Recodings were also completed by CPANDA, including: Recoded d1 to age (age categories, ex: 18-24, 25-34 etc.) and removed D1. Recoded c12 to c12r: Variable was recoded to a string because the SPSS date format is not compatible with SDA. Also, variable contained dates formatted in such as way as to display as missing data; the transformation process extracted the dates and corrected the formatting issues.
