Abstract The U.S. Census Bureau, in collaboration with a primary contractor and 14 subcontractors, created hundreds of advertisements in 28 different languages as part of the 2010 Census Integrated Communications Campaign. This effort was part of the Census Bureau’s integrated approach to communications activities for the 2010 Census, combining advertising, partnerships, public relations, Census in Schools, Road Tour, and digital media with the Census Bureau’s internal operations. The Census 2010 Publicity Office (C2PO) conducted a series of qualitative, quantitative, attitudinal, and behavioral research initiatives to serve as a foundation for the 2010 Census PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Integrated Communications Program. Research results informed and validated marketing decisions throughout the entire campaign. C2PO researched all elements of the campaign across audiences to ensure that the messaging resonated with the targeted communities. The Census Barriers, Attitudes, and Motivators Survey (CBAMS), formerly known as the Census Participation Survey, was a cornerstone research effort for developing messages that would resonate and motivate participation. CBAMS included over 4,000 in-depth interviews: about 3,000 by phone and another 1,000 in person to ensure coverage in areas that were linguistically, culturally or geographically hard-to-reach as well as areas without phone service (one of the ‘‘hard-to-count’’ factors). The CBAMS sample was probabilistic so that it would be representative of the nation, with oversamples in hard-to-count populations; data collection for CBAMS occurred in July and August 2008. This survey measured previous Census participation, attitudes towards the Census, knowledge of the purpose of the Census, potential motivators and barriers to Census participation, reactions to potential messages, media consumption, and demographic information. Analysis of CBAMS data enhanced the cluster segmentation by providing much needed, up-to-date insight into how the target audiences feel about the Census, and why they may or may not participate, to help us develop appropriate messages to address these mindsets. CBAMS revealed five distinct mindsets among the population that varied in their knowledge of and attitudes toward the Census: Leading Edge, Head Nodders, Insulated, Unacquainted, and Cynical Fifth. While there are different cultural contexts that emerged, these mindsets exist throughout the population, regardless of race or ethnicity. CBAMS II will first replicate, to the extent practicable, the first CBAMS to determine the extent to which mindsets about the Census have changed over time. However, CBAMS II will also be expanded to investigate why nonresponders did not mail back their Census forms and to collect additional information to gain further insights into particular mindsets, such as the Cynical E:\FR\FM\29DEN1.SGM 29DEN1
