Greater El Paso Jewish Community Demographic Survey

You are being asked to voluntarily take part in the “Greater El Paso Jewish Community Demographic Study” which aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the size and character of the local Jewish population, and provide valid data about the Greater El Paso Jewish community that can be used by communal organizations and their leadership to design programs and services that support and enhance Jewish life. By taking this survey, you will provide valuable insights on the Jewish community, religious practices, Jewish life, Jewish identity, community and individual concerns, as well as challenges the community faces in the Greater El Paso region. This study is funded by the Aaron & Sylvia Wechter Family Fund at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) through the El Paso Jewish Community Foundation.

Your answers will be kept confidential and only reported in aggregate form. Risks for taking part in this survey are minimal. All data will be held securely on a password protected file on password protected  computers. In addition, your individual answers will be aggregated with other participants' answers for reports.

Participation in the study is voluntary; therefore, you have the option to not complete the survey, or to not answer specific questions. If you have questions/concerns about the study please contact the primary investigator, Dr. Danielle Morales (xdeng2@utep.edu) or the research assistant, Ms. Karla Martinez (kmartinez13@miners.utep.edu). If you have limited access to technology, you can also contact us (915-747-8471) to fill out the survey via telephone or to make other arrangements. If you have questions or concerns about your rights as a survey participant, you may call Institutional Review Board at UTEP (915-747-8841). The survey will remain active until November 30, 2020.
