In-person, in-home interviews were conducted with a random national sample of 1530 non-institutionalized U.S. adults ages 18 and over, living in the forty-eight contiguous states. The sample is a probability sample down to the block level, after which households and persons within households were selected through an enumeration process. Notably, the Arts & Religion Survey was one of the last surveys that the Gallup Organization conducted using this methodology. Each interview lasted approximately 50 minutes and included more than 300 questions. The data were collected during the spring of 1999.Principal Investigators
