Researchers conducted face-to-face interviews with respondents at the respondents' households from Oct. 29 to Nov. 30, 2016. Investigators assured participants of their anonymity.Sampling Procedures
The sample was designed to ensure compatibility between (1) the principal religious groups, according to the INEGI 2010 census (e.g., Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, Biblical non-Evangelicals, and the unaffiliated), (2) Mexican regions that are mapped according to their degree of religious change, and (3) the country's urban/rural populations.The universe of the study consisted of four population groups defined by their religious affiliations. The sample includes 3,000 cases, with a reliability rate of 95 percent and a standard error of +/- 2.5 percent. The sample covered 155 towns in the country's 32 districts (31 states and Mexico City). Stratified random sample with probability proportional to size was used for the sample. Oversampling was used to ensure the representativeness of non-Catholic groups and to generate statistically reliable subsamples for meaningful comparisons.
