Qutoe from article. “The 400 pcr-sons we studied were part of 200 nuclear families, which in turnwere combined into 100 intergenerational families. The personswere all Puerto Rican by birth or parentage, and thcy all lived inNew York City or adjoining areas, but mostly in the borough of theBronx. The families were not selected by methods of probabilitysampling. Instead, we used census tracts of the Bronx which wereat the top and at the bottom of a rank order developed according tothe percentage of Puerto Ricans with a high school education, asreported by the 1970 Census. We visited schools, Catholic and Pen-tecostal churches, spiritualist centers, and Puerto Rican ethnic andcivic organizations, and we approached households in door-to-doorvisits in selected neighborhoods.” (p. 332)
