Listening To Black Californians Focus Group Research New Research Offers Black Californians The Opportunity To Receive $150 Share Your Perspectives, Opinions, And Experiences On Issues Affecting The Black Community
In a new statewide study, EVITARUS Public Opinion Research aims to listen to the voices of California’s Black and African American residents—as a part of the firm’s ongoing Listening to Black Californians study.
Beginning in November, EVITARUS will conduct online focus groups among Black and African Americans residents to discuss their perspectives, opinions, and experiences with issues facing the Black community. The results of the research will be used to illuminate the experiences and priorities of Black Californians for policy decision makers throughout California.
Researchers plan to conduct eighteen (18) focus groups for this phase of the research. A limited
number of people will be selected to take part in a focus group, each of which will be comprised of up to six-to-eight people. Those who qualify, and participate in the focus group, will receive a $150.00 honorarium in appreciation of their time and opinions.
Community members who are interested can complete a short survey using the following link to
