Counties were used as sampling units. However, those counties which had fewer than 100 Mexican-American families were excluded. The interviews were conducted during late 1968 and early 1969. A bilingual interview schedule was used. The questions concerned the social and economic adjustments of Mexican-Americans to Michigan's socioeconomic environment, focusing on the urbanization process for farm workers who had migrated to Michigan from the Southwest. Some specific areas covered by the interview were migratory background, geographic ties, voting behavior, employment and income patterns, attitudes toward school, jobs, housing, family life, and outside activities, problems encountered due to current residence, and attitudes toward politics and community participation. A sampling technique called ''controlled selection sampling'' was used [see Goodman Roe and Leslie Kish, ''Controlled Selection - A Technique in Probability Sampling,'' Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 45 (September 1950), pp. 350-372].. }
