On Aug. 8 at 10 a.m., the U.S. Census Bureau will release the results of the 2010 Census Alternative Questionnaire Experiment (AQE) on race and Hispanic origin at a news conference at George Washington University. The 2010 Census AQE focuses on improving the race and Hispanic origin questions by testing a number of different questionnaire design strategies. This is among the largest quantitative efforts ever done for race and Hispanic origin research, and this important research is part of the Census Bureau's planning for the 2020 Census. Following the news conference, there will be a technical briefing at 1 p.m., which will include other experts in the field. Members of the media are invited to attend.
