Abstract:

In Jewish Population Studies (Papers in Jewish Demography, 1973), 47-57. In this paper, the authors discuss a methodological innovation that was introduced into the National Jewish Population Survey in order to improve the reliability of the vital statistics that will be derived from the survey. The innovation represents the first application of a multiplicity design to a national household survey of population change.
