There was a lot of talk about the Hispanic vote in the 2020 Presidential election. PSB, as the lead research firm for the 2020 Census Communications Campaign, spent several years researching an array of audiences in the United States. Coming from this experience, members of PSB’s Census team developed a presentation highlighting the history of and distinctions between Latino, Hispanic, Lantinx, etc., the diversity among these groups, and some best practices for conducting research with Hispanic communities.
