Armenian Diaspora Survey - Michigan
In 2020 the Armenian Research Center partnered with the Armenian Diaspora Survey (ADS) to conduct a survey with the established and newly forming Armenian communities in Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor and Lansing areas.
Initially planned for Fall 2020, the ADS-Michigan was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Nagorno-Karabakh. The ADS-Michigan resumed in Spring 2022 and was brought to a successful conclusion at the end of July 2022.
The ADS-Michigan was conducted by using the following methods:
- Quantitative questionnaires comprised of 45-50 questions (about 20-30 minutes long)
- Face-to-face confidential interviews with select members of the Armenian community
The ADS questionnaire was available in four languages — English, Eastern Armenian, Western Armenian, and Russian — online and in paper formats. The interviews were conducted in English, Armenian, and Russian based on the respondents’ language abilities and desires.
The initial findings of the ADS in Michigan were presented in two events, hosted by the ARC on November 21, 2023 and April 14, 2024.
