Korean American National Survey
The survey is completely bilingual and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and covers the following areas 1) Demographics, 2) Economic Activity and Employment, 3) Culture and Identity, 4) Family, Health, and Social Welfare, and 5) Religion and Politics. The resulting database of information will be the largest-ever for Korean Americans and will be made available as open source, impacting scholars, community leaders, non-profit agencies as well as U.S. and Korean government agencies trying to better understand and serve Korean Americans.
Please assist us by reaching out to your networks and organizations in distributing and encouraging participation in this survey! We can also provide a special “group code” for organizations/groups/churches etc. anyone who has a large enough membership base that they would like to understand better through a completely confidential comprehensive survey. At the end of the research analysis period, we would be able to provide you with information about your group versus the national norms for Korean-Americans.
To participate in the survey, please go to: www.koreanamericannationalsurve
To encourage participation we have prepared some raffle prizes. One must complete the survey to be eligible and prizes include:
- 2 Free Roundtrip Tickets to Seoul, Korea (1st prize - 1 winner)
- 1 Big Screen Television (2nd prize - 1 winner)
- 1 iPod (3rd prize - 5 winners)
The most easily distributed format will be online – but we are more than happy to provide hard copies to those who request them. Please be reminded that 2nd generation and younger Korean Americans are often underrepresented in these types of studies. We hope that the bilingual online format will make it easy for more of you to participate!!
Thank you again for your assistance and let us know if you have any questions. Please contact us for a group code for your organization, if you’re interested! Below is language about the survey in Korean for those individuals organizations which might be better served “in-language.”
2008년 5월1일자로 론칭이된 “재미한인실태조사” (Korean American National Survey: KANS 2008)는 한달간 집중적으로 미국전역에 있는 한인계를 대상으로 진행됩니다. 캘리포니아, 뉴욕, 워싱톤 디시, 시카고, 달라스 등 한인 인구 분포에 따라 실시되기에 명실상부한 전국조사입니다. 1) 인구 사회적 배경, 2) 경제적 활동 및 고용 형태, 3) 문화 언어 및 정체성, 4) 가정, 건강,사회적 복지, 5) 종교 및 정치로 나누어진 주제 아래 주요 관심사항을 조사하게되었습니다. 광범위하면서도 종합적인 이번 설문조사는 최소한 1만명의 설문응답을 목표로 하고 있어 – 최대 규모의 재미한인 조사가 되며 이에따라 앞으로 정부, 사회, 교육기관에게도 크게 영향을 미치게 됩니다.

혹시 귀하의 단체가 소속회원들의 실태를 기밀성이 완전보장되는 환경에서 파악하기를 원하시다면, 저희가 따로 “그룹지정코드”를 제공할 수 있습니다. 이럴적에는 데이타가 분류되어 분석되며 후에 전체표준과 비교해서 그룹의 실태를 파악할 수 있게됩니다. 이것에 대해서는 따로 연락을 주시기 바랍니다.
감사합니다.

“Having gone to KASCON20 at Princeton three years ago, I can say this conference is really about three E’s:Enlightenment, Engagement, and Empowerment. KASCON provides a unique opportunity for us to learn about, discuss, and respond to a wide range of issues relevant to both the Korean and Korean American populations with not only influential speakers but also our peers. While the conference does provide this invaluable forum, it also gives you the chance to meet hundreds of people from across the nation and have a genuinely awesome experience!”
“I’m really excited to attend KASCON this year. Although I’ve never gone before, I’ve heard from past participants that it’s a really fun, interesting experience. I think it’s cool that there’s a conference that addresses the issues facing young Korean-Americans and that it’s all student-run. I think it’ll be something I can really relate to and will affect the way I think about being a Korean-American.”
