Insights Series
The Insights Series provides short, pithy analyses of policy-relevant data collected by LAPOP Lab. The studies are written mainly by LAPOP scholars and students. The series includes four types of reports:
Insights - In-depth analyses reports at the regional level that look at the individual level predictors, both sociodemographic and political, of key survey questions from the AmericasBarometer.
Topical Briefs - Short reports that give survey data insights from the AmericasBarometer related to contemporary sociopolitical events at the regional and country levels.
Methodological Notes - Reports that provide a look “under the hood” of the survey methodologies implemented in the AmericasBarometer project.
Spotlights (Now available!) - Quick snapshots of survey items from the AmericasBarometer across Latin America and Caribbean countries and across time.
These reports are used by journalists, policy makers and scholars world-wide. Subscribe for free here!
