The document summarizes key findings from a survey of Black and Hispanic Americans on their views related to abortion and reproductive issues. Some of the main findings include:
- Black Americans strongly support President Obama over Mitt Romney for president, while Hispanic Americans are more divided in their support.
- Large majorities of both Black and Hispanic Americans support expanding access to birth control and making it available to teenagers.
- Views on the legality of abortion are complex, with neither group having a clear majority view in support of or opposition to legal abortion. Acceptability depends on circumstances like rape or health risks.

On Friday, March 27, 2015, the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) released the 2015 Millennials, Sexuality, and Reproductive Health Survey. The survey takes an in-depth look at millennials’ views on public policies related to contraception and abortion, sex education, sexual identity and gender roles, relationships and marriage, and sexual assault on college campuses. The landmark survey draws on interviews with more than 2,300 young Americans, ages 18-35, including oversamples of African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian-Pacific Islanders, allowing for a detailed look at the attitudes of millennials of color. Additionally, the survey explores the impact that race and ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation have on these attitudes and behaviors.
A new national survey finds that few Americans believe they will personally be harmed by climate change but that it poses significant risk to people in poorer countries. The PRRI/AAR Religion, Values and Climate Change Survey finds that less than one-quarter (24 percent) of Americans believe that they will be personally harmed a great deal by climate change, while 30 percent say climate change will affect them a moderate amount. Nearly half say climate change will cause them little (23 percent) or no (22 percent) harm. In contrast, a majority (54 percent) of Americans say that people living in poorer developing countries will be harmed a great deal as a result of climate change, while 20 percent say people in developing countries will experience a moderate amount of harm.
The landmark 3,000-person survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute in association with the American Academy of Religion, explores beliefs and concerns about climate change and the impact of religion on those attitudes.

The post-election American Values Survey of nearly 1,400 Americans, conducted in the days immediately following the midterm elections, is a unique panel survey based on re-contact interviews with respondents from the PRRI’s large pre-election American Values Survey.
The survey asks Americans about their ballot choices, their motivations for voting, and what both voters and non-voters see as priorities and challenges for President Obama and Republicans and Democrats in Congress. The survey assesses attitudes about the two political parties, concerns about campaign negativity and voting problems, looks ahead to the 2015 presidential election.
Presentation by Public Religion Research Institute Research Director Daniel Cox at the 2011 American Association of Public Opinion Research annual conference.
Presentation given by Robert P. Jones, CEO of Public Religion Research Institute, at April 12, 2011 'Choosing our Words Carefully' forum hosted by the Center for American Progress. Other participants included: Jim Kolbe, former Republican congressman from Arizona; James Zogby, president of Arab American Institute; Andrea Nill, immigration researcher-blogger at ThinkProgress.Org; and Angela Kelley, vice-president for immigration policy and advocacy at the Center for American Progress.
A new post-election survey finds perceptions of President Obama’s religious beliefs, potential conflicts between those identifying with the Tea Party and white evangelicals, and attitudes about Islam are emerging religious issues that promise to shape the 2012 elections in new ways. The 2010 post-election American Values Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in cooperation with The Brookings Institution.
This paper by Public Religion Research Institute's Dr. Robert P. Jones and Daniel Cox explores two neglected aspects of religion--spirituality as a distinct component and progressive religiosity--and proposes new measurement strategies for examining them. We have two main findings: 1) that spirituality can indeed be isolated as a dimension of religiosity independent of belief and practice; and 2) that identifying a structuralist vs. individualist approach to religious ethics is a promising approach for distinguishing progressive religiosity and avoiding conservative measurement bias inherent in such common measures as religious service attendance.
Results of the 2009 Clergy Voices Survey, the most comprehensive survey of Mainline Protestant clergy ever conducted. The survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
