In a new nationwide survey conducted by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation, a complex portrait emerges of black women who feel confident but vulnerable, who have high self-esteem and see physical beauty as important, who find career success more vital to them than marriage. The survey, which includes interviews with more than 800 black women, represents the most extensive exploration of the lives and views of African American women in decades.

Jon Cohen, the project's polling director, and Krissah Thompson, the Post reporter working on the series, discussed the methodology behind this survey. Ask Jon questions about the questions, and what the surveyors learned. Find out how the survey was conducted and why, tell him your opinions, and more.
