About this table

Description	US adults (Bovitz, September 2022) chose between two refugee profiles described by 7 attributes (reason for leaving incl. climate-caused disaster or poverty, origin, children, English skills, gender, age, religion). 1,117 respondents, 5 paired tasks; two forced choices per task: who should receive the visa and who would integrate more successfully.
