I would suggest to contact the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. "The heart of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum is its landmark tenement building, home to 7,000people from 20 nations between 1863 and 1935. Visitors to the Museum tour the cramped living spaces and learn about the lives of past residents: a German Jewish family (1870s), an Eastern European Orthodox Jewish family (1918), and an Italian Catholic family (1930s). The Museum also offers a living history program where visitors can "meet" a young Sephardic Turkish immigrant who lived in the building in 1916, a walking tour of the multi-ethnic neighborhood, and various plays, art exhibits, and readings through out the year. Please visit the Museum's website for updated program information."

She also used data collected from 100 adult visitor surveys, visitor interviews, and comments by museum interpreters. She based her study on the Tenement Museum's Confino Family Program. If you are interested I will get in touch with her, and forward your request to her.
