Before administering the interview, households were screened to determine eligibility. In households with children, up to two children were selected at random, one under age 6 and one between the ages of 6 and 17.
Information about the children and the household was obtained from the adult in the household who was most knowledgeable about the health care and education of the children on whom the survey questions focused. In some households with children, adults under age 65 who had no children were also surveyed. In households without children, one or two nonelderly adults were selected randomly for interviewing.
Data were collected from February to November using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) technology. The sample consists of households with and without telephones. In households without telephones, cellular phones were provided to complete interviews.
