Sampling Procedures

Random generation of the last two digits of telephone numbers selected on the basis of their area code, telephone exchange (the first three digits of a seven digit telephone number), and bank number (the fourth and fifth digits) ensure equal representation of all (listed and unlisted) residential households. The area code, telephone exchange, and bank number were selected proportionally by county and by telephone exchange within county. There were at least ten attempts to reach each sampled phone number and the person over eighteen with the most recent birthday was asked to participate in the interview.

Notes

WEIGHT1 adjusts for demographic distributions that may be skewed due to phone interview. WEIGHT2 adjusts for the respondent's probability of selection based on the number of adults in the household and the number of phone lines in the household used to receive calls. WEIGHT3 multiplies WEIGHT1 by a factor to yield the true number of cases (5,603).
