The "Technical Notes" tab displays links to technical documentation on the measures and methodology used to produce the estimates.

Notes
Data from NHIS-Teen are from survey participants aged 12-17 years who were originally randomly selected as the NHIS Sample Child respondent. NHIS-Teen participants complete a self-administered questionnaire about their own health, whereas a parent or adult who is knowledgeable about and responsible for the health care of the Sample Child completes the NHIS Sample Child Interview. Estimates presented here are based on data from the NHIS-Teen interview with selected sociodemographic characteristics based on data from the parent interview during the NHIS Sample Child interview. Unless otherwise noted, unknowns were not included in the denominators when calculating percentages. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals are calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method adapted for complex surveys by Korn and Graubard.
