Posted August 11th, 2006 by Lisa Broniszewski in NSFG

This report (PDF), from the NSFG, describes how the sample was designed, shows response rates for various subgroups of men and women, describes how the sample weights were computed to make national estimates possible, shows how missing data were imputed for a limited set of key variables, and describes the proper ways to estimate sampling errors from the NSFG.
