Information on each child is based on responses of the parent or guardian in the household who was most knowledgeable about the sampled child’s health. Information was collected via a computer-assisted telephone interview. For more information on the NSCH, see: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/slaits/nsch.htm
