Count represents sum of all responses to the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) (114,476 respondents, 3 to 17 years), National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (14,287 respondents, 3 to 17 years), National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) (33,678 respondents, 12 to 17 years), and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (8,637 respondents, 12 to 17 years).
For NSCH and NHIS, Federal Poverty Level (FPL) is based on family income and family size using the Census Bureau’s poverty thresholds for the previous calendar year. Imputed income files were used to impute family income when it was not provided, and for NSCH, family size was imputed using other information about the household when the number of family members was not provided. NSDUH only imputes family size when exact counts cannot be determined from the household roster. NHANES uses the US Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines in calculating the FPLs (also known as the family income to poverty ratio) and does not impute missing incomes.
