Summary

The Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Survey (NASIS) aims to survey quality of life in the state of Nebraska, covering topics such as the environment, housing, health, recreation, occupation, education, family life, among others. A set of core questions are repeated each year and additional questions are purchased by those interested in gathering additional data. The 2014 NASIS asks questions about The Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, underage drinking, safety, vaccinations, the Affordable Care Act, and plant management in Nebraska.

The ARDA has added four additional variables to the original data set to enhance the users' experience on our site.

The adult (age 19 or older) in the household with the next birthday after August 1, 2014 was asked to complete the survey. Prior to 2009, the NASIS was administered as a telephone interview.

Sampling Procedures

"The sample for the 2013-2014 NASIS was purchased from Survey Sampling International, LLC (SSI). A total 3,500 cases were provided to BOSR by SSI on August 6, 2015. These addresses were drawn throughout Nebraska with equal probability of selection." (Source: NASIS 2013-2014 Methodology Report - see link above)
