Telephone interviewSampling Procedures
Random digit dialing (RDD) was used to gain a representative sample of noninstitutionalized persons in households with telephones in the state of Nebraska. Persons under 18 years of age, persons in custodial institutions, persons in group living quarters, persons on military reservations, and transient visitors were excluded from this sample.To ensure a random sample of persons rather than households, selection of eligible respondents within a household was based upon a random selection table printed on the label containing the telephone number to be dialed. Each table noted a randomly assigned respondent number for each household size; thus, if a household had three eligible respondents, one-third of the selection tables called for interviewing the first adult, one-third called for interviewing the second adult, and one-third called for interviewing the third adult. However, because the probability of inclusion in the sample is smaller in larger households, a weighting procedure is used to account for this bias.
