Collection Procedures

The target population is the Texas household population age 18 and older. All surveys were collected over the telephone using a CATI system administered by the Office of Survey Research at the University of Texas at Austin.

Sampling Procedures

The random-digit-dialing sample was generated by Survey Sampling, Inc. (SSI) of Fairfield, Connecticut. To create this sample, SSI first identified working telephone exchanges throughout the state of Texas then generated telephone numbers through four-digit randomization. SSI then modified the list to eliminate those that were known nonresidential numbers. The household-level cooperation rate is 37 percent, and the respondent-level cooperation rate is 89 percent.
