Unfortunately, we had to drop the PhenX family income measure. If the participant does not outright answer their best estimate for total family income, a series of higher or lower questions are asked which relies on poverty threshold information determined by the US Census Bureau. However, the poverty threshold levels contradict the pre-determined series of higher or lower questions such that a family could be making more than $30 K a year but still be under the poverty threshold depending on the number of members living in the household. Thus, we felt this question was subject to error and we decided to revert to the family income question asked in previous waves of our survey. (See attached word document) |

For the Substance use questions, we decided in conjunction with our survey company to alter these questions for administration simplicity, while ultimately still obtaining the answers for the PhenX questions. First, we ask about ANY use of the 10 categories of substances for both lifetime and 30 day frequency. Then, we ask about ILLICIT use for lifetime and 30 day frequency. |
