NG = Neglect, EA = Emotional abuse, EFV = Exposure to family violence, PA = Physical abuse, SA = Sexual abuse, PAPI = Paper and pencil interview, PAPQ = Paper and pencil self-completed questionnaire, CAPI = Computer assisted personal interview, CATI = Computer assisted telephone interview, CASI = Computer assisted self-interview, PATI = Paper and pencil telephone interview, PI = Personal interview of undetermined type, TI = Telephone interview of undetermined type.
a Unless otherwise noted, response rate is percent of eligible respondents who completed the survey. The conditional RR is presented for the NCS-2 (only those who were in NCS & have not since died are possible respondents.)
b CAPI in some remote regions.
c At the time of this review, data collection was still ongoing, therefore, N and response rate are estimated.
d The CHFLS was administered in 18 provinces: Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Shandong, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian, and Guangdong (http://popcenter.uchicago.edu/data/chfls.shtml).

f One country used a postal survey, all others used interview. Surveys were administered in person except the US (28% telephone) and Australia and Canada (100% telephone).
g Response rate was not available for 7/19 countries.
h Usually 18+.
i Refusal rate reported as 40%.
j Response rate not yet known.

m Calculation based on landline and cell phone distributions (Table 5a and 5b) in Summary Data Quality Report 2011.
n USUMA 2005, 2007, 2008 data collection took place in the context of a personal household visit.
o Beutel et al. report this as the response rate but also describe 65% as the percentage of the sample that could be contacted, which may not be the same as the percentage who completed an interview.
p The overall weighted response rate ranged from 27.5% to 33.6%.
