PATH Study Response Rates across Waves

Wave	Data collection^ab	Weighted response rate (%)
1	Household screener	54.0
	Adult interview	74.0
	Youth interview	78.4
	Shadow youth (parental consent)	80.2
2	Adult interview	83.2
2	Youth interview	87.3
3	Adult interview	78.4
3	Youth interview	83.3

Note.

The Wave 1 interview and parental consent response rates condition on household screener response; the Wave 2 and Wave 3 interview response rates condition on Wave 1 interview response or parental consent for shadow youth participation.

Study participants were counted in the adult or youth follow-up wave response rates based on their participant type (adult or youth) at the time of the respective wave. Age information from previous waves was used to determine the expected participant type at the follow-up wave for nonrespondents.
