1
Design weight is the NHIS sample child weight multiplied by reciprocal of study sample selection probability.
2
Final sample weight is the design weight modified by nonresponse adjustments and post-stratification adjustments to match the NHIS control totals by age group, gender, and race/ethnicity.
3
Cases with missing SDQ score and impact item score values were excluded from this table.
