This report has six sections. Section 1 defines statistical terminology used in the report. Section 2 discusses the sample design and selection of the sample. Section 3 describes the weighting and variance estimation. Section 4 discusses the statistical tests used. Section 5 describes the calculation of contact, cooperation, and response rates for the full sample and population subgroups. Section 6 discusses nonresponse bias.
Note: Prior to 2025, OPA research products used the term “gender” to describe men and women. These groups were defined using survey items and/or administrative data categories for “male” and “female”; therefore, references to gender should be understood to mean “sex”.
