Mode: RDD landline and cell phone interviews (cell-only and dual users included).

Weights:

WEIGHT – for combined sample (landline + cell).

LLWEIGHT – for landline sample only.

COWEIGHT – for combined landline sample + cell-only respondents.

Geographic data: From Fall 2008 onward, self-reported ZIP codes were used for geographic coding (region, state, county) due to higher accuracy compared to sample-based geo-information. Original sample-based geographic variables (prefixed with “s”) are retained for archival purposes.

Privacy: Identifiers such as phone numbers, ZIP codes, and county of residence were removed.
