Weight

The data contain a weight variable that accounts for probabilities of selection, as well as age, sex, education, and race, using targets from the March 2008 supplement of the Current Population Survey. In addition to these factors, the weighting takes into account the patterns of land and cell phone usage by region from the 2008 Spring estimates provided by Mediamark Research, Inc.
