Weight

A post-stratification final person weight (FINAL_WGT) is included to make the analyses nationally representative of the non-institutionalized United States working-age population (ages 18-64) by age, sex, race, Hispanic ethnicity, educational attainment, and rural-urban continuum. Educational attainment was not incorporated into the weight for respondents ages 18-24. Because of the rural oversample built into the sampling design, users should apply the weight to all analyses.
