Data were collected from September 12, 2013, through December 15, 2014. Black persons and young adults were oversampled; percentages were weighted to represent the U.S. adult and youth populations. The numbers of adult participants with missing data were 29 for sex, 559 for race or ethnic group, 769 for sexual orientation, 208 for education, and 3155 for household income. The numbers of youth participants with missing data were 39 for sex, 261 for race or ethnic group, 305 for education, and 135 for sexual orientation. Except for those with missing data for household income, participants with missing data were not included in the calculation of the weighted percentages. GED denotes general equivalency diploma.
Eleven participants could be classified only as being 18 years of age or older. Two participants could be classified only as being 12 to 17 years of age.
Race and ethnic group were self-reported.
Data are shown for respondents 14 years of age or older.
Weighted percentages include 265 participants who were enrolled in college, enrolled in vocational or technical school, not enrolled in school, attending home school, or attending an ungraded school (weighted percentage, 2.0).
