STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY - HEALTH PULSE OF AMERICA - JULY 2004
Methodology
The poll was conducted between June 5 and June 27 the Stony Brook University Center for Survey Research. 810 adults were interviewed from across the nation. The poll is based on an RDD nationally representative sample of telephone numbers drawn from blocks with at least one-listed residential number. Up to 7 contact attempts were made at each selected household and individuals were selected at random within households. Findings are weighted using post-stratification weights for age, gender and census region in accordance with 2002 national Census statistics. The margin of error is plus/minus 3.4 percentage points for the entire sample and is slightly higher for non-retired, currently employed and other subsets of respondents discussed in this report. Non-retired respondents include current workers, the unemployed, students and non-retired homemakers.
