***Asked only of children ages 2 and
older that reported a weight (Question 1a of Weight/Height module).
Participants who reported that they guessed at the child's weight, they
arrived at child's weight some other way, or that the child was weighed
more than six months ago were asked to weigh the child and were called
back to obtain a corrected weight. Participants who derived the child's
weight from a bathroom scale, school, or doctor's office within the
past six months were NOT called back.
