**SHCN=Children with Special Health Care Needs
***Asked only of children ages 2 and older that reported a height (Question 2a of Weight/Height module).
Participants who reported that they guessed at the child's height, they arrived at child's height some other way, or that the child was measured more than six months ago were asked to measure the child and were called back to obtain a corrected height. Participants who derived the child's height from a ruler/yardstick, school, or doctor's office within the past 3 months were NOT called back.
