PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology, results from 2011 are NOT comparable to previous years.
*** This estimate was suppressed because it did not meet statistical reliability standards; see N.C. CHAMP Technical Notes for more details
1Asked 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 w
as weighed more than 3 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 3 months were NOT called back.
