Abstract:
|
We use National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data to derive small-area-level direct estimates for every six-month period from January 2007 to June 2009 for wireless-only, wireless-mostly, landline-mostly, and landline-only households for states and several metropolitan areas. Because the NHIS is not designed to produce unbiased state level or metropolitan level direct estimates, we use a small area model with covariates obtained from the American Community Survey (ACS). The model-based estimates are raked so they agree with the national-level direct unbiased estimates for the corresponding six-month periods from the NHIS, and the estimates are also raked so they agree with the complement of the "no phone" estimates obtained from the 2008 ACS. State-level and selected metropolitan-area-level estimates are obtained by appropriately aggregating the model-based small-area-level estimates.
