***First asked in 2007, this CHAMP
survey question addresses the validity of adult/parent reporting of
child weight.
For those adults who reported that their child told them his/her
weight, or that they guessed at the child's weight, or th
at the child was
weighed more than six months ago, or that they didn't know the child's
weight, these adults were called back to obtain the corrected weight.
Those adults who derived the child's weight from a bathroom scale,
school, or doctor's office, were NOT called back.
^Use caution in interpreting percentages
with a numerator of less than 20. N = numerator, % = Percentage,
C.I.(95%) = Confidence Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore
cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
