PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology, results from 2011 and 2012 are NOT comparable to results from 2010 and earlier.
***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
was 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.
2Use caution in interpreting cell sizes less than 50. 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.
39th-12th grade includes those in college or other post high school education.
