In the Fall of 1999, the Administrative Office of the Courts generated, from voter registration and driver’s license lists, a random sample of Kentuckians born before January 1, 1955. Included in the sample were the names and addresses of 2,500 persons aged 45 and older. The University of Kentucky Survey Research Center administered a 17-page, 69-question survey to these 2,500 individuals between February 1 and February 4, 2000. The survey closed on May 12, 2000, with 962 total completions included in the data. Among the responses, 313 were considered ineligible for various reasons, and 1,225 recipients did not answer the survey. The response rate was 44.4 percent (962 divided by 2,187). Table B.1 shows some sample characteristics.
