The Kentucky High School Survey

In February and March of 2000 the Division of Driver Licensing generated a list of randomly selected 16- and 17-year-old Kentuckians, which included 1,500 16-year-olds and 1,500 17-year-olds in the sample. The University of Kentucky Survey Research Center administered the survey. The 4-page, 39-question survey was mailed to these 3,000 individuals June 2-8, 2000. The survey was closed on August 29, 2000, with 1,088 total completions included in the data. Among responses, 85 were considered ineligible, and 1,827 respondents did not answer the survey. The response rate was 37.3 percent (1,088 divided by 2,915). Table A.1 shows some sample characteristics.
