National Household Education Surveys Program of 2005: Nonresponse Bias in the 2005 National Household Education Surveys Program

摘要

NHES, a survey program sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, is designed to study educational issues that cannot be addressed in institutional surveys. The NHES surveys conducted in 2005 were the Early Childhood Program Participation Survey (ECPP-NHES:2005), After-School Programs and Activities Survey (ASPA-NHES:2005), and Adult Education Survey (AE-NHES:2005). ECPP gathered information on the nonparental care arrangements and educational programs of preschool children. ASPA addressed nonparental care and activities during the after-school hours of elementary- and middle school age children. AE addressed participation in formal adult educational activities and informal learning activities done for personal interest.
