HKCS 2013 Data Preparation and Analysis
14
Data processing Surveys are scanned, errors and inconsistencies are edited – Inconsistency edits are similar to CDC’s YRBS Weights are constructed to represent all students in CO public schools (for each of the three frames)
15
Data processing Weights account for sampling design, school and student nonparticipation and nonresponse, and overall adjustments by grade, sex and race/ethnicity Constructed variables are created
16
Response Rates Middle Schools High Schools Alternative Schools School participation rate75.3%79.1%66.7% Student participation rate83.6%73.6%36.3% Overall response rate63.0%58.2%24.2%
17
Analysis State-to-national comparison (HKCS vs. YRBSS) Comparisons within Colorado: – male vs. female – self-identified gay/lesbian, bisexual (GLB) vs. heterosexual – race/ethnicity (presented next by Alyson/CDPHE) Prevalence presented for selected indicators Differences evaluated using Rao-Scott chi-square tests for complex survey design; p-values <1% are significant
