The survey was conducted during the 2000–2001 school year. A stratified random sample of public schools was used to reflect local health department populations. Thirty-seven schools were selected. One classroom each of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades was chosen from each selected school to be screened based on the teacher's name closest to the letter "A." The ASTDD Basic Screening Survey protocol was followed. The screeners were trained using the ASTDD video and manual. Of the 2,395 permission slips distributed, 1,801 (75%) were returned, and 1,551 (65%) were screened. The estimates were not adjusted to account for nonresponse. The data were weighted to account for the survey design.
