The survey was conducted during the 2002–2003 school year. In Vermont there are 211 elementary schools with at least 20 children in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. An electronic list of the 211 schools was ordered by free/reduced lunch participation and 23 schools were randomly selected. Of these, 22 schools agreed to participate. Of the 1,830 children enrolled in the 22 schools, 1,238 (68%) received a screening. Diagnostic criteria were comparable to ASTDD’s 1999 Basic Screening Survey. The percentage of children in the sample eligible for the free/reduced school lunch program was the same as that in the whole state (31%). The estimates are presented adjusted and unadjusted for nonresponse.
