Supplementary notes

Chronic school absenteeism was categorized based on the survey question: “During the past 12 months, about how many days of school did [Sample Child] miss school because they had an illness, injury, or disability?”

Based on the U.S. Department of Education definition, instances where absences lasted for 15 days or more were classified as chronic school absenteeism. Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population.

Interviews are typically conducted in respondents’ homes, but follow-ups to complete interviews may be conducted over the telephone.
