2015 DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey
Middlesex County Crosstabs
How To Read This Document
These crosstabs present question-by-question weighted estimates from the 2015
DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey, disaggregated by various demographic and
socioeconomic characteristics. Each estimate represents how a group of respondents –
weighted to be representative of the population within the specified geographic area –
answered the question shown. Please use caution in interpreting the information here.
We recommend contacting DataHaven with any questions. DataHaven would be happy
to help you confirm whether the information in this document is being cited in a correct
way, and possibly to recommend or assist you with further analysis that might be most
useful to your work.
In particular, please be aware of “skip patterns” in the survey, such as “Q23E1. (If have
asthma) During the past 30 days, how often have you used a prescription asthma
inhaler during an asthma attack to stop it?” Only adults who indicated in the previous
question that they been diagnosed with asthma were asked to answer this question, so
the estimates here show the percentages of adults with asthma who have used
inhalers, not the percentages of all adults who have used them.
Methodology
The DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey was designed by DataHaven in
consultation with dozens of local, statewide, and national survey research experts and
local partners, in many cases drawing upon questions used in previous community
surveys throughout the region.
On behalf of DataHaven, the Siena College Research Institute (SRI) conducted the
survey of 16,820 residents of the state of Connecticut, and from specific zip codes in
Westchester County in New York State. Surveys were conducted from April 26 through
October 24, 2015. Residents age 18 and older were interviewed from within all 169
towns in Connecticut and seven zip codes in New York. Interviews were conducted in
English and Spanish. The overall Connecticut sample of 16,219 was weighted by age,
gender, reported race, and county to ensure statistical representativeness. In addition
to demographic parameters, the Connecticut statewide sample was also weighted to
match current patterns of telephone status (landline only, cell phone only or both),
based on the state-level estimates from the National Health Interview Survey. Locallevel samples like those for Middlesex County were weighted using the same
parameters but applied at a local level (town instead of county).
Respondents were contacted via landline or cell phone. The design of the landline
sample was conducted so as to ensure the selection of both listed and unlisted
telephone numbers, using random digit dialing (RDD). The cell phone sample was
drawn from a sample of dedicated wireless telephone exchanges from within
Connecticut and the specified zip codes within New York State. Respondents were
screened for residence in the state of Connecticut or one of the seven zip codes in New
York. There were a total of 4,955 respondents who completed the survey on a cell
phone and 11,865 who completed it on a landline. Within Connecticut, 4,817
respondents completed the survey on a cell phone and 11,402 completed it on a
landline. In addition to the traditional RDD samples for landline and cell, we augmented
the sample using a stratified sampling technique. These stratified samples remained
RDD for both landline and cell but used information from the U.S. Census so as to
enhance the composition of the sample, including targeted regions, urban centers, and
high concentrations of minority populations. The primary supplier of the RDD landline
and cell phone samples was Survey Sampling International (SSI) of Shelton, Connecticut.
Additionally, for the cell phone sample we utilized SSI’s Wireless LITe database which
enabled the targeting of cell phone sample by region or zip code, using the area
associated with the billing address. In addition to the ability to target cell phone sample,
utilizing this database allowed the inclusion of non-Connecticut and Westchester
County telephone numbers as someone may have moved and their billing address is in
the area but their cell phone number is not a ‘typical’ Connecticut or Westchester
County telephone number (i.e., not a 203, 860 or 914 area code). Again, all of these
respondents were screened for residence in the qualifying area before continuing.
Reported Margins of Error
Margins of error are shown at the top of the crosstab. The “maximum” margin of error
for the Connecticut sample of 16,219 adults is +/- 1.1% with a 95% confidence interval,
including the design effects resulting from weighting. This means that in 95 out of every
100 samples of the same size and type, the results that we obtain would vary by no
more than plus or minus 1.1 percentage points from the result that we would get if we
could interview every single member of the adult population of Connecticut. This
maximum margin of error applies when an observed percentage is 50%, and the margin
of error becomes smaller as the percentage approaches the extremes of 0% or 100%.
Margins of error are higher for small geographic or population groups. For Middlesex
County, the “maximum” margin of error for the sample of 652 adults is +/- 5.1%.
