ASSESSING THE NEW FEDERALISM
Assessing the New Federalism is a multiyear Urban Institute project designed to analyze
the devolution of responsibility for social programs from the federal government to the
states. It focuses primarily on health care, income security, social services, child care,
and child welfare. Researchers monitor program changes, changes in the well-being of
families, and fiscal trends. The project provides timely, nonpartisan information to
inform public debate and to help state and local stakeholders carry out their new
responsibilities more effectively.
Key components of the project include a household survey, studies of policies in 13
states, and a database of welfare rules covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Publications and data are available free of charge on the Urban Institute’s web site at
http://www.urban.org.
This report is funded by the United Hospital Fund. The Assessing the New Federalism
project operates under grants from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, The John D. and Catherine T.
MacArthur Foundation, and The Ford Foundation.
The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics
worthy of consideration. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be

INTRODUCTION AND LIST OF TABLES
Introduction
The State Profile of New York presents a detailed series of tables on economic security,
child well-being, child care, and health care. The tables compare New York with the
nation as a whole on all of these measures. The tables are based on the 2002 National
Survey of America’s Families.
Each table follows a similar format. The top (or left) panel presents data for New York
while the bottom (or right) panel presents data for the nation as a whole. In most tables,
the data presented are the number of people who fall into the stated category, the percent
of people in that category, and the standard error of the percent. Definitions and notes for
all tables appear after Table 41.
Estimates from the NSAF, like those from all surveys, are subject to various types of
error. Sampling error is the most common limitation reported in survey results.
Evaluating statistical precision based solely upon sampling error may be misleading.
Measurement error, error due to undercoverage, and non-response bias may introduce
equally large sources of error.
National Survey of America’s Families
The National Survey of America’s Families (NSAF) is one of only a few surveys to
provide reliable estimates on measures of child and family well-being for selected states
as well as for the nation as a whole. The survey oversamples low-income families (those
with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty threshold). The large low-income
sample also generates large samples of racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, and
people participating in government programs.
The Urban Institute’s Assessing the New Federalism project fielded NSAF in 1997, 1999,
and 2002. For each round, the survey provided information on over 100,000 non-elderly
persons (about 70,000 non-elderly adults and 35,000 children).
Along with a large, nationally-representative sample for the nation, NSAF has large,
state-representative samples for 13 states (Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Texas,
Washington, and Wisconsin). Together, these states are home to more than half the
nation’s population. They also represent a broad range of fiscal capacity, political
traditions, and approaches to government programs.
NSAF Topics
The NSAF examines a broad range of issues related to family well-being.
•
•
•
•
Economic security includes income, employment, earnings, participation in
education and training programs, participation in welfare programs, child support
receipt and payment, food security, and housing and economic hardship.
Health and health care includes health insurance coverage, health care use and
access, health status and activity limitations, and reasons for not participating in
public programs.
Child well-being includes educational and cognitive stimulation, behavior
problems, child care arrangements, school engagement, and social and other
development activities.
Family environment includes family structure and household composition, contact
with non-custodial parents, parent psychological well-being, parent stress, and
parent volunteer and religious activity.
NSAF can generate state-level estimates of child, nonelderly adult, and family well-being
indicators. NSAF data enable researchers to make comparisons across states at a given
point in time. Multiple rounds of the survey permit analysis of change within a state over
time and across states over time. In addition, researchers can use NSAF data to produce
point-in-time and change-over-time estimates at the national level.
NSAF Methods
Extensive information about the survey, including the design features, response rates,
weighting procedures, and treatment of nonresponse, is available in a series of online
methodology reports at http://anf.urban.org/nsaf/.
Sampling. The primary sampling method for the NSAF was a random selection of
telephone numbers. In households without telephones, cellular phones were provided to
complete interviews. Before administering the interview, households were screened to
determine eligibility. Households composed only of adults age 65 and over were not
included in the survey. In households with children, up to two children were randomly
selected, one under 6 years old and one between the ages of 6 and 17. Information about
the children and the household was obtained from the adult who knew the most about the
children. In 95 percent of the cases, this was a biological, adoptive, or stepparent. If the
household included childless adults, one or two of these were randomly chosen to be
interviewed. In households without children, one or two nonelderly adults were selected
randomly for interviewing.
Estimation. NSAF sampling weights are used to provide unbiased aggregate estimates
for each state and for the country as a whole. The weights were applied to all survey
items in an effort to: (1) compensate for differential probabilities of selection for
households and persons; (2) reduce biases occurring where nonrespondents have different
characteristics than respondents; (3) adjust, to the extent possible, for undercoverage in
the sampling frames and in the conduct of the survey; and (4) reduce the variance of the
estimates by using auxiliary information. Control totals were based on the 2000 Census
estimates at the national and state levels by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.
For most questions the item nonresponse rates were very low, often less than 1 percent.
As is the case with any household survey containing questions about sensitive
information (such as income), the NSAF occasionally encountered significant levels of
item nonresponse. In particular, nonresponse rates for items related to income were
around 20 percent—consistent with item nonresponse rates in other surveys such as the
Annual Demographic (March) Supplement to the Current Population Survey.
For NSAF data in general, nearly all questions on employment, earnings, and family
income were imputed when missing, as were selected items from the sections on health
care coverage and health care use and access. In most cases, the imputation for a
particular survey item was carried out by assigning the value of that item from a
randomly drawn respondent case to a nonrespondent case that had similar values on other
variables thought to be related to the missing item of interest.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
All Tables
Adults. Adults are age 18-64.
Children. Children are age 0-17.
Community Type. Based on those for whom geographic location is known (county-level
information is not available for residents of Alaska). MSAs are Metropolitan Statistical
Areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and as used by the U.S.
Census Bureau (see http://www.census.gov/population/www/estimates/aboutmetro.html).
Family Employment Status. Family employment status is a hierarchy. Families with at
least one full-time worker are classified as “full-time worker” families. Families with no
full-time workers but one or more part-time workers are classified as “part-time
worker(s) only” families, and those with no full-time or part-time workers in the family
are classified as “no workers” families. Individuals who work fewer than 35 hours per
week are considered part-time workers, and those who work 35 or more hours per week
are considered full-time workers.
Family Income. Family income is the combined income of all family members in the
previous year (2001) expressed as a percentage of the federal poverty threshold (FPT).
Such statistics use the official Census Bureau poverty definition, which compares a
family’s pretax cash income to a threshold that varies by family size.
Family Structure (Married/Single, With/Without Children). Family structure of adults is
defined in terms of marital status and presence of children. “Married” adults are defined
as those who report being married or have a spouse in the household. Those adults who
are widowed, divorced, separated, or never married, or whose marital status was not
ascertained but who did not report having a spouse in the household are classified as
“single.” Adults “with children” have at least one biological, adoptive, or stepchild under
age 18 living in the household at the time of the survey; all other adults are classified as
“without children.”
Family Structure (Marital Status). Family structure of children is defined in terms of the
adults with whom they live. The category “Children in Married Couple Households”
includes children living with a married couple. The category “Children in Unmarried
Households” includes children living with an unmarried couple or a single adult.
Family Structure (Parental Status). Family structure of children is defined in terms of
their relationship with the adults with whom they live. The category “no parents” means
that the child lives with relatives other than parents or with unrelated adults. Children
classified as living in “one-parent families” live with a single biological or adoptive
parent (the household may contain this parent’s unmarried partner). Children living with
two biological or adoptive parents (married or unmarried) or one biological or adoptive
parent and one stepparent (parents must be married) are classified as living in “twoparent families.” Approximately 0.1% of sampled children were classified as “not
ascertained” due to undetermined living arrangements.
Full-Time Work/er(s). Families with at least one member who works 35 or more hours
per week are considered full-time worker families.
Low-Income.
threshold.
Low-income is defined as below 200 percent of the federal poverty
Nonelderly. All individuals under the age of 65.
Part-Time Work/er(s). Families with no members who work 35 or more hours per week,
but with at least one member who works fewer than 35 hours per week, are considered
part-time worker families.
Race/Ethnicity. The interviewer asks the most knowledgeable adult in the family to
identify race and ethnicity for himself or herself and for each sampled family member.
Respondents were first asked about ethnicity (“[Are you/Is family member] of Spanish or
Hispanic origin?”), and then about race (“What is [your/family member’s] race?”). The
survey used two categories for ethnicity (Hispanic and non-Hispanic) and four categories
for race (white, black, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and Asian or Pacific
Islander). Values for respondents who chose not to answer the question or who gave an
answer that did not fit into one of these categories were imputed.
Tables 1-10
Children’s Living Arrangement (Marital/Parental Status). The living arrangement of
children is defined in terms of their relationship with the adults with whom they live.
The category “married parents” means that the child lives with at least one biological or
adoptive parent who is married. Children classified as living with “cohabiting parents”
live with at least one biological or adoptive parent who is cohabiting. Children living
with one biological or adoptive parent who is not married or cohabiting are classified as
living with an “other unmarried parent”. Children not living with any biological or
adoptive parents are classified as living with “no parent”.
Education. A measure of the highest level of education completed. Missing responses
(due to “don’t know” or “refuse to answer”) were not imputed.
One or More Food-Related Problems. To measure food hardship, respondents were
asked whether, during the previous 12 months, one or more adults ate less or skipped
meals because there was not enough money for food, the food the family bought ran out,
or any family member worried that food would run out before the family got money to
buy more.
Trouble Paying Rent or Utilities. Respondents were asked whether they had problems
paying mortgage, rent, or utility bills during the previous 12 months.
Used Emergency Food Services. The survey asked families whether they had gotten
emergency food from a church, food pantry, or food bank during the past 12 months.
This question was asked of families with income below 200% of the federal poverty
threshold only.
Tables 11-13
Children with Parent Reporting Symptoms of Poor Mental Health. The questions
included in the mental health scale asked parents how much of the time in the past month
they had been very nervous, felt calm and peaceful, felt downhearted and blue, been
happy, and felt so down in the dumps that nothing could cheer them up.
Children with Parent who is Highly Aggravated. Parental aggravation was ascertained in
NSAF by parents’ reports of how frequently they felt that their child was particularly
hard to care fore, that they gave up more of their lives to meet their child’s needs than
they had expected, that their child bothered them a lot, and that they were angry with
their child.
Expelled/Suspended. Expulsion or suspension from school in the past year.
High Level of Behavioral and Emotional Problems. A measure of behavioral and
emotional problems was derived from a series of questions in which all parents were
asked to report the extent to which, in the past month, their children did not get along
with other kids, could not concentrate or pay attention for long, or were unhappy, sad, or
depressed. Parents of 6- to 11-year-olds were also asked how often during the past month
their children felt worthless or inferior; were nervous, high-strung, or tense; or acted too
young for their age. Likewise, parents of 12- to 17-year olds were additionally asked
how often during the past month their children had trouble sleeping, lied or cheated, or
did poorly at schoolwork.
High Level of Engagement in School. A general measure of school engagement, was
derived from four questions in which parents were asked about the extent to which their
children did schoolwork only when forced to, did just enough schoolwork to get by,
always did homework, and cared about doing well in school.
Participated in Extracurricular Activities. Participation in extracurricular activities was
assessed on the basis of parents’ responses to questions about children’s involvement in
lessons, clubs, sports, or other activities.
Skipped School. Skipping school once or more in the past year.
Tables 14-19
Babysitter/Nanny. Babysitter or nanny is care by a non-relative in the child’s home.
Before- and After-School. Before- and after-school programs are only for children age 6
and older. These are programs designed to care for children before school starts or after
school is over. These programs can also be located within schools, community centers,
and youth development agencies. The survey did not specifically ask about sports,
lessons, or other recreational activities that may sometimes be used as childcare
arrangements by parents.
Center-Based Care. Center-based childcare is only for age 4 and under. It includes care
in childcare centers, Head Start, preschool, pre-kindergarten, and before- and after-school
programs.
Children Under 5. This analysis focuses only on children under 5 whose mothers are
employed and were interviewed during the non-summer months. In addition, the survey
asks respondents only about regular child care arrangements. Respondents using a
complicated array of arrangements that would not qualify as “regular” would not be
identified in this study as using a childcare arrangement.
Employed Mothers. For randomly selected children in the sample households, interviews
were conducted with the person most knowledgeable about each child. Because the
mother was the “most knowledgeable adult” for a majority of the children in the national
sample, the term “mother” is used here to refer to this respondent.
Family Child Care. Family childcare is care by a non-relative in the provider’s home.
Non-parental Care. NSAF questions focused on non-parental arrangements and did not
include questions about care provided by another parent, care for the child while the
parent was at work, or care for the child at home by a self-employed parent. Those
respondents not reporting a childcare arrangement are assumed to be in one of these
forms of care and are coded as having no hours in non-parental care.
Number of Hours in Non-parental Care. Percentages do not add to 100 as a result of
rounding. NSAF questions focused on non-parental arrangements and did not include
questions about care provided by another parent, care for the child while the parent was at
work, or care for the child at home by a self-employed parent. Those respondents not
reporting a childcare arrangement are assumed to be in one of these forms of care and are
coded as having no hours in non-parental care.
Parent/Other. Parent care/other care is care given to those children whose mother did not
report a non-parental childcare arrangement while she worked. This type of care could
be provided by the other parent, the mother while she works, or a self-employed mother
at home. For school-age children, this may also include enrichment activities such as
lessons or sports. Because of the way data were collected in NSAF, these activities are
not defined as childcare in this profile.
Primary Child Care Arrangements. Primary arrangement is where the child spends the
greatest number of hours during the week while the mother is at work.
Relative Care. Relative care is care by a relative in the home of either the child or
provider.
Self-Care. Self-care consists of regular amounts of time each week in which the child is
not being supervised while the mother works. This includes time spent alone or with a
sibling younger than 13. “Any self-care” means that the child regularly spent some time
in an unsupervised setting each week, although it was not the form of care in which he or
she spent the most hours each week or necessarily while the mother was at work.
Tables 20-41
Employer-Sponsored. Employer-sponsored coverage includes those who receive
coverage directly from a current or former employer or union, those who receive
coverage as dependents, those who receive coverage under the Consolidated Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1986 (COBRA), and those who receive coverage under
CHAMPUS, Veterans Affairs (VA), or other military program.
Insurance Coverage/Status. Insurance coverage is measured at the time of the survey.
Excludes persons ages 65 and over and those living in institutions or group quarters.
To create mutually exclusive coverage categories, people reporting multiple types of
insurance coverage are classified according to a hierarchy that looks first for employersponsored coverage, then for Medicaid/SCHIP/State coverage, then for Medicare and
other privately purchased coverage that is not obtained through an employer or union.
Thus, for instance, those with both employer-sponsored coverage and Medicaid would be
classified as having employer-sponsored coverage and would not be included in these
estimates.
Firm Size. Firm size is the number of people who are employed at the location of the
worker’s main job. Based on those who work for an employer. “Working for an
employer” includes those who are also self-employed part of the time but work for an
employer as their main job. Excludes those who work in the public sector.
Limiting Disability. For children, indicates that the child has a physical, learning, or
mental health condition that limits participation in the usual kinds of activities done by
most children the child’s age or limits his or her ability to do schoolwork. For adults,
indicates a physical, mental, or other health condition that limits the kind or amount of
work the person can do.
Medicaid/SCHIP/State. Medicaid/SCHIP/State coverage includes those who receive
coverage through the Medicaid program, through state-specific programs, or, for children
less than 18, through separate State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP).
Not Confident in Access to Care. Based on respondent’s answer to the question “How
confident are you that your family members can get care if they need it?” “Not confident”
includes those respondents who say they are “not too confident” or “not confident at all”
that their family can get needed medical care.
Not Satisfied with Quality of Care. Based on respondent’s answer to the question “How
satisfied are you with the quality of medical care your family has received during the last
12 months?” “Not satisfied” includes those respondents who say they are “very
dissatisfied” or “somewhat dissatisfied” in the quality of care their family receives.
Other Insurance. Other insurance includes those who receive coverage through
Medicare, through privately purchased coverage that is not obtained through an employer
or union, and through coverage that cannot be definitively classified as employersponsored, privately-purchased, Medicaid/SCHIP/State, Medicare, or CHAMPUS,
Veterans Affairs (VA), or other military program.
Uninsured. Insurance coverage is measured at the time of the survey. Interviewers asked
respondents about family members’ current enrollment in private and public insurance
and followed up with a confirmation question when no coverage was specified.
Uninsured includes those who reported no type of health insurance coverage at the time
of the survey or who reported coverage under the Indian Health Service program.
Excludes persons ages 65 and over and those living in institutions or group quarters.
Unmet Need. Unmet need estimates are based on responses to a series of questions
asking, “In the past 12 months, did [person] not get or postpone [type of care] when
he/she needed it?” “Any” unmet need indicates that a person had one or more types of
unmet need among medical/surgical, dental, and prescription drug need.
Usual Source of Care. The respondent is asked, “Is there a place where [person] usually
goes when he/she is sick or needs advice about his/her health?” If yes, the interviewer
asks, “What kind of place is it that [person] usually goes to?” The response choices are a
doctor’s office (including an HMO), a hospital emergency room, a clinic or hospital
outpatient department, or some other place. “Other” includes those whose usual source
of care is a clinic or hospital outpatient department, a naturopathic/herbal provider, a
family member or friend who is in the medical profession, dial-in or phone service, or
other providers.
Utilization of Health Care. Health service utilization questions in NSAF ask whether the
sampled person received specific types of care in the 12 months prior to the survey and, if
so, how many times.
