Updated January 2021
S - Estimates suppressed when the effective sample size is less than 30 or the 90% confidence interval is greater than 30 percentage points or 1.3 times the estimate.
Item nonresponse increased substantially between Phase 1 (April 23, 2020-July 21, 2020) and Phase 2 (August 19, 2020-October 26, 2020). The potential bias due to item nonresponse errors has not been evaluated.
A 90 percent confidence interval for each estimate can be found at Adults ages 18 to 24 who sometimes or often did not have enough food to eat prior to the pandemic.
