| NOTE: Estimates weighted by W1C0. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) sampled children born in 2001 and was designed to collect information about them for the first time when the children were about 9 months of age (i.e., 8 to 10 months). Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Due to a difference in how race/ethnicity is defined, estimates in this table may differ from previously published estimates presented in American Indian and Alaska Native Children: Findings From the Base Year of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (NCES 2005-116). |
