AMONG THOSE AGES 18-64 WITH EMPLOYER-SPONSORED INSURANCE
13. This Kaiser Health Tracking Poll was designed and analyzed by public opinion researchers at the Kaiser Family Foundation
led by Mollyann Brodie, Ph.D., including Liz Hamel and Sarah Cho. The survey was conducted June 5-9, 2013, among a
nationally representative random digit dial telephone sample of 1,505 adults ages 18 and older, living in the United
States, including Alaska and Hawaii (note: persons without a telephone could not be included in the random selection
process). Computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted by landline (752) and cell phone (753, including 385 who
had no landline telephone) were carried out in English and Spanish by Princeton Data Source under the direction of
Princeton Survey Research Associates International (PSRAI). The combined landline and cell phone sample was weighted
to balance the sample demographics to match Census estimates for the national population on
sex, age, education, race, Hispanic origin, nativity (for Hispanics only), region and telephone usage.
All statistical tests of significance account for the effect of weighting. The margin of sampling error including the design
effect for the full sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points . For results based on subgroups, the margin of sampling
error may be higher. Note that sampling error is only one of many potential sources of error in this or any other public
opinion poll.
