Earlier reports are based on data collected in periodic surveys of a nationwide probability sample of persons in the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the U.S. Cycles 1-5 in 1973-1995 surveyed women 15-44 years of age, and Cycle 6 in 2002 surveyed both men and women in this age group. The more recent reports are based on data collected since 2006 when the NSFG went to a continuous survey design.
