Abstract
The Snapshots of America's Families are based on information obtained from the 1997 National Survey of America's Families. We used probability sampling methods to select households in 13 states and in the balance of the nation. The resulting sample is representative of the noninstitutionalized, civilian population of persons under age 65 in the states studied and in the nation.
