The Civic Health Index data discussed in this report are from a nationally representative survey of Americans that was conducted in April 2009 for the National Conference on Citizenship, based in Washington D.C. The sample is comprised of 1,518 nationally representative respondents and additional samples from 6 states - California, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Ohio - providing a total national sample of 3,889 respondents. 413 New Hampshire respondents completed the survey. The original New Hampshire sample had an over-representation of women and of college-educated respondents and, therefore, following standard practices in survey methodology, the sample was weighted statistically to redress these imbalances. The New Hampshire survey does not have data on the income or urban/rural status of the respondents. The sample selection and the survey administration was conducted by Knowledge Networks, a survey research organization that has recruited the first online research panel that is representative of the entire US population. Panel members are randomly recruited by probability-based sampling, and households are provided with access to the Internet and hardware if needed (20 percent of the total national sample needed this assistance).
