The National Household Education Survey (NHES) is a data collection system of the National Center for Education Statistics, which has as its mission the collection and publication of data on the condition of education in the United States. The NHES is specifically designed to provide information on educational issues that are best addressed by contacting households rather than educational institutions. The NHES, which was conducted in 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1996, is a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States. From 45,000 to 64,000 households are screened for each administration and those who meet predetermined criteria are sampled for more detailed or extended interviews. This report presents an overview of the NHES survey program from 1991 to 1996, addressing specific aspects such as survey topics, sample design, and data collection. It discusses how the NHES has evolved over time, but is not intended to provide detailed information about each NHES cycle. The following components were surveyed in these years: (1) 1991--early childhood education and adult education; (2) 1993--school readiness, school safety and discipline--parent and youth interviews; (3) 1995--early childhood program participation and adult education; and (4) 1996--household and library screening and parent/family involvement in education and civic involvement--parent interview.

The 1995 National Household Education Survey (NHES:95) was a random digit dial telephone survey of households developed by the National Center for Education Statistics. The NHES:95 included two topical survey components: the Adult Education component, which collected information about adults' participation in adult education, and the Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP) component, which collected information about children's participation in nonparental child care and early childhood programs. This manual provides documentation and guidance for users of the public release data file for the ECPP component. Information about the purpose of the study, the data collection instruments, the sample design, and data collection and data processing procedures is provided. Some information about factors that should be kept in mind when using ECPP data is also provided. For the ECPP component, interviews were conducted with parents of 14,064 children, a figure that included 101 home schooled children. Four appendixes present screening and study questionnaires, information about the file layout, the Statistical Analysis System code for derived variables, and the ECPP codebook.
