• Description:
  The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) collects information on fertility, families, and health from a nationally representative sample of males and females aged 15−49 in the household population of the United States. NSFG was conducted five times periodically between 1973 and 1995 with a national sample of females aged 15−44. A sixth periodic survey, conducted in 2002, included both males and females aged 15−44. In June 2006, NSFG shifted to a continuous survey design interviewing males and females. Apart from a break in fieldwork from July 2010 through August 2011, NSFG data collection was conducted continuously through September 2019. In September 2015, the survey’s age range for males and females was expanded from 15−44 to 15−49.
