• Description:
  The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) collects information on families, fertility, and health from a national 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 2006, NSFG shifted to a continuous ongoing survey design, interviewing males and females. In September 2015, the age range was expanded to males and females aged 15−49.
