In describing
the results of the study, CDC will clearly acknowledge the
limitations of the data including the fact that the study collected
data from a single school district. Since the study does not employ
a statistical sampling methodology to create a representative
sample, the findings will not generate national or other estimates
that may be generalized statistically to a large population.
