SNMCS-II Supporting Statement Review Part A and B
March 27, 2019
General Comment:
The paper addresses and explains very clearly the purpose, expectation, process, and statistical methods used for the School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study. All topics are well defined and supported by tables, examples, and the pertinent information such as contract number, sample sizes, expected precision levels etc. The statistical methods used for the study are well detailed and justified. Improved stratification, sample selection, and telephone follow up for nonresponse should increase the response rate. One suggestion to enhance the supporting statement would be to include more information about how a nonresponse bias study would be conducted if needed.
