The national comorbidity survey that seeks to determine the prevalence and correlates of mental disorders among U.S. adolescents is based on a dual-frame design that includes 904 adolescents from a previous household survey and 9,244 adolescent students from a sample of 320 schools. Replacement schools for those that refuse to participate do not produce bias.
