2010 OFHS Survey
2010 OFHS Survey
The 2010 Ohio Family Health Survey (OFHS) focused on gauging the level of economic stress on Ohio families and how that stress was impacting Ohio’s health system and indicators of health. Considering the recession and growth in unemployment, it was a tool to measure the health needs of Ohioans since the severe economic downturn that began in late 2008. The 2010 OFHS provided data comparable to the 2008, 2004, and 1998 surveys in order to assess changes over time. The 2010 OFHS had a sample size of 8,276 adult interviews and 2,002 child interviews (via proxy adult).

Design and Methods
The 2010 OFHS was a stratified, list-assisted random-digit-dial sample from a cell phone and landline dual frame. It included an oversample of African Americans. Survey weights were developed to support estimates that could be generalized to the non-institutionalized Ohio adult and child populations.
