The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,811 teens is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey was conducted by Ipsos in English and Spanish. Ipsos sampled households with adolescents ages 13 to 17 from its KnowledgePanel, a probability-based web panel designed to be representative of the United States. A parent panelist and one teen ages 13 to 17 in the household participated. Households were provided with access to the internet and hardware if needed.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/?attachment_id=32102\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32102\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32102\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/PR_2019.10.03_religion-in-school_M-01.png\" alt=\"Parent weighting dimensions\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p>[18.numoffset=&#8221;18&#8243; Eight of these cases were excluded due to refusing to answer more than one-third of the substantive survey questions.]<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KnowledgePanel\u2019s recruitment process was originally based exclusively on a national random-digit dial (RDD) sampling methodology. In 2009, Ipsos migrated to an address-based sampling (ABS) recruitment methodology via the U.S. Postal Service\u2019s Delivery Sequence File (DSF). The U.S. Postal Service\u2019s Delivery Sequence File has been estimated to cover as much as 98% of the population, although some studies suggest that the coverage could be in the low 90% range.[19.

The teen weights were then further adjusted to reflect each teen\u2019s probability of selection out of all eligible teens in their household.
