ββββThe target population of the GSS is adults (18+) living in households in the United States. From 1972 to 2004 it was further restricted to those able to do the survey in English. From 2006 to present it has included those able to do the survey in English or Spanish. Those unable to do the survey in either English or Spanish are out-of-scope. Residents of institutions and group quarters are out-of-scope. Those with mental and/or physical conditions that prevent them from doing the survey, but who live in households are part of the target population and in-scope. In the reinterviews those who have died, moved out of the United States, or who no longer live in a household have left the target population and are out-of-scope.
