  In Refereed Round-Table Session: The importance of sampling weights and practical considerations for their use in research

In this presentation, RTI will use real data to explore the dangers in presenting estimates that are not properly weighted as well as the dangers in being overly confident in these bias estimates when the data are analyzed without taking the sample methodology into account.
