ABSTRACT
This report presents data obtained from a modified version of the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test administered to a national probability sample of youths 12-17 years of age in the United States in the Health Examination Survey of 1966-70. Information presented here is essentially a continuation of that reported for children ages 6-11 in a previous publication of the Vitul and Health Statistics series. This is the first report on test findings among adolescents and is limited to consideration of age and sex differentials. The Health Examination Survey is a program of the National Center for Health Statistics in which data are collected by direct examination of representative samples of the noninstitutionalized population of the United States. Since 1960 the Survey has been carried out in a series of separate programs (called "cycles") concerned with segments of the total population and focused on certain aspects of the health of that subpopulation. The data presented here were obtained in the third cycle, a survey of the Nation% youths aged 12-17 years. This program was a continuation of the previous cycle in which children 6-11 years old were given basically the same examination and which focused on health factors related to growth and development. Details regarding the surveys can be obtained in comprehensive reports on the children's program and that of the youths. Further information regarding the Cycle III survey design can be found in appendix I.
