Abstract	The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) was developed by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to study educational issues that cannot be addressed in institutional surveys. The NHES collects timely information on specific education topics from a relatively large, targeted sample of households and has been conducted approximately every other year since 1991. The NHES gathers data on several important topics on a rotating basis. For instance, adult education and early childhood program participation have been the focus of several NHES surveys. One-time surveys on current issues, such as school readiness, school safety and discipline, and civic involvement, have been conducted as well. The NHES surveys conducted in 2001 (NHES:2001) included two that had been fielded in previous years, the Early Childhood Program Participation survey (ECPP-NHES:2001) and the Adult Education and Lifelong Learning survey (AELL-NHES:2001). The third NHES:2001 survey was the Before- and After-School Programs and Activities survey (ASPA-NHES:2001); this was the first full-scale NHES survey on this issue, although questions on the topic had been included in previous survey administrations.
