abstract="OBJECTIVES: This report presents state-level estimates of the percentage of households that do not have a landline telephone, but do have at least one wireless telephone. These wireless-only households made up 14.7% of U.S. households in 2007. The report also presents state-level estimates of the percentage of adults living in wireless-only households. These wireless-only adults made up 13.6% of U.S. adults in 2007. <br><br>METHODS: A two-sample modeling strategy was used to estimate the prevalence of wireless-only households and adults by state. This modeling was based on data from the 2007 National Health Interview Survey and the 2008 Current Population Survey's Annual and Social Economic Supplement. <br><br>RESULTS: The results show that the prevalence of wireless-only households and adults in 2007 varied substantially across states. State-level estimates ranged from 5.1% (Vermont) to 26.2% (Oklahoma) of households and from 4.0% (Delaware) to 25.1% (Oklahoma) of adults. In addition, approximately one out of four adults (25.4%) living in the District of Columbia were wireless-only.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
