The Survey of the American Consumer is designed to understand media and product usage from consumers all across the U.S. Our sample uses scientific and well-established sampling methods in order to obtain a sample representing all American adults, age 18+. One of the ways we do this is to predesignate households as either "male" or "female" and choose a respondent randomly within that gender. In some households we allow an adult of the other gender to take the survey if no one from the predesignated gender exists in that home. In some households we also have a more specific age requirement.

If any adult in your household does not identify as either male or female, when determining who should take the survey, please use the gender they most closely identify with.
