Data for the 1983 NPTS was gathered between February 1983 and January 1984. The sample consisted of approximately 6,500 households, drawn from expired Current Population Survey (CPS) units and a small number of housing units built since January 1980. People in the selected households were interviewed only once. Each, month, for a year, people in a different group of households were interviewed. Each household was assigned a specific 24-hour "travel day" and collected data on all travel. "Travel days" always occurred during the first 14 days of each month during the Survey.

Collection of the 1983 NPTS data was undertaken by the Bureau of the Census' permanent professional field staff, located in 12 Regional Offices throughout the United States. Each staff member was thoroughly trained prior to beginning work on the survey. Interviewers received about three days of classroom training plus self-training materials. Additional home study materials and classroom training were planned throughout the interviewing period. Formal training was supplemented by on-the-job training sufficient to insure job performance at the level of established standards. Quality control measures, such as edition returns, observing interviews and reinterviewing selected sample households, were employed throughout the survey.

Founded by a Swedish mother, Gun Denhart, and her American husband, Tom, in 1983, the company is named for her grandmother, Hanna Andersson. She started a children's clothing business in America when she could not find beautiful quality, pure cotton kids clothes like those she had known in Sweden. Gun commented "It's terrific to know the little company Tom and I started, with a simple commitment to the customer, high quality and strong sense of corporate responsibility, has the opportunity to partner with Kellwood to help Hanna realize its full potential".
