DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Census Bureau
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; National Survey of Children's Health Longitudinal Cohort
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on November 21, 2022 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce.
Title: National Survey of Children's Health Longitudinal Cohort.
OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
Form Number(s): NSCH-LCS (English screener questionnaire), NSCH-
LCS-S (Spanish screener questionnaire), NSCH-LC1 (English topical
questionnaire for children 3- to 5-years-old), NSCH-LC2_3 (English
topical questionnaire for children 6- to 17-years-old), NSCH-LC4
(English topical questionnaire for young adults 18- to 24-years-old),
NSCH-LC1-S (Spanish topical questionnaire for children 3- to 5-years-
old), NSCH-LC2_3-S (Spanish topical questionnaire for children 6- to
17-years-old), NSCH-LC4-S (Spanish topical questionnaire for young
adults 18- to 24-years-old).
Type of Request: Regular submission, New Information Collection
Request.
Number of Respondents: 5,130 for the screener only and 39,870 for
the combined screener and topical, for a total of 45,000 respondents.
Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes per screener response and 35
minutes per topical response, which in total is approximately 40
minutes for households with eligible children and young adults.
Burden Hours: 30,328.
Needs and Uses: There is a great need for data to assess the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on U.S. children, young adults, and
their families. The proposed content collected on the National Survey
of Children's Health--Longitudinal Cohort (NSCH-LC) will aid in
illuminating key risk and protective factors for this cohort and help
to identify gaps in health care and education during this period. As a
result of this data collection, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services' Health Resources Services Administration's Maternal and Child
Health Bureau (HRSA MCHB), other government agencies, and other data
users will be able to produce unique data on the physical and emotional
health of 3- to 24-year-olds in the
[[Page 47846]]
United States with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically,
the NSCH-LC will collect information related to the health and well-
being of children, young adults, and their families, including access
to and use of health care, family interactions, parental health,
school, and after-school experiences.
Data will be collected using one of two modes. The first mode is an
English web instrument (Centurion) survey. The web instrument first
verifies that the survey has arrived at the correct address. The rest
of the instrument will collect a roster of children and young adults
then ask age-based questions about a specific focal child or young
adult. The second mode is a mailout/mailback of a self-administered
paper-and-pencil interviewing (PAPI) English or Spanish age-based
screener and topical questionnaires.
The NSCH-LC sample will consist of 60,000 households that responded
previously to the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) annual
survey. Based on incentive use evaluation from many prior cycles of the
NSCH annual survey, including a pre-paid unconditional cash incentive
has proven to be a cost-effective intervention for increasing survey
response and reducing nonresponse bias. Therefore, HRSA MCHB would like
to ensure each sampled household is eligible for a $5 cash incentive.
Affected Public: Parents, researchers, policymakers, and family
advocates.
Frequency: This is the first administration of the NSCH-LC.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Census Authority: Title 13, United States Code
(U.S.C.), section 8(b) (13 U.S.C. 8(b)).
HRSA MCHB Authority: Section 501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. 701).

Disease Control and Prevention, National Center on Birth Defects and
