DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request: NEXT Generation
Health Study; Correction Notice
Summary: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Child Health
and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request
for review and approval of the information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection was previously published in the
Federal Register on February 23, 2012 (Volume 77, Number 36) and
allowed 60-days for public comment. No comments were received. The
purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment, to correct the omission of the peers survey in the previous
notice, and to correct the errant data that appeared in Table 1 and
Table 2 of the notice. The data in Table 1 and Table 2 of this notice
are correct. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or
sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
Proposed Collection
Title: NEXT Generation Health Study.
Type of Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The goal of this research is to continue to obtain data on
adolescent health and health behaviors annually for seven years
beginning in the 2009-2010 school year from a national probability
sample of adolescents. The transition from high school to post high
school years is a critical period for changes in adolescent health risk
behaviors. This information will enable the improvement of health
services and programs for youth. The study will provide needed
information about the health of U.S. adolescents and influences on
their health.
The study has collected information on adolescent health behaviors
and social and environmental contexts for these behaviors annually for
three years beginning in the 2009-2010 school year. This study will
continue to collect this information for an additional four years
beginning in 2013. The health behaviors of participants' friends will
also be surveyed at two points in time: when participants are 19 years
old and again when they are 21. Self-report of health status, health
behaviors, and health attitudes will be collected by online surveys.
