Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: National Survey of Children's Health.
OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
Form Number(s):
English survey forms include:
NSCH-S1 (English Screener),
NSCH-T1 (English Topical for 0- to 5-year-old children),
NSCH-T2 (English Topical for 6- to 11-year-old children),
NSCH-T3 (English Topical for 12- to 17-year-old children).

NSCH-S-T2 (Spanish Topical for 6- to 11-year-old children), and
NSCH-S-T3 (Spanish Topical for 12- to 17-year-old children).
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Number of Respondents: 190,406 for the Screener and 76,500 for the
Topical.
Average Hours Per Response: 0.083 for the screener and 0.5 for the
topical.
Burden Hours: 54,117.
Needs and Uses: The National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH)
enables the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to produce national and state-based
estimates on the health and well-being of children, their families, and
their communities as well as estimates of the prevalence and impact of
children with special health care needs.
Data will be collected using two modes. The first mode is an
Internet survey that contains the screener and topical instruments. The
Internet instrument first will take the respondent through the screener
questions. If the household screens into the study, the respondent will
be taken directly into one of the three age-based topical sets of
questions. The second mode that is a mailout/mailback of a self-
administered paper-and-pencil interviewing (PAPI) screener instrument
followed by a separate mailout/mailback of a PAPI age-based topical
instrument.
The National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) is a large-scale
(sample size is 364,153 addresses) national survey. The survey will
consist of several experiments: (i) To assess amount of respondent cash
incentives ($0, $2, or $5) needed to gain cooperation and participation
in the survey, (ii) to test whether an alternative Maternal and Child
Health Bureau branding improves response for the NSCH over the Census
Bureau's standard branding and (iii) modification to data collection
procedures based on the tract level internet response likelihood.
Affected Public: Parents, researchers, policymakers, and family
advocates.
Frequency: This 2016 collection is the first administration of the
new NSCH. There is a possibility that this will become an annual or
biennial survey, with a new sample drawn for each administration.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Census Authority: 13 U.S.C. Section 8(b), HRSA
MCHB Authority: 42 U.S.C., Section 701(a)(2).
Confidentiality: The data collected under this agreement are
confidential under 13 U.S.C. Section 9. All access to Title 13 data
from this survey is restricted to Census Bureau employees and those
holding Census Bureau Special Sworn Status pursuant to 13 U.S.C.
Section 23(c).
