Title: National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being-Third
Cohort (NSCAW III): Agency Recruitment.
OMB No.: 0970-0202.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) intends
to collect data on a third cohort of children and families for the
National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW). NSCAW is
the only source of nationally representative, longitudinal, firsthand
information about the functioning and well-being, service needs, and
service utilization of children and families who come to the attention
of the child welfare system. The first two cohorts of NSCAW were
collected beginning in 1999 and 2008 and studied children who had been
the subject of investigation by Child Protective Services. Children
were sampled from child welfare agencies nationwide.
The proposed data collection plan for the third cohort of NSCAW
includes two phases: Phase 1 includes child
[[Page 37601]]
welfare agency recruitment and collection of files for sampling
children, and Phase 2 includes baseline data collection and an 18-month
follow-up data collection. The current data collection plan calls for
selecting a new cohort of 4,565 children and families and repeating
similar data collection procedures as the previous two cohorts. This
Notice is specific to Phase 1. The overall goal is to recruit child
welfare agencies in 83 primary sampling units nationwide. Child welfare
agencies will be selected with probability proportional to size, based
on the current distributions in the child welfare system. Child welfare
agency recruitment will include: mail, email, phone calls, and site
visits with child welfare agency administrators.
Respondents: Child welfare agency administrators and other
personnel. Data collection will take place over a 2-year period.
