Proposed Project
State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS), OMB No.
0920-0406--Extension--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS)
mechanism has been conducted since 1997. This is a request to continue
the integrated and coordinated survey system for three years. This
system is designed to collect needed health and welfare-related data at
the national, state, and local levels. Using the random-digit-dial
sampling frame from the ongoing National Immunization Survey (NIS) and
Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), the State and Local
Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) has quickly collected and
produced data to monitor many health-related areas including child and
family well-being, access to care, program participation, and changes
in health care coverage at the national and state levels. The first
component of the next three-year period will be the National Survey of
Children with Special Health Care Needs, which will provide data to be
used for program planning and evaluation at the state and national
levels.
For some SLAITS modules, questionnaire content is drawn from
existing surveys within the Department of Health and Human Services as
well as other Federal agencies. Other questionnaire modules were
developed specifically for SLAITS. Past modules include General Health,
Children's Health, Child Well-Being and Welfare, Children with Special
Health Care Needs (CSHCN), Asthma Prevalence and Treatment, Knowledge
of Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP),
Survey of Early Childhood Health, and HIV/STD Related Risk Behavior.
SLAITS has provided policy analysts, program planners, and
researchers with high quality data for decision making and program
assessment. For example, the module on Medicaid and SCHIP was
prominently featured in a report to Congress on insuring children. The
CSHCN module has been used by federal and state Maternal and Child
Health Bureau Directors to evaluate programs and service needs. The
American Academy of Pediatrics is using the module on early childhood
health to advise pediatricians on patient care standards and to inform
parents about the health and well-being of young children. There are no
costs to respondents other than their time to participate. The
estimated annualized burden is 52,734 hours.
