Proposed Project
Cycle 7 of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG-7)--OMB No.
0920-0314--Reinstatement--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Background and Brief Description
The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) has been conducted
periodically since 1973 by the CDC's National Center for Health
Statistics. The first five cycles were based on in-person interviews
with national samples of women 15-44 years of age. Cycle 6, in 2002,
was based on interviews with a national sample of 12,571 persons--4,928
men and 7,643 women ages 15-44. Interviews provide national estimates
of behavior related to birth and pregnancy rates; marriage, divorce,
and adoption; behavior related to the risk of Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted
[[Page 10974]]
diseases; attitudes toward marriage, childbearing, and parenthood; and
men's and women's roles in raising children.
While the content of Cycle 7 will be similar to that of Cycle 6,
the interviewing will be conducted over a 4.5-year period rather than
all in one year, as in previous cycles. This continuous interviewing
design is intended to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and contribute
to continuous improvement in the collection, processing, and
dissemination of the data. Sample size is expected to increase from
12,571 in Cycle 6 to 17,400 total in the 4.5 years of data collection
in Cycle 7. For this cycle, the ``Pretest'' will be conducted initially
in the first 8 weeks of interviewing and, if no problems are found,
those weeks will become part of the Main Study. If operational problems
are found in that period, they will be corrected, and the ``Main
Study'' will begin at that point. Emerging public policy issues may
necessitate the addition of a few new questions. The burden table
represents the survey collection averaged over the first three years of
the survey.
Users of the NSFG include the National Institutes of Health
National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; the Office of
Population Affairs; NCHS/CDC; the Division of Reproductive Health, CDC;
the Divisions of HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC; the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation; and the Administration for
Children and Families.
There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours are 6,457
