Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being Second
Cohort (NSCAW II).
OMB No.: 0970-0202.
Description: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to collect follow-up data on a sample of children and families
for the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW). The
NSCAW was authorized under Section 427 of the Personal Responsibility
and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996. The NSCAW is the
only source of nationally representative, 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. Information is collected about children's cognitive, social,
emotional, behavioral, and adaptive functioning, as well as family and
community factors that are likely to influence their functioning.
Family service needs and service utilization also are addressed in the
data collection.
Selection of the current NSCAW sample and baseline data collection
began in 2007 with a final anticipated sample size of 5,700 children.
The proposed data collection will allow for follow-up of this sample 18
months post-baseline, and will follow the same format as that used in
the baseline round and will employ, with only modest revisions, the
same instruments that were used in the previous round. Data from NSCAW
are made available to the research community through licensing
arrangements from the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect
at Cornell University.
Respondents: Children and their associated permanent or foster
caregivers, caseworkers, and teachers.
