Title: Data Collection for the Fourth
National Incidence Study of Child
Abuse and Neglect.
OMB No.: New collection.
Description: The Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to collect data for the next
National Incidence Study of Child
Abuse and Neglect (NIS). This will be
the fourth cycle of this periodic study.
NIS–1, mandated under Public Law
(Pub. L.) 93–247 (1974), was conducted
in 1979 and 1980, and reported in 1981.
NIS–2, mandated under (Pub. L.) 100–
294 and the Child Abuse, Domestic
Violence, Adoption, and Family
Services Act of 1992 (Pub. L.) 102–295,
was conducted between 1993 and 1995,

and reported in 1996. NIS–4, mandated
by the Keeping Children and Families
Save Act of 2003 (Pub. L.) 108–36, will
gather data in 2005 and 2006, and be
reported in 2008.
NIS is unique in that it goes beyond
the abused and neglected children who
come to the attention of the Child
Protective Services (CPS) system. In
contrast to the National Child Abuse
and Neglect Data Systems (NCANDS),
which rely solely on reported cases, the
NIS design assumes that reported
children represent only a portion of the
children who actually are maltreated.
NIS estimates the scope of the
maltreated child population by
combining information about reported
cases with data on maltreated children
identified by professionals (called
‘‘sentinels’’) who encounter them during
the normal course of their work in a
wide range of agencies in representative
communities. Sentinels are asked to
remain on the lookout for children
whom they believe are maltreated
during the study reference period and to
provide information about these
children.
Children identified by sentinels and
those whose alleged maltreatment is
investigated by CPS during the same
period are evaluated against
standardized definitions, and only
children who meet the study standards
are used to develop the study estimates.
The study estimates are couched in
