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.

to prevent child maltreatment. An
evaluation study will address four
domains: (1) Systems change to develop
infrastructure, (2) fidelity to home
visiting models, (3) costs, and (4) family
and child outcomes (via a review of
grantee analysis reports). A process
study will focus on the broader grant
initiative to understand how programs
plan and develop the infrastructure
needed to support home visitation
services and how programs ensure
service quality.
Information will be collected through
biennial site visits, semi-annual
progress reports, and monthly entries
into a web-based data system. Site visits
will include interviews with key grantee
staff and stakeholders involved in the
execution of the grant and in the efforts
to make system changes. Progress report
cross-site evaluation data will capture
the costs of home visiting and provide
additional information on systems
change. Web-based data entry will
include EBHV program and participant
characteristics along with systems
change updates on goals and operations
every six months. Additionally, cross-
