Questionnaire content is drawn from existing surveys within DHHS and other Federal agencies, or developed specifically to meet project sponsor needs. Examples of topical areas include infant, child, adolescent, parent, and family health, well-being, and knowledge, attitude, and behaviors; children with special health care needs (CSHCN); functioning; life course and social determinants of health; developmental delays and disabilities; acute and chronic conditions; immunizations; access to and use of health care; program participation; adoption; and changes in health insurance coverage and experiences. Since its inception, data from the SLAITS mechanism have been used by researchers in the government, university, commercial, and private sectors; policymakers; and advocates to evaluate content and/or programs. SLAITS data continue to be heavily used by Federal and state Maternal and Child Health Bureau Directors to evaluate programs and service needs. Several SLAITS modules provided data for multiple Congressionally-mandated reports on healthcare disparities and quality; at least one report to Congress on health insurance coverage among children; and reports of the National Academy of Sciences. Within DHHS, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and the Administration for Children and Families used SLAITS to collect data for the first nationally representative survey of adoptive families across adoption types for children with and without special health care needs, and to assess their post-adoption service use and unmet needs.

Proposed Project

    State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS), (OMB No. 
0920-0406, Expiration 04/30/2011)--Revision--National Center for Health 
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 
242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the 
extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the 
United States. The State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey 
(SLAITS) mechanism has been conducted since 1997. This is a request to 
continue for three years the integrated and coordinated survey system 
designed to collect needed health and well-being data at the national, 
state, and local levels, in accordance with the 1995 initiative to 
increase the integration of surveys within DHHS. The survey is being 
revised to allow for increased burden that may be associated with some 
topical areas.
    Using the large sampling frame of the ongoing National Immunization 
Survey (NIS) and Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), and 
when necessary independent samples, mail, and internet modes to support 
data collection activities, SLAITS has quickly collected and produced 
household and person-level data to monitor health-related areas. 
Questionnaire content is drawn from existing surveys within DHHS and 
other Federal agencies, or developed specifically to meet project 
sponsor needs. Examples of topical areas include infant, child, 
adolescent, parent, and family health, well-being, and knowledge, 
attitude, and behaviors; children with special health care needs 
(CSHCN); functioning; life course and social determinants of health; 
developmental delays and disabilities; acute and chronic conditions; 
immunizations; access to and use of health care; program participation; 
adoption; and changes in health insurance coverage and experiences.
    Since its inception, data from the SLAITS mechanism have been used 
by researchers in the government, university, commercial, and private 
sectors; policymakers; and advocates to evaluate content and/or 
programs. SLAITS data continue to be heavily used by Federal and state 
Maternal and Child Health Bureau Directors to evaluate programs and 
service needs. Several SLAITS modules provided data for multiple 
Congressionally-mandated reports on healthcare disparities and quality; 
at least one report to Congress on health insurance coverage among 
children; and reports of the National Academy of Sciences. Within DHHS, 
the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and 
the Administration for Children and Families used SLAITS to collect 
data for the first nationally representative survey of adoptive 
families across adoption types for children with and without special 
health care needs, and to assess their post-adoption service use and 
unmet needs. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
