Needs and Uses: The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) Pretest is a small-scale (N = 16,000 addresses) national pretest conducted prior to fielding the first year production survey. This pretest is necessary to assess survey methodology, evaluate the survey instrument, and test operational procedures and processes. The pretest sample will consist of several panels to assess data collection mode preferences (Mail or Internet) of respondents, amount of respondent cash incentives ($5 or $10) needed to gain cooperation and participation in the survey, and telephone as a method of nonresponse follow-up. Plans for pretest data collection include two modes. The first mode that will be tested is a mail out/mail back of a self-administered paper-and-pencil interviewing (PAPI) screener instrument followed by a separate mail out/mail back of a PAPI age-based topical instrument. The second mode that will be tested is an Internet survey that contains the screener and topical instruments. The Internet instrument E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1
