Number of Respondents: 12,534.
Average Hours per Response: 0.08 for

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
