Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: National Survey of Children’s
Health.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0990.
Form Number(s):
English survey forms include:
NSCH–S1 (English Screener),
NSCH–T1 (English Topical for 0- to 5year-old children),
NSCH–T2 (English Topical for 6- to
11-year-old children),
NSCH–T3 (English Topical for 12- to
17-year-old children).
Spanish survey forms include:
NSCH–S–S1 (Spanish Screener),
NSCH–S–T1 (Spanish Topical for 0to 5-year-old children),
NSCH–S–T2 (Spanish Topical for 6to 11-year-old children), and
NSCH–S–T3 (Spanish Topical for 12to 17-year-old children).
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Number of Respondents: 58,345 for
the Screener and 23,460 for the Topical.
Average Hours per Response: 0.083
for the screener and 0.5 for the topical.
Burden Hours: 16,573.
Needs and Uses: The National Survey
of Children’s Health (NSCH) enables the
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB) of the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) to produce national and
state-based estimates on the health and
well-being of children, their families,
and their communities as well as
estimates of the prevalence and impact
of children with special health care
needs.
Data will be collected using one of
two modes. The first mode is a web
instrument (Centurion) survey that
contains the screener and topical
instruments. The web instrument first
will take the respondent through the
screener questions. If the household
screens into the study, the respondent
will be taken directly into one of the
three age-based topical sets of questions.
The second mode is a mailout/mailback
of a self-administered paper-and-pencil
interviewing (PAPI) screener instrument
followed by a separate mailout/mailback
of a PAPI age-based topical instrument.
The National Survey of Children’s
Health (NSCH) is a large-scale (sample
size is 156,054 addresses) national
survey. The survey will consist of one
experiment to test the efficacy of an
infographic in the initial package as
well as two key, non-experimental
design elements. It is anticipated that
the infographic will provide
respondents with a visually pleasant
overview of the survey, including
survey design, key estimates from past

17409
iterations, and information on how the
data can benefit their community, will
encourage response. Higher response
can reduce follow-up costs and
nonresponse bias. The first additional
non-experimental design element is a $2
screener cash incentive mailed to 90%
of sampled addresses; the remaining
10% (the control) will receive no
incentive to monitor the effectiveness of
the cash incentive. This incentive is
designed to increase response and
reduce nonresponse bias. The incentive
amount was chosen following an
incentive test in the 2016 NSCH. From
this test, we concluded that the $2
incentive significantly increased
response over no incentive, particularly
among low-response groups, and was
more cost effective than the $5
incentive. The second additional nonexperimental design element is a
modification to data collection
procedures based on the block grouplevel paper-only response probability to
identify households (30% of the sample)
that would be more likely to respond by
paper and send them a paper
questionnaire from the initial mailing.
Affected Public: Parents, researchers,
policymakers, and family advocates.
Frequency: This 2017 collection is the
second administration of the NSCH. It is
expected that this will become an
annual or biennial survey, with a new
sample drawn for each administration.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Census Authority: 13
U.S.C. Section 8(b).
HRSA MCHB Authority: Section
501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 701).
USDA Authority: The Healthy,

Law 111–296. In particular, 42 U.S.C.
1769d(a) authorizes USDA to conduct
research on the causes and
consequences of childhood hunger
included in 1769d(a)(4)(B), the
geographic dispersion of childhood
hunger and food insecurity.
CDC/NCBDDD Authority: Public
Health Service Act, Section 301, 42
U.S.C. 241.
EPA Authority: FIFRA: Section 20(a);
Toxic Substances Control Act: Section
10; 15 U.S.C. 2609.
Confidentiality: The U.S. Census Bureau is
required by law to protect your information.
The Census Bureau is not permitted to
publicly release your responses in a way that
could identify you or your household.
Federal law protects your privacy and keeps
your answers confidential (Title 13, United

risks through screening of the systems that
transmit your data.
