Proposed Project
Rapid Surveys System (RSS) Round 4
(OMB Control No. 0920–1408)—
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.), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS),
acting through NCHS, collect data about
the health of the population of the
United States. The RSS (OMB control
No. 0920–1408) collects data on
emerging public health topics, attitudes,
and behaviors using cross-sectional
samples from two commercially
available, national probability-based
online panels. The RSS then combines
these data to form estimates that
approximate national representation in
ways that many data collection
approaches cannot. The RSS collects
data in contexts in which decision
makers’ need for time-sensitive data of
known quality about emerging and
priority health concerns is a higher
priority than their need for statistically
unbiased estimates.
The RSS complements NCHS’s
current household survey systems. As
quicker turnaround surveys that require
less accuracy and precision than CDC’s
more rigorous population representative
surveys, the RSS incorporates multiple
mechanisms to carefully evaluate the
resulting survey data for their
PO 00000

appropriateness for use in public health
surveillance and research (e.g.,
hypothesis generating) and facilitate
continuous quality improvement by
supplementing these panels with
intensive efforts to understand how well
the estimates reflect populations at most
risk. The RSS data dissemination
strategy communicates the strengths and
limitations of data collected through
online probability panels as compared
to more robust data collection methods.
The RSS has three major goals: (1) to
provide CDC and other partners with
time-sensitive data of known quality
about emerging and priority health
concerns; (2) to use these data
collections to continue NCHS’s
evaluation of the quality of public
health estimates generated from
commercial online panels; and (3) to
improve methods to communicate the
appropriateness of public health
estimates generated from commercial
online panels.
The RSS is designed to have four
rounds of data collection each year with
data being collected by two contractors
with probability panels. A crosssectional nationally representative
sample will be drawn from the online
probability panel maintained by each of
the contractors. As part of the base
(minimum sample size), each round of
data collection will collect 2,000
responses per quarter. The RSS can be
expanded by increasing the number of
completed responses per round or the
number of rounds per year as needed up
to a maximum of 28,000 responses per
year per contractor or 56,000 total
responses per year. Additionally, each
data collection may include up to 2,000
additional responses per quarter (8,000
for the year) to improve
representativeness. This increases the
maximum burden by up to 16,000
responses per year. The RSS may also
target individual surveys to collect data
only from specific subgroups within
existing survey panels and may
supplement data collection for such
groups with additional respondents
from other probability or nonprobability
samples. An additional 12,000
responses per year may be used for
these developmental activities.
Each round’s questionnaire will
consist of four main components: (1)
basic demographic information on
respondents to be used as covariates in
analyses; (2) new, emerging, or
supplemental content proposed by
NCHS, other CDC Centers, Institute, and
Offices, and other HHS agencies; (3)
questions used for calibrating the survey
weights; and (4) additional content
selected by NCHS to evaluate against
relevant benchmarks. NCHS will use

12346

questions from Components 1 and 2 to
provide relevant, timely data on new,
emerging, and priority health topics to
be used for decision making. NCHS will
use questions from Components 3 and 4
to weight and evaluate the quality of the
estimates coming from questions in
Components 1 and 2. Components 1 and
2 will contain different topics in each
round of the survey. NCHS submits a
30-day Federal Register Notice with
information on the contents of each
round of data collection.
NCHS calibrates survey weights from
the RSS to gold standard surveys.
Questions used for calibration in this
round of RSS will include marital
status, employment, social and work
limitations, use of the internet in
general and for medical reasons,
telephone use, civic engagement, and
language used at home and in other
settings. All of these questions have
injury because of intimate partner
violence.
In Round 4, the RSS will be used as
a methodological study to test the
ability to obtain data on intimate partner
violence-related topics via web panel
survey. In addition, RSS Round 4 offers
the opportunity for developmental work
to develop questions using a split
sample to compare current NISVS
questions and modified questions to
evaluate different wording and question
formats and to develop new
questionnaire content related to
understudied domains of intimate
partner violence. The estimated total
annual burden hours for the three-year
approval period remains at 28,079
burden hours. The NCHS RSS Round 4
(2024) data collection is based on 13,100
complete surveys (4,367 hours). There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
been on the National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS) in prior years allowing
calibration to these data.
Finally, all RSS rounds will include
several questions that were previously
on NHIS or other NCHS surveys, or
other suitable Federal surveys for
benchmarking to evaluate data quality.
Panelists in the RSS will be asked about
health status; chronic conditions;
pregnancy; disability and age of
disability onset; health insurance
through an employer; healthcare access
and utilization; mental health; mental
health care utilization; and health
behaviors.
Rapid Surveys System (RSS) will
include content on psychological
aggression by intimate partners, sexual
violence, technology-facilitated sexual
violence, emerging coercive control by
intimate partners, and traumatic brain

Proposed Project
Rapid Surveys System (RSS) Round 4 (OMB Control No. 0920-1408)--

The RSS complements NCHS's current household survey systems. As
quicker turnaround surveys that require less accuracy and precision
than CDC's more rigorous population representative surveys, the RSS
incorporates multiple mechanisms to carefully evaluate the resulting
survey data for their appropriateness for use in public health
surveillance and research (e.g., hypothesis generating) and facilitate
continuous quality improvement by supplementing these panels with
intensive efforts to understand how well the estimates reflect

The RSS has three major goals: (1) to provide CDC and other
partners with time-sensitive data of known quality about emerging and
priority health concerns; (2) to use these data collections to continue
NCHS's evaluation of the quality of public health estimates generated
from commercial online panels; and (3) to improve methods to
communicate the appropriateness of public health estimates generated
from commercial online panels.
The RSS is designed to have four rounds of data collection each
year with data being collected by two contractors with probability
panels. A cross-sectional nationally representative sample will be
drawn from the online probability panel maintained by each of the
contractors. As part of the base (minimum sample size), each round of
data collection will collect 2,000 responses per quarter. The RSS can
be expanded by increasing the number of completed responses per round
or the number of rounds per year as needed up to a maximum of 28,000
responses per year per contractor or 56,000 total responses per year.
Additionally, each data collection may include up to 2,000 additional
responses per quarter (8,000 for the year) to improve
representativeness. This increases the maximum burden by up to 16,000
responses per year. The RSS may also target individual surveys to
collect data only from specific subgroups within existing survey panels
and may supplement data collection for such groups with additional
respondents from other probability or nonprobability samples. An
additional 12,000 responses per year may be used for these
developmental activities.
Each round's questionnaire will consist of four main components:
(1) basic demographic information on respondents to be used as
covariates in analyses; (2) new, emerging, or supplemental content
proposed by NCHS, other CDC Centers, Institute, and Offices, and other
HHS agencies; (3) questions used for calibrating the survey weights;
and (4) additional content selected by NCHS to evaluate against
relevant benchmarks. NCHS will use
[[Page 12346]]
questions from Components 1 and 2 to provide relevant, timely data on
new, emerging, and priority health topics to be used for decision
making. NCHS will use questions from Components 3 and 4 to weight and
evaluate the quality of the estimates coming from questions in
Components 1 and 2. Components 1 and 2 will contain different topics in
each round of the survey. NCHS submits a 30-day Federal Register Notice
with information on the contents of each round of data collection.
NCHS calibrates survey weights from the RSS to gold standard
surveys. Questions used for calibration in this round of RSS will
include marital status, employment, social and work limitations, use of
the internet in general and for medical reasons, telephone use, civic
engagement, and language used at home and in other settings. All of
these questions have been on the National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) in prior years allowing calibration to these data.
Finally, all RSS rounds will include several questions that were
previously on NHIS or other NCHS surveys, or other suitable Federal
surveys for benchmarking to evaluate data quality. Panelists in the RSS
will be asked about health status; chronic conditions; pregnancy;
disability and age of disability onset; health insurance through an
employer; healthcare access and utilization; mental health; mental
health care utilization; and health behaviors.
Rapid Surveys System (RSS) will include content on psychological
aggression by intimate partners, sexual violence, technology-
facilitated sexual violence, emerging coercive control by intimate
partners, and traumatic brain injury because of intimate partner
violence.
In Round 4, the RSS will be used as a methodological study to test
the ability to obtain data on intimate partner violence-related topics
via web panel survey. In addition, RSS Round 4 offers the opportunity
for developmental work to develop questions using a split sample to
compare current NISVS questions and modified questions to evaluate
different wording and question formats and to develop new questionnaire
content related to understudied domains of intimate partner violence.
The estimated total annual burden hours for the three-year approval
period remains at 28,079 burden hours. The NCHS RSS Round 4 (2024) data
collection is based on 13,100 complete surveys (4,367 hours). There are
no costs to respondents other than their time.
