This information
collection request is approved subject to the following: CDC should
not use the proposed replacement methodology for school district
refusals because the replacement population is not comparable to
the refusal population. CDC can opt to do one of the following
alternatives: (1) No replacement with no other changes, (2) No
replacement, but carry out extensive efforts to convert refusal and
weight the converted population to represent the unconverted
refusals, or (3) no replacement, use the same conversion approach
as in (2) and increase the total sample size to further compensate
for nonresponse.
