New questions for 2011-12

Attachment 2—

New Questions in the Male Questionnaire

of the National Survey of Family Growth , 2011-12

This attachment shows items that were added only in the Male Questionnaire.

Items that changed in both the male and the Female questionnaire are shown in Attachment 1.

Estimated burden is still under the already-approved 60 minutes for men.

We estimate that the changes to the male questionnaire (including those shown in attachment 1 and here in attachment 2) will add a net increase of 5.2 minutes to the male questionnaire, from 52.0 minutes in 2006-10 to 57.2 minutes in 2011-14.

Section A No new questions.

Section B No new questions.

Section G Fathering (Adds about 1.0 minute, because these questions are not asked of males who are not fathers; and most of those below are only asked of some groups of fathers and not others.)

The questions in Section G of the male questionnaire ask about what he does to help raise his own children. Questions are asked about one particular (“focal”) child. Separate questions are asked about children who do and do not live with him. Different sets of questions are asked for pre-school (0-4) and school-age (5-18) children. These are the new items:

GA-6: (Asked if he has a child 0-4 who lives with him):

In the last 4 weeks, how often did you show (NAME) physical affection (kiss, hug, stroke hair, etc) ?

(Not at all, less than once a week, about once a week, several times a week, every day) (Same question is asked in GA-17 for children 5-18 years old.)

Section K: AUDIO CASI

(This is the self-administered part of the NSFG: the respondent enters these answers into a computer, without saying the answers out loud)

KB-4. (Asked if ever been in jail or prison)

Have you been in jail, prison, or a juvenile detention facility 1 time, or more than one time? (1 time, more than 1 time)

The following was added at the request of the CDC’s Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention (DSTDP). Most of these questions are only asked of Men who have sex with men, who are only 6% of all men. Because such a small proportion of men are asked these questions, they add very little time to the average interview.

We estimate that this entire series adds only 1.25 minutes to the average male interview.
