Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health/Office of Population Affairs (OPA) is seeking an
approval by the Office of Management and Budget on a new information collection. We seek to collect
information to increase understanding of (1) adolescent and young adult knowledge of human (female and male) fertility and (2) how this knowledge is related to behaviors and intentions involving childbearing. We propose to collect this information through a 20-minute web survey (Fertility Knowledge Survey) of 2,100 females and 1,900 males, aged 15 to 29 years, using an online panel that is based on a probability-based sample of the U.S. population. The survey will produce evidence and findings that are expected to be generalizable to the population of English-speaking females and males aged 15 to 29 years in the United States.
US Code:
42 USC 300
Name of Law: Title X Public Health Service Act
