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.
