In September 2021, OMB approved remote administration of the NSCAW III follow-up interviews (Wave 2). Data collection began in December 2021. Caregivers, youth ages 11 and older, and caseworkers are being interviewed remotely by telephone and web. The youth interview that is conducted with adolescents and young adults currently contains gender identity and sexual orientation items. The current wording of these items was based on federal guidance available during the instrument development phase of NSCAW III (OMB, 2016). Since that time, new resources have become available.
Additionally, in each data collection wave of NSCAW, caregivers and youth ages 16 and older are asked to provide their address, telephone numbers, email address, and Social Security Number for locating purposes. They are also asked to provide names and contact information for up to two friends and relatives. Maintaining long-term participation continues to be a challenge for NSCAW and many other longitudinal surveys. The collection of this information is intended to support panel retention and increase the likelihood of locating respondents over time.
The purpose of the current request is to obtain approval to:
1. Update the gender identity and sexual orientation items currently asked of NSCAW adolescents and young adults, to add these updated gender identity and sexual orientation items to the caregiver survey, and
2. Obtain approval for panel maintenance contacts with NSCAW cohort members.
US Code:
42 USC 626b
Name of Law: Continuing Appropriations Act of 2020
There are no remaining approved burden hours from the Phase I NSCAW III data collection. Phase II burden was updated to reflect panel maintenance contacts with NSCAW cohort members.
Burden was also adjusted in ROCIS to reflect the accurate response times, as previously approved. This was an error in the last upload to ROCIS that is now corrected to accurately reflect the most recent and the current information collection requests.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
