The first cohort of NSCAW began in
1999. NSCAW is the only source of nationally representative,
longitudinal, firsthand information about the functioning and
well-being, service needs, and service utilization of children and
families who come to the attention of the child welfare system. The
Phase I submission for NSCAW III, approved November 2016, included
recruitment and sampling process data collection activities. The
Phase II submission, approved July 2017, is still ongoing. The
schedule for Phase II activities was significantly impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Baseline data collection was completed in March
2022, with 3,298 children and families enrolled in the NSCAW III
cohort. Follow-up data collection with enrolled children and
families is ongoing, as is panel maintenance with NSCAW cohort
members. Phase III data collection from the child welfare workforce
is complete. Analysis and dissemination activities focused on Phase
II baseline and Phase III workforce data have been initiated. This
request is for an extension with changes (revision) to the Phase II
information collection, including changes to materials to restore
the previously approved in-person mode as an option for caregiver
and child respondents, and an extension to the Phase II information
collection. The current request for an extension will allow for the
Phase II follow-up data collection and panel maintenance activities
to be completed and provide greater flexibility to NSCAW
respondents by reinstating a previously approved Phase II in-person
interviewing option.
