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.
