On February 28, 2024, we received approval to conduct a survey, Survey on Where Parents Look for and Find Information and How They Use Information When Selecting Child Care (OMB #0970-0627). Since approval, one nonsubstantive change request was approved to on March 19, 2024. The purpose of this survey is to better understand parent perspectives and experiences with using different information sources on child care and early education (CCEE), how they make decisions about their childrenâs CCEE enrollment, and information about their care arrangements and family circumstances.
We launched the parent survey on March 28, 2024 and are currently using NORCâs AmeriSpeak panel to collect parent survey data. We have experienced substantially higher screener completion and interview completion rates than are typical for other AmeriSpeak surveys. Therefore, we have higher than expected burden and need to update the burden rates for this study.
As such, we request to update the number of households taking the screener section of the survey from 2,100 to 7,000 and the number of households taking the full survey from 1,500 to 2,500. With increased numbers we will have greater power to detect differences between key subgroups of interest, particularly among low-incidence groups. For example, differences in information access and use based on whether the household has reliable internet access.
