Proposed Project
Cycle 7 of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG-7)-OMB No. 0920-0314-Reinstatement with change-National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) has been conducted periodically since 1973 by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. The first five cycles were based on in-person interviews with national samples of women 15-44 years of age. Cycle 6, in 2002, was based on interviews with a national sample of 12,571 persons-4,928 men and 7,643 women ages 15-44. Interviews provided national estimates of behavior related to birth and pregnancy rates; marriage, divorce, and adoption; behavior related to the risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases; attitudes toward marriage, childbearing, and parenthood; and men's and women's roles in raising children.
While the content of Cycle 7 will be similar to that of Cycle 6, the interviewing will be conducted over a 4-year period rather than being completed in one year, as in previous cycles. This continuous interviewing design is intended to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and contribute to continuous improvement in the collection, processing, and dissemination of the data. Sample size is expected to increase from 12,571 in Cycle 6 to 17,400 total in the 4 years of data collection in Cycle 7. For this cycle, the "Pretest" will be conducted initially in the first 8 weeks of interviewing and, if no problems are found, those weeks will become part of the Main Study. If operational problems are found in that period, they will be corrected, and the "Main Study" will begin at that point. The burden table represents the survey collection averaged over the first three years of data collection.
Users of the NSFG include: the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the Office of Population Affairs; CDC's NCHS, Division of Reproductive Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion(NCCDPHP); Divisions of HIV/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD, TB Prevention (NCHSTP); and the Department's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, and Administration for Children and Families. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
