Abstract:
The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) enables the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to produce national and state-based estimates on the health and well-being of children, their families, and their communities as well as estimates of the prevalence and impact of children with special health care needs. Data will be collected using two modes. The first mode is an Internet survey that contains the screener and topical instruments. The Internet instrument first will take the respondent through the screener questions. If the household screens into the study, the respondent will be taken directly into one of the three age-based topical sets of questions. The second mode that is a mailout/mailback of a self-administered paper-and-pencil interviewing (PAPI) screener instrument followed by a separate mailout/mailback of a PAPI age-based topical instrument. This submission requests approval for a large-scale (N = 156,054 addresses) national Web and Paper-and-Pencil Interview (PAPI) survey. Incentives ($2 bill) will be included in the initial invite letter for 90% of the sample, while the other 10% of the sample will not receive an incentive as a way to monitor incentive effectiveness. The survey will consist of two experiments to evaluate opportunities to incorporate efficiencies in the data collection process. The first experiment will test the efficacy of an infographic in the initial mail package and conditional upon funding, the second experiment will test the efficacy of incentives in the topical mailings. The design and content of the NSCH 2017 survey is based on preliminary 2016 NSCH results.
