Abstract:
The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) provides nationally representative data on factors related to birth and pregnancy rates, sexually transmitted diseases, and family formation including marriage, divorce, and adoption for NCHS and other Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) programs. The survey is administered in person, in English and Spanish. About 5,000 people are interviewed each year. This Non-Substantive Change Request is for approval of questionnaire changes proposed for fieldwork beginning in September 2017. Burden for the NSFG data collection is still estimated to be within the approved averages of 60 minutes for males and 80 minutes for females. In addition, per agreement in May 2015, we are providing OMB with information on our sexual orientation data collected in ACASI, based on the 50-50 randomized split of all respondents 15-49 to receive either the NSFG version of the question or the NHIS version of question.
