Abstract: National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) collects and disseminate “statistics on family formation, growth, and dissolution.” The NSFG supplements and complements the data from birth and fetal death certificates by monitoring factors (such as sexual activity, contraception, marriage and cohabitation, and infertility) that affect birth and pregnancy rates. The NSFG provides nationally representative data on factors related to fertility, family formation, and reproductive health for NCHS and its cosponsors within DHHS. Throughout its history, NSFG has been administered in person, in English and Spanish, with a self-administered portion added in more recent survey periods. Under the plan laid out in this clearance request, NSFG builds on its past survey design and procedures and incorporates online administration into a multi-phase, multi-mode design. This design calls for about 5,000 people aged 15-49 to be interviewed each year, however higher yields are sought in Year 3 and beyond to compensate for the underproduction seen in the first 2 years of data collection due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated labor market challenges. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted is for a set of survey instrument changes for implementation starting in January 2026 (Year 5). These survey changes consist primarily of question deletions and are proposed to reduce respondent burden and lessen the overall sensitivity of the survey content. No new content areas are proposed. There is no change to the data collection instruments or burden to respondents associated with this collection.
