In September 2021, OMB approved remote
administration of the NSCAW III follow-up interviews (Wave 2). Data
collection began in December 2021. Caregivers, youth ages 11 and
older, and caseworkers are being interviewed remotely by telephone
and web. Currently, caregivers and youth ages 16 and older are
asked to provide their address, telephone numbers, email address,
and Social Security Number for locating purposes. They are also
asked to provide names and contact information for up to two
friends and relatives. These data are collected in the
interviewer-administered telephone portion of the remote Wave 2
surveys. The purpose of the current request is to obtain approval
to add four questions to the remote Wave 2 interviews for
caregivers and youth ages 13 and older. The purpose of these
additions is to gather information from caregivers and youth ages
13 and older about whether they use particular social media
platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok), and if
applicable, their user/profile names on those platforms. This
information is intended to support panel retention and increase the
likelihood of locating respondents over time. Social media services
like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok place an age
restriction of 13 on their services.

Timing data collected during
NSCAW III indicates that the average administration times for
baseline and follow-up child interviews take longer than the
initial 80-minute estimate and instead take 105 and 90 minutes,
respectively. This is largely due to higher administration times
among adolescents in comparison to younger children. The team
examined the protocols to ensure that only necessary information is
included.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
