Proposed Projects

1. The State and Local Area Integrated

Survey (SLAITS)—(0920–0406) The

Health Resources and Services

Administration/Maternal and Child

Health Bureau, in partnership with the

National Center for Health Statistics

(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) is conducting a new

national survey on children with special

health care needs (CSHCN) to be

conducted in all states and the District

of Columbia. The survey is part of

NCHS’s State and Local Area Integrated

Telephone Survey (SLAITS), a

telephone survey platform which uses

the National Immunization Survey

sample frame and was described in a

Federal Register notice dated October

22, 1998 (Volume 63, Number 204,

pages 56654–56655). This collection of

data is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k.

The survey will provide, for the first

time, uniform national and state-specific

data on CSHCN prevalence and impact.

In addition, the survey will provide

baseline estimates for federal and state

performance measures, the year 2010

national prevention objectives, and data

for each State’s Title V five-year needs

assessment. Health care coverage

information will be collected on

children with and without special

health care needs. Those without any

health care coverage will be asked a

brief set of questions about their

familiarity with the State Children’s

Health Insurance Program.

A screening interview will be

completed with parents and guardians

in randomly selected households in

order to identify children (0–17 years of

age) with special health care needs. This

initial screening interview will include

a brief battery of questions about the

presence of special health care needs, as

well as demographic questions needed

to manage the sample design and

estimation process. Approximately 14%

to 18% of the screened children are

expected to have a special health care

need. When a child is identified with a

special need, a 15-minute supplemental

interview will be completed, including

questions on demographics and

household income; health and

functional status; health insurance;

adequacy of health care coverage; access

to care; utilization of care; care

coordination; satisfaction with care; and

impact on the family. For screened

children who do not have special health

care needs, a sub-sample of parents and

guardians will complete a short

supplemental interview on health

insurance so that state-specific estimates

of health insurance coverage for all

children can be produced.

Screening interviews will be

conducted with about 3,400 families in

each state with a goal of identifying 750

children with special health care needs.

This sample size will permit accurate

and reliable state-level estimates of the

prevalence of special health care needs

and of associated characteristics such as

insurance coverage. State samples of

3,000 children without special health

care needs will be asked health

insurance coverage questions and about

26,000 families will be asked SCHIP

awareness questions. The survey is

scheduled to begin in July, 2000, and

will remain in the field for 12 months.

There is no dollar cost to respondents.

The approved burden budget for

SLAITS includes the burden hours for

this survey. The total burden hours are

estimated at 34,819.

1. Preventive Health and Health

Application and Reports (0920–0106)—

Extension—The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC), National

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention

and Health Promotion—In 1997, the

Office of Management and Budget

approved the collection of information

provided in the grant applications and

annual reports for the Preventive Health

and Health Services Block Grant (0920–

0106). This approval expires on

November 30, 2000. CDC is requesting

an extension of OMB clearance for this

legislatively mandated information

collection until November 30, 2001. The

extension is limited to one year to allow

for the development and adherence to

Healthy People 2010 to be released the

Spring of 2000. The Preventive Health

and Health Services Block Grant is

mandated according to section 1904 to

adhere to the Healthy People

framework, therefore, the current

application and report format will be

restructured to coincide with 2010 and

resubmitted for OMB clearance at that

time.

This information collected through

the applications from the official State

health agencies is required from section

1905 of the Public Health Service Act.

There is no change in the proposed

information collection from previous

years. The information collected from

the annual reports is required by section

1906, specifically the requirement for

uniform data sets matching the uses of

funds. The total estimated annual

burden is 5490 hours.
