Proposed Project 

Rapid Surveys System (RSS) Round 4 

(OMB Control No. 0920–1408)— 

National Center for Health Statistics 

(NCHS) Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (HHS), 

acting through NCHS, collect data about 

the health of the population of the 

United States. The RSS (OMB control 

No. 0920–1408) collects data on 

emerging public health topics, attitudes, 

and behaviors using cross-sectional 

samples from two commercially 

available, national probability-based 

online panels. The RSS then combines 

these data to form estimates that 

approximate national representation in 

ways that many data collection 

approaches cannot. The RSS collects 

data in contexts in which decision 

makers’ need for time-sensitive data of 

known quality about emerging and 

priority health concerns is a higher 

priority than their need for statistically 

unbiased estimates. 

The RSS complements NCHS’s 

current household survey systems. As 

quicker turnaround surveys that require 

less accuracy and precision than CDC’s 

more rigorous population representative 

surveys, the RSS incorporates multiple 

mechanisms to carefully evaluate the 

resulting survey data for their 

appropriateness for use in public health 

surveillance and research (e.g., 

hypothesis generating) and facilitate 

continuous quality improvement by 

supplementing these panels with 

intensive efforts to understand how well 

the estimates reflect populations at most 

risk. The RSS data dissemination 

strategy communicates the strengths and 

limitations of data collected through 

online probability panels as compared 

to more robust data collection methods. 

The RSS has three major goals: (1) to 

provide CDC and other partners with 

time-sensitive data of known quality 

about emerging and priority health 

concerns; (2) to use these data 

collections to continue NCHS’s 

evaluation of the quality of public 

health estimates generated from 

commercial online panels; and (3) to 

improve methods to communicate the 

appropriateness of public health 

estimates generated from commercial 

online panels. 

The RSS is designed to have four 

rounds of data collection each year with 

data being collected by two contractors 

with probability panels. A crosssectional nationally representative 

sample will be drawn from the online 

probability panel maintained by each of 

the contractors. As part of the base 

(minimum sample size), each round of 

data collection will collect 2,000 

responses per quarter. The RSS can be 

expanded by increasing the number of 

completed responses per round or the 

number of rounds per year as needed up 

to a maximum of 28,000 responses per 

year per contractor or 56,000 total 

responses per year. Additionally, each 

data collection may include up to 2,000 

additional responses per quarter (8,000 

for the year) to improve 

representativeness. This increases the 

maximum burden by up to 16,000 

responses per year. The RSS may also 

target individual surveys to collect data 

only from specific subgroups within 

existing survey panels and may 

supplement data collection for such 

groups with additional respondents 

from other probability or nonprobability 

samples. An additional 12,000 

responses per year may be used for 

these developmental activities. 

Each round’s questionnaire will 

consist of four main components: (1) 

basic demographic information on 

respondents to be used as covariates in 

analyses; (2) new, emerging, or 

supplemental content proposed by 

NCHS, other CDC Centers, Institute, and 

Offices, and other HHS agencies; (3) 

questions used for calibrating the survey 

weights; and (4) additional content 

selected by NCHS to evaluate against 

relevant benchmarks. NCHS will use 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
12346 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 33 / Friday, February 16, 2024 / Notices 

questions from Components 1 and 2 to 

provide relevant, timely data on new, 

emerging, and priority health topics to 

be used for decision making. NCHS will 

use questions from Components 3 and 4 

to weight and evaluate the quality of the 

estimates coming from questions in 

Components 1 and 2. Components 1 and 

2 will contain different topics in each 

round of the survey. NCHS submits a 

30-day Federal Register Notice with 

information on the contents of each 

round of data collection. 

NCHS calibrates survey weights from 

the RSS to gold standard surveys. 

Questions used for calibration in this 

round of RSS will include marital 

status, employment, social and work 

limitations, use of the internet in 

general and for medical reasons, 

telephone use, civic engagement, and 

language used at home and in other 

settings. All of these questions have 

been on the National Health Interview 

Survey (NHIS) in prior years allowing 

calibration to these data. 

Finally, all RSS rounds will include 

several questions that were previously 

on NHIS or other NCHS surveys, or 

other suitable Federal surveys for 

benchmarking to evaluate data quality. 

Panelists in the RSS will be asked about 

health status; chronic conditions; 

pregnancy; disability and age of 

disability onset; health insurance 

through an employer; healthcare access 

and utilization; mental health; mental 

health care utilization; and health 

behaviors. 

Rapid Surveys System (RSS) will 

include content on psychological 

aggression by intimate partners, sexual 

violence, technology-facilitated sexual 

violence, emerging coercive control by 

intimate partners, and traumatic brain 

injury because of intimate partner 

violence. 

In Round 4, the RSS will be used as 

a methodological study to test the 

ability to obtain data on intimate partner 

violence-related topics via web panel 

survey. In addition, RSS Round 4 offers 

the opportunity for developmental work 

to develop questions using a split 

sample to compare current NISVS 

questions and modified questions to 

evaluate different wording and question 

formats and to develop new 

questionnaire content related to 

understudied domains of intimate 

partner violence. The estimated total 

annual burden hours for the three-year 

approval period remains at 28,079 

burden hours. The NCHS RSS Round 4 

(2024) data collection is based on 13,100 

complete surveys (4,367 hours). There 

are no costs to respondents other than 

their time.
