NSCAW II will collect information on a second cohort of a nationally representative, longitudinal survey of children and families who are investigated for a report of child maltreatment. Information is to be collected directly from children, their caregivers, caseworkers and teachers to focus on children's functioning, well-being, and service utilization.
US Code:
42 USC 628b
Name of Law: Child Welfare Study
The requested increase in burden association with this wave 3, 36 month follow-up, of data collection is driven by the increased availability of funds which allows for targeting the full sample, as compared to earlier collections that reflect only a smaller subsample.
