    Proposed Project: National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle 6 Main 
Study--New--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The National Survey of Family 
Growth has been conducted periodically since 1973 by the National 
Center for Health Statistics, CDC. The first five cycles of the NSFG 
were based on interviews with women 15-44 years of age, to measure 
factors related to birth and pregnancy rates and maternal and infant

health. In Cycle 6, both women and men will be interviewed. The 
interviews with males 15-44 will address (1) Factors that affect entry 
into marriage, cohabitation, and fatherhood; (2) factors that affect 
the spread of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and HIV (Human 
Immunodeficiency Virus, the virus that causes AIDS); and (3) factors 
that affect men's ability and willingness to carry out their fatherhood 
roles, including child support.
    In 2002, the NSFG will interview a nationally representative sample 
of 11,500 women and 7,500 men 15-44 years of age. Black, Hispanic, and 
15-24-year-old men and women will be sampled at a higher rate than 
others. A pretest has been conducted. All participation is completely 
voluntary and confidential. NSFG data help measure the demographics, 
health status, and behavior of the population of reproductive age (as 
well as those responsible for most STDs). The NSFG data from the 1995 
survey have already been published in more than 60 published NCHS 
reports and articles in scientific journals. Besides NCHS, users of 
NSFG data include the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) 
Office of Population Affairs, the National Institute for Child Health 
and Human Development, the CDC HIV/AIDS Prevention program, the CDC's 
Division of Reproductive Health, the Office of the Assistant Secretary 
for Planning and Evaluation (OASPE), and the Children's Bureau. Other 
users include Congress (for Section 905 of the Personal Responsibility 
and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, among others); the 
Healthy People 2000 and 2010 initiatives; private researchers in 
demography, public health, maternal and child health, and state 
governments. The total annual burden for this data collection is 27,624 
hours.
