    Title: National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being.
    OMB No.: 0970-0202.
    Description: This longitudinal survey provides national estimates 
on the characteristics related to children and fami8lies who enter the 
child welfare system. It has collected data from a cohort of 6,100 
children who entered the child welfare system as a result of a CPS 
investigation between October 1999 and April 2001. Data were collected 
from the children themselves, their caregivers, their teachers, and 
their caseworkers at baseline, with follow-ups at 12 and 18 months 
post-baseline. The current request is to pursue a 36-month follow-up, 
essentially replicating the measure that were used at baseline and at 
the 18-month follow-up.
    Respondents: Children who are clients of the child welfare system, 
their primary caregivers, caseworkers, and teachers.
