Proposed Project

    State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) (The 
National Survey of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Attention Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder and Tourette Syndrome) (NS-DATA), (OMB No. 0920-
0406, Expiration 04/30/2014)--Discretionary--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. 
242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the 
extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the 
United States. This discretionary submission is to notify the public of 
a request to initiate another project within the SLAITS mechanism.
    SLAITS is an integrated and coordinated survey system that has been 
conducted since 1997, in accordance with the 1995 initiative to 
increase the integration of surveys within DHHS. It is designed to 
collect needed health and well-being data at the national, state, and 
local levels. Using the large sampling frame of the ongoing National 
Immunization Survey (NIS) and Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing 
(CATI), and when necessary independent samples, mail, and Internet 
modes to support data collection activities, SLAITS has quickly 
collected and produced household and person-level data to monitor 
health-related areas. Questionnaire content is drawn from existing 
surveys within DHHS and other Federal agencies, or developed 
specifically to meet project sponsor needs.
    This project consists of a national survey designed to collect 
information about families with children who have previously been 
diagnosed with either Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) 
and/or Tourette Syndrome (TS). The primary goal of the study is to 
describe the various pathways to diagnosis and treatments for children 
diagnosed with either condition. The survey contains questions on 
diagnosis history, the presence of co-occurring disorders, medication 
and treatment usage, as well as academic performance and symptom 
measures.
    Approximately 3,700 parents or guardians of children previously 
diagnosed with ADHD and/or TS located throughout the United States will 
be interviewed. The annual burden hours requested is 1,850 hours or 0.5 
hours per respondent. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated 
at $38,850 or $10.50 per respondent.
