2007 Survey of Adult Transition and Health (SATH)

OVERVIEW

The State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) mechanism is conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under OMB clearance number 0920-0406 (expires 11/30/07). This generic clearance allows NCHS to collect health and well-being data on children, families, and communities over a three year period with abbreviated clearance packages submitted for individual projects.

NCHS is applying for permission to conduct the SLAITS 2007 Survey of Adult Transition and Health (SATH). The purpose of this project is primarily to determine the feasibility of calling telephone numbers from a much earlier survey, and will also capture current health status data for subjects identified in the 2001 SLAITS National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN). Considered a pilot, this project will identify target areas for improvement in future followback modules.

Although SLAITS modules typically use the National Immunization Survey’s list-assisted Random-Digit-Dial (RDD) sample, the SATH will not follow this traditional protocol. Rather than use a new sample, SATH will followback households that contained a child with special health care needs between the ages of 14 and 17 years as identified in the 2001 NS-CSHCN. The subject of the initial interview is now a young adult between 19 and 23 years old who will serve as the respondent for SATH. As a second component of this pilot test, SATH respondents have the option of participating in the survey using the Internet or landline or cellular telephones.

The SATH is sponsored by the DHHS Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which officially administers the Federal Title V maternal and child health block grant program. SLAITS data collection is conducted under contract with National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago (NORC).

The SATH is scheduled to be fielded from early June through early August 2007. Project funds must be spent by September 30, 2007.

The content of the 2007 interview focuses on the impact of having adequate health-related transition services and a ‘Medical Home’ (MH) as promulgated by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) at baseline (2001) on selected health and well-being outcome measures at time 2 (2007). Two secondary content-related research questions include:

If a child with special health care needs receives good health-related transition services in adolescence (time 1), does this translate into good health and well-being outcomes in adulthood (time 2)?

If a child with special health care needs receives adequate care under the “Medical Home” paradigm in adolescence (time 1), does this translate into good health and well-being outcomes in adulthood (time 2)?

No additional annualized burden hours are requested to complete this project.

A. Justification

1. Circumstances Making the Collection of Information Necessary

This pilot survey will target selected cases from the 2001 NS-CSHCN who were between 14 and 17 years of age, and identified as children with special health care needs (CSHCN, using the MCHB definition^¹) which states:

“Children with special health care needs are those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.”

The determination of CSHCN status was based on having at least one of five consequence-based criteria (prescription medication use, above average service use, functional limitations, use of mental health services, and use or need for specialized therapies).

In 2002, the journal Pediatrics published a consensus statement approved by the boards of the three medical professional organizations^² to define ‘transition’ for these children:

“..For many young people with special health care needs, this will mean a transfer from a child to an adult health care professional; for many others, it will involve an ongoing relationship with the same provider but with a reorientation of clinical interactions to mirror the young person’s increasing maturity and emerging adulthood. Whether the transition entails a transfer of care or not, all adults with special health care needs deserve an adult focused primary care physician… physicians have an important role in facilitating transitions to adulthood and to adult health care for young people who are least likely to successfully do it on their own.”

It further describes the characteristics of a transition from a physician who treats children to one who treats adults as:

“…a dynamic lifelong process that seeks to meet their individual needs as they move from childhood to adulthood. The goal is to maximize lifelong functioning and potential through the provision of high-quality, developmentally appropriate health care services that continue uninterrupted as the individual moves from adolescence to adulthood. It is patient centered, and its cornerstones are flexibility, responsiveness, continuity, comprehensiveness, and coordination. ….”

Characteristics of health-related transition and MH services for CSHCN are listed in Table 1 below. Currently no data source exists to assess these measures other than the NS-CSHCN, and outcome data are unavailable. This descriptive dataset will represent a wide swath of young adults with special health care needs who have varying severity of conditions, activity limitations, and disabilities.

Table 1. Characteristics of health-related transition and MH services.

Construct	Key characteristics of this core outcome
Medical Home	CSHCN will receive coordinated ongoing comprehensive care within a Medical Home. Child had a usual source of care Child had a personal doctor or nurse Child had no problems obtaining referrals when needed Effective care coordination was received when needed The child received family-centered care
Transition	Youths with special health care needs will receive the services necessary to make transitions to adult life, including adult health care, work, and independence. Child has received guidance and support in transition to adulthood: Doctors have talked about changing needs as child becomes an adult Child has plan for addressing changing needs Doctors discussed shift to adult provider Child has received vocational or career training (this component will not be examined in the 2007 survey)

Construct

Key characteristics of this core outcome

Medical Home

CSHCN will receive coordinated ongoing comprehensive care within a Medical Home.

Child had a usual source of care
Child had a personal doctor or nurse
Child had no problems obtaining referrals when needed
Effective care coordination was received when needed
The child received family-centered care

Transition

Youths with special health care needs will receive the services necessary to make transitions to adult life, including adult health care, work, and independence.

Child has received guidance and support in transition to adulthood:
Doctors have talked about changing needs as child becomes an adult
Child has plan for addressing changing needs
Doctors discussed shift to adult provider
Child has received vocational or career training (this component will not be examined in the 2007 survey)

The lack of descriptive outcome data for MH and transition services can be explained from several perspectives. From a medical perspective, CSHCN are living longer due to advancements over time in medical care, procedures and technology, and design of durable medical equipment. In the past, a smaller percentage of these youth survived to adulthood; therefore, outcomes research as the adolescent transitioned into adulthood was not seen as critically important. The dearth of transition-related literature is in part a result of the decentralization of transition service planning, programs, and services. From a political perspective, the lack of data may reflect the delicate balance that must be maintained in the appropriation process between the finite amount of money available for data collection and emergent maternal and child health data needs that may supplant previously identified research priorities. From a methodological perspective, identifying appropriate populations can be difficult. This difficulty may be further compounded by the severity and type of special health care need(s), functional limitation, or disability the adult experiences. For example, the adult may have a cognitive or physical barrier that may require additional flexibility or alterations in the mode of survey administration, instrument, or procedures^³; or his/her special health care need(s) may require collection of data from a proxy respondent instead directly from the adult.^⁴

2. Purpose and Use of the Information Collection

This pilot project will:

test procedures to locate and interview a typically mobile, transient, notoriously difficult-to-locate-and-survey, but important population subgroup,
use various data collection modes, and if successful,
provide outcome data at time 2 (2007) on the impact of having health-related transition services and a MH at the time of first interview (2001).

This survey will also allow us to research factors related to developmental objective 16-22 as articulated in the DHHS Healthy People 2010 initiative:

“(to) increase the proportion of children with special health care needs who have access to a medical home”^⁵.

Efforts to Identify Duplication & Use of Similar Information

Comparable national and state estimates of CSHCN transition and MH using the MCHB CSHCN definition are available only from the 2001 SLAITS NS-CSHCN and 2005 – 2006 SLAITS NS-CSHCN (data available this summer). These surveys are about children under age 18 years so there is no source of data on young adults.

To create the instrument listed in Attachment 3 (page 65), ten major surveys conducted by numerous Federal departments were examined for suitable content, as were materials from the Cornell University Employment and Disability Institute, the Western Michigan University Transition Research Institute, and the National Resource Center for Healthy and Ready to Work Programs (NRCHRTWP, also sponsored by MCHB). At least two of these surveys provide previously unavailable nationally representative cross-sectional data, but they focused solely on disabled children with more severe functional limitations than CSHCN. While states and local areas may conduct their own surveys of programs, these data are not nationally comparable.

The SATH instrument also includes questions previously used in other large national studies (such as verbatim questions pulled from the 2001 NS-CSHCN survey instrument, as we intend to compare 2001 and 2007 interview data), or taken verbatim or modified from other large surveys (as needed). Other SATH questions were written specifically for this implementation.

Instrument sections are listed below and contain questions on the following:

Health and Functional Status

General health status
Activity limitations – daily living
Activity limitations – work
Activity limitations – school
Activity limitations – taking care of house or family

Medical Home

Usual place for care
Continuous screening
Foregone or delayed care
Care coordination
Person-centered care

Transition services related to health
Community-based services
Health Insurance Coverage

Current coverage and past year coverage
Adequacy of health insurance
Transition services related to school

Self-determination
Satisfaction and support
Demographics

Marital status and living arrangements
Personal earnings and program participation

8. Efforts to Consult Outside the Agency

To develop the questionnaire, technical and content experts from CDC, MCHB, and other MCHB-funded programs worked collaboratively with expert researchers from the health policy, pediatrics, CSHCN, methodology, and measurement fields as well as representatives of a non-profit family advocacy group to identify appropriate survey content.

9. Explanation of any Payment or Gift to Respondents

We plan to offer a cash monetary incentive of $20 to eligible respondents who participate in the SATH interview for two reasons. First, this age group is notoriously hard to contact. A monetary incentive may provide a small incentive to participate. Second, the available sample is very small and we need to use every means possible to maximize the number of completed interviews. In addition, it is likely that some respondents will choose to respond using a cellular telephone, or this could be the only contact information we have to reach the eligible respondent. Cases completed using a cellular telephone will receive an additional cash incentive of $5 (for a maximum of $25) to defray the direct cost of conducting the interview using their allotment of cellular minutes. Although we will contact the eligible respondent via (his/her) cellular telephone number if it is the only contact information we are given, we will strongly encourage them to complete the interview either over the web or landline telephone.

We must address cellular telephone interviewing due to the profusion of these phones among persons in the target age range. Table 2 presents recent data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for interviews completed January through June 2006. During that period, almost one-quarter of young adults reported living in a cell phone only household. If we did not include an option to contact and interview respondents on their cellular telephones, we could introduce a significant amount of bias into our estimates.

Table 2: Household telephone status among adults ages 18 to 24 years (at the time of the interview).*

Household telephone status	Percentage (18 to 24 year olds)
Landline - with cell phone	46.3%
Landline - no cell phone	18.9%
Landline - unknown cell phone status	8.1%
No landline - unknown cell phone status	1.0%
Cell phone only	22.6%
No phone service	3.0%

Estimates of Annualized Burden Hours

Estimated number of participants

The 2007 starting sample overview is shown in Table 3 on the next page. All 10,933 possible cases will be released for initial locating and contacting processes. The cases will then be flagged as either ‘imperative’ or ‘standard’. The children who in 2001 were receiving all the necessary transition services (N=674) are a minority of cases but because of their importance to this study, they will receive the most intensive locating protocol (extended web-based and phone treatments, as well as expert teams of locating, interviewing, and refusal conversion staffers assigned). For distinction purposes, they are considered “imperative” cases while all others are considered “standard” cases.

The 2001 survey was not originally designed as a followback survey, and because we have no prior experience locating subjects under these circumstances, we are unsure of exactly how many subjects we will locate in 2007. Due to the lack of positively identified address information prior to first re-contact with the household, an advance letter cannot be sent. However, we will be able to send, fax, or email a ‘recruitment’ text to verify the survey or give eligible respondents and others more information upon request (eligible respondent version in Attachment 4i, page 90; the ‘more general’ version for persons other than the eligible respondent in Attachment 4ii, page 93).

Table 3. Starting sample sizes & characteristics for 2007 survey subgroups.

	‘Imperative cases’	‘Standard cases’
Definition	2001 CSHCN completed cases where it was reported the child received all transition services	All other 2001 CSHCN completed cases
Sample size (total n)	674	10,259
Projected percentage of 2001 completed cases that are able to be located	60%	40%
Projected percentage of 2001 cases that are able to complete the SATH	50%	40%
Targeted minimum goal: number of completed cases in 2007	200	1,641
Minimum expected completed interviews	1,841

Table 4 on the next page illustrates the projected annualized burden of the 2007 SATH, a 15 minute interview. The total sample size is 10,933 CSHCN cases; 674 of these are considered ‘imperative’ and received all transition services. The remaining 10,259 cases are all of the other age-eligible CSHCN cases.

We project that we will be able to locate 60% of the SATH-eligible imperative cases, and 40% of the SATH-eligible standard cases. Once located, we estimate that 50% of the imperative cases will complete the SATH interview, compared to 40% of the standard cases.

The burden listed in Table 4 is based on these percentages, resulting in completion of an estimated 200 imperative cases and 1,641 standard cases; for a grand total of 1,841 completed SATH interviews for this pilot project.

Table 4. Projected annualized burden estimate, 2007 SATH.

Respondents	Number of respondents	Number of responses per respondent	Average burden per response (in hours)	Total burden hours
Locating process: 2001 respondents	10,933	1	3 / 60	547
Locating process: ‘leads’ or persons other than the 2001 respondent who may have contact information for the SATH-eligible respondent	1,500	1	3 / 60	75
SATH respondents	1,841	1	15 / 60	460
TOTAL PROJECTED BURDEN HOURS				1,082

The burden for the total 2007 SATH is 1,082 hours. These hours are part of the total burden already approved for 2005, that is, 55,190 annualized burden hours. We are NOT requesting an increase in the number of annualized burden hours.

16. Plans for Tabulation & Publication & Project Time Schedule

The unweighted and unedited data will be examined by the contractor and NCHS for logic, consistency, and flow. Frequencies of all variables will be reviewed to ensure the data meet our expectations. The timing of sections and subsections will be reviewed. We also plan to assess the success of the locating process, in part by monitoring the number of eligible SATH respondents we are able to successfully locate and level of effort.

Initial data analyses of SLAITS surveys focus on baseline descriptive runs, and assess data quality, methods, and substantive measures. Item non-response rates will be examined to evaluate the potential sensitive nature of specific questions. A high frequency of “refused” responses or interview break-off points might indicate questionable validity for an individual question. Interviewers are debriefed periodically to identify anecdotes with the questionnaire (comprehension, expectations, skip patterns, insufficient response categories), and procedures. NCHS and NORC personnel periodically attend and/or conduct these group and individual interviewer debriefings.

After the initial data quality assessment, cross tabulations of primary categories of dependent variables with categories of independent variables examine common themes and various premises. Due to projected data limitations such as small cell sizes, it is unlikely that we will be able to perform multivariate analyses using SATH data. Table 5 on the next page lists the proposed project time schedule.

Table 5. Proposed project time schedule, 2007 SATH.

Activity	Date
Instrument content & layout finalized	March 1, 2007
Continued to more precisely define the locating procedures and scripts	March - April 2007
Solicit & obtain appropriate project clearances NCHS Research Ethics Review Board NORC Institutional Review Board Office of Management and Budget	April – May 2007
Data collection	Early June – Early August 2007
Assess locating procedures and data quality (observe interviews, review preliminary data, debrief interviewers)	Ongoing process throughout data collection period
Internal files delivered to NCHS	late September 2007
Data collection and delivery activities must be completed by the contractor	end of the Federal fiscal year, September 30, 2007
Data analysis	Ongoing

Due to the compressed schedule and small sample size, there is no pretest for this survey. After completing the first week of the survey, SLAITS and NORC staff will review and assess procedures, debrief interviews, observe interviews, and examine early data to determine whether any procedures need to be modified.

If there are no disclosure risks and the data are of sufficient quality, a SATH public use file (PUF) will be prepared and cleared through the NCHS Disclosure Review Board (DRB). Preparation for this would begin in October 2007. If it is determined the SATH PUF cannot be produced, a confidential data file will be prepared for use through the NCHS Research Data Center (RDC). The RDC provides restricted access to researchers (who meet certain qualifications) to confidential NCHS data in a secure environment, without jeopardizing the confidentiality of respondents. More information on the policies and procedures of the NCHS RDC can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/r&d/rdc.htm.

B. Statistical Methods

1. Respondent Universe & Sampling Methods

The 2001 frame was linked to the National Immunization Survey (NIS) sampling frame. The 2007 SATH, however, employs a convenience or purposive sample and will have no link to the current NIS.

The universe from which the original 2001 sample was drawn is all US households with landline telephones. The SATH universe consists of 14 to 17 year old CSHCN cases identified in the 2001 NS-CSHCN and are now adults 19 to 23 years old. Details of the SATH sample frame are listed in Table 4 on page 9. The 2007 survey will only be conducted in English.

For 2001 cases completed using TTY or RELAY systems, we will leave a message with their answering system (if any) to contact NORC using a toll free number connected to a TTY machine to complete the interview.

To the best of our knowledge, the main difficulty is having an old phone number to locate someone who can provide valid contact information, and then locating the eligible young adult respondent. Due to the complexity of the locating process (described below), only very experienced personnel will be assigned to this project. Their advanced level of experience will allow them to better identify households that may need to be contacted using special procedures such as the TTY.

If a 2001 sampled telephone number connects to a household or business and the person on the phone states that he/she knows nothing about the 2001 interview or person who is now 19-23 years old, the call will be terminated and sent back to locating. If a person at the 2001 number refuses to provide any contact information for the eligible respondent, all contact will cease.

Cellular telephone numbers will be dialed by hand (not auto dialed).

2. Procedures for the Collection of Information

Advance letter

An advance letter will not be sent due to projected low match rates of addresses prior to contact and the condensed time period of data collection. We also do not want to alert what may be the wrong household about an upcoming government survey.

Locating the 2001 sampled children

The 2001 procedures did not assume a followback survey; consequently, we have only the 2001 telephone number for the parent or guardian, the child’s birth date or age at interview for the majority of cases, and possibly, the child’s first name. We have established procedures to locate the survey subjects under various assumptions ranging from: living at home with their parents, to the parents and survey subject have moved in the interim and do not live together.

The SATH locating protocol (Attachment 6ii, page 104) is based on procedures (and uses the same experienced staff) as the Provider Record Check (PRC) component of the NIS that locates and contacts health care providers across the country to verify parent-reported immunization data. The SLAITS contractor will use commercial databases available to government, legal, risk management, law enforcement, and commercial customers with legitimate uses to locate current contact information for the respondents.

Experienced trained locators (who are also highly trained and experienced telephone interviewers) will call the 2001 sampled telephone numbers. The computerized system will keep track of the outcome of each call. Locators will maintain detailed notes on each number dialed and its outcome. The computer also captures the date, time of day, and length of call. Refusal cases are tabulated separately with detail as to the timing and nature of the refusal.

Figure 1 (next page) summarizes the locating and introductory processes.

2001 R is available

Complete SATH interview with eligible respondent directly

Data collection methods

Once the 2001 respondent is located, the locator will collect current contact information about the eligible SATH respondent. The 2001 respondent is free to give as much or as little contact information as they wish to share. This includes his/her name (first, middle, and last), nickname, or initials; phone numbers (each number will be queried if the number is cellular or residential); email (personal, business, or school); street and mailing address; residence type (private, dorm, etc.); and date of birth or age (confirmation). We are unsure of the specific nature of the contact information that will be supplied; therefore, we have taken many possible contact scenarios into account when designing the scripts and procedures. We will offer respondents the option of completing the survey over the telephone or over the Internet. CATI and web survey introduction and exit scripts, as well as proposed screening and locating text, can be found in Attachments 1 and 2 (pages 17 and 26 respectively).

Separate procedures are in place to collect information for ‘leads’ who may know how to locate the 2001 respondent if he/she cannot be located. We plan to ask for contact information for persons who may know how to locate the 2001 respondent and/or the 2007 eligible respondent. If the locators are successful at obtaining valid contact information, the initial contact of the eligible young adult may occur via (his/her) cellular phone(s), landline telephone(s), email address, addresses, and/or fax number(s).

Telephone

If we contact the eligible young adult by telephone, we will encourage him/her to complete the interview over the telephone immediately so we do not risk losing the case. A web-based internet application has been developed to collect data in lieu of the traditional computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) program that we have used consistently for other SLAITS modules. This allows us to streamline instrument development and reduce the amount of preparation time because only one version of the survey will need to be constructed regardless of mode, instead of having to construct a CATI-version and a web version. More information on the data collection program and web data collection is available in Attachment 6iii (page 107).

Internet

Eligible SATH respondents who wish to complete the survey over the web will be mailed (or emailed) a letter that contains a link to a website which will display a screen with the information below, as well as a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and password to enter (Attachment 7i, page 114). Reminder letters for potential web participants will be sent or emailed as needed (Attachment 7ii, page 115).

3. Methods to Maximize Response Rates and Deal with Nonresponse

Thorough locating techniques by experience personnel will help us make as many positive contacts as possible. Callbacks and reminders will be conducted to the extent the ERB allows. Finally, token incentives will be provided to those who elect to participate in the interview. Traditional response rates are not appropriate for this non-probability sample. Because we have not attempted this survey design in the past, we are unsure as to how many definite matches we will be able to confirm.

Ongoing analysis will be conducted to evaluate the extent to which nonresponse and other biases are impacting the quality of the data being collected. Examination of expected demographic characteristics, interview break-offs, and other qualitative and quantitative measures will be constantly reviewed and assessed. Should changes to the survey design be warranted, proper clearances will be sought.

(Flesch Kincaid Reading Level is 8.0)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are conducting the Survey of Adult Transition and Health (SATH) and we need your help to make it a success. This study focuses the quality of health care -- a topic of interest for millions of households across the country. We are particularly interested in:

the well-being of young adults and the quality of their health insurance coverage
the type of health care and services available for people moving into adulthood
the impact of young adult health and health care on their families

Local, state, and federal officials depend on the results of this study to measure well-being and the status of healthcare as members of our population move into adulthood. This study will provide information about young adults and their families which will help to guide policy makers, advocates, and researchers. Although participation is completely voluntary and there is no penalty for not answering a question, we hope you will agree to help us. Answers to this study may help shape programs in the years ahead.

This study is authorized by the U.S. Public Health Service Act. It (and other federal laws) protect your information; we will take all possible steps to protect your privacy. The information you report will only be used for statistical research.

Attachment 6i.

NORC protocol for physical and network security

Physical Security/Facilities

NORC enforces a variety of physical security measures across all facilities, and ensure that access to all confidential data are restricted to only those employees that posses both the need and proper authorization to review such information. A keycard, key access, or human monitoring system (often times a combination of one or more may be used) restricts access to every facility.

All server rooms, wiring closets, and network ports on the Wide Area Network (WAN) (with the exception of dial-up users) are located behind locked doors within the boundaries of a secure area inside the facility with restricted access to designated persons.
All data collection and processing sites are located in restricted areas that are readily protected by either security systems, including video cameras and the aforementioned keycard systems or human monitors.
Project-specific servers protect data and data access, which is only granted to members of project teams by Information Technology (IT) staff. The IT staff also maintains locked and secured filing and data storage facilities, and each of the project-specific, password-protected portal sites.
Individually identifiable data on hard copy documents is captured electronically, separated from the questionnaire, and disposed of in accordance with project-specific instructions. When physical copies must be retained or are not in use, they are stored in locked file cabinets that are accessible only to authorized project staff.

Network Data Security

Internal network storage is provided for each project to mitigate the potential of data loss due to accidents, computer equipment malfunction, failure, or human error; and to administer access rights.

Production file servers are equipped with fault tolerant disk arrays and redundant power supplies to minimize the risk of losing valuable project data. These data are protected by surge suppression and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).
All operating system vendors are routinely monitored by a designated IT infrastructure resource monitor for security patches with all updates applied as necessary. Data transfers to removable media for purposes of client delivery or archival is performed by the IT department to control data formatting and provide assurance that the media is readable by the client. This also gives the IT department the opportunity to scan the deliverables for viruses while maintaining detailed shipping manifests and receipts of all deliveries.
All authorized network users are issued a user-id and password which must be used to sign into each of the project applications and data areas located on the network. Employees are required to change their server passwords on a regular basis.
The installation of any software package on a computer is controlled, and requires successful completion of a through software review and approval process.
Remote access into the network is performed through NORC’s firewall using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A firewall and a packet filtering router have been set to protect each NORC Internet Access Point, and a designated NORC IT infrastructure resource is employed to monitor the Local Area Network (LAN) and WAN for signs of intrusion and other security violations. Host-based applications such as FTP and web servers are run only on servers inside the data center, and are separate from servers designated to store and collect client data.
Connectivity between all sites is protected by dedicated data circuits. Any data that are placed on any public networks is encrypted. There is also a dedicated IT resource to maintain a software package that proactively searches for security holes and recommends fixes in a timely manner.
NORC routinely engages third-parties to conduct network security audits, which includes comprehensive attempts at network penetration from undisclosed sources and a review of policies and procedures.

Application Security

All applications that manage case, response, and corporate financial data protect against unauthorized access and restrict authorized access to the minimum necessary level.

User Rights

Once logged into the application system, each user-id is assigned a ‘rights mask’ that allows the user access only to limited views of data.

Case-Level Security

Unique case identifiers are used to create a partition between response data, and data that could be used to identify an individual.

Encryption Key Management

All applications used in any environment outside of the WAN are required to use digital certificates that encrypt data using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology (where applicable).

Electronic Data Transfer External to NORC

Should a project obligation require that data be electronically transmitted to or from the secure private network, encryption technology will be used.

Access Control / Authentication

All attempts to access data are logged by the hosting server for review.

Employee Exit

Human Resources (HR) and IT coordinate so that user accounts are deactivated upon employee exit. An exit interview checklist of security-related steps is utilized by both HR and IT.

Backup Procedures

All data that currently reside on the network is backed up on tape on a nightly basis. These tapes are stored in a secure, off-site location. Any information housed on these tapes is retrievable from the storage facility within 12 hours. All backups made for the purpose of disaster recovery have a retention period of one year. At the conclusion of a project, an archive is immediately created in strict accordance with contractual requirements. All archived project materials are stored off-site and easily accessible to staff.

Data Retrieval

Only a limited number of IT personnel are authorized to request the retrieval of these data tapes from the off-site location, and must follow an identification and authorization procedure.

Virus Protection

All systems are protected from computer viruses by extremely robust security features and procedures.

The technique of limiting user access to internal network data storage is designed specifically to minimize the possible impact of a virus that may breach virus protection software and procedures. Several actions are taken on a daily basis to prevent a virus from breaching the system.

Virus scans are completed routinely through the use of commercially available and automatically updated software.
Employee workstations are configured to automatically check all files that are used, including those coming from diskettes and email attachments, to ensure that they are not introducing viruses to the system.
Incoming email attachments are automatically screened on the email server for viruses, Trojan Horses, worms, and related malignant software.

Paper Records Storage and Security

Business records are kept to meet operating, historical, research, audit, and legal requirements. Records are only destroyed at the appropriate time.

Temporary Storage

Secured, general storage is referred to as the ‘cold storage area’. Any materials without respondent identifiers may be stored in cold storage to be easily accessible to project personnel. This space also serves as a staging area to access and inventory materials for permanent archiving. Paper files pertaining to project management are separated from production data and stored permanently at this location.

There are two locked “cages” available. Access is restricted to the records manager or librarian. All sensitive contracts, grants, personnel, and financial records are kept in one of these secure double locked areas.

Materials are stored in acid free cartons and are labeled with the project name and number, project supervisor name and telephone number, and projected destruction date. A list of contents for each box sent for storage must be provided, and materials will not be disposed of without contacting the appropriate personnel. Before storing hard copy survey materials, cartons are inventoried and contents are recorded. Requests for stored items are made to the records manager.

Long-Term Storage

Project directors may request that materials be stored on a more permanent basis at a remote storage area, and fulfills contractual obligations of records storage when limited access to records is required. We currently have a contract with O'Hare Record Retention Company (ORRC) in Cicero, Illinois. This facility has a sophisticated sprinkler system and a NORC-approved disaster plan in place. General access to the facility is limited to the records manager and NORC librarian. Should a site visit be required by either NORC personnel or our clients, we must provide the records manager at least 24 hours notice and submit a list of the planned visitors. ORRC requires that visitors provide proper identification and be accompanied by either the records manager or librarian. Space at the facility for the examination of materials is available for a reasonable fee.

All materials are inventoried and receive unique bar codes as identifiers before being delivered to ORRC, and a copy of the inventory is kept on the shared drive. Production materials may be sent directly to ORRC.

2007 SATH:

Detailed description of the locating process & database

Description of the database used in the locating process

Accurint is owned by LexisNexis (LN) which provides comprehensive and authoritative legal, public record, news, and business information and tailored applications, will be used to conduct the locating effort. LN does not collect personal financial, credit, or medical information.

The Accurint database is a widely used ‘locate-and-research’ tool and allow users to locate persons; track down telephone numbers with access to over 50,000,000 non-directory assistance records (including cellular telephone numbers); link over 132 million individuals to businesses and business contact information based on probable current and historical employment information; and includes a search tool to help find individuals when only old or fragmented data are available. This database is used by NORC to track participants in large nationally-representative longitudinal surveys such as the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Locators will enter the 2001 telephone number into the online Accurint system and obtain some level of information.

Description of the batch locating process

NORC will use Accurint for batch locating. For the SATH, NORC will have very limited information to start with. Using a batch submission, NORC will request a list of current household members as well as household members from 2001. This information from Accurint will be pre-loaded into the locating or Case Management System (CMS) as ‘leads’ (these systems are integrated). If a lead for each case does not turn into either a 2001 and/or 2007 contact, the case will re-enter the locating system. Incorrect contacts determined during CATI screening will also reenter the locating system. During this locating process NORC will use an unscripted approach to initially contact the household to locate the 2001 respondent. It would be impossible to write appropriate scripts that will address every possible scenario the locators will face when ‘cold calling’ the 2001 telephone numbers. When the eligible cases are located, interviewers will use a traditional scripted approach to recruit the case and give informed consent information.

The CMS has the ability to email or mail project information to respondents by case disposition codes. Eligible cases can be easily and efficiently flagged if they request information. Within the locating procedure, all ‘finalized’ cases go to the locating supervisors who assign disposition codes.

Once all telephone options to locate the case are exhausted, further searches will occur using the internet. These ‘web treatments’ will include the use of commonly available search engines such as Java Search and Google. These resources will only be used when needed, and certain components will be entered only by supervisors.

The children who in 2001 were receiving all the necessary transition services are a minority of cases but because of their importance to this study, they will receive more intensive locating protocol. They are considered “imperative” cases while all others are considered “standard” cases. Standard cases that cannot be located will be re-released to the locating staff for continued attempts to locate until the end of data collection. All locators are highly trained interviewers and are able to seamlessly segue into the 2007 interview if the proper person is located, is immediately available, and gives consent. Incorporated into the scripts and procedures is a recognition of the passage of time as well as the portability of telephone numbers in the interim period.

Training will clearly stipulate what criteria are authorized for search. Locators will also be thoroughly trained in what they are and are not allowed to tell people who may not be the intended household or respondent but answer their calls.

Only previously successful, professional, and very experienced locators and interviewers will be assigned to this project. Although we will encourage all respondents to respond via a landline phone or website, we will attempt to conduct the interview using a cellular phone if this is the only option.

The figure below summarizes the general process flow for the 2007 SATH. The shaded words in the boxes refer to either the position within the locating or interviewing process, or the relevant instrument scripts or sections.

2007 SATH:

Description of the program & process used for web data collection

A web-based internet application has been developed to collect data in lieu of the traditional computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) program that we have used consistently for other modules. It allows us to streamline instrument development and reduce the amount of preparation time because only one version of the survey will need to be constructed regardless of mode, instead of having to construct a CATI-version and a web version.

Specifically, NORC will extend the functionality of the CATI data collection program that is currently used to collect NIS/SLAITS data. This program has an option that allows it to capture data entry over the web. A web server will securely deliver content to the respondent. All questionnaire data (CATI and web) can be collected into one integrated data store for analysis.

For respondents who choose to complete the interview over the telephone, the identical web-based program will be used to collect the data; however, the interviewer will read the question over the telephone to the respondent and enter the response. The computer program guides the interviewer (or respondent) through the questionnaire (question by question and page by page), automatically routing the interviewer (or respondent) to appropriate questions based on answers to previous questions. The CATI program determines if a selected response is within an acceptable range, checks entry for consistency against other data collected during the interview, and saves the responses into a survey data file. On-line help menus are also available. This data collection technology reduces the time required for transferring, processing, and releasing data.

Should a phone or web interview terminate before completion, the system allows the interviewer or respondent to resume at the break-off point at another time. Because of multiple administration modes, the instrument was simplified as much as possible to minimize confusion (very few skip patterns, et cetera).

For interviews conducted using a telephone this system documents all call attempts and the outcome of each, their time and duration, and schedules future calls. Further, it documents if and when a message should be left on the household’s answering machine or voice mail. The system assigns calls to interviewers and dials the numbers, although cellular phone numbers will be hand-dialed.

We will format the questions and screens by incorporating the most up-to-date research^⁷ (i.e., the screen text may not appear exactly as listed below).

The screen in the secure data collection environment will display the following text:

It is your choice to participate in this research. You may choose not to answer any question you don’t wish to answer--simply leave it blank. You may also choose to stop the survey at any time, or stop now and continue it at a later time. You will be able to restart the survey where you left off.

This study is authorized by the U.S. Public Health Service Act. This and other strict laws require us to protect your privacy and use your answers only for statistical research. You can see these laws by clicking here^⁸.

The survey will take about 15 minutes. In appreciation, you will receive $20. If you have any questions about this study, please call the study's toll-free number, xxx-xxx-xxxx.

The survey contains questions about your health, health status, and health care as you get older.

Instructions will explain the navigation process, and for persons who chose to complete the survey in stages, i.e., exit the program and return to complete the survey at a more convenient time. To confirm this is the correct respondent, he/she must confirm his/her date of birth. The instrument will then display question F2Q11 (i.e., the start of section 2, health and functional status).

When the respondent completes the web survey, the screen will display the following text:

Those are all the questions. Thank you for participating in the 2007 Survey of Adult Transition and Health. In appreciation for your time, we would like to send you 20 dollars.
