influence children’s well-being, including medical care, family interactions, parental health, school experiences,
and neighborhoods.

The survey takes less than 5 minutes if there are no children in your household. For households with children, it
takes 38 minutes on average.

Frequently Asked Quesons
How was I chosen for the survey?
Your address was randomly selected to be part of this voluntary survey from all of the addresses in the United
States. We do not know who lives at each address. Everyone has a chance to be picked. This process ensures
that the addresses selected represent everyone in the United States.
Can you replace my address with another one?
You are important! No other household is the same as yours. We cannot swap one address for another. If we
did that, the survey results would not accurately describe your state or the entire country.
What are you going to ask me?
The survey asks quesons about children’s physical and emotional health. It also asks about factors that may
influence children’s well-being, including medical care, family interactions, parental health, school experiences,
and neighborhoods.
How long will it take?
The survey takes less than 5 minutes if there are no children in your household. For households with children, it
takes 38 minutes on average.
Who authorizes this survey?
The Census Bureau is conducting this survey on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
under the authority of Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 8(b) and Section 501(a)(2) of the Social
Security Act (42 USC §701). This survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The eight-digit OMB approval number 0607-0990 appears the boom le corner of the survey web page and
the upper left corner on the back page of the paper questionnaire. If this number were not displayed, we could
not conduct this survey.

Dear Parent or Caregiver:

Results from the
National Survey of
Children’s Health
are used to:
• Identify ways for
communities and
families to help
children be ready
for school
• Improve access to
mental health
care for children
• Determine state
level funding for
children’s health
programs
• Identify the
financial burdens
families face
when paying for
children's health
care

Over the past few months, we have contacted you to ask you to complete the
final part of the National Survey of Children’s Health. To the best of our
knowledge, we have not yet received your response to follow-up questions about:

The survey provides important information about the health status and needs of
children across the nation and in your state or community. This information gives
the public insights into how the youngest members of our society are doing and
what they need to thrive.
We know there are competing demands for your time. We ask for your response
because this survey is the only way we have to gather this important information.
Your household was randomly selected and will represent thousands of other
households in the United States.
If you have already completed the survey, please accept our sincere thanks. If you
have not yet responded, please complete and return the enclosed paper
questionnaire as soon as possible.
Answers to frequently asked questions are on the back of this letter. If you need
assistance or have additional questions, please call 1–800–845–8241 or email us
at childrenshealth@census.gov.
Thank you for your help.

Frequently Asked Quesons
How was I chosen for the survey?
Your address was randomly selected to be part of this voluntary survey from all of the addresses in the United
States. We do not know who lives at each address. Everyone has a chance to be picked. This process ensures
that the addresses selected represent everyone in the United States.
Can you replace my address with another one?
You are important! No other household is the same as yours. We cannot swap one address for another. If we
did that, the survey results would not accurately describe your state or the entire country.
What are you going to ask me?
The survey asks quesons about children’s physical and emotional health. It also asks about factors that may
influence children’s well-being, including medical care, family interactions, parental health, school experiences,
and neighborhoods.
How long will it take?
The survey takes less than 5 minutes if there are no children in your household. For households with children, it
takes 38 minutes on average.
Who authorizes this survey?
The Census Bureau is conducting this survey on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
under the authority of Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 8(b) and Section 501(a)(2) of the Social
Security Act (42 USC §701). This survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The eight-digit OMB approval number 0607-0990 appears the boom le corner of the survey web page and
the upper left corner on the back page of the paper questionnaire. If this number were not displayed, we could
not conduct this survey.
What laws protect my privacy?
Federal law protects your privacy and keeps your answers confidential under Title 13, U.S.C. Section 9. Under
the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through
screening of the systems that transmit your data.
