The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seeks approval for a nonsubstantive change to an approved project (OMB No. 0920-0943 Exp. Date: 07/31/2015), data collection for the residential care community (RCC) and adult day services center (ADSC) components for the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers (NSLTCP), including the estimated sample size and estimated annual burden. As we did in 2012, the data to be collected from RCCs and ADSCs will include basic characteristics, services offered, staffing, and practices of providers, as well as distributions of the demographics, physical functioning, and cognitive functioning of users (RCC residents and ADSC participants) aggregated to the RCC/ADSC level. The 2014 NSLTCP will be administered by mail, web, and telephone. As we did in 2012, data will be collected from a sample of 11,690 RCCs and a census of 5,000 ADSCs in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
