Definition

  • The National Survey of family Growth is an interview tool conducted seven times since 1973 to gather information on health topics from fertility and family size to cohabitation and contraceptive use. Sponsored by the National Center for Health Statistics, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the National Survey of family Growth is used in the public and private sectors to identify patterns of population growth, inform policy-making discussions, and guide the development of health programs and social services.
