Is it safe to provide my information over the internet?

Your information is always encrypted. Our secure servers use "HTTPS," Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, to ensure the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and the U.S. Census Bureau.

This means that instead of sending readable text over the Internet, both your browser and our server encode (scramble) all data using a security key. In addition to data being encrypted during transmission, all data are encrypted for protection when stored on the Census Bureau servers.

How do I recover my Web survey Login ID or PIN?

If you have lost or misplaced your Web Login ID and/or PIN, please call the U.S. Census Bureau toll-free at 1-877-749-4943 for assistance. For Telephone Device for the Deaf (TDD) assistance, please call: 1-800-582-8330.

Your household is unique and important. We need to hear from households from all walks of life to collect enough information to help improve the health of children and young adults across the country. If a household that has been selected for the survey does not respond, we cannot replace them with another household.

The information that you provide is used solely for statistical purposes. All U.S. Census Bureau employees take an oath of confidentiality and are subject to fines or imprisonment for improperly disclosing information. Names and addresses are removed from all forms, and are not included in any statistical release. Also, the NSCH-LC NEVER asks for:

• your Social Security number
• your personal information via email
• money or donations
• credit card information
