NYTD Technical Bulletin #5: Cohort Management and Sampling

This TB describes how ACF will identify and finalize each cohort of youth in the NYTD follow-up population (or follow-up population sample for those States that opt to sample) for the purposes of assessing States' compliance with NYTD data collection and reporting requirements. The TB also specifies how States may opt to sample the baseline population for the purposes of collecting information on the follow-up population.
