a Any unmet needs is a composite of 14 pairs of questions asked. For each of 14 specific health care services, respondents were asked: During the past 12 months / since (his/her birth) [if younger than 12 months], was there any time when (sample child) needed (specific health care service)? Did (sample child) receive all the (specific health care service) that (he/she) needed? The 14 specific health care services were: routine preventative care, such as a physical examination or well child check-up; care from a specialty doctor; dental care including check-ups; prescription medications; physical, occupational or speech therapy; mental health care or counseling; substance abuse treatment or counseling; home health care; eyeglasses or vision care; hearing aids or hearing care; mobility aids or devices, such as canes, crutches, wheelchairs, or scooters; communication aids or devices, such as communication boards; medical supplies; other medical equipment. If any of these 14 were needed, but not received, then the variable was coded as any unmet need.
b Poor refers to incomes below the Federal poverty line; near poor, over the poverty line to just below 200 percent of the poverty line; middle, 200 percent to just below 400 percent of the poverty line; and high, 400 percent of the poverty line and over.
