National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs, 2001
The primary goal of this module is to assess the prevalence and impact of special health care needs among children in all 50 States and the District of Columbia. This survey explores the extent to which children with special health care needs (CSHCN) have medical homes, adequate health insurance, and access to needed services. Other topics include care coordination and satisfaction with care. More than 3,000 households with children were screened in order to identify 750 children with special needs in each State. Interviews were conducted with their parents. Also, brief health insurance interviews were conducted for children without special needs to estimate State-level health care coverage using equivalent-sized samples in each State. Finally, for uninsured children from low-income households, questions about parents’ awareness of and experience with Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) were asked. Quick Facts Sponsor(s): Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation of the Department of Health and Human Services. Period of Data Collection: October 2000-April 2002 Sample size: 750 CSHCN and at least 2700 non-CSHCN per State and DC Sampling Frame: Children under age 18 years
