Figure 1. Percentage of all children grouped by age reported over time to have a chronic health condition.

Figure One has five bar graphs that illustrate the percentage of children in each age group  who have a reported chronic health condition at each data collection time point, as well as those who had a reported condition at any time during the 36 months.  The first graph shows the percentages for children ages 0-2.  3.9% of children had a chronic health condition at baseline, 3.4% at the 18 month follow-up, and 3.3% at the 36 month follow-up;  6.3% had a chronic health problem at some time during the 36 month period. The second graph shows the percentages for children ages 3-5.  4.6% of children had a chronic health condition at baseline, 3.2% at the 18 month follow-up, and 2.9% at the 36 month follow-up;  6.5% had a chronic health problem at some time during the 36 month period.  The third graph shows the percentages for children ages 6-10.  6.0% of children had a chronic health condition at baseline, 3.7% at the 18 month follow-up, and 3.7% at the 36 month follow-up;  8.4% had a chronic health problem at some time during the 36 month period. The fourth graph shows the percentages for children ages 11 and older.  4.5% of children had a chronic health condition at baseline, 2.1% at the 18 month follow-up, and 2.9% at the 36 month follow-up;  6.7% had a chronic health problem at some time during the 36 month period.  The fifth graph shows the total for all age groups combined.   19.0% of children had a chronic health condition at baseline, 12.4% at the 18 month follow-up, and 12.8% at the 36 month follow-up;  27.9% had a chronic health problem at some time during the 36 month period.

Figure 2. Percentage of all children grouped by age reported over time to have a special need.

Figure Two has five bar graphs that illustrate the percentage of children in each age group  who have a reported special need at each data collection time point, as well as those who had a reported special need at any time during the 36 months.  The first graph shows the percentages for children ages 0-2.  1.0% of children had a special need at baseline, 2/3% at the 18 month follow-up, and 2.3% at the 36 month follow-up;  3.4% had a special need at some time during the 36 month period. The second graph shows the percentages for children ages 3-5.  3.4% of children had a special need at baseline, 5.1% at the 18 month follow-up, and 4.2% at the 36 month follow-up;  6.5% had a special need at some time during the 36 month period. The third graph shows the percentages for children ages 6-10.  9.3% of children had a special need at baseline, 11.7% at the 18 month follow-up, and 7.9% at the 36 month follow-up;  13.7% had a special need at some time during the 36 month period. The fourth graph shows the percentages for children ages 11 and older.  7.3% of children had a special need at baseline, 8.7% at the 18 month follow-up, and 4.6% at the 36 month follow-up;  9.6% had a special need at some time during the 36 month period.  The fifth graph shows the total for all age groups combined.   21.0% of children had a special need at baseline, 27.8% at the 18 month follow-up, and 18.9% at the 36 month follow-up;  33.2% had a special need at some time during the 36 month period. (back to Figure 2)

 

Figure 3. Percentage of children with chronic health conditions having multiple conditions.

Figure Three shows the percentage of children with chronic health conditions who have multiple conditions.  58% of children who have a chronic health condition have only one condition;  16% have two conditions;  and 26% have three or more conditions. (back to Figure 3)

 

Figure 4. Percentage of children with special needs who have multiple needs.

Figure Four shows the percentage of children with special needs who have multiple needs.  27% of children with special needs have only one special need;  42% have 2 special needs;  and 31% have three or more special needs. (back to Figure 4)
