Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17 who dealt with stress in the previous month through exercise, meditation, prayer, or reading, by presence of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) in the household (e.g., in Wave 3, 59.2% of California caregivers living in households with one or more CSHCN had exercised in response to stress in the previous month).
Data Source: Family Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic. (Jul. 2021). Questionnaire: American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Prevent Child Abuse America & Tufts Medical Center; California oversample: Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health & California Essentials for Childhood Initiative (California Dept. of Public Health, Injury and Violence Prevention Branch & California Dept. of Social Services, Office of Child Abuse Prevention).
Footnote: Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally. The questionnaire was administered during the following periods: Nov. 9 – Dec. 11, 2020 (Wave 1); Mar. 22 – Apr. 12, 2021 (Wave 2); Jul. 8 – Jul. 27, 2021 (Wave 3). These data are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. The annotation [!] indicates that the estimate’s margin of error is at least 5 percentage points but less than 10 percentage points.
