Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 5-17, by caregiver's race/ethnicity and level of concern that their youngest school-aged child is falling behind at school (e.g., in Wave 4, 11.6% of Hispanic/Latino caregivers in California with school-aged children were extremely concerned that their youngest school-aged child was falling behind at school).
Data Source: Family Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic. (Jun. 2022). 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: The 'moderately concerned' category reflects caregivers who are somewhat concerned or moderately concerned that their youngest school-aged child is falling behind at school. 'Not concerned' caregivers are those who either do not believe their child is falling behind at school or are not at all concerned about their child's falling behind at school. African American/black, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, and white categories are mutually exclusive. The questionnaire was administered during the following periods: Mar. 22 – Apr. 12, 2021 (Wave 2); Jul. 8 – Jul. 27, 2021 (Wave 3); Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022 (Wave 4). These data are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. The notation S refers to estimates that have been suppressed because the margin of error is 10 percentage points or greater. The annotation [!] indicates that the estimate’s margin of error is at least 5 percentage points but less than 10 percentage points.
