Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17 whose oldest child needed but did not receive psychological or emotional counseling from a mental health professional in the previous 12 months, by reasons for forgoing care (e.g., in Wave 4 (Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022), 26.4% of California caregivers whose oldest child did not receive needed mental health counseling in the previous year had forgone care due to insurance reasons).
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, Office of Suicide Prevention.
Footnote: 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.
