Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17, by presence of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) in the household and availability of telehealth as an option for caregiver's family members (i.e., themselves, their children, or others) to receive mental health care (e.g., in Wave 4 (Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022), telehealth was not available as an option for mental health care in the areas where 11% of California caregivers living in households with one or more CSHCN lived).
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: 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. 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.
