Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17 whose household members (i.e., themselves, their children, or others) had accessed mental health care via telehealth in the period after the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020, by effectiveness of telehealth relative to in-person mental health care and household income level (e.g., in Wave 4 (Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022), telehealth had been more effective than in-person mental health care for 21.1% of California caregivers living in households with annual incomes below $30,000 and whose household members had used telehealth for mental health care during the pandemic).
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.
