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 caregiver's preference for receiving mental health services in person or remotely via telehealth if given both options (e.g., in Wave 4 (Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022), 31.1% of California caregivers living in households with one or more CSHCN would have preferred to receive mental health services both in person and via telehealth).
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.
