Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 5-17 whose youngest school-aged child had and had not fallen behind at school during the 2019-20 or 2020-21 school years, by presence of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) in the household and child's degree of progress towards catching up during the 2021-22 school year (e.g., in Wave 4 (Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022), the youngest school-aged child of 22.4% of California caregivers living in households with one or more CSHCN had caught up or gone ahead at school in 2021-22 after falling behind in 2019-20 or 2020-21).
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: 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.
