Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17 currently working fewer, the same, and more hours compared with February 2020, by presence of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) in the household (e.g., in Wave 4 (Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022), 40.7% of California caregivers living in households with one or more CSHCN were working fewer hours than they had been in February 2020).
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. The annotation [!] indicates that the estimate’s margin of error is at least 5 percentage points but less than 10 percentage points.
