Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17 who participated in one or more recreational activities with their children in the previous seven days (e.g., in Wave 4, 94.8% of California caregivers had participated in activities with their children in the previous week).
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: This indicator reports on eight recreational activities: (1) educational activities, (2) sports/outdoor activities, (3) reading books, (4) telling stories, (5) going for walks, (6) cooking and enjoying meals, (7) watching TV or other media, (8) playing video games. The questionnaire was administered during the following periods: Nov. 9 – Dec. 11, 2020 (Wave 1); Mar. 22 – Apr. 12, 2021 (Wave 2); Jul. 8 – Jul. 27, 2021 (Wave 3); Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022 (Wave 4). 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.
