New data from the 2009/10 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN) are now accessible on the Data Resource Center (DRC) website. Start browsing the new data now.
Stay tuned for the mid-February release of our new trending feature that will allow users to compare findings from three years of the NS-CSHCN--2001, 2005/06 and 2009/10.
Two core outcomes were revised in the 2009/10 NS-CSHCN to better capture the concepts behind shared decision-making for CSHCN and whether or not care services are organized so that CSHCN can easily access them.
Outcome #1: Families of CSHCN are partners in decision-making for child's optimal health
Outcome #5: Community-based service systems are organized so CSHCN can use them easily
Who are Children with Special Health Care Needs?
All CSHCN share in common the fact of having ongoing health problems for which they use an above average amount of health care services. However, there is wide variation across states in how the health care system performs for children with special health care needs. There is also tremendous variability within states among CSHCN whose needs may be either more or less complex.
