Bringing a Life Course Perspective to MCH
|
Prevention and wellness across the life course is a national priority for the Maternal and Child Health Bureau. This includes a
focus on environmental factors, systems of care, critical time-periods for development, and health equity. The DRC Web site contains point and click data from the National Survey of Children's Health and the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs that map to key concepts embedded in the life course perspective, which promote a whole child approach to health over the life span. Here is a quick prieview of the data relevant to life course, found on the DRC:
Early Childhood
4 in 5 young children did not receive age-appropriate screening for developmental, behavioral, and social risks and delays, leading to missed opportunities for early intervention and advancing school readiness.
Home Environment
Nationally, only 28.5% of children experienced each of a core set of protective home environment measures, based on exposure to household smoking, sharing meals with family members, an appropriate amount of time watching TV, and other, key home-centered variables. For those who received care within a medical home, 34.1% experienced a protective home environment.
Neighborhood and School
Nationally, 51% of children met a neighborhood and school summary measure. These children live in safe and supportive neighborhoods and attend safe schools. 58.3% of children that received care within a medical home met the neighborhood and school summary index compared to 42.2% of children without a medical home.
System of Care
CSHCN with 3 or more medical condition are less likely to adequate insurance than children with 2 or fewer medical conditions.
Equity
CSHCN from ethnic or racial minorities are less likely to have families that feel like partners in shared decision-making for their child's optimal health. Only 38.5% of Hispanic children receive care within a medical home compared to 68% of White children.

Health System Performance Measurement and Improvement
The DRC and CAHMI provide a broad range of valid, reliable child health and quality of care measures that can be used to assess system performance and opportunities for improvement. The parent-reported data from these measures may be further used to motivate your partners and drive a meaningful quality improvement strategy positively impacting child health. To support effective, efficient quality improvement partnerships, these measures and data have been leveraged to develop the following suite of tools and resources:
- Visit the new DRC Quality Portal, a comprehensive online resource regarding pediatric quality of care and improvement.
 - Explore the forthcoming Well-Visit Planner, the most recentpatient-centered quality improvement tool that engages parents as partner to individualize and improve well-child care.
Using Data Effectively: The DRC Can Help
Get up-to-speed on how the child health and quality of care data available through the DRC may be used for Public Health Accreditation along with how these data may be used to generate synthetic estimates for local, county and city health departments by reading this new DRC Data Brief.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) |
The Data Resource Center provides data briefs examining the relationship between Complementary and  Alternative Medicine and Conventional Health Care on use, expenditures and experiences among US children. These profiles use data from the 2007 National Health Interview Survey, the 2008 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey, and 2009/10 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs. The DRC will be presenting additional finding this week at MCH Epi. Make sure to sit in on our presentation Wed. December 12th at 2:15pm in Salon C. |
