Research Center Releases New Data on Key Indicators of Children’s Health
The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) 2007 examines the physical and emotional health of children and adolescents from birth through age 17. The survey was conducted in 2007 as part of the State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey by the National Center for Health Statistics in collaboration with the Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s Office of Data and Program Development. The 2007 survey updates data collected for the 2003 NSCH and includes new indicators of children’s well-being under the following topics: physical and dental health, emotional and mental health, health insurance coverage, health care access and quality, community and school activities, family and health activities, and neighborhood safety and support. The 2007 dataset, state profiles (including 2007 vs. 2003 profile comparison), state ranking maps, help for data users, and other resources are available from the Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health Web site at: http://www.nschdata.org/Content/Default.aspx.
