Data Source

Child Trends analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal
and Child Health Bureau, National Survey of Children’s Health.

The
national and state-level data used here come from the National Survey of Children’s
Health (NSCH). The NSCH includes information on over 102,000 children
under age 18, with roughly 2,000 children per state. Households were
selected through a random-digit-dial sample, and one child was randomly
selected in each household. Information on each child is based on
responses of the parent or guardian in the household who was most
knowledgeable about the sampled child’s health. Information was
collected via a computer-assisted telephone interview. For more
information on the NSCH, see:

Data for the 2011-2012 NSCH was collected February 2011 through June
2012.
