National Survey of Children's Health

Description

The National Survey of Children's Health, funded and directed by HRSA MCHB, provides national and state level estimates of key measures of child health and well-being. These data are essential to understanding the health status and health services needs of children across the nation and in your state and community. The data cover multiple, intersecting aspects of children’s lives—including physical and mental health, access to quality health care, and the child’s family, neighborhood, school, and social context. The National Survey of Children's Health is funded and directed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB).
