Population Estimates of Characteristics of a Nationally Representative Sample of Children With Special Health Care Needs and Caregiver-Reported Need for Therapy or Mobility Aidsa

  • a FPL=federal poverty level, N/A=not applicable (these children were not asked about equipment).

  • b % (SE) is the population estimate and standard error of the percentage. These analyses account for the complex sampling scheme of the National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN) and allow us to estimate the population prevalence (and its standard error) for each category.

  • c Percentages do not equal 100% due to children having more than one of the conditions included in the NS-CSHCN.
