National Survey of Children’s Health Data Briefs

In collaboration with the Altarum Institute, the National Center for a System of Services for CYSHCN is developing and publishing an annual national data brief based on the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) data.

The data brief provides an overview of national level data which may inform progress to advance the system of services for CYSHCN. The NSCH indicators included in the data brief have been carefully selected by a group of diverse stakeholders to align with the four critical areas of the Blueprint for Change.  The data brief not only provides at a glance data, but also includes a breakdown by demographic and health equity related characteristics that can help states design programs and track progress toward addressing health care inequities among CYSHCN. Below you can find the National Data Brief published in 2023-2024 based on 2020-2021 NSCH data.
