National Survey of Children’s Health Factsheets

In collaboration with the Altarum Institute, the National Center for a System of Services for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) is developing and publishing state factsheets based on the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) data.  

The National Center will develop and publish a factsheet for 10 states each year. These factsheets provide an overview of state-level NSCH data which may inform progress to advance the system of services for CYSHCN. The NSCH indicators included in these factsheets have been carefully selected by a group of diverse stakeholders to align with the four critical areas of the Blueprint for Change.

The factsheets not only provide at-a-glance data, but they also include a breakdown by demographic characteristics that can help states design programs and track progress toward addressing health care inequities among CYSHCN. Below you can find 10 factsheets published in 2023-2024 based on 2020-2021 NSCH data.
