Estimating the Prevalence of Uninsured Children: An Evaluation of Data From the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs, 2001

Details

• Description:
  The National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs revealed that 8.3% of children under 18 years of age were uninsured, a rate lower than the rate estimated by other national surveys. This report presents the results of an evaluation of the quality of this estimate, based on analyses of nonresponse, question design, interviewer and respondent effects, and the weighting and estimation process. National and State-level statistics on health insurance coverage for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) and for children without special needs are included in an appendix.
