Federal and state maternal and child health programs are responsible for promoting and improving the health and well-being of children. To support achievement of this goal, the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) in partnership with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has developed a new survey that will provide uniform national and state data on the health and well-being of children, as well as the characteristics of their families and neighborhoods.
The National Survey of Children's Health was designed to produce reliable and representative state- and national-level estimates for Healthy People 2010 national prevention objectives, for each state's Title V needs assessment, and for Title V program planning and evaluation. In addition, it will provide a new data resource for researchers, advocacy groups, and other interested parties. It is anticipated that this survey will be repeated periodically, making trend analysis possible.
This survey was conducted using the State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) mechanism, which shares the random-digit-dial sampling frame of the National Immunization Survey (sponsored by the National Immunization Program and NCHS). Using the SLAITS platform, interviews on approximately 2000 children were conducted in each state and the District of Columbia. The parent or guardian most knowledgeable about the child completed a battery of questions on health and development, health insurance coverage, access to care, utilization of health care services, presence of a medical home, family functioning, parental health, and neighborhood characteristics. Data collection began in January 2003 and continued through April 2004. Summary reports and electronic data files will be available to the public by early 2005.
This is the second state and national survey jointly completed by MCHB and NCHS. It is designed to complement the 2001 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs by providing data on the health of the general child population.
联邦和州的母婴健康项目负责促进和改善儿童的健康与福祉。为支持实现这一目标，联邦母婴健康局（MCHB）与国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）、疾病控制与预防中心合作，开展了一项新的调查，该调查将提供关于儿童健康与福祉、其家庭及社区特征的全国统一和各州数据。
儿童健康全国调查旨在为《2010年美国人健康目标》的国家级预防目标、每个州的第五章需求评估以及第五章项目规划与评估提供可靠且具有代表性的州级和国家级估计数据。此外，它将为研究人员、倡导团体及其他相关方提供一个新的数据资源。预计该调查将定期重复进行，从而使趋势分析成为可能。
本次调查采用州和地方综合电话调查（SLAITS）机制，该机制与国家免疫调查（由国家免疫项目和国家卫生统计中心赞助）共用随机数字拨号抽样框架。利用SLAITS平台，在每个州和哥伦比亚特区对约2000名儿童进行了访谈。对孩子最为了解的家长或监护人完成了一系列关于健康与发育、医疗保险覆盖情况、就医途径、医疗服务利用情况、是否有医疗之家、家庭功能、父母健康及社区特征的问题。数据收集于2003年1月开始，持续至2004年4月。总结报告和电子数据文件将于2005年初向公众提供。
这是母婴健康局和国家卫生统计中心联合完成的第二项州级和国家级调查。其目的是通过提供普通儿童群体的健康数据，对2001年有特殊医疗需求儿童全国调查进行补充。
