The Health and Well-Being of Children: A Portrait of States and the Nation 2005
While many data sources exist to measure the health of children in the United States, few take into account the many contexts in which children grow and develop, including their family and community environments. The National Survey of Children’s Health, conducted for the first time in 2003, addresses multiple aspects of children’s health and well-being—including physical and mental health, health care, and social well-being—as well as aspects of the family and the neighborhood that can affect children’s health, on both the national and State levels. The survey was supported and developed by the U.S. Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration and conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
