Survey of the Week: National Survey of Children's Health.
The NSCH is designed to produce data on the physical and emotional health of children under 18 years of age who live in the US, including information on factors related to the well-being of children, including access to health care, in-home medical care, family interactions, parental health, school and after-school experiences, and neighborhood characteristics. Census and HHS are making several changes to both the survey's methodology and its content - including implementing new SPD15 race and ethnicity question standards and removing response options related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
