Description: Data for cities, communities, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts were generated using a small area estimation method which combined the survey data with population benchmark data (2022 population estimates for Los Angeles County) and neighborhood characteristics data (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). Data for this indicator are based on caregiver report and defined according to the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Screening Tool developed through the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative led by The Foundation for Accountability. The CSHCN screener includes three "definitional domains." These are: (1) dependency on prescription medications; (2) service use above that considered usual or routine; and (3) functional limitations.
Children with special healthcare needs and their families or caregivers may be at increased risk for economic hardship due to higher healthcare costs and more time needed off from work or school to attend medical appointments. In particular, children who have a disability may also be at increased risk for experiencing lower levels of social and emotional wellbeing compared to their peers who do not have a disability.
