    The National Survey of Children's Health & Childhood Obesity; USA & Delaware, 2016-2021
    (Center for Applied Demography and Survey Research, 2023-03) Brel-Fournier, Yuliya
    The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) is sponsored by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration, which is an Agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NSCH examines the physical and emotional health of children between 0 and 17 years of age and is designed to provide estimates representative of the nation and individual states. NSCH places special emphasis on such factors of children’s well-being as health care, neighborhood characteristics, school, and after-school experiences, etc. The U.S. Census Bureau has been conducting the Survey since 2016 after it underwent a redesign in 2015, which was driven by declining response rates and a decrease in the number of households that had landline telephones. At the moment, the survey uses a two‐phase multimode data collection design. The new design combines the former NSCH and the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) into the current NSCH. The National Survey of Children’s Health contains over 300 indicators and survey items for child and family health and well-being. A subset of child and family health measures refers to Physical, Oral Health and Functional Status. Within this subset, there are indicators pertaining to children’s weight. Respondents are asked, e.g., whether a doctor or other health care provider has ever told them that their child is overweight, and whether they are concerned about the child’s weight. In addition, the weight status of the child based on Body Mass Index (BMI) is provided in either 4 categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese) or 3 categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight/or obese).

    (Center for Applied Demography and Survey Research, 2023-12) Brel-Fournier, Yuliya
    This report analyzes the 2022 BRFSS data. The objective of BRFSS is “to collect uniform state-specific data on health risk, behaviors, chronic diseases and conditions, access to health care, and use of preventive health services related to the leading causes of death and disability in the United States”. The Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) operates the state-based Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFS) as part of BRFSS. BRFS is a survey of Delaware’s adult population conducted annually. It considers behaviors connected with an increased risk of disease, premature death, and disability. In 2022, BRFS surveyed 4,078 adults in Delaware aged 18 and older. This study generalizes the prevalence rates from the sample to the population concerning general health issues, health care access data, chronic diseases, and behavioral risk factors.
