Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) are defined by the Department of Health and Human Services as “…those who have or are at increased risk for chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.”1
To identify CHSCN, the survey asked whether the child used more medical care, mental health, or educational services than usual for most children of the same age; whether the child used specialized therapies, mental health counseling, or prescription medication; or whether the child was limited or prevented in any way in his or her ability to do things most children of the same age can do, due to a medical, behavioral, or other health condition that is expected to last at least one year.

The population of children with special health care needs is diverse, including children with a wide range of conditions with varying levels of impact. This section describes the types of special needs these children have and the impact of their conditions on both children and their families.

Health Insurance Coverage
Health insurance, whether financed through the private or the public sector, is an essential ingredient for access to care for children with special health care needs. Without health insurance, children are more likely to forgo necessary preventive health care, and acute health care when children are sick can leave their families with overwhelming medical bills. This section reviews the survey’s findings on insurance coverage among children with special health care needs, the adequacy of their coverage, and the other programs and services they use to meet their medical and educational needs.

Children with special health care needs require a broad range of services, from primary and specialty medical care to prescription medications, medical equipment and therapies. In addition to the needs of the child, families of CSHCN may need additional services, such as respite care, family counseling, or genetic counseling. This section describes both the prevalence of need for a variety of medical and support services and the proportion of children who have unmet needs for each service. Other aspects of access to care, such as access to referrals and the presence of a usual source of care, are also presented here.

Having a child with special health care needs can affect a family’s finances, employment status, and mental health. The demands on families may require that parents cut down their work hours or give up a job, at the same time that they face burdensome out-of-pocket health care costs. This section describes the impact that children with special health care needs have on their families, including their out-of-pocket expenditures, the time spent caring for their children, and the impact of children’s needs on parents’ employment.

Breastfeeding Promotion in Physicians’ Office Practices Betty L. Crase, BA, IBCLC Project Director Administered by: American Academy of Pediatrics in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services Maternal and Child Health Bureau
Goal 1 Increase the number of pediatricians, obstetricians, family physicians, and other health care providers who effectively promote and manage breastfeeding in racially and ethnically diverse populations toward achievement of Healthy People 2010 goals and objectives.
Objective 1A Enroll 300 pediatricians, obstetricians, family physicians, and other health care providers with racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds and those working with underserved populations in the program (Year 4).
Total Enrollment • 694 individual applications • 350 applicants enrolled (50%) • 7 Voluntary Withdrawals • 432 applicants AAP members (62%) • 259 AAP members enrolled (74%)
Objective 1B Determine and compare breastfeeding attitudes, knowledge, and management skills of the 300 program participants through the baseline (Year 5) and follow-up (Year 6) administration of the Physician Self-assessment Questionnaire, adapted to capture cultural competence and behavior changes.
Objective 1C Distribute up to 15 technical and educational culturally appropriate publications and products to help program participants more effectively promote, support, and manage breastfeeding in their medical practices (Years 5 and 6).
Objective 1D Provide technical assistance to all physicians and other health care providers in breastfeeding promotion, support, education, and effective management, including assisting them to utilize publications and products provided through the program (Years 4, 5, 6).
Technical Assistance • 623 requests for technical assistance since October 1, 2001 • Major categories • Breastfeeding materials • Breastfeeding recommendations • Medication questions • Policy statements • BPPOP - Phase II program questions
Objective 1E Through the use of the Parent Survey Tool, track changes in breastfeeding initiation and duration rates in participating medical practices before and after the educational and technical assistance interventions (Years 5, 6).
Goal 2 Develop strategies to bring health professional organizations and public health representatives together around breastfeeding promotion and support to increase the incidence and duration of breastfeeding and decrease racial and ethnic disparities as determined in the Healthy People 2010 goals and objectives.
Objective 2A Engage representatives from up to 10 health professional organizations and public health service providers in a collaborative network to meet the needs of racially and ethnically diverse populations via formation and utilization of a multidisciplinary project advisory committee (Years 4, 5, and 6).
