Predicted Prevalence of the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) using the CSHCN Screener by Household Generational Status and Child’s Number of Currently-diagnosed Chronic Conditions, Multivariate Logistic Regression Modela

Of children with 0 chronic conditions, predicted % with a + CSHCN screenerb 1st gen 2nd gen 3rd gen
3.6 (2.1 – 5.1) 4.9 (4.1 – 5.8) 6.0 (5.6 – 6.5)
Of children with 1 chronic condition, predicted % with a + CSHCN screenerb 1st gen 2nd gen 3rd gen
39.1 (28.9 – 49.4) 47.0 (42.7 – 51.3) 52.3 (49.9 – 54.6)
Of children with 2+ chronic conditions, predicted % with a + CSHCN screenerb 1st gen 2nd gen 3rd gen
75.0 (66.7 – 83.2) 80.5 (77.4 – 83.7) 83.8 (81.6 – 85.6)
a

Predicted percentiles and 95% confidence intervals were derived from the multivariate model adjusted for child’s sex, age, race/ethnicity, and insurance status and household language and educational attainment.

b

Predicted prevalence of CSHCN is significantly higher for children from 3rd generation households than children from 1st or 2nd generation households.
