Rate and duration of school or work missed were determined through the following survey questions: (1) Has your child missed any days of day care, preschool, or school since being admitted to the hospital roughly 6 months ago? (2) How many days of day care, preschool, or school has your child missed? (3) Since your child was discharged from the hospital, how many days have you had to stay home from work to be with him or her when you have been planning to work? and (4) Since your child was discharged from the hospital, how many days has another person who had been planning to work had to stay home from work to be with him or her?
