The Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) is pleased to announce an upcoming DataSpeak program on findings from the brand new 2011-2012 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). The NSCH is funded and directed by MCHB, with data collection coordinated by the National Center for Health Statistics.  The survey examines the physical and emotional health of children from birth through 17 years of age. Emphasis is placed on factors that may be related to the well-being of children, including medical homes, family interactions, parental health, school experiences, and neighborhood safety. This DataSpeak will be one of the very first presentations on the results of this important survey.

Presentations will be made by:
  • Christina Bethell, PhD, MBA, MPH, Director of the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (CAHMI) at the OHSU School of Medicine, on how participants can jump start their use of the new NSCH data using the resources available on the Data Resource Center’s website.

  • Stephen Blumberg, PhD, Associate Director for Science, Division of Health Interview Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

  • Michael Kogan, PhD, Director of MCHB’s Office of Epidemiology and Research, who will present key findings from the new survey.
