The DRC’s interactive data query provides point and click access to national, state and regional data for nearly 400 Child and Family Health Measures! Representing data collected from 109,265 children ages 0-17 years, the 2022-2023 combined year NSCH data offers larger sample sizes and robust estimates which facilitate important subgroup analyses across state and child populations. 

The 2022-2023 combined year dataset includes a brand-new measure, the Whole Child Risk Index, and an additional measure of children who met an expanded criteria for special healthcare needs. The interactive data query now also supports additional subgroups including child flourishing and the new expanded criteria for children with special health care needs. These measures and subgroups offer additional insight and context related to health equity in MCH populations. This is also the first combined year dataset to display the new measure for school readiness. View your state’s data for this new national outcome measure!
