Disparities in Family-Centered Care Among US Children and Youth with Special Healthcare Needs

Paul L Morgan et al. J Pediatr. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Cross-sectional analyses of 4 nationally representative samples indicate disparities in family-centered care occur among US children and youth with special healthcare needs by race and ethnicity, family income and composition, insurance coverage, and healthcare setting. Measured confounds including children's health and impairment severity do not explain the disparities.
