Abstract

Childhood mental, behavioral, and developmental disorders (MBDDs) are associated with adverse outcomes that can persist into adulthood (1,2). Pediatric clinical settings are important for identifying and treating MBDDs (3). Early identification and treatment of MBDDs can promote healthy development for all children (4), especially those living in poverty who are at increased risk for MBDDs (3,5) but might have reduced access to care (6). CDC analyzed data from the 2016 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) on MBDDs, risk factors, and use of federal assistance programs (e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP]) to identify points to reach children in poverty. In line with previous research (3,6), compared with children in higher-income households, those in lower-income households more often had ever received a diagnosis of an MBDD (22.1% versus 13.9%), and less often had seen a health care provider in the previous year (80.4% versus 93.8%). Among children living below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL) who did not see a health care provider in the previous year, seven of 10 were in families receiving at least one public assistance benefit. Public assistance programs might offer collaboration opportunities to provide families living in poverty with information, co-located screening programs or services, or connection to care.

  • One in six children and adolescents in the United States suffers from a mood, anxiety, behavioral, or other psychiatric disorder.

    “One in six children (ages 6 to 12 years old) and adolescents (ages 13 to 17 years old, henceforth both referred to as children unless the data are specific to one age group) in the United States suffers from a mood, anxiety, behavioral, or other psychiatric disorder [1].”

    From Psychological and Psychiatric Comorbidities in Youth with Serious Physical Illness (2022) · cites this paper as [1]

    Table 1 (Abstract; page not provided) reports that 17.4%—approximately one in six—of U.S. children aged 2–8 had a parent-reported diagnosis of a mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. It does not establish that rate for the cited sentence’s ages 6–17, and its disorder category includes developmental conditions rather than only psychiatric disorders. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
