CDC&P: MMWR Vol. 66 / No. SS-8

MMWR Surveillance Summaries Vol. 66, No. SS-8 March 17, 2017   PDF   In this report Differences in Health Care, Family, and Community Factors Associated with Mental, Behavioral, and Developmental Disorders Among Children Aged 2–8 Years in Rural and Urban Areas — United States, 2011–2012 Lara R. Robinson, PhD; Joseph R. Holbrook, PhD; Rebecca H. Bitsko, PhD; et al. Mental, behavioral, and developmental disorders (MBDDs) begin in early childhood and often affect lifelong health and well-being. Persons who live in rural areas report more health-related disparities than those in urban areas, including poorer health, more health risk behaviors, and less access to health resources. This report uses data from the National Survey of Children's Health to examine sociodemographic, health care, family, and community factors among U.S. children aged 2–8 years with and without MBDDs according to whether they live in in urban, large rural, small rural, or isolated areas.
