National Survey of Children’s Health. This week, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced release of data from the 2017 National Survey of Children’s Health with national- and state-level estimates of key measures of children’s health and well-being. The annual survey is a joint effort by the U.S. Census Bureau and HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). Last week, MCHB announced $361 million to 56 states, territories and non-profit organizations through the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV). Of the 888 U.S. counties served by the MIECHV program in 2017, fifty percent were rural.
