Purpose
In 2020-2021, the Foundation supported a questionnaire that was fielded three times over a nine-month period to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the experiences of families of children with special health care needs. As the COVID-19 pandemic entered its third year, with emerging consensus that the disease had transitioned to an endemic state, California families faced new challenges and new needs. Building on the previous study, KidsData.org, a program of PRB, fielded a fourth questionnaire to families in California to inform the need for timely, actionable evidence that policymakers, advocates, and program and agency staff could use to shape the programs, services, and workforce supporting California families as they adapted to significant, long-term life changes. The research was conducted in partnership with YouGov America.
A summary of the outcomes from the fourth questionnaire is available on PRB’s website. Data from the questionnaire, as well as a webinar detailing the results of the fourth questionnaire, can be accessed at: kidsdata.org/COVID19.
