The National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH)
The NSCH is a national survey that focuses on the physical and emotional health of children and young adults ages 3 to 24 in the United States. The NSCH-LC followed up with households that were interviewed for the 2018 or 2019 National Survey of Children's Health. The NSCH collected information from parents and caregivers related to the health and well-being of the same children and young adults in 2023 and 2024, including access to and use of health care, family interactions, mental health, school and after-school experiences, and family economic circumstances. Asthma related questions are asked to determine child lifetime and current asthma prevalence. The 2025 questionnaire will include a question, sponsored by AAQB, on asthma attacks.
