Variable Name: Satisfaction with doctor communication when using specific services

Survey Items: K4Q22; K4Q24; K5Q30

Denominator: Children age 0-17 with a least 2 services of preventive care, mental health care or saw a specialist

Numerator: Less than very satisfied with communication among doctors; Very satisfied with communication among doctors

Revisions and Changes: n/a

Additional Notes: This derived variable is a sub-component of the Medical Home component of Effective care coordination. Chldren were determined to need communication between doctors only if they saw a specialist (K4Q24=yes) or visited a mental health professional (K4Q22=yes) during the past 12 months. Satisfaction with doctor communication is measured by one question, K5Q30. Those who needed communication and were very satisfied with that communiation are displayed in this variable.

Treatment of Unknown Values: Unknown values (responses coded as 'refused', 'don't know', or system missing) are not included in the denominator when calculating prevalence estimates and weighted population counts displayed in the data query results table. In nearly every case, the proportion of unknown values is less than 1% and the exclusion of these values does not change the prevalence estimates (%) and only marginally affects the weighted population counts (Weighted Est.). Exceptions are noted in the form of a “Data Alert” at the bottom of a results table.

History and Development: The Maternal and Child Health Bureau leads the development of the NSCH survey and indicators, in collaboration with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and a national technical expert panel. The expert panel includes representatives from other federal agencies, state Title V leaders, family organizations, and child health researchers. Previously validated questions and scales are used when available. Respondents’ cognitive understanding of the survey questions is assessed during the pretest phase and revisions made as required. All final data components are verified by NCHS and DRC/CAHMI staff prior to public release.
