To profile the national prevalence of more-complex children with special health care needs (CSHCN) and the diversity of caregiver challenges that their families confront. Secondary analysis of the 2005-06 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (n=40,723). United States-based population. National sample of CSHCN. More-complex CSHCN were defined by incorporating components of child health and family need, including medical technology dependence and care by ≥2 subspecialists. Caregiver challenges were defined by family reported care burden, including hours providing care coordination and home care; medical care use, defined by health care encounters in the last 12 months; and unmet needs, defined by 15 individual medical and a single non-medical need. Of CSHCN, 3.2% (weighted n=324,323) met complex criteria, representing 0.44% of all children in the United States. Families of more-complex CSHCN reported a median of 2 [IQR 1,6] hours a week on care coordination and 11-15 [IQR 6, >21] hours per week on direct home care. Over half (56.8%) reported financial problems, 54.1% reported that a member stopped working because of the child’s health, 48.8% reported ≥1 unmet medical service need, and 33.1% reported difficulty accessing non-medical services. Extraordinary and diverse needs are common in family caregivers of more-complex CSHCN. Enhanced care coordination support, respite care, and direct home care may begin to address the substantial caregiving burden and the multiple unmet needs that many of these families face.
