The 2000 National Survey of Early Childhood Health assessed parents' experiences with and perceptions of their children's health care. Administered by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, the survey drew heavily from the Fund's 1996 Survey of Families with Young Children and FACCT's Promoting Healthy Development Surveys. With cofunding from multiple partners, this project will support the analysis and dissemination of its findings through scholarly articles and policy briefs. Its goals will be to: 1) augment public knowledge about the content and quality of child health and development services provided to children under age 3; and 2) help set priorities to guide future efforts to improve these services. http://www.ucla.edu/
