“…Data from the 2017 National Survey of Children's Health (U.S. Census Bureau, 2018 ) indicated that when compared to children without special health care needs, CMC and their caregivers were more likely to experience rundown housing and vandalism in their neighborhood, lower quality of caregiver physical and mental health, family income lower than 200% federal poverty level, parental divorce, parental incarceration, child abuse, and food insecurity (Berry et al., 2020 ). Thus, it is not surprising that a study of psychosocial stressors among caregivers of CMC found their scores on the Psychosocial Assessment Tool to be among the highest across published studies examining the measure in pediatric populations (Verma et al., 2020 ) and that psychosocial stressors are higher for caregivers of CMC compared to caregivers of children without medical complexity (Buchholz et al., 2021 ). Chronic caregiver stress and unaddressed behavioral health needs also impact child well‐being and development and is associated with lower levels of parenting responsiveness, higher levels of child behavior concerns, and lower child language scores (Dempsey & Keller‐Margulis, 2020 ; Neece, 2014 ; Smith, 2004 ; Woodward et al., 2011 ).…”
