a Insurance adequacy is a composite of three questions asked: Does (sample child)'s health insurance offer benefits or cover services that meet (his/her) needs? Are the costs not covered by (sample child)'s health insurance reasonable? Does (sample child)'s health insurance allow (him/her) to see the health care providers (he/she) needs? Response options for each question were never; sometimes; usually; always. If all three were answered either usually or always, the insurance was coded as adequate; if any of the three were answered otherwise, the insurance was coded inadequate.
b Poor refers to incomes below the Federal poverty line; near poor, over the poverty line to just below 200 percent of the poverty line; middle, 200 percent to just below 400 percent of the poverty line; and high, 400 percent of the poverty line and over.
