The Census Bureau reports that 5.2 percent of school-age children (2.8 million) were reported to have a disability. The American Community Survey defines a person with a disability as a person having a “vision, hearing, cognitive, ambulatory, self-care, or independent living difficulty.” Per the American Community Survey, the most common type of disability diagnosed in school-age children is cognitive disability, which they define as “serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.”

We provide an overview of Census Bureau activities to enhance the consistency, timeliness, and relevance of our data products in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We highlight new data products designed to provide timely and granular information on the pandemic's impact: the Small Business Pulse Survey, weekly Business Formation Statistics, the Household Pulse Survey, and Community Resilience Estimates. We describe pandemic-related content introduced to existing surveys such as the Annual Business Survey and the Current Population Survey. We discuss adaptations to ensure the continuity and consistency of existing data products such as principal economic indicators and the American Community Survey.

Pediculosis Pubis

Three forms of pediculosis affect the human host, each with a predilection for certain parts of the body. Pediculosis capitis. or head lice, is the most common type and is seen primarily in preschool and school-age children, especially girls. Transmission occurs by coming into direct contact with lice or by sharing infested brushes, combs, and hats. Adult lice and their eggs (nits) are found principally in the occipital region and behind the ears. Symptoms include severe itching, often resulting in excoriation and secondary bacterial infection. Pediculosis pubis is seen most commonly in sexually active adolescents and young adults, although occasionally it may be found on the eyelashes of small children who come in contact with infected individuals.

School Age

School-age children (N=43) with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were studied to determine if the coping strategies they used were associated with their Self -care management and/or with their metabolic control. Instruments used included the Schoolagers Coping Strategy Inventory and the Self-Care Questionnaire. Results indicated that the choice qf (-ol)iiig strategies did not differ by demographic characteristics, and level of self-care was not associated with metabolic control. Participants used cognitive coping strategies most often; higher frequencies tended to be associated with highter levels of self-care and metabolic control. Those who utilized distracting strategies also tended to have higher levels of self-care. Emotional coping strategies tended to be related to poorer metabolic control. The use of coping strategies explained approximately 18% of the variance in metabolic control. These data suggest that healthcare providers should assess what coping strategies are employed by school-age children with diabetes because the choice of strategies may have a significant impact on their metabolic Control. The use of strategies related to poorer metabolic control (eg, emotional strategies) should be discouraged, and the use of more effective strategies related to higher levels of self-care and metabolic control (eg, cognitive strategies) should be modeled and encouraged.

Care Support

There is policy impetus for provision of self-care support (SCS) for children with long-term conditions (LTCs). However, it is not clear what SCS should consist of and how it can be delivered in routine care. This review aimed to synthesise the literature, specifically on SCS of diet and the gut as these components are essential for optimal growth and development and enhanced quality of life. Using an integrative review methodology, studies conducted between January 1990 and July 2020 were systematically identified and methodological quality assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Twenty-five studies were included. SCS of diet and the gut consisted of support in developing and applying specific knowledge and skills and practical help with incorporating the demands of self-care into everyday life. Key requisites for models of SCS in the context of delivery and uptake in routine care were starting early, keeping it going, being flexible and choosing appropriate outcomes. This review contributes new understanding on the provision of SCS of diet and the gut for school-age children with LTCs, including identification of gaps in the literature and further research needs.

Demographic Response

The U.S. Census Bureau is researching possible uses of administrative records in decennial census and survey operations. The 2010 Census Match Study and American Community Survey (ACS) Match Study represent recent efforts by the Census Bureau to evaluate the extent to which administrative records provide data on persons and addresses in the 2010 Census and 2010 ACS. The 2010 Census Match Study also examines demographic response data collected in administrative records. Building on this analysis, we match data from the 2010 ACS to federal administrative records and third party data as well as to previous census data and examine administrative records coverage and agreement of ACS age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin responses. We find high levels of coverage and agreement for sex and age responses and variable coverage and agreement across race and Hispanic origin groups. These results are similar to findings from the 2010 Census Match Study.
