The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated racial and ethnic disparities in children's attendance at recommended well-child visits, as shown by an AHRQ study in Academic Pediatrics. Data from AHRQ's Medical Expenditure Panel Survey revealed a drop in average well-child visit attendance from 66.6% pre-pandemic to 58.6% in 2020. Disparities grew significantly: from 9.6 to 24.8 percentage points between White non-Hispanic and Black non-Hispanic children, and from 14.8 to 26.3 points between White non-Hispanic and Hispanic children. The study underscores the urgent need for a more equitable healthcare system for all children. #HealthEquity https://lnkd.in/gvqKSV-p

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in racial and ethnic disparities among children in attendance to recommended well-child visits, according to an AHRQ study published in Academic Pediatrics. Data from AHRQ's Medical Expenditure Panel Survey showed that average attendance to well-child visits decreased from 66.6 percent during the pre-pandemic period to 58.6 percent in 2020. During those time periods, the unadjusted disparities in attendance widened from 9.6 percentage points to 24.8 percentage points between White non-Hispanic and Black non-Hispanic children, and from 14.8 percentage points to 26.3 percentage points between White non-Hispanic and Hispanic children. The authors concluded that the widening attendance disparities highlight the need to build a more equitable healthcare system for all children. #HealthEquity https://lnkd.in/gvqKSV-p
