Brief Figures

‡ Reporting standards not met.

NOTE: As of June 19, 2022, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all children ages 6 months–17 years. The data for the indicator in this report was collected during the time when COVID-19 vaccination was recommended for children ages 5–17 years. The recommendations are available at: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/index.html. Poverty status is based on family income and household size using 2020 U.S. Census Bureau poverty thresholds. The revised 1997 U.S. Office of Management and Budget standards on race and ethnicity were used to classify persons into one of the following five racial groups: White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, or Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. Those reporting more than one race were classified as "Two or more races." Data on race and Hispanic origin are collected separately but combined for reporting. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Included as "Other, non-Hispanic" but not shown separately are American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and "Two or more races," due to the small sample size.

NOTE: Dates shown are the last day of each Household Pulse Survey (HPS) 13-day data collection period. Adult respondents were asked to indicate whether this statement was often true, sometimes true, or never true in the last 7 days for the children living in the household who are under age 18: "The children were not eating enough because we just couldn't afford enough food." Responses of "often true" indicate very low food sufficiency, and "sometimes true" indicates low food sufficiency, while "never true" indicates food sufficient. Child food insufficiency includes low and very low food sufficiency. The child food insufficiency question was not included in the HPS data collection until week 6; therefore, the above figure presents data for Phase 2 through Phase 3.2. These phases encompass four data collection periods from August 19, 2020, to October 11, 2021. Data were not collected during December 22, 2020–January 5, 2021, March 30–April 13, 2021, and July 6–20, 2021.

NOTE: Figure presents data from pooled Household Pulse Survey weeks for the dates shown. Data were collected during Phases 2, 3, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, Weeks 13–41 (August 19, 2020, through January 10, 2022). Data were not collected during December 22, 2020–January 5, 2021, and July 6–20, 2021.

NOTE: Figure reflects data collected in Phases 3.2 and 3.3, Weeks 33–41 (June 23, 2021, through January 10, 2022), except for poverty status, which reflects data collected in Weeks 34–41 (July 21, 2021, through January 10, 2022). Data were not collected during July 6–20, 2021. Households are categorized by income as a percentage of Federal Poverty Guidelines. Categorization is subject to minor error because incomes in Household Pulse Survey data are grouped into ranges. The 1997 U.S. Office of Management and Budget standards on race and ethnicity were used to classify persons into one of the following four racial groups: White, Black, Asian, and Other. The "Other, non-Hispanic" category may include persons of the following races: American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander or a combination of "Two or more races." Data on race and Hispanic origin are collected separately. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.

Data were not collected or available during October 13–November 29, 2021, December 15–27, 2021, and January 12–24, 2022. Survey item: "At any time in the last 4 weeks, were any children in the household unable to attend daycare or another child care arrangement as a result of child care being closed, unavailable, unaffordable, or because you are concerned about your child's safety in care? Please include before school care, after school care, and all other forms of child care that were unavailable. Select only one answer: (1) Yes, (2) No, (3) Not applicable." Figure data only include households with children who answered "Yes" or "No." Households with children who answered "Not applicable" were excluded from the denominator. Households with missing data on poverty status were included in the overall estimates of disrupted child care, but excluded from the estimates by poverty status. Poverty status is based on family income and household size using 2020 U.S. Census Bureau poverty thresholds.

NOTE: NH = non-Hispanic origin. Deaths from COVID-19 are classified according to the underlying cause-of-death code *U07.1 from the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. It can take several weeks for death records to be submitted to the National Center for Health Statistics, processed, and tabulated. Therefore, the data shown in this figure may be incomplete and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during the given time periods, especially data for 2021. Provisional deaths for 2021 are based on a current flow of mortality data in the National Vital Statistics System. Provisional counts include deaths occurring in the 50 states and the District of Columbia that have been received through April 16, 2022, as of May 1, 2022. Data on race and Hispanic origin are collected and reported separately. The race categories are based on the 1997 U.S. Office of Management and Budget standards on race and ethnicity and all categories are single race. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. The "Total" includes children who classify as American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and "Two or more races." The number of deaths for these race groups are not shown separately because the number of deaths are too small to meet reporting standards.

NOTE: CLRD = chronic lower respiratory diseases. Cause of death is classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. Provisional 2021 data are not used for leading causes of death because any reclassifications of cause of death in final data may affect the rank order of causes. Rates are less likely to change due to a few reclassified deaths because they are based on the number of deaths per 100,000 population.

NOTE: Respondents with unknown information on their perception of the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on their substance use were excluded.
