Variability among state Crippled Children's Service programs: pluralism thrives.

H T Ireys, R J Hauck, J M Perrin

    American Journal of Public Health
    |April 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    State Crippled Children's Services (CCS) programs show wide variation in services and coverage. Wealthier programs serve more children, and surgical disorders are more frequently covered than medical or behavioral ones.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Services Research
    • Pediatric Healthcare Policy

    Background:

    • The Crippled Children's Service (CCS) program has a long history of providing services to children with disabilities.
    • Understanding the current state of CCS programs is crucial for identifying areas for improvement and ensuring equitable care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the history of the CCS program.
    • To report on the results of a 1981 survey of state CCS programs.
    • To identify factors influencing variability in program operations.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical review of the CCS program.
    • Analysis of a 1981 survey data from state CCS programs.
    • Statistical correlation analysis of program variables.

    Main Results:

    • Significant variability exists among state CCS programs regarding the number of children served, conditions covered, and services provided.
    • Organizational, economic, and demographic variables showed limited correlation with program variations.
    • Higher per capita expenditures correlated with a greater percentage of children served (r=.40, p<.02).
    • CCS programs provided greater coverage for surgical disorders compared to medical or behavioral disorders (p<.001).

    Conclusions:

    • Historical and leadership factors significantly influence the functioning of state CCS programs.
    • Programmatic variations highlight the need for standardization and targeted interventions.
    • Financial resources appear to play a role in the extent of child reach within CCS programs.
