This chartbook presents the major findings of the National Survey of Children's Health on the health of children in rural areas. Aspects of health measured for ages 0-17 were oral, physical, and mental health; health care utilization and insurance status; and social well-being. Family structure, poverty level, parental health and habits, and community surroundings were assessed, along with age, sex, race and ethnicity, and family income.
