Definition

The percent of parents who report completing a questionnaire or going through a checklist of questions with their 3-year-old child's health care provider about the child's development during the past 12 months. This indicator is stratified by Alaska Public Health Region.

Notes

Two years of data were combined to minimize the unreliability of measurement due to the small number of actual events. The reported values are averages across two years.  For example, we report the average value across the years 2015 and 2016.
The percentages reported above have been produced by weighting the survey results so that estimates better represent the Alaska population.
