NPCH Focus Area: Healthcare
Can teenagers manage their own healthcare? What should be included in sports physicals? How much are parents willing to pay for an email consultation with their kids' doctors? By asking timely questions about healthcare to parents and the general public, NPCH is able to measure parental understanding of healthcare provider advice and gauge their interest in healthcare services and policies.
