| Summary: | Purpose: To examine geospatial gaps in identification and evaluation of children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) within public child development centers (CDCs).
Methods: A descriptive geospatial design was used to visually depict service gaps, proximity, and clustering of area-level sociodemographic attributes of Virginia counties, and patient-level data within each CDC.
Results: Geospatial analysis shows population density of uninsured children against CDC resources. Data visualization facilitates policy advocacy based on the identification of care and screening gaps for CSHCN.
Conclusion: This project illustrates the collaborative potential between researchers and Health Department members to identify gaps in access to care.
