We analyzed findings from the 2009-2010 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs to identify associations between families with children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) reporting adequate care coordination (CC) with family-provider relations, shared decision making (SDM), and child outcomes. Eligible subjects were the 98% of families asked about CC, service use, and communication. Bivariate analysis using χ2 tests were performed on binary outcome variables to determine the strength of the associations between CC and independent and dependent variables. Weighted, multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to assess independent associations of adequate CC with child outcomes and associations of SDM on adequate CC. Among families of CYSHCN asked about CC, 72% reported receiving help with CC. Of these, 55% reported receiving adequate CC. Family report of adequate CC was favorably associated with family-provider relations, child outcomes, and report of provider participation in SDM.
