National Poll on Children’s Health: New List of Top 10 Parenting Concerns

What is the National Poll on Children’s Health?

Released by the University of Michigan, the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health (NPCH) is designed to assess existing national public opinion, insights and concerns relating to major health care issues and ranks the top 10 concerns parents have regarding their child’s wellbeing.

The NPCH, launched in 2007, notes two things this year:

1. The top six concerns are identical to last year
2. The list—almost everything on it—is avoidable (ie: obesity)

Although such “issues” are preventable, it is up to parents and guardians to guide and educate their children on acting appropriately, while monitoring and (moderately) controlling for better welfare.
