Representativeness disclaimer
These analyses are based on responses collected from 3265 caregivers between the dates of August 11, 2020 and December 03, 2020. These caregivers represent a range of voices: 7.20% are Black/African American, 15.83% are LatinX, and 26.06% live at or below 1.5 times the federal poverty line. Proportions/percentages are calculated based on the item-level response rates, not out of the total sample size. The data for these analyses are not weighted.

Material hardship
Which needs are hard to pay for?: - Food - Housing - Utilities (electric, water, trash) - Healthcare - Social - Emotional - Childcare - Other
Caregivers grouped into two categories: trouble paying for 1+ basic need, or no trouble paying for any.
For these analyses, data collected in even numbered weeks starting in August were merged with data in the previous week – this was due to a shift to a recruitment strategy that prioritized recruiting underrepresented communities and marginalized caregivers every other week.
Representativeness disclaimer
