Severe functional difficulties and disabilities in children and adolescents and the Sustainable Development Goals.

OBJECTIVE: To report prevalence of severe child functional difficulties and disability (CFD) in a nationally representative sample of 2 to 17 year-old children in Mexico and describe the inequities faced by children with CFD in relation to a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-related outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using data from the National Survey of Children and Women (ENIM 2015) we estimate prevalence with 95% confidence intervals for the selected indicators. We use chi-square test and confidence intervals inspection to report significant differences between children with and without CFD. RESULTS: 8% of children present at least one CFD. CFD is associated with higher prevalence of underweight and child labor and lower prevalence of adequate early child development. Conclusion. Children with CFD present worst outcomes and require targeted efforts to ensure they meet health and wellbeing targets in the frame of the SDGs.

OBJECTIVE:: To describe the methodology and the implementation survey results from National Survey of Children and Women Mexico's (ENIM 2015). MATERIALS AND METHODS:: The ENIM 2015 is a probability survey with multistage, stratified and cluster sample, with regional, rural and urban strata, and indigenous population representation.We applied questionnaires to get information from the household, women aged 15 to 49 years, children under five years and children and adolescents aged 5-17 years. RESULTS:: The response rate for households and women was 94%, obtaining information from 10 760 households and 12 110 women; while for children and adolescents and children under five years was 98%, 11 607 and 8 066, respectively. CONCLUSION:: The ENIM 2015 probabilistic design allows generate indicators that can be stratified into five regions, rural and urban strata and from indigenous population, as well as a baseline for 15 indicators of the ODS.

Abstract: Objective: To report prevalence of severe child functional difficulties and disability (CFD) in a nationally representative sample of 2 to 17 year-old children in Mexico and describe the inequities faced by children with CFD in relation to a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-related outcomes.

Resumen: Objetivo: Reportar la prevalencia de problemas severos de funcionamiento y discapacidad (CFD) en una muestra representativa de niños y niñas de 2 a 17 años en México y describir las inequidades enfrentadas por los niños y niñas con CFD respecto a un conjunto de indicadores relacionados con los objetivos de desarrollo sustentable (ODS). Material y métodos: A partir de datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Niñas, Niños y Mujeres en México (ENIM 2015), se estiman prevalencias e intervalos de confianza al 95% para indicadores seleccionados. Se usa prueba de ji cuadrada e intervalos de confianza para reportar diferencias significativas entre niños/as con y sin CFD. Resultados: 8% de los niños presentan al menos un CFD. Los CFD se asocian con mayor prevalencia de bajo-peso y trabajo infantil, y con menor prevalencia de desarrollo infantil temprano adecuado. Conclusión: Los niños con CFD presentan resultados desventajosos, y requieren esfuerzos enfocados que garanticen el alcance de las metas de salud y bienestar en el contexto de los ODS.

Resumen: Objetivo: Describir la metodología y los resultados del levantamiento de la Encuesta Nacional de Niños, Niñas y Mujeres en México (ENIM 2015). Material y métodos: La ENIM 2015 es una encuesta probabilística con muestreo polietápico, estratificado y por conglomerados, con representatividad regional, por estratos rural y urbano, y para la población indígena. Se aplicaron cuestionarios para obtener información sobre el hogar, mujeres de 15 a 49 años, niños y niñas menores de cinco años y niños y niñas y adolescentes de 5 a 17 años. Resultados: La tasa de respuesta en hogares y en mujeres fue de 94%; se obtuvo información de 10 760 hogares y 12 110 mujeres; para los niños y niñas y adolescentes y niños y niñas menores de cinco años, estos valores fueron de 98%, 11 607 y 8 066, respectivamente. Conclusión: El diseño probabilístico de la ENIM 2015 permite generar indicadores que se pueden desagregar en cinco regiones, para los estratos rural y urbano y para la población indígena, así como una línea base para 15 indicadores de los ODS.
