About

This indicator is the percentage of children born in a given year who attended a Healthy Toddler Assessment between the ages of 18 and 24 months. The Healthy Toddler Assessment is offered to all children in New Brunswick when they turn 18 months old. The purpose is to assess and support the healthy growth and development of young children and their families. Children are able to have the assessment up until they turn 2 years of age.

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of Healthy Toddler Assessment (HTA) visits by 18-24 month old children (by child’s year of birth) by the number of children eligible for a Healthy Toddler Assessment visit (by child’s year of birth).

Notes

The numerator is a count of the number children who had a HTA visit by the age of 24 months (children receive their HTA visit between 18-24 months of age). The denominator is the number of 18-month-old children eligible for the HTA. As a result, the denominator would not capture children who move into the province between 18 and 24 months of age who may become eligible for the HTA, nor would it capture children who moved out of province between 18 and 24 months and are thus no longer eligible for the HTA.
