According to the source, diagnosed arthritis was defined as parents answering “yes” to the question, “Has a doctor or other health care provider ever told you that this child has arthritis?”

Race was recoded from responses to the question, “What is this child’s race?” and included American Indian or Alaska Native, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, White, and two or more races. The 2017 and 2018 surveys included a response for “Some other race only,” which are coded as missing. Persons of Hispanic or Latino (Hispanic) origin might be of any race but are categorized as Hispanic; all racial groups are non-Hispanic.
