Impact
PINQ’s commitment to whole child health is
reflected in our focus areas
The COVID-19 pandemic worsened existing care gaps in providing evidence-based care for children. In Ohio, less than half of youth receive their annual well child visit. Behavioral health service utilization has skyrocketed:
Nearly 30% drop in Medicaid and CHIP-enrolled children 0-2 years of age who received vaccinations (January to May 2020)
40% decrease in health screenings
Nearly 75% reduction in dental services
353% increase in demand for mental and behavioral health services (2013-2019)
Additional 70% increase in demand for mental and behavioral health services (2021)
Steadily diminishing behavioral health services workforce
PINQ accelerates and expands efforts to eliminate inequities around outcomes and access. Our work centers on:
Screening
Prevention
