MethodologyMethodology
The premise of an estimated prevalence The premise of an estimated prevalence model is rooted in the notion that all model is rooted in the notion that all communitiescommunities within a state Part C system within a state Part C system should serve the same should serve the same percentage of percentage of childrenchildren; ; except forexcept for accounting accounting (indexing)(indexing) for community differences in for community differences in population population characteristicscharacteristics that are likely predictors of that are likely predictors of participation in early intervention.participation in early intervention.
SICC Presentation November 2006SICC Presentation November 2006
Steps in the prevalence study:Steps in the prevalence study: Define the community for which you are estimating
prevalence (ISDs). Calculate the percentage of children currently in
service in each community. Select a projection model (i.e. population variables
that are predictors of participation in early intervention).
Compute an index. Estimated prevalence projection. Decide how results will play a role in your system. Continue to review, refine and update.

prevalence

Step 3. Step 3. SeSelect a projection model
The projection model is made up of population variables that are predictors of participation in early intervention, typically social risk factors or health risk factors.
There should be evidence of a link between the population variable and early intervention (e.g. through epidemiological studies, National Early Intervention Longitudinal Study, identified in IDEA as a target population, etc.)

Step 3. Step 3. REQUIRED Data Characteristics!
1. Data must be readily available;
2. Must be population-based data rather than participatory counts (e.g. birth certificate data, Census data);
3. Must have a long history of consistent data collection;
4. The data must be statistically reliable;
5. The data must be available as both numbers and rates; and
6. The data must be available for the state and county/ISD.

Step 3. Step 3. SMALL GROUP WORKSMALL GROUP WORK
Review Review Population data for your community
• Use Worksheet 1, and Table 1 from your LICC’s Data folder.
• Take about 15 minutes to review the questions on Worksheet 1 with your LICC members.
SICC Presentation November 2006SICC Presentation November 2006
Step 4. Step 4. Compute an index
• The ‘Index’ is the number that accounts for community differences.
• Divide the percent of children in service by the sum of the population variables chosen for the model.
• The highest resulting number from across the communities will be the index that will be applied universally.
• It is important to verify that the index community has a reliable and valid percent of children in service, is using the state definition of eligibility, is using an eligibility determination process that is in compliance with rules and regulations, and their data represents an established pattern of service.
