Since April 2020, the Stanford Center on Early Childhood has been using the RAPID Survey Project to ask families with young children about their ability to meet basic needs. RAPID measures material hardship by asking parents if they are experiencing difficulty paying for basic needs, such as food, housing, utilities, child care, healthcare, and wellness activities. This factsheet shares findings and parent responses from a March 2023 survey.
