Abstract
Objectives. Although much of the economic impact of child care-associated illness in the United States is due to parents' time lost from work, there are no data on the incidence of absence due to illness among children in various types of out-of-home child care settings in the United States. The goals of this study were to compare the incidence of illness and absence due to illness among children attending child care homes (CCHs) and child care centers (CCCs).Keywords
