In order to document the impact of Tourette Syndrome on the health care needs of children, and access to health care among youth with Tourette Syndrome, parent-reported data from the 2007?2008 National Survey of Children?s Health were analyzed. Children with Tourette Syndrome had more co-occurring mental disorders than children with asthma or children without Tourette Syndrome or asthma, and had health care needs that were equal to or greater than children with asthma (no Tourette Syndrome) or children with neither asthma nor Tourette Syndrome. Health care needs were greatest among children with Tourette Syndrome and co-occuring mental disorders, and these children were least likely to receive effective care coordination. Addressing co-occurring conditions may improve the health and well-being of children with Tourette Syndrome. Strategies such as integration of behavioral health and primary care may be needed to improve care coordination.
