  • Postpartum severe maternal morbidity

    Open AccessMichael R Kramer, Kaitlyn K Stanhope et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is a composite measure comprising a spectrum of pregnancy-related complications that have substantial implications for short- and long-term maternal health. Existing research focuses primarily on the occurrence of SMM at delivery, but growing evidence points to risks throughout the post-partum period. While racial, ethnic, economic, and geographic disparities in SMM are well documented, the underlying drivers of in…

  • Severe Maternal Morbidity in Georgia, 2009–2020

    Open AccessMichael R Kramer, Katie Labgold et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2023References: 28

    BACKGROUND: The increasing focus of population surveillance and research on maternal-and not only fetal and infant-health outcomes is long overdue. The United States maternal mortality rate is higher than any other high-income country, and Georgia is among the highest rates in the country. Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is conceived of as a "near miss" for maternal mortality, is 50 times more common than maternal death, and efforts to systematic…

    The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) will substantially increase public health insurance eligibility and alter the costs of insurance coverage. Using Current Population Survey (CPS) data from the period 2000–2008, we examine the effects of public and private health insurance premiums on the insurance status of low-income childless adults, a population substantially affected by the ACA. Results show higher public premiums to be ass…

  • The Impact of the Individual Mandate and Internal Revenue Service Form 990 Schedule H on Community Benefits From Nonprofit Hospitals

    Kristine Principe, Kristine E Principe et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2012Cited by: 3References: 10

    In response to a growing concern that nonprofit hospitals are not providing sufficient benefit to their communities in return for their tax-exempt status, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) now requires nonprofit hospitals to formally document the extent of their community contributions. While the IRS is increasing financial scrutiny of nonprofit hospitals, many provisions in the recently passed historical health reform legislation will also have…

    This study linked data from the Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Registry to Medicaid enrollment and claims to test whether the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act (BCCPTA), which provided a new and quicker pathway to Medicaid eligibility for low-income breast cancer patients, led to more patients enrolling at an early stage of disease. Results based on difference-in-differences analysis indicated that Georgia's BCCPTA increased b…

This study highlights the importance of understanding the meaning of smoking in different social contexts so future tobacco control interventions can be developed to reduce health and social inequalities

  • The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and Prepregnancy Coverage of Teenage Mothers

    E Kathleen Adams, Norma I Gavin et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2008References: 19

    BACKGROUND: The 1997 State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) program allowed states to expand Medicaid to uninsured children through age 18 in families under 200% of the federal poverty level. Prepregnancy insurance coverage of adolescents may help reduce unintended pregnancies, address other medical issues, and allow for early and adequate prenatal care for those carrying to term. OBJECTIVES: We tested the effects of SCHIP implementati…

  • The stigma of public programs

    Open AccessPatricia Ketsche, E Kathleen Adams et al.ARTICLEJournal of Policy Analysis and…2007Cited by: 4References: 1

    Previous studies suggest access to and satisfaction with care may be different for enrollees in S-CHIP and Medicaid, but it is unclear whether those differences are fully explained by socioeconomic characteristics of the enrollees. We analyze access and satisfaction of three groups of children: Medicaid enrolled, S-CHIP enrolled, and children who are income eligible for Medicaid but carry a card similar to the state's S-CHIP children's card. Both…
