Projected Health System and Economic Impacts of 2025 Medicaid Policy Proposals
Open AccessSanjay Basu, Sadiq Y Patel et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2025
This study uses a microsimulation model to understand broader consequences of the 2025 Budget Reconciliation Bill on health outcomes, health systems, and local economies
Heterogeneity in associations between food insecurity and diabetes outcomes
Stephen A Berkowitz, Mufeng Gao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2025Referencias: 28
BACKGROUND: Food insecurity is associated with worse diabetes outcomes, but how that association may vary across individuals is unclear. We sought to better understand possible heterogeneity in the association between food insecurity and diabetes outcomes. METHODS: Longitudinal cohort study of adults with type 2 diabetes assessed for food insecurity in community-based health centres. Diabetes outcomes were haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic and di…
Association of food insecurity with mental health status, mental health services utilisation and general healthcare utilisation among US adults
Sungchul Park, Stephen A BerkowitzARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 34
BACKGROUND: Food insecurity poses a substantial threat to mental health. However, there is limited understanding of how food-insecure adults experience mental health challenges and access necessary health services. We examined the association of food insecurity with mental health status, mental health service utilisation and general healthcare utilisation among US adults. METHODS: A retrospective longitudinal cohort study was conducted to analyse…
Estimating the impact of addressing food needs on diabetes outcomes
Open AccessStephen A Berkowitz, Aileen Ochoa et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2024
We estimated that not experiencing food needs may be associated with modestly better diabetes outcomes. These findings support testing interventions that address food needs as part of their mechanism of action
Food Insecurity Prevalence and Risk Factors among Persons with HIV in a Southeastern US Clinical Care Setting
Open AccessLara A Valerio, Michelle Castillo Rzepka et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024
Financing Health Care System Interventions Addressing Social Risks
Open AccessStephen A Berkowitz, Seth A Berkowitz et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2023
This Viewpoint discusses the benefits and drawbacks of health care involvement in social risk interventions and presents proposals to finance such involvement
Understanding food insecurity risk in the United States
Open AccessStephen A Berkowitz, Hilary K Seligman et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023
The proposed understanding accords with the pattern of food insecurity risk observed in the U.S. An implication is that transfer income programs for individuals inhabiting roles, such as childhood and disability, that limit factor payment system participation may reduce food insecurity risk for both those individuals and those in their household
Potential gaps in income support policies for those in poor health
Open AccessStephen A Berkowitz, Gaurav Dave et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023
EITC program design creates an important gap in income support for those for whom poor health limits work, which is not closed by other programs. Filling this gap is an important public health goal
Social Determinants of Health and Diabetes
Open AccessFelicia Hill-Briggs, Felicia Hill‐Briggs et al.ARTICLEDiabetes Care2021
Decades of research have demonstrated that diabetes affects racial and ethnic minority and low-income adult populations in the U.S. disproportionately, with relatively intractable patterns seen in these populations’ higher risk of diabetes and rates of diabetes complications and mortality (1). With a health care shift toward greater emphasis on population health outcomes and value-based care, social determinants of health (SDOH) have risen to the…
Association between hourly wages and dietary intake after the first phase of implementation of the Minneapolis minimum wage ordinance
Open AccessLeah Elizabeth Chapman, Stephen A Berkowitz et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2021
Objective: In 2018, Minneapolis began phased implementation of an ordinance to increase the local minimum wage to $15/h. We sought to determine whether the first phase of implementation was associated with changes in frequency of consumption of fruits and vegetables (F&V), whole-grain-rich foods, and foods high in added sugars among low-wage workers. Design: Natural experiment. Setting: The Wages Study is a prospective cohort study of 974 low-wag…
Population Health Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Community-Supported Agriculture Among Low-Income US Adults
Sanjay Basu, Jessica O'Neill et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2020Referencias: 39
Objectives. To estimate the population-level effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a subsidized community-supported agriculture (CSA) intervention in the United States. Methods. In 2019, we developed a microsimulation model from nationally representative demographic, biomedical, and dietary data (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2013–2016) and a community-based randomized trial (conducted in Massachusetts from 2017 to 2018). We…
Association of Primary Care Physician Supply With Population Mortality in the United States, 2005-2015
Sanjay Basu, Stephen A Berkowitz et al.ARTICLEJAMA Internal Medicine2019
Importance: Recent US health care reforms incentivize improved population health outcomes and primary care functions. It remains unclear how much improving primary care physician supply can improve population health, independent of other health care and socioeconomic factors. Objectives: To identify primary care physician supply changes across US counties from 2005-2015 and associations between such changes and population mortality. Design, Setti…
Subsistence difficulties are associated with more barriers to quitting and worse abstinence outcomes among homeless smokers
Open AccessTravis P Baggett, Aziz Yaqubi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02565381
The Monthly Cycle of Hypoglycemia
Open AccessSanjay Basu, Stephen A Berkowitz et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017Referencias: 25
BACKGROUND: Multipayer initiatives have sought to address social determinants of health, such as food insecurity, by linking primary care patients to social services. It remains unclear whether such social determinants contribute to avoidable short-term health care costs. OBJECTIVES: We sought to quantify costs and mitigating factors for the increased risk of hypoglycemia at the end of each month among low-income Americans, a phenomenon related t…
Re-evaluating associations between the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participation and body mass index in the context of unmeasured confounders

The Relationship Between Food Insecurity, Dietary Patterns, and Obesity
Open AccessMary E Morales, Stephen A Berkowitz et al.ARTICLECurrent Nutrition Reports2016
Use of maternal health services
Open AccessKatherine Kentoffio, Stephen A Berkowitz et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2016
Impact of a Social Work Care Coordination Intervention on Hospital Readmission
Laura R Bronstein, P Gould et al.ARTICLESocial Work2015Citada por: 6
This study assessed how a social work-led care coordination intervention would reduce the within-30-day hospital readmission rate among moderate- and high-risk patients age 50 years or older. Authors ran a randomized controlled trial to determine whether there was a significant difference in within-30-day readmission rates between patients receiving usual care post-discharge and those receiving intervention from an MSW intern (one home visit and …
