Employment and Health Burden Changes Among Medicaid Expansion Enrollees
This cohort study evaluates the association between employment status and level of health burden among beneficiaries of a Michigan Medicaid health plan
A Pilot Program to Promote Maternal and Infant Oral Health Through Collaboration Between Dental and Obstetric Providers: Impact on Dental Visits During Pregnancy
The MIMIOH program was successful at increasing dental visits among pregnant women during periods of active participation
Association between dental visits during pregnancy and setting for prenatal care
Medicaid-enrolled women who receive prenatal care at an FQHC are more likely to have a dental visit during pregnancy than their counterparts who receive prenatal care in a non-FQHC setting
Trends in Use of Medication to Treat Opioid Use Disorder During the Covid-19 Pandemic in 10 State Medicaid Programs
In this cross-sectional study of Medicaid enrollees, the likelihood of receipt of any MOUD was stable from May 2019 through December 2020 despite concerns about potential COVID-19 pandemic-related disruptions in care. However, immediately after the PHE was declared, there was a reduction in overall MOUD initiations, including a reduction in in-person MOUD initiations that was only partially offset by increased use of telehealth
Peer-Led Focus Groups Identify Barriers to Healthy Lifestyle in African American Adolescents from Baltimore City
Engagement of Black youth in CBPR projects can yield valuable data to design more culturally responsive and developmentally appropriate interventions. Youth are competent collectors of information to identify needed changes in their schools/communities and about the use of technology/social media to facilitate improved health practices among their peers and should be involved early in the process of developing targeted obesity prevention interven…
Parent opinion on peer support programs to promote adolescent mental health
Design, Implementation, and Evolution of the Medicaid Outcomes Distributed Research Network (MODRN)
BACKGROUND: In the US, Medicaid covers over 80 million Americans. Comparing access, quality, and costs across Medicaid programs can provide policymakers with much-needed information. As each Medicaid agency collects its member data, multiple barriers prevent sharing Medicaid data between states. To address this gap, the Medicaid Outcomes Distributed Research Network (MODRN) developed a research network of states to conduct rapid multi-state analy…
Beneficiaries' perspectives on improved oral health and its mediators after Medicaid expansion in Michigan: A mixed methods study
Michigan's Medicaid expansion contributed to self-reported improved oral health, which was associated with improved job outcomes. Policymakers should consider the importance of Medicaid dental coverage in reducing oral health disparities and improving the health and socioeconomic well-being of low-income adults and communities when considering this optional benefit
Shifting from “Community-Placed” to “Community-Based” Research to Advance Health Equity: A Case Study of the Heatwaves, Housing, and Health: Increasing Climate Resiliency in Detroit (HHH) Partnership
Extreme summertime heat is a significant public health threat that disproportionately impacts vulnerable urban populations. Research on health impacts of climate change (including increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of hot weather) is sometimes designed and implemented without the involvement of the communities being studied, i.e., "community-placed" not "community-based." We describe how the Heatwaves, Housing, and Health: Increasing C…
Gender Role Beliefs and Parents' Support for Athletic Participation
Pay-to-play fees in public schools place more support for sport participation in the hands of parents; this may disproportionately affect the ability of girls to garner the benefits of sports. Using an online survey of a national sample of parents ( N = 814), we examined the relationship between parents' gender role beliefs, parents' beliefs about the benefits and monetary value of sports, and the types of sports their daughters play. The results…
Perinatal Preparation for Effective Parenting Behaviors: A Nationally Representative Survey of Patient Attitudes and Preferences
Statewide Pandemic Influenza Vaccination Reminders for Children with Chronic Conditions
Objectives. We evaluated the use of a statewide immunization information system (IIS) to target influenza vaccine reminders to high-risk children during a pandemic. Methods. We used Michigan’s IIS to identify high-risk children (i.e., those with ≥ 1 chronic condition) aged 6 months to 18 years with no record of pH1N1 vaccination among children currently or previously enrolled in Medicaid (n = 202 133). Reminders were mailed on December 7, 2009. W…
Outpatient Utilization by Infants Auto-assigned to Medicaid Managed Care Plans
Obstetricians and the 2009–2010 H1N1 Vaccination Effort: Implications for Future Pandemics
Our objective was to describe the experiences of obstetricians during the 2009-2010 H1N1 vaccination campaign in order to identify possible improvements for future pandemic situations. We conducted a cross-sectional mail survey of a national random sample of 4,000 obstetricians, fielded in Summer 2010. Survey items included availability, recommendation, and patient acceptance of H1N1 vaccine; prioritization of H1N1 vaccine when supply was limited…
Invisible Women: Using Qualitative Research
Private provider participation in statewide immunization registries
Most registry participants report active participation with few problems. The problems they report are generally consistent with the barriers anticipated by non-participants, but did not impede participation. Recruitment efforts should focus on demonstrating the benefits of the registry to providers. In addition, many participants are not utilizing the full range of registry features; further study is needed to determine how best to increase use …
The role of state policies and programs in buffering the effects of poverty on children's immunization receipt
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the influence of public policies on the immunization status of 2-year old children in the United States. METHODS: Up-to-dateness for the primary immunization series was assessed in a national sample of 8100 children from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey and its 1991 Longitudinal Follow-Up. RESULTS: Documented immunization rates of this sample were 33% for poor children and 44% for others. More wi…

Public‐sector Immunization Coverage in 11 States: The Status of Rural Areas
This report uses county‐level immunization data generated by state public health agencies to explore the rural‐urban variation in the delivery of childhood immunizations in the public sector. Public health department‐documented immunization coverage rates for 1995 were obtained from 882 counties in 11 states east of the Mississippi River. To assess the possible association between public health department immunization coverage rates and county ru…
