Early effects of scheduling gabapentin on medication adherence among epilepsy patients on gabapentin in Virginia
Buprenorphine Treatment in Pregnancy and Maternal-Infant Outcomes
In this cohort study of pregnant individuals with OUD, buprenorphine treatment was associated with improved outcomes for the mother and infant, underscoring the need to improve access to treatment nationwide
Adolescent Treatment Landscape of Depression, Suicidality, and Substance Use Disorder in the US
The results of this cross-sectional survey study suggest that adolescents and young adults with SUDs rarely received treatment. Adolescents are especially vulnerable to treatment gaps once reaching young adulthood, and medications for opioid use disorder are systematically underused, especially for adolescents
Voter Support for Policies Associated With Child Health as National Campaign Priorities
The study results suggest that most voters favor candidates who strongly support policies that are associated with child health. Voter support differs substantively by gender and political party affiliation and may be associated with language choices in messaging about policy change
Use of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder and Child Welfare Outcomes
This cohort study investigates whether use of medications for opioid use disorder in pregnancy is associated with higher rates of infants discharge home with their mothers after birth

Consistency and Adequacy of Public and Commercial Health Insurance for US Children, 2016 to 2021
The findings of this cross-sectional study indicate that insurance gaps are a particular problem for publicly insured children, whereas insurance inadequacy and particularly, out-of-pocket costs are a challenge for commercially insured children. Both challenges improved during the COVID-19 PHE. Improving children's health coverage after the PHE will require policy solutions that target the unique needs of commercially and publicly insured childre…
Prevalence of Buprenorphine Providers Requiring Cash Payment From Insured Women Seeking Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
CONTEXT: Medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) are known to be effective, especially in reducing the risk of overdose death. Yet, many individuals suffering from OUD are not receiving treatment. One potential barrier can be the patient's ability to access providers through their insurance plans. DATA AND METHODS: We used an audit (simulated patient) study methodology to examine appointment-granting behavior by buprenorphine prescribers in 10 …
County-level Factors and Treatment Access Among Insured Women With Opioid Use Disorder
BACKGROUND: An over 40% increase in overdose deaths within the past 2 years and low levels of engagement in treatment call for a better understanding of factors that influence access to medication for opioid use disorder (OUD). OBJECTIVE: To examine whether county-level characteristics influence a caller's ability to secure an appointment with an OUD treatment practitioner, either a buprenorphine-waivered prescriber or an opioid treatment program…
The Association between Nicu Admission and Mental Health Diagnoses among Commercially Insured Postpartum Women in the US, 2010–2018
Maternal mental health (MH) conditions represent a leading cause of preventable maternal death in the US. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) hospitalization influences MH symptoms among postpartum women, but a paucity of research uses national samples to explore this relationship. Using national administrative data, we examined the rates of MH diagnoses of anxiety and/or depression among those with and without an infant admitted to a NICU betwee…
Association of Individual and Community Factors With Hepatitis C Infections Among Pregnant People and Newborns
In this cross-sectional study, maternal and newborn HCV infections increased substantially between 2009 and 2019, disproportionately among White and AI/AN people without a 4-year degree. County-level factors, including higher levels of employment, were associated with lower individual risks of acquiring the virus
Reproductive-Age Women's Experience of Accessing Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
Prescription Opioid Dose After Vaginal Delivery and the Risk of Serious Opioid-Related Events
Well-being of Parents and Children During the Covid-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: As the coronavirus disease pandemic spread across the United States and protective measures to mitigate its impact were enacted, parents and children experienced widespread disruptions in daily life. Our objective with this national survey was to determine how the pandemic and mitigation efforts affected the physical and emotional well-being of parents and children in the United States through early June 2020. METHODS: In June 2020, w…

Variation in Inpatient Tonsillectomy Costs Within and Between US Hospitals Attributable to Postoperative Complications
BACKGROUND: Tonsillectomy is the second most common inpatient procedure in US children. However, the factors that influence tonsillectomy-related costs are unknown. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to describe variation in US inpatient tonsillectomy costs and examine whether postoperative complications contribute to these disparities in costs. RESEARCH DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study of the 2009 Nationwide Inpatient Sample. …
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and Associated Health Care Expenditures
CONTEXT: Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a postnatal drug withdrawal syndrome primarily caused by maternal opiate use. No national estimates are available for the incidence of maternal opiate use at the time of delivery or NAS. OBJECTIVES: To determine the national incidence of NAS and antepartum maternal opiate use and to characterize trends in national health care expenditures associated with NAS between 2000 and 2009. DESIGN, SETTING, AN…
