Where Is the Break-even Point for Community Health Workers? Using National Data and Local Programmatic Costs to Find the Break-even Point for a Metropolitan Community Health Worker Program
BACKGROUND: Community health worker (CHW) programs take many forms and have been shown to be effective in improving health in several contexts. The extent to which they reduce unnecessary care is not firmly established. OBJECTIVES: This study estimates the number of hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits that would need to be avoided to recoup program costs for a CHW program that addressed both medical and social needs. RESEARCH DE…

Effect of the Affordable Care Act on Breastfeeding Outcomes
Objectives. To assess how the 2012 Affordable Care Act (ACA) policy change, which required most private health insurance plans to cover lactation-support services and breastfeeding equipment (without cost-sharing), affected breastfeeding outcomes. Methods. We used a regression-adjusted difference-in-differences approach with cross-sectional observational data from the US National Immunization Survey from 2008 to 2014 to estimate the effect of the…
Awareness and Experience with Affordable Care Act Insurance Exchanges
The success of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its policy goal of increasing health insurance coverage across the United States, particularly for low income populations, rests in part on community-based outreach activities focused on consumer education and strategies to encourage sign–up. This paper draws on focus group data collected to evaluate and learn from one such community effort, located in a two-state region with significant political …

The Association Between Social Stressors and Home Smoking Rules Among Women With Infants in the United States
Objectives. We examined the role of social stressors on home-smoking rules (HSRs) among women with infants in the United States, with attention on the moderating role of smoking status and depression. Methods. We analyzed data for 118 062 women with recent births in the United States who participated in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (2004–2010), which is a population-based surveillance data set. We fit multinomial logistic model…
Heterogeneity in the Determinants of Local Self-Employment Growth by Gender, Age and Selected Industry
Hammond G. W. and Gurley-Calvez T. Heterogeneity in the determinants of local self-employment growth by gender, age and selected industry, Regional Studies. This study explores the determinants of self-employment growth across US regions and by gender, age group and industry. It uses Public Use Micro Sample (PUMS) data for the 2000–2006 period and finds that self-employment growth was faster for women than for men; that growth in the 45–64-year a…
Choice in Public Health Insurance
This paper examines the factors that affect plan choice in a public health insurance program. West Virginia recently redesigned its state Medicaid program, offering members a choice between two plans--a basic plan and an enhanced plan. The latter plan includes more benefits, but requires additional agreements intended to lead patients to adopt healthier lifestyles. We use administrative claims records and survey data to examine plan choice. Our r…
