The effect of a Medicaid managed care program on the adequacy of prenatal care utilization in Rhode Island
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether adequacy of prenatal care utilization improved after the implementation of a Medicaid managed care program in Rhode Island.

Logistic regression models were used to characterize the variation in prenatal care ade…
