New study from @LabCambridge published in @JAMAInternalMed, led by @harvardmed student Taylor Weckstein, finds that homeless people are 27x more likely to wind up in the ER for heat-related illness.
New Study from the Cambridge Health Justice Lab finds that states with abortion bans/restrictions also provide worse general medical care to pregnant women, including those with chronic diseases — differences largely explained by generosity of state Medicaid eligibility.
Our new study just published in @AmJPrevMed. Many states have imposed new bans or restrictions on abortion since Roe v. Wade was overturned. We examined healthcare access among pregnant women in these (compared to other) states …
New @LabCambridge study out at @JAMA_current finds that a large number of healthcare workers face deportation risk — likely exacerbating already severe staffing shortages.
Disparities in asthma burden emerge in the earliest years of life, new Cambridge Health Justice Lab study finds, published in @AnnalsATS.

Our new study just up in @JournalGIM looks at RSV vaccine uptake in MA towns — finding *lower* uptake in communities with *higher* pulmonary risk (e.g. COPD prevalence), & higher uptake in wealthier towns. In other words, not going where it's needed

New @LabCambridge study examines RSV vaccination across Massachusetts. Finds that rates are worse in places with higher risk of severe respiratory disease, and better in wealthier places. Current approach doesn't appear to target to where most needed.

In contrast, unemployment and uninsurance are associated with lower healthcare spending for the non-Medicare population, but actually higher spending under Medicare. This may suggest spillovers, supporting a role for health (supply) planning rather than demand management.
New @LabCambride study examines differences in state-level healthcare spending over 20 years. States with more hospital beds and doctors have higher healthcare spending, both under Medicare and for other patients.
