New in @Health_Affairs, we find that Massachusetts' #Medicaid ACO program was associated with increased care engagement and some quality improvements in the prenatal and postpartum periods. Perinatal health outcome measures were unchanged.

Out today in @JAMA_current with @meganbcole and @nhuberfeld1: Georgia’s first in the nation partial Medicaid expansion with work requirements is likely to have limited reach, provide unstable coverage, and have little effect on employment.

I originally applied 5 years ago and wasn't selected. I decided to try again this year and am so thrilled that I did. I've been paying off my student loans for 14 years and counting, so it's never too late.
Happy to share my materials with anyone who would find them helpful!

[Megan Cole, PhD, MPH @meganbcole]

Returning here to share that I received an @NIH_LRP award from @NIMHD!, after being inspired by all of the Twitter announcements last year. I hope seeing this inspires others to do the same.
