💡 thanks @PennLDI for covering our study in @AmJPrevMed, which highlights disproportionate unmet medical + mental health care needs among children & youth exposed to neighborhood violence.
CC @Eugenia_South @tylerwinkelman @AditiVasan @KevenCabreraMD @HHCJ_Lab @PennUHL_
A new study from LDI Fellows @AditiVasan and @Eugenia_South digs into the connections between exposure to neighborhood violence and unmet health care. Cost-related barriers to care were prominent, but pandemic-era policies may have helped. Read more: ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/resea…

Sick of this yet? There's more! Our preprint in @AmJPrevMed shows these inequities translate into what patients actually pay OOP for prevention (which should be free)!
tl;dr: even *conditional on a bill,* disadvantaged groups have larger bills!
Paper: tinyurl.com/5ek28dem
Excited to share new research w/ @michalhorny + @OliviaYu_ out today in @JAMANetworkOpen!
We study insurance denials for preventive care. Denials are 2-3x more likely among disadvantaged groups, and rarely resubmitted, leaving patients on the hook even for preventive care. (1/2)

In a nat. experiment -- K. Haglin and I find that increases in Universal Basic Income (UBI) payment generosity can have a positive effect on health-seeking behavior.
See 🧵 below!

NEW WP from Kathryn Haglin & I:
We provide quasi-experimental evidence from a naturally-occurring experiment that Universal Basic Income (UBI) payments are associated with increased primary care seeking behavior. 🧵

New study out today in @AmJPrevMed. We investigated out-of-school and weekend activities that contribute to meeting 24-hour movement guidelines among US adolescents.
Alongside sports, community service/volunteering was a standout!

📢New article online today in @AmJPrevMed with a fantastic team led by @testaalex! Those who live in historically redlined areas (and people who move into them) have a greater risk of violent victimization from adolescence through adulthood. 📢

What happened after the #VeteransCrisisLine went from ten digits to three?
We took a look at caller contact volume & caller characteristics after the 988 rollout.

#VisualAbstract
ALT This study identifies changes in Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) contact volume following the 988 National Suicide Prevention Hotline rollout and examines changes in contact volume for self-identified Veterans. After the 988 rollout, average monthly VCL contact volume increased by 5,388 contacts (8.2%). The number of contacts self-identifying as Veterans increased by 2,739 (6.2%), while the percentage of self-identifying Veteran contacts who could be linked to VHA records declined by 3.8%. The 988 rollout was associated with increased VCL contact volume and broad changes in the profile of users. This underscores the importance of crisis services in adapting to dynamic user needs and highlights the potential of national suicide prevention initiatives to reach diverse populations.
