 The
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Changes in Health Care Financing
and Organization (HCFO) hosted a Web and audio-based conference
on December 9, 2003 to share research results of two projects that
examined how Medicaid and welfare policy changes affected patients’
insurance status, access to, and utilization of prenatal care, as
well as birth outcomes. Following presentations by Kathleen Adams
(Emory University) and Genevieve Kenney (The Urban Institute), Debbie
Chang (National Academy for State Health Policy) and Rachel Benson
Gold (The Alan Guttmacher Institute) participated in a moderated
discussion placing the research findings in a policy context. This
Cyber Seminar began with the research results, moved to the policy
implications, and then the lines were opened for questions and comments.
With our new Cyber Seminar format, we hope to provide state policymakers
and policy analysts with the opportunity to discuss these exciting
findings first-hand without traveling.
Support
for the research projects and conference development was provided
by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation under its HCFO
program.
