- Raymond Perry
- Robert E. Morris
Cited in Scopus: 76Addressing the health status and needs of incarcerated youth represents an issue at the nexus of juvenile justice reform and health care reform. Incarcerated youth face disproportionately higher morbidity and higher mortality compared to the general adolescent population. Dental health, reproductive health, and mental health needs are particularly high, likely as a result of lower access to care, engagement in high-risk behaviors, and underlying health disparities. Violence exposure and injury also contribute to the health disparities seen in this population. - Developmental Disability and Children with Special Health Care Needs

Cited in Scopus: 0The articles in this special Academic Pediatrics' supplement present a thoughtful analysis of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) contribution to the advancement of child health policy in the United States. CHIP has played a significant role in reducing the proportion of uninsured children in the United States, not only through the coverage subsidies it provides to millions of children, but also because of the heightened policy focus it has brought to the question of how to structure insurance for children and make coverage accessible. - Commentary
The Children's Health Insurance Program Strengthens Children's Health Care
Academic PediatricsVol. 15Issue 3SupplementS11–S12Published in issue: May, 2015- James M. Perrin
- Robert Hall
Cited in Scopus: 1The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) has provided substantial coverage for critical groups of children and youth since its inception in the 1990s. Meant to cover children in households with incomes greater than financial eligibility for Medicaid but unable to obtain health insurance through a parent's workplace, CHIP has played a major role in achieving the lowest rate of uninsurance among America's children ever.1 With current funding through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (and due to expire in September 2015), CHIP also serves, along with Medicaid's Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment program, as health insurance tailored specifically to the needs of children. - Commentary

Cited in Scopus: 0Did you ever read the story of Goldilocks to your children? In one version of this story, Goldilocks is a tired, hungry, and lost little girl who encounters a house owned by 3 bears. She finds 3 bowls of porridge and judges whether each is too hot, too cold, or just right. She then finds 3 chairs, and determines whether each is too big, too small, or just right. Finally she is tired and finds 3 beds, and she assesses whether each bed is too hard, too soft, or just right. After she eats the porridge, sits in the chair, and lies on the bed that are all “just right,” she falls asleep. - Commentary

Cited in Scopus: 8The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) reauthorized CHIP through federal fiscal year 2019 and, together with provisions in the Affordable Care Act, federal funding for the program was extended through federal fiscal year 2015. Congressional action is required or federal funding for the program will end in September 2015. This supplement to Academic Pediatrics is intended to inform discussions about CHIP's future. Most of the new research presented comes from a large evaluation of CHIP mandated by Congress in the CHIPRA. - In Brief

Academic PediatricsVol. 15Issue 2p128–133Published online: January 20, 2015- Yasaman Fatemi
- Robert M. Jacobson
Cited in Scopus: 10We foresee an increasing role for the stepped wedge cluster randomized trial design in child health services research. Although a recent systematic review only identified 25 such studies,1 those studies offer themselves as compelling examples to consider. As we will demonstrate, the stepped wedge cluster randomized trial is particularly apt as a research design for health services research. Furthermore, the stepped wedge cluster randomized trial is particularly attractive for health services research concerning children and adolescents because its design addresses problems that complicate child health services research and differentiate those efforts from adult health services research. - Emergency Department

Concept and Measurement of Pediatric Value
Academic PediatricsVol. 14Issue 5SupplementS33–S38Published in issue: September, 2014- Christopher B. Forrest
- Jeffrey H. Silber
Cited in Scopus: 14In the new health care marketplace, families will be making important decisions concerning choice of health plan, health provider, and even accountable care organizations. Ideally, they would make these decisions using information on health care value, which comprises the relationships between patient/family-centered outcomes (the outputs of health care services) and costs of providing care to achieve these outcomes. Providing information on pediatric value will require new investments in data collection systems that include outcomes that matter to children and families and costs measured at the level of the child. - Article

Cited in Scopus: 17Health care reform has increased demand for pediatric health care quality evaluations, particularly those that assess the impact of care on patient and population health outcomes. Many of today's most common childhood conditions are characterized by symptoms, behaviors, and functional limitations that are best assessed as patient reported outcomes (PROs). Although they remain greatly underutilized, PROs have the potential to improve pediatric health care quality assessment at the point of care and through system-level performance evaluations. - Overview

Cited in Scopus: 4The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) of 2009 provides an opportunity to consider and enhance the measurement of children's health care quality as a means to improve child health.1 The legislation required the identification of an initial child core set of measures for voluntary use by Medicaid/Child Health Insurance (CHIP) programs. The initial child core set was published in 2009, and after its most current update in 2014, the list now includes 23 pediatric measures. - Research Methods: Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire

Cited in Scopus: 12The original mission of Boston City Hospital, established in 1864, now Boston Medical Center (BMC), was to provide medical care to all regardless of race, ethnicity, or ability to pay. Nationally, health insurance for children has increased, although disparities by race and income remain.1 However, despite the largest expansion of health insurance in the nation, covering 97% of Massachusetts children and biomedical treatment advances, the low-income and minority children seen at BMC continue to suffer disproportionally from low birth weight, asthma, learning disabilities, and most health problems compared to their nonpoor peers. - Issues in Mental Health
