Policy Brief
The Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot program implemented under California’s Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver, “Medi-Cal 2020,” coordinates medical, behavioral, and social services to improve the health and well-being of Medi-Cal beneficiaries with complex needs. In this policy brief, authors analyze data from the interim statewide evaluation of WPC to present a snapshot of the 25 participating pilots, based on key implementation strategies and enrollee characteristics.

Journal Article
This paper examines the association of multimorbidity, mental health (MH) conditions, and obesity severity among health center (HC) patients in the United States. Authors used cross-sectional data from the 2014 Health Center Patient Survey. They examined the independent association of multimorbidity and MH conditions with obesity severity using a multinomial logistic regression model, controlling for potential confounders.

Journal Article
Improving oral health of low-income and uninsured young children remains challenging due to reluctance of general dentists to care for very young children or participate in Medicaid, limited involvement of primary care providers in children’s oral health, and lack of parental awareness of the importance of early oral health care.

Policy Brief
Social determinants of health are increasingly acknowledged as barriers to improving population health, particularly among people who experience multiple disadvantages, such as low income and poor health. Evidence indicates that socioeconomic and environmental factors play a similar role in oral health status. Using data from the 2017 and 2018 California Health Interview Surveys (CHIS), authors explored the association of these factors with poor oral health among California adults.

Journal Article
The opioid epidemic and subsequent mortality is a national concern in the U.S. The burden of this problem is disproportionately high among low-income and uninsured populations who are more likely to experience unmet need for substance use services. Authors assessed the impact of two Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) substance use disorder (SUD) service capacity grants on SUD staffing and service use in HRSA -funded health centers (HCs).

Journal Article
The California Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP) provided incentive payments to Designated Public Hospitals (DPHs) to improve quality of care. Authors assessed the program's impact on reductions in sepsis mortality, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), venous thromboembolisms (VTEs), and hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs).
