Journal Article
Existing literature indicates that multimorbidity, mental health (MH) conditions, substance use disorders (SUDs), and social determinants of health are hallmarks of high-need, high-cost patients. Health Resources and Services Administration–funded health centers (HCs) provide care to nearly 30 million patients, but data on their patients’ complexity and utilization patterns are limited. Authors identified subgroups of HC patients based on latent concepts of complexity and utilization.

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
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).

Research Report
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) implemented the Medi-Cal Health Homes Program (HHP) to serve eligible Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan (MCP) beneficiaries with complex needs, including individuals with chronic conditions and high levels of service utilization. HHP was authorized under California Assembly Bill 361 and approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under Section 2703 of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Journal Article
Authors examined differences in rates of unmet need between low-income uninsured and Medicaid patients of Health Resources and Services Administration–funded health centers (HRSA HCs) and safety-net clinics in general or private physicians. Logistic regression models were used to compare the predicted probabilities of unmet need for uninsured and Medicaid individuals whose usual source of care is HRSA HCs versus clinics in general or private physicians.
