A 2024 awarded grant under the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Health Data for Action program, managed by AcademyHealth.
This project is funded under the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s research program, “Health Data for Action (HD4A),” which makes valuable data from unique data owners available to researchers to answer important research questions. The goal of the study is to assess the Public Health Emergency changes in the Medicaid and private payer context. Using Colorado All-Payer Claims data, the study seeks to determine 1) the immediate impact of the policy on ADHD medication and related healthcare access in youth, 2) the effect on quality, and 3) compare healthcare spending after the public health and telehealth modalities expansion policy was enacted, in a quasi-experimental design. The applicant will use interrupted time series regression analysis to evaluate the policy impact on ADHD access, quality, and spending measures. Deliverables will include a project work plan, final narrative report, and financial report. The researchers will also produce paper(s) suitable for publication and present findings at national research meetings and to other stakeholder audiences as appropriate, including policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels and other key stakeholders, as part of the deliverables for this grant.
