This knowledge
path about child and adolescent health
insurance and access to care has been compiled
by the Maternal
and Child Health Library at
Georgetown University. It offers a selection
of current, high-quality resources that
analyze data, describe effective programs,
and report on policy
and research aimed at advancing health coverage
and improving health care access for children and
adolescents. Emphasis is placed on Medicaid
and the
Children's
Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Separate
sections present resources for professionals
(health professionals, program administrators,
policymakers, and researchers) and
for families.
A special topics section presents resources
that address health reform, outreach and enrollment,
and school-based and school-linked
care. This knowledge path will be updated
periodically.
