Health Affairs Scholar Issue 3 Highlights

Throughout the peer review process for our new open access journal,
Health Affairs Scholar: Emerging and Global Health Policy, the team of
academic editors

assesses articles for their importance and timeliness.

From these evaluations, standout pieces are designated as "Editor's
Choice" articles and highlighted on the Health Affairs Scholar website.

Read the Issue

Issue 3 features the first Editor's Choice selection--a paper by
Izabela E. Annis and coauthors examining the socioeconomic
characteristics, health care utilization, and expenses of children in
the United States

across different neighborhood opportunity levels.

Their findings highlight the critical need for improved access to
preventive and primary health care services for children in
low-opportunity neighborhoods, emphasizing the importance of addressing
community-level disparities through public investment.

Also included in this issue:

Lori Uscher-Pines and coauthors delve into the impact of telehealth's
growth on patient access
,
particularly for those with limited English proficiency.

A study by Jun Li, Jinkyung Ha, and Geoffrey Hoffman reveals persistent
racial-ethnic disparities in aging needs and support

despite major health care reforms in the past decade.

Daniel C. Semenza and colleagues find that cumulative exposure to
firearm violence negatively impacts health outcomes
,
emphasizing the need for significant and sustained investment in firearm
violence prevention.

On the health information technology front, Claire McGlave and
colleagues provide a Brief Report on the characteristics of short-term
acute care hospitals that experienced a ransomware attack
.

In a Brief Report, Glenn Melnick and Susan Maerki update the literature
with current data to document the evolving financial status and
challenges for US hospitals, post-COVID
.

With increasing consolidation of hospital care in the United States,
Jeannette Rogowski and coauthors offer a Brief Report analyzing national
patient-level data that show that most very preterm infants were born in
a horizontally integrated multihospital system
.

And in the wake of declining access to abortion services in the United
States, some policy makers are keeping an eye on an innovative
Massachusetts Medicaid program to improve access to long-acting
reversible contraception

in primary care clinics.

Chloe Ciccariello, Viveka R. Prakash-Zawisza, and Lydia E. Pace offer a
Commentary on this program, which aims to "lift all boats" in the area
of reproductive justice.

For all these papers and more, see the full table of contents for Health
Affairs Scholar, Issue 3
