Health Affairs Scholar debuted its inaugural issue in June 2023, and over the past six months, the impact created by its authors has been truly noteworthy.
Editor-in-Chief Kathryn Phillips casts a spotlight on several standout studies that left a significant mark in 2023 in an “Overview: From the Editor ([link removed] ) ” published in the January issue.
Health Affairs Scholar Volume 2, Issue 1 Highlights
The January issue of Health Affairs Scholar kicks off the new year with three editors’ choice papers.
Janette S Dill and Bianca K Frogner explore how gender inequity within the health care sector harms women’s compensation and career advancement across educational and occupational groups ([link removed] ) .
The authors' findings underscore the confluence of factors that contribute to the gender wage gap, emphasizing the need for health care organizations to be diligent in their evaluation of equity-based pay structures.
John (Xuefeng) Jiang and colleagues outline key challenges of the current health reporting ecosystem ([link removed] ) using data from the 2020 and 2022 American Hospital Association information technology supplement surveys.
The authors emphasize the importance of establishing standardized reporting protocols, explicit directives, and automated processes to enhance preparedness for future health emergencies.
A study by Samantha J Harris and coauthors recounts the passage and intended impact of the New Mexico “No Behavioral Health Cost-Sharing” law ([link removed] ) .
New Mexico is the first state to completely eliminate cost-sharing for mental health and substance use disorder treatment in an attempt to increase access to and use of these services.
The authors conclude that future trends and analysis of the benefits and limitations of the law will determine its long-term viability as a policy solution in New Mexico and elsewhere.

Also included in this issue:
Two studies comment on 340B contract pharmacy growth.
Claire McGlave and coauthors discuss the participation of major pharmacy chains in the 340B program ([link removed] ) , raising concerns about the viability of independent pharmacies' continued participation.
In an accompanying commentary, Joseph Mattingly offers a counterpoint to the issues ([link removed] ) raised by McGlave et al. noting “these findings can be viewed differently based on one’s interpretive filter reflecting either a positive or negative outcome when the truth may be more nuanced.”

Health Affairs' Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil interviews Ashley M. Fox of the University at Albany, SUNY, on her recent paper exploring substantial disparities in COVID-19 vaccine uptake and identifying unmet immunization demand in low- and middle-income countries.
