The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Tuesday, August 17, 2021
Dear John,
An August article in Health Affairs examines opioid use disorder
treatment in correctional facilities in Rhode Island and related
Medicaid costs.
Medicaid Costs For OUD Treatment
****Benjamin Howell and coauthors studied the implementation of Rhode
Island's first-in-the-nation statewide prison and jail opioid use
disorder (OUD) treatment program
,
which began in 2016.
States have identified correctional facilities as key intervention
points to limiting overdose. At the same time, the cost of state health
spending related to treatment programs after release from correctional
systems is not well understood.
Using Rhode Island as a case study, the authors observed no
statistically significant difference when comparing per person, per year
Medicaid costs for people before they participated in the program to
such costs after they were released from prison or jail.
For more articles on opioid use disorder, visit our website
.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Inam Sakinah writes that physicians have a
largely untapped capacity to serve as effective political advocates for
policies
that put medical and public health science first.
Katie Keith summarizes recent developments on Section 1332 waivers
,
including federal approval to extend Colorado's waiver and pending
waiver-related requests in other states;Â a new data brief on
state-based reinsurance programs; and 2020 user-fee data.

**The Health Equity Fellowship for Trainees** is part of Health
Affairs' national initiative to advance racial equity in health policy
and health services scholarly publishing. Its objective is to
**value** and
**increase the quality**and
**quantity** of equity-related research published in Health Affairs that
is authored by members of racial and ethnic groups that have
historically been underrepresented in scholarly publishing.
In the program, fellows will receive multilayered mentorship from
experienced
**Health Affairs** authors and editorial staff for one year (from
January 2022 to December 2022). Mentors will work with fellows to make
fellows' manuscript submissions more likely to be accepted by the
journal or another journal within the fellowship year. Manuscript
submissions must be related to racial equity.
The application period closes on September 13, 2021.
