The newest issue of Health Affairs was released today. To start, read
Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil's preview

highlighting some of the topics and articles. You can also check out our
Table of Contents to
see everything in this edition.

Three articles in the issue are part of our Age-Friendly Health series.
Authors examined trends in family caregivers for adults with dementia
,
staffing models used in caring for frail older adults
,
and direct care worker staffing levels in assisted living facilities
.

Papers also investigated health care spending and value. Leah Rand and
Aaron Kesselheim conducted a systematic literature review of the types
of criticism leveled at the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY)
.
Maximilian Pany and colleagues provided evidence against regulating
provider prices based on market concentration
.

The issue also covers a variety of health equity topics, including the
allocation of COVID-19 relief funding
.

Read these papers and much more in the full September 2021 issue
.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Harold Pollack and coauthors describe an
improved stroke response system
,
implemented in Chicago and several other cities, in which first
responders can transport patients directly to comprehensive stroke
centers.

Jennifer Carroll and coauthors argue that behavioral health crisis
response

should not be established within the purview of the police.
