The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Wednesday, September 8, 2021
Dear John,

The September 2021 issue of Health Affairs includes articles exploring how we provide care for elders, how we determine health care prices and value, and a variety of health equity topics. Read it here.

Care for Elders, Prices & More
Health Affairs
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.
