From Health Affairs
Dear John,
2021 was a year of incredible growth and expansion for Health Affairs.
Our community grew last year, and our publications, events, podcasts,
and briefs have all contributed to a better understanding of the impact
of health policy.
Read the 2021 Impact Report
for highlights of the work we accomplished.
Health-Related Social Needs
In their Datawatch article, Charron Long and coauthors share the results
of a national survey
they conducted from October 2019 to February 2020 about health-related
social needs among older adults enrolled in Humana's Medicare
Advantage plans.
They found that almost one half of Black enrollees reported financial
strain, as compared to thirty percent of White enrollees, and one in
five rural enrollees reported poor quality housing compared to one in
six urban enrollees.
Half of the respondents reported at least one health-related social need
and 33.1 percent of respondents reported financial strain, 18.5 percent
reported food insecurity, and 17.7 percent reported poor housing
quality.
Nearly all health-related social needs were more common among the
youngest participants.
The authors note that the findings have several policy implications,
namely that evidence-based strategies are required to identify and
address the health-related social needs among older adults.
