The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in October is
"Personal Care Aides: Assessing Self Care Needs and Worker Shortages
in Rural Areas." Using 2013-17 data from the American Community
Survey and the Office of Management and Budget, the authors analyzed the
need for personal care aide (PCA) services among adults and the supply
across the US, and found the gap to be largest in the southern United
States.

On October 20, please join coauthor Susan A. Chapman of the University
of California San Francisco for a detailed discussion of the paper's
data, methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Editor
Ellen Bayer will host.
