From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Are you enjoying our newsletters? Let us know how we can improve by
taking this brief survey
.
New And Ahead-Of-Print:
Perinatal Health And Disability
A new ahead-of-print article
published this week sheds light on perinatal health risks and outcomes
among US women with self-reported disability.
Analysis of survey data by Willi Horner-Johnson and coauthors shows that
pregnant women with self-reported disabilities are slower to begin
prenatal care, more likely to have a preterm birth, and more likely to
have a low birthweight baby than pregnant women who do not report having
a disability.
The authors also find that using self-reported disability status reveals
a higher rate of disability among pregnant women than rates found using
diagnosis codes.
For more on the topic of disability and health, the entire October 2022
issue of Health Affairs will be devoted to examining the relationship
between disability and health. Ahead of the issue's release, sign up
for upcoming events
highlighting research and themes from the issue.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
This week in Health Affairs Forefront, authors cover topics including
mass shootings and policies to mitigate their harm and integrated
Medicare and Medicaid appeals.
Heather Harris argues that, to minimize the harm caused by mass
shootings, there is an ongoing need for rigorous data collection
and evaluation of implemented policies. Relatedly, we recently published
a policy brief on the population health impacts of mass shootings
in the US.
Beth Shyken-Rothbart and Derek Ayeh write that Medicare's appeals
system can be a significant barrier to accessing care. The authors argue
that that appeals processes must be improved in order to realize
Medicare and Medicaid integration
.
This article is part of the Forefront series
, produced with the support
of Arnold Ventur
e
s
,
on Medicare and Medicaid Integration.
Recently, Health Affairs Director of Health Equity Vabren Watts and
Director of Digital Strategy Patti Sweet joined the Medical Library
of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center to discuss communication strategies around health equity
in a digital world.
