Tuesday, January 24, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs
Dear John,
In case you missed it, we released a Call for Submissions
<[link removed]>
for a new Forefront series, "Provider Prices in the Commercial Sector.
<[link removed]>"
Social Determinants
Two articles featured in the January 2023 issue highlight different
aspects of the social determinants of health.
Deepak Palakshappa and coauthors evaluate the relationship between food
insecurity and family health care expenditures
<[link removed]>
in a nationally representative cohort of US families, and find that food
insecurity in 2016 was associated with greater total family health care
expenditures the following year.
Akansha Batra and colleagues examine the effects of the expanded Child
Tax Credit (CTC) on mental health
<[link removed]>
and related outcomes among low-income adults with children.
Congress temporarily expanded the CTC during the COVID-19 pandemic,
including widening eligibility criteria and increasing the amount
provided for mostly middle-income parents from $2,000 per child to up to
$3,600 per child during July-December 2021.
Batra and colleagues determine, "the expanded CTC was associated with
reduced anxiety symptoms among low-income adults with children, as well
as greater mental health benefits among Black and Hispanic people than
among White people."

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Forefront, Michael Forrest Behne and coauthors argue that while
carceral health is vital to public health, we lack basic data about
health care being provided to the incarcerated population
<[link removed]>.
Charles Sanky and Estefania Chavez discuss how naming national
emergencies accomplishes three distinct goals
<[link removed]>:
* allocating emergency funding to support an influx of much-needed
health care space, systems, supplies, and staff;Â
* incentivizing innovation due to more regulatory flexibility;Â
* and supporting coordination and alignment of the health care sector
and public health agencies for data transparency and public attention.
