New Findings on Affordable Care Act Described by Investigators at University of Kentucky (The Affordable Care Act and Changes in Insurance Coverage and Source of Health Care among High-risk Rural, Substance-using, Female Offenders Transitioning ...)

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- New research on Affordable Care Act is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Lexington, Kentucky, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "This study examines health care coverage and health care among rural, drug-involved female offenders under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) compared with preACA and whether being insured is associated with having a usual source of care. This study involved random selection, screening, and face-to-face interviews with drugusing women in three rural Appalachian jails."

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Kentucky, "Analyses focused on participants who had completed a three-month follow-up interview after release from jail (N = 371). Analyses indicated that women released after ACA implementation were more likely than those released pre-implementation to be insured. A multivariate logistic regression model showed that being insured was significantly related to having a usual health care source during community re-entry."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Results demonstrate the benefits of the ACA, signaling important implications for public health in rural communities and the criminal justice system, including targeting underserved groups during incarceration and providing information about and resources for health care enrollment."

For more information on this research see: The Affordable Care Act and Changes in Insurance Coverage and Source of Health Care among High-risk Rural, Substance-using, Female Offenders Transitioning to the Community.
