Children without health insurance may have more health problems and less access to care. The gap is especially large for children in immigrant families, those with at least one parent born outside the United States.

What they work on
- Determine whether state-level expansions of health insurance eligibility are associated with changes in children's insurance enrollment and preventive care, using repeated National Survey of Children's Health data.
- Compare uninsurance, preventive care use and health care costs for Connecticut children within (≤12 years) versus outside (>12 years) expanded eligibility, using electronic health records and difference-in-differences analysis.
- Identify individual, interpersonal, community and societal barriers to and facilitators of families' care-seeking through qualitative analysis of public hearing testimony and community key-informant interviews.
More about the research
These children make up over a quarter of the US child population. In 2019, 6% of US children were uninsured, but 28% of immigrant children were. Some states have recently widened who qualifies for public insurance. This raises a practical question: do those expansions actually lead more children to enroll and to get care?
Why it matters
Many children in immigrant families lack health insurance and may go without preventive care. Findings could guide outreach and support that help families enroll in insurance and use the services their children are eligible for. The work also lays groundwork for future multi-state studies of the long-term health and economic effects of expanding eligibility.
