项目摘要
The Role of Comprehensive Adult Medicaid Dental Benefit in Improving Oral Health and Reducing
Disparities among Adults and Children
Project Summary
Even though it is well established that oral health is integral to overall health, economic productivity, and well-
being, it remains the most common unmet health need in the US. Low-income and minority groups carry a
significantly high burden of dental disease, highlighting socioeconomic disparities and lack of access to oral
health care. A large proportion of these groups rely on Medicaid, but unlike children, federal law does not
mandate dental coverage for adults, and coverage varies by state leaving many uninsured or underinsured.
Starting July 2021, Virginia expanded dental coverage for all Medicaid-enrolled adults (up to 138% of FPL),
providing access to comprehensive dental care to thousands of adults for the first time. This dental policy
change provides a unique opportunity, a 'natural experiment,' to gain a deeper and clear understanding of the
effect of implementing a comprehensive dental benefit on the oral health of Medicaid enrollees and fill a critical
gap in oral health services research. The purpose of the proposed K08 research project is to evaluate the role
of Virginia's comprehensive adult Medicaid dental policy on dental care utilization and reducing oral health
disparities among the Medicaid population. The project will: 1) examine the demand for dental services among
Medicaid-enrolled adults following the implementation of the dental benefit, 2) evaluate the impact of dental
benefit on the use of the emergency department (ED) for dental visits by comparing adults enrolled in Medicaid
with those having private insurance, and 3) assess the effect of the Medicaid adult dental benefit on children's
dental care use. Data sources will include multi-year claims data from the Virginia Medicaid program and
Virginia All Payers Claims Data that will be linked with the county-level workforce and community data on
social factors from multiple sources. Causal inference methods and advanced econometric and data science
approaches such as difference-in-difference and interrupted time series will be used to isolate the policy's
effect on measured oral health outcomes. The primary goal of this K08 application is to advance the
candidate's (Dr. Naavaal) research career by protecting her time to acquire training in health policy,
econometrics, and data science and gain research experience in applying these methods to conduct rigorous
oral health services and health policy research. This goal will be accomplished through executing proposed
research supported by carefully planned training objectives and intensive career development activities. The
proposed research outcomes will generate the evidence needed to inform strategies to strengthen existing and
new policies, including systems-level changes needed to minimize disparities and maximize oral health gains.
The expertise and guidance of the multi-disciplinary mentoring and advisory teams, in addition to the wealth of
resources and commitment to training provided through the institutional environment, will ensure the success
of the candidate's research project and enable her to establish a robust research program as an independent
research investigator.
综合成人医疗补助牙科福利在改善口腔健康和减少
成人和儿童之间的差异
项目摘要
尽管口腔健康是整体健康、经济生产力和良好生活不可或缺的一部分,
它仍然是美国最常见的未满足的健康需求。低收入和少数群体
牙科疾病负担显著偏高,突出了社会经济差距和缺乏获得口腔保健的机会。
保健这些群体中有很大一部分依赖医疗补助,但与儿童不同的是,联邦法律不
强制规定成年人的牙科保险,保险范围因州而异,许多人没有保险或保险不足。
从2021年7月开始,弗吉尼亚州扩大了所有参加医疗补助的成年人的牙科保险(高达FPL的138%),
首次为成千上万的成年人提供全面的牙科护理。这个牙科政策
变化提供了一个独特的机会,一个“自然实验”,以获得更深刻和清晰的理解,
实施全面的牙科福利对医疗补助注册者口腔健康的影响,并填补了一个关键的
口腔健康服务研究的差距。拟议的K08研究项目的目的是评估
弗吉尼亚州关于牙科保健利用和减少口腔健康的全面成人医疗补助牙科政策
医疗补助人群之间的差异。该项目将:1)研究以下人群对牙科服务的需求
医疗补助登记的成年人在实施牙科福利后,2)评估牙科福利的影响,
通过比较参加医疗补助计划的成年人使用急诊科(艾德)进行牙科就诊的益处
与那些有私人保险,和3)评估医疗补助成人牙科福利对儿童的影响,
牙科护理用途。数据来源将包括弗吉尼亚州医疗补助计划的多年索赔数据,
弗吉尼亚州所有付款人索赔数据将与县级劳动力和社区数据相关联,
社会因素来自多个方面。因果推理方法和先进的计量经济学和数据科学
将使用差异中差异和中断时间序列等方法来隔离政策的
对口腔健康结果的影响。此K08应用程序的主要目标是推进
候选人(Naavaal博士)的研究生涯,保护她获得卫生政策培训的时间,
计量经济学和数据科学,并获得应用这些方法进行严格的研究经验,
口腔健康服务及健康政策研究。这一目标将通过执行拟议的
在精心规划的培训目标和密集的职业发展活动的支持下进行研究。的
拟议的研究成果将产生所需的证据,为加强现有和
新的政策,包括系统层面的变革,需要最大限度地减少差距和最大限度地提高口腔健康收益。
多学科指导和咨询团队的专业知识和指导,以及丰富的
通过体制环境提供的资源和对培训的承诺将确保成功
候选人的研究项目,使她能够建立一个强大的研究计划,作为一个独立的
研究调查员
