Racial and ethnic differences in hospice use among Medicaid-only and dual-eligible decedents
JAMA Health Forum
Peer-Reviewed PublicationAbout The Study: In this study, in both Medicaid only and dual-eligible populations, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black individuals had the lowest odds of receiving hospice, and Hispanic individuals had the highest odds of a short hospice stay. Knowledge about, access to, and acceptance of hospice may be lacking for these low-income individuals. Further research is needed to understand barriers to and facilitators of hospice use for people with nursing facility stays.
Authors: Julie Robison, Ph.D., of UConn Health, Center on Aging in Farmington, Connecticut, is the corresponding author.

County–level variation in preterm birth rates
JAMA Network Open
Peer-Reviewed PublicationAbout The Study: In this analysis of U.S. county-level preterm and early preterm birth rates, substantial geographic disparities were observed, which were associated with place-based social disadvantage. Stability in aggregated rates of preterm birth at the national level masked increases in nearly 1 in 6 counties between 2007 and 2019.
