Health Insurance Coverage Predicts Health Care Use among Latine Immigrants in Two Policy Contexts.

This study analyzed electronic health record (EHR) data from 2016 through 2019 from a federally qualified health center (FQHC) serving predominantly low-income Latine immigrants in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to examine how changes in health insurance coverage relate to changes in health care use.

The Impacts of New York State's Paid Family Leave Policy on Parents' Sleep and Exercise.

Objectives: To assess changes in young parents' health behaviors following implementation of New York State's Paid Family Leave Program (NYSPFL).

Methods: We used synthetic control (N = 117,552) and difference-in-differences (N = 18,973) models with data from the nationally representative Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) from 2011 to 2019 to provide individual-level estimates of the effects of NYSPFL on self-reported exercise in the past month and average daily sleep of adults aged 21-30 years living with one or more children under 18 years of age in New York and comparison states.

Results: Synthetic control model results indicate that the NYSPFL increased the likelihood of exercise in the past month among mothers, single parents, and low-income parents by 6.
