Article Synopsis
- Asthma shows significant differences in prevalence and characteristics among various ancestral groups, yet the reasons for these disparities are not well understood.
- The Consortium on Asthma among African-ancestry Populations in the Americas (CAAPA) is analyzing genetic information from individuals of African ancestry to identify specific genes related to asthma.
- In their findings, they discovered 389 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with key networks linked to immune response and wound healing, revealing three main areas of dysregulation important for understanding asthma within these populations.
Background: West Virginia entered an institution for mental disease Section 1115 waiver with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2018, which allowed Medicaid to cover methadone at West Virginia's nine opioid treatment programs (OTPs) for the first time.
Methods: We conducted time trend and geospatial analyses of Medicaid enrollees between 2016 and 2019 to examine medications for opioid use disorder utilization patterns following Medicaid coverage of methadone, focusing on distance to an OTP as a predictor of initiating methadone and conditional on receiving any, longer treatment duration.
Results: Following Medicaid coverage of methadone in 2018, patients receiving methadone comprised 9.
We described Medicaid-insured women by receipt of perinatal opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment; and trends and disparities in treatment. Using 2007 to 2012 Medicaid Analytic eXtract data from 45 states and D.C.

Methods: We used 2007-2012 Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia to examine 6,823,471 deliveries for women 18 to 44 years old. Logistic regressions modeled the association between (1) OUD status and receipt of perinatal and emergency care, and (2) receipt of perinatal and emergency care and race/ethnicity, conditional on OUD diagnosis and controlling for patient and county characteristics.
