Brief Highlights Findings on the State Children’s Health Insurance Program
What has been learned about expanding children’s health insurance? This brief summarizes findings from research on the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) conducted by the Child Health Insurance Research Initiative from (primarily) 1999 to 2003. The brief and the research upon which it is based were supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and the Health Resources and Services Administration. Topics include what was learned and policy implications. Figures present data on the unmet needs of children and adolescents by special health care needs status at pre-enrollment and follow-up; children’s enrollment in SCHIP at age 24 months; and insurance status of SCHIP enrollees at pre-enrollment and follow-up. Information about SCHIP design and enrollment, definitions, the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, study methodology and sources, and related studies of interest is also provided.
