Most viewed in the last 7 days from @JAMAHealthForum: To what extent do caregivers with Medicaid coverage whose children were referred to child protective services as at risk of maltreatment receive mental health or substance use disorder treatment? ja.ma/3UjbCiD

That first one should say Tami *Mark*

40 percent of those who had substance use disorders had received counseling; about 67 percent of people with mental health disorders and 38 percent of those with substance use disorders had received medication.

Tami is quoted in the NY Times in an article we published together about parental substance use disorder using the Child and Caregiver Outcomes Using Linked Data (CCOULD) dataset we partnered with ASPE, Kentucky, and Florida to create. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/hea…

This month we published a study in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention abt this topic. We find that patient-reported measures of mental health for those with cancer improved more b/t 2008 and 2019 than a matched noncancer comp. Physical health scores remained stable.

We are working with the good folks at the @theNCI to investigate at trends in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between cancer and noncancer Medicare beneficiaries over 65 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS).

This won't get as much attention as it should because it's not as "newsy" as other stories, but chronic illness is a major public health issue and one we in this country don't pay nearly enough attention to. washingtonpost.com/health/interac…

@EmilyLTucker you're too young to say "Back in the day"
