Title: Pediatric Health Care Utilization and Child Health among Medicaid Beneficiaries Fellow
Fellowship ID#: T-2012-CHS-01
Available Positions: 1 position
Location: Hyattsville, MD
Stipend (annual): $51,233
Allowance: $4,000
Travel: $1,000
Fellowship Assignment Description:
In collaboration with senior researchers, the Fellow will initiate projects using the newly created NCHS survey/Medicaid administrative data linked files. These data files contain individual-level Medicaid eligibility and utilization information linked to
the detailed health and demographic data collected from the NCHS national surveys. We anticipate all projects will evaluate aspects of health care utilization or expenditures (from the Medicaid files) in relation to data from national health surveys. Specific
topics of research (child health conditions, disparities, statistical methodology, etc.) can be determined by the interest and background of the Fellow. The survey data most likely to be used during this Fellowship will be those from the National Health Interview
Survey, which contains detail sociodemographic information as well as information on health status. Also, potentially possible are projects using the Medicaid files linked to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (containing interview,
exam, and lab data). One example of a potential project would be assessing utilization of preventive asthma medications among asthmatics in the Medicaid population, with particular emphasis on compliance with these medications.
The fellowship location is the Hyattsville, Maryland office of NCHS. Hyattsville is a suburb of Washington D.C., about 1 mile from the University of Maryland College Park campus and 10 miles from National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. This allows easy interchange between the numerous public health researchers working at the various agencies and institutions located in the national capital area. It is easily accessible from downtown Washington by Metrorail.
It is anticipated that these research activities will result in one or more published reports or journal articles. Ample support in epidemiology, medicine, statistics, and economics, as well as IT assistance, is available within the Office.
