Coverage of our peer-reviewed research and news reporting in the health care and mainstream press.

An editorial by Richmond Times-Dispatch cited an article published on AJMC.com, the website of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®). The article, “Mental Health Issues On the Rise Among Adolescents, Young Adults,” indicated that rates of mood disorders and suicide-related outcomes have increased significantly among adolescents and young adults.

A piece by BenefitsPRO referenced a study published in the May 2022 issue of AJMC®. The study, “Disparities in Health Care Use Among Low-Salary and High-Salary Employees,” showed that lower-salary employees in high-deductible health plans underutilize outpatient care and overutilize emergency departments.
