The 2005 TennCare Disenrollments Increased Rates of Intimate Partner Violence: Insights for the Post-COVID Medicaid Unwinding.
Article in Health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo quantify the impact of 2005 TennCare mandatory disenrollment on intimate partner violence (IPV). STUDY SETTING AND
designUsing 2005 TennCare mandatory disenrollment as a quasi-natural experiment, we classified counties with pre-reform TennCare enrollment rates above the median as high-exposure (treated group) and those below the median as low-exposure (control group). We employed a doubly robust Difference-in-Differences design that compares the high-exposure counties with the low-exposure counties before and after the TennCare disenrollment, adjusting for various county-level characteristics. We performed a dose-response DID model using the pre-reform TennCare enrollment rates as a continuous treatment for robustness checks. DATA SOURCES AND ANALYTIC SAMPLE: We extracted IPV incidents from 2003 to 2008 National Incident-Based Reporting System, supplemented with data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program and Area Health Resource Files. We aggregated IPV incidents by police agency, year, and quarter to create an aggregate-level count of IPV per 10,000 population. The analytic sample consists of 6780 agency-year-quarter observations. PRINCIPAL
findingsOur findings revealed that TennCare disenrollment led to an increase of 4.8 (95% CI: 0.90-8.6) IPV incidents per 10,000 population, approximately a 25.8% (95% CI: 4.9%-46.7%) increase. This impact was more salient among younger adults and women. Importantly, the disenrollment led to a significantly larger increase in drug-related IPV incidents. Our welfare calculation shows that the disenrollment resulted in a total economic burden of approximately $232.34 (95% CI: 43.95-420.94) million, with the government bearing $86.66 (95% CI: 16.39-157) million of this cost.
conclusionsThis study underscores the importance of considering broader social costs associated with abrupt loss of insurance coverage. These findings support the need for Medicaid reforms that incorporate safety measures to prevent unintended social harms and support the well-being of economically vulnerable populations.
