"You've Got a Lot to Prove": A Mixed Methods Analysis of How Older Adults and Their Families Navigate Medicaid Enrollment.
Article in Social policy & administration, 2024. 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
Many older adults will need Medicaid to cover health and long-term care costs, yet the process by which these older adults gain access to Medicaid is poorly understood. In a case study of family caregivers and key program staff at a skilled nursing facility in a large, urban county in North Carolina, I document the experiences of older adults' families applying for Medicaid. Participants report challenges with the application process and their own assets creating barriers to enrollment, while having a health event requiring institutionalised care precipitated access. Given these results, I use data from 11 waves of the Health and Retirement Survey to test these hypothesised factors, demonstrating that prior hospitalisation and having limited assets both accelerate time to Medicaid enrollment. Expanding Medicaid to cover older adults with incomes greater than the federal poverty line and simplifying eligibility requirements and application processes can improve the well-being of older adults and their families.
