How Did We Measure These Effects?
Household survey conducted in 2003-2004– Demographics of HK children and their families– Children’s health and health care outcomes
Interviewed parents of two groups of children:– 625 “established enrollees”: on HK for about 1 yr– 609 “new enrollees”: new to/waiting to join HK
Measured Healthy Kids’ effects by comparing outcomes (access, etc) for these two groups

How Did We Measure These Longer-Term Outcomes?
Followup survey conducted in 2006-2007 – Approximately three years after initial survey
Focused on 405 “established enrollees” who remained covered by Healthy Kids– Completed interviews with 372 (92%) of them
Compared outcomes of these children between the two surveys

How Were Outcomes Beyond Santa Clara Studied?
Healthy Kids expanded rapidly from Santa Clara to counties throughout California– 2005 (9 programs); 2007 (25); 2008 (30)
Two studies examined additional Healthy Kids programs: Los Angeles and San Mateo– Led by The Urban Institute
Similar approach to Santa Clara study– LA survey (2005); San Mateo survey (2006-07)– Compared outcomes of established and new enrollees

Healthy Kids: Takeaways
Overwhelming evidence that Healthy Kids has improved the well-being of children and families in Santa Clara County and throughout the state
Health reform will not address the lack of other coverage options for the vast majority of children covered by Healthy Kids
