Current Projects - (2)

• Oral Healthcare Utilization and Outcomes of Rural and Urban Medicaid-Insured Children in the United States
  Using nationally representative Medicaid claims data, this project will determine rural-urban differences in the prevalence of early childhood caries, preventative dental visits, and restorative dental visits.
  Research center: University of South Carolina Rural Health Research Center
  Topics: Children and adolescents, Medicaid and CHIP, Oral health, Rural statistics and demographics
  
• Spatial Distribution of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Need and Care
  The incidence of HIV is disproportionately high in rural areas, but these communities often lack access to evidence-based interventions to prevent new HIV diagnoses such as PrEP. Using Medicaid claims data and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Provider file, this study will determine geographic disparities (by rurality and region) in the need for PrEP and PrEP availability and identify whether PrEP availability meets the needs across geography.
  Research center: University of South Carolina Rural Health Research Center
  Topic: Pharmacy and prescription drugs
