Funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) with co-funding from the David and Lucile Packard
Foundation, and the Health Resources and Services Administration
(AHRQ No. HS10463)
Background

Adolescents at risk for morbidity and mortality
– risky behaviors





Preventive care visits
Privacy
Counseling
SCHIP contract with managed care
organizations (MCOs) to form provider
network and deliver services
Does SCHIP and the MCOs’ organizational
characteristics influence preventive care,
privacy, and counseling?
Study Design


Longitudinal follow-up of 11.5 to 17 year olds
newly enrolled in SCHIP and one year postenrollment
Adolescent interviews




Demographic characteristics
Risky behaviors – drinking, sexual activity,
depression, seat belt use
Preventive care visits
Counseling during visits

MCO Characteristics


For profit, not-for-profit
Percentage of providers reimbursed fee-for-service
(FFS)
Adolescents with special health care needs
(ASHCN) exempt from prior authorizations
Provider profiling for quality standards
Prior authorization required for referrals
Allows specialists to function as primary care
providers (PCPs)

SCHIP ENROLLMENT
SCHIP Enrollment Influences:

Usual Source of Care


Private Visit


66% greater odds of a usual source of care
1.9 times more likely to have a private visit
Counseling

SCHIP directly reduces the likelihood of counseling
BUT increases the likelihood of privacy, which
increases the likelihood of counseling. The effects
seem to offset each other.

Other Influences:

Preventive Care Visits



Depression – 2 times more likely to have a visit
If ASHCN – 2 times more likely to have visit
Counseling



If the visit is private – 3 times more likely to get
counseling
If ASHCN – 2.5 times more likely to get counseling
One reported risk behaviors 1.7 times more likely
to get counseling than those with none. See
increasing odds with increasing numbers of risk
behaviors
Summary



SCHIP improves access to usual source of
care and private visits
Limited number of MCO characteristics
important for usual source of care and
counseling
Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic children
remain at risk after enrollment for not having
a usual source of care or receiving a
preventive care visit
Summary




Health status – presence of special needs,
reporting feelings of depression important for
visits
Physicians targeting counseling towards those
with risky behaviors and not all adolescents
Ensuring privacy during visits very important

and counseling related to individual
