Regina S. Baker, Assistant Professor of Sociology, is collaborating with J. Tom Mueller (PI) and Matthew Brooks on a newly funded National Institute of Health NIMHD grant project titled, "The Effect of Medicaid Expansion on Mortality Disparities and Poverty." They will use restricted data to examine the impact of Medicaid expansion on rural-urban ethnoracial mortality disparities. They will also examine the role of poverty reduction in this relationship via new estimates of the supplemental poverty measure.
