Welcome to SHADAC's New Web Site

December 1, 2008. We're excited to announce the launch of our new logo and Web site. We believe the site will be a great resource for health policy researchers, policy makers and analysts and are excited to move forward with a fresh look. Our work helps to bridge the gap between research and policy, and the arches in our new logo represent that endeavor.

The new Web site is a dramatic change for us in terms of a new image and enhanced functionality but our commitment to providing easy access to an array of research and resources related to issues of health insurance coverage, data collection methods, and state health policy remains unchanged.

Because our site is used by a wide variety of audiences, we have made the information accessible and understandable at many levels while maintaining the flexibility to grow as our research continues. To help you navigate the site, we have developed a slideshow presentation to explain the navigation - available under our featured publication section. We hope you will be able to navigate it efficiently and find the information you need, but if you have problems please don't hesitate to contact us.

Another big change for us is our venture into the blog world! We will regularly post news and information here and periodically compile those posts into our newsletter. If you like blogs, please check in with us regularly and subscribe to our RSS feed. If not, you'll catch the compiled news through our e-mail newsletter (please sign up for the newsletter on our home page if you aren't already on our list).

Finally, we are here to help. If you are not able to find the resources and information you need or have any questions about our work please contact us (shadac@umn.edu or 612-624-4802). We will continually enhance this site to provide useful information for our users and your feedback is extremely valuable.
