Presentation by Lindsey Leininger (Chapin Hall, University of Chicago) at the 2011 AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting.  Dr. Leininger provides an overview of the ACCESS portal and looks at whether ACCESS is more or less likely than other application methods to attract applicants who are ultimately determined to be eligible for public insurance.  She also explores whether the use of ACCESS is associated with a greater likelihood of applying for other social programs (a phenomenon known as "spillover"), looking at both the rate of spillover itself and the rate of program eligibility among spillover applicants.
