Highlights from SHADAC's October 1, 2003, conference call discussing the health insurance coverage estimates from the 2002 Current Population Survey data release. October 2003.

This SHADAC student paper seeks to identify how health insurance coverage trends (public, private and uninsured) changed for Hispanic/Latino children from 1996 to 2005. It finds that Hispanic/Latino children saw significant reductions in the percent of uninsured children from 28.2 percent to 22.0 percent and significant increases in public health insurance from 30.3 percent to 39.6. May 2007.

In late September 2001, the Census Bureau released the 2001 March Demographic Supplement of Current Population Survey (CPS) data to the public. The September 2001 CPS estimates included an error that affected the total number of children within each state. SHADAC has calculated the percent change between the 2000 estimates and the 1997-1999 three-year averages for the total number of children living within a state, the total number of children living below 200% of poverty living within a state, and the total number of children living below 200% of poverty who do not have health insurance. The percent change estimates are in the table in this document. December 2001.

This report was released for the 2006 Covering Kids & Families Back-to-School Campaign, a national effort to enroll eligible children in public coverage programs during the back-to-school season.  This initiative is sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.  The research in this report presents the the number of uninsured children, publicly insured children and privately insured children in the U.S. and by state in 2003-2004, using data from the CPS, compared to the same information for 1997-1998. This comparison documents coverage patterns before and after the implementation of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).  August 2006.
