Incenter Strategies Releases New Publications on Adolescent Health
The executive directors of the Maternal and Child Health Policy Research Center have created a new affiliate, Incenter Strategies, to focus on adolescent health care. Four new publications are available on racial and ethnic disparities on adolescents and older adolescents, possibilities for restructuring Medicaid to be more responsive to adolescents' unique needs, and making the case for adolescent health care reform. Incenter Strategies will be focusing on building partnerships and promoting interdisciplinary models of health care to improve the accessibility and availability of health care for adolescents.
Collaborative opportunities for addressing pediatric subspecialty access problems and fragmentation between primary and specialty care are identified, including early identification and treatment, communication and shared management support, education, quality improvement, financial incentives, and affiliations and partnerships.
