Capita
- Families Need Genuine Options: This report analyzes surveys of “stay-at-home parents” between 2024-2025. Capita defines “stay-at-home parents” as parents that provide primary care during the business day for at least one child under 12 (regardless of whether they bring in income). Findings include reporting feeling financially strained, stressed, and pessimistic of the future. “Parents want the freedom to work and raise their children in ways that align with their values, rather than being forced into rigid, unsuitable systems that dictate their choices. What parents are asking for should be basic: more time, more options, and the opportunity to make decisions rooted in their values and what is best for their family, rather than out of compulsion or, in some cases, desperation.”
Georgetown Center for Children and Families (CCF)
- What do Results from First State to Impose Medicaid Work Mandate Reveal? – Center For Children and Families: Read key takeaways from Nebraska, the first state to implement the Medicaid work reporting requirements.
Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF)
- Medicaid/CHIP Monthly Enrollment Tracker: This tracker by KFF presents the most recent data on monthly Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) enrollment reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the Performance Indicator Project. States and advocates can use this tracker to understand the impact of changing Medicaid policies on the number of children and adults enrolled in Medicaid.
Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health
- Unmet Need for Medical Equipment and Devices: This is the second data brief from Lucile Packard in a series about the health care experiences of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). The data reveals that nearly half (48%) of those who needed medical equipment or devices experienced at least one barrier to obtaining them. The brief, Unmet Need for Medical Equipment and Devices, shares that the most common barrier was the inability to obtain a referral.
- Managing Vulnerability: Cross-Sector Reflections on the Ethics and Equity Implications of AI Use Among Young Adults with Chronic Conditions: Read findings from a roundtable of youth/young adults with chronic conditions, hosted by Generation Patient, on AI use in health care. “The proceedings note that while the use of AI tools may help ease administrative and emotional burden for young adults with chronic conditions transitioning into adult care, roundtable participants raised concerns about data protection, equity, and accuracy of AI-generated information. Participants also drew attention to generative AI’s tendency to be agreeable to its users’ inputs, which can impact mental health both positively and negatively.”
