I examined the impact of state expansions in eligibility for Medicaid family planning services on the utilization of Papanicolaou (Pap) tests, clinical breast examinations, HIV testing, and routine doctor check-ups among women aged 21 to 44 years using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (1993-2009). Using a natural experiment approach, I found significant increases in Pap tests and clinical breast examinations among women eligible for services under the expansions but no significant change in HIV testing or routine doctor check-ups.
我利用行为风险因素监测系统(1993-2009 年)的数据,研究了医疗补助计划生育服务资格扩大对 21 至 44 岁女性巴氏涂片(Pap)检查、临床乳房检查、艾滋病毒检测和常规医生检查利用的影响。通过自然实验方法,我发现,在有资格获得扩大服务的女性中,巴氏涂片检查和临床乳房检查显著增加,但艾滋病毒检测和常规医生检查没有显著变化。
