Abstract

Social Determinants of Health. Under this program contract, Sensis will conduct a national research study of multicultural Medicaid eligible individuals to better understand how they think Medicaid currently serves, and could better serve, them as related to specific social determinants of health. The purpose of the research is to improve visibility of the importance of Medicaid in addressing the social determinants of health and to inform policy and advocacy for people of color. To be responsive to the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey will be structured to consider the impact of COVID-19 and attendant hardships experienced. Deliverables will include broad and creative dissemination of survey findings.
