State
Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC)
The University of Minnesota's State Health Access Data
Assistance Center (SHADAC) is funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
to help states monitor rates of health insurance coverage and to understand
factors associated with uninsurance. SHADAC provides targeted policy
analysis and technical assistance to states that are conducting their
own health insurance surveys and/or using data from national surveys.
State Coverage
Matrix
The State Coverage Matrix organizes available information on specific
strategies states have used to expand or sustain insurance coverage.
It provides state-specific information and general information about
the strategy and links to research sources. The Matrix was developed
and is maintained by the State Coverage Initiatives Program, a national
initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that works with states
to plan, execute, and maintain health insurance expansions, as well
as to improve the availability and affordability of health care coverage.
