Abstract

We examine multi-generational impacts of positive in utero health interventions using a new research design that exploits sharp increases in prenatal Medicaid eligibility that occurred in some states. Our analyses are based on U.S. Vital Statistics Natality files, which enables linkages between individuals' early life Medicaid exposure and the next generation's health at birth. We find evidence that the health benefits associated with treated generations' early life program exposure extend to later offspring. Our results suggest that the returns on early life health investments may be substantively underestimated.

儿童时期获得安全网的多代影响:早期医疗补助与下一代健康》。
我们采用一种新的研究设计,利用某些州产前医疗补助资格的急剧增加,研究了积极的子宫内健康干预措施对多代人的影响。我们的分析以美国生命统计出生档案为基础,该档案可将个人早期医疗补助暴露与下一代出生时的健康状况联系起来。我们发现有证据表明,早年接受医疗补助计划治疗的几代人的健康受益会延伸到后来的后代。我们的结果表明,早期医疗投资的回报可能被严重低估。
