    Abstract Objective: Healthy Families America (HFA) is an evidence-based home visiting program that provides parenting education with the overall goal of preventing child maltreatment and optimizing child development. This study compares the health care utilization and vaccination of infants enrolled in HFA with similar infants not in the program.
    Methods: From January 2014 to December 2020, 604 children served statewide by HFA in Arkansas were identified in vital statistics and administrative medical claims records. Using propensity score matching, infants in HFA were matched with nonprogram control infants based on family demographics and birth characteristics. Double propensity-score adjustment method and generalized linear models were used to estimate program effects.
    Results: In the first year after birth hospital discharge and compared to a propensity score matched cohort of infants not enrolled, those enrolled in HFA had significantly greater use of the emergency department overall (incidence rate ratios (IRR) = 1.24 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.43], P = .004) and for less complex conditions (IRR = 1.22 [95% CI = 1.04-1.44], P = .01), more outpatient medical appointments for child wellness (IRR = 1.09 [95% CI = 1.03-1.15], P = .003), illness (IRR = 1.17 [95% CI = 1.07-1.29], P = .001), and speech and language therapies (IRR = 2.86 [95% CI = 1.18-6.93], P = .02), and more medical visits during which vaccinations were provided (IRR = 1.09 [95% CI = 1.04-1.15], P = .002).
    Conclusions: Findings from the current study suggest that HFA supports increased health care utilization and visits in which vaccinations occurred during the first year of life.

    Abstract Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends all pediatricians to be ready to implement trauma-informed care, including the mitigation of impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) through screening and identification of at-risk population. Reliable survey tools and knowledge of the consequences of ACEs are needed.
    Objective: This study examines the healthcare utilization and diagnoses captured in insurance claims in association with the number of ACEs recorded by the Family Map Inventories (FMI). The FMI offers a comprehensive family assessment, which includes child ACEs (FMI-ACEs) using prospective, proxy risk indicators.
    Participants and setting: Low-income families (N = 1647) with children aged three to five years who completed the FMI were linked to their insurance records.
    Methods: Multivariable logistic and generalized linear regression models were fitted to explore the association between the number of ACEs (FMI-ACEs scores) and healthcare utilization and health outcomes.
    Results: Children were exposed at rates of 32.4 % to zero, 31.7 % to one, 19.7 % to two, and 16.3 % to three or more ACEs. The FMI-ACEs scores were associated with greater use of non-preventive outpatient visits, filled prescriptions, and overall use of healthcare. Incidences of adjustment disorders were 4 times and attention-deficit conducts were 2 times higher among children with the highest FMI-ACEs scores than those with zero FMI-ACEs.
    Conclusions: This study marks the first effort to conduct insurance claims data review to ascertain association between a survey measure of ACEs and health utilization and diagnosed conditions. The association of ACEs risk screening and healthcare utilization and diagnoses was observed.

    Abstract Purpose: The Following Baby Back Home (FBBH) visiting program, which is provided by nurse and social worker teams, supports families of low-birthweight preterm infants after discharge from a neonatal intensive care unit. Enrollment in the FBBH program has been documented to reduce the likelihood of infant death. In this study, we conducted a cost-benefit analysis of the FBBH program.
    Design and methods: Infants enrolled in the FBBH program (N = 416) were identified through administrative records. Infants in the FBBH program were propensity score matched with comparison infants to estimate the difference in healthcare costs in the first year of life.
    Results: Infants enrolled in the FBBH program incurred similar medical care costs compared to a comparison group. Avoided deaths, program costs, healthcare costs resulted in net economic benefits of the FBBH program to avoid infant death estimate at $83,020, cost per life saved at $3080, and benefit-to-cost ratio at 27.95.
    Conclusions: The FBBH program's net economic benefits from avoided deaths suggest a substantial return on investment of resources, yielding benefits in excess of program and healthcare costs.
    Practice implications: It is economically beneficial to provide home visiting services to families of low-birthweight babies by a team comprised of a registered nurse and social worker.

    Abstract Background and objectives: The Following Baby Back Home (FBBH) home visiting program supports families of high-risk low birth weight preterm infants after discharge from a hospital NICU. This study compares the health care use, immunization, and infant mortality rate of low birth weight preterm infants enrolled in FBBH with similar infants not in the program.
    Methods: From January 2013 to December 2017, 498 children enrolled in FBBH were identified in Arkansas vital statistics records and the Arkansas All-Payer Claims Database. Infants in FBBH were matched with children in a control group on the basis of demographics and medical conditions of the infant. Generalized linear mixed models with double propensity-score adjustment were used to estimate program effects.
    Results: In the first year after discharge and compared with a propensity-score matched cohort of control infants, those enrolled in FBBH were significantly more likely to have higher numbers of medical appointments and more compliant immunization history. The odds of dying in the first year of life for control infants was 4.4 times (95% confidence interval: 1.2-20.7) higher than those managed in the program.
    Conclusions: A goal of the FBBH home visiting program is to work with parents to educate and support them as they care for their medically fragile infants. We conclude that education and support was instrumental in the infant health care use and outcome differences we observed during the first year of life.

    Abstract Masks are effective at limiting transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 (1), but the impact of policies requiring masks in school settings has not been widely evaluated (2-4). During fall 2021, some school districts in Arkansas implemented policies requiring masks for students in kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12). To identify any association between mask policies and COVID-19 incidence, weekly school-associated COVID-19 incidence in school districts with full or partial mask requirements was compared with incidence in districts without mask requirements during August 23-October 16, 2021. Three analyses were performed: 1) incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated comparing districts with full mask requirements (universal mask requirement for all students and staff members) or partial mask requirements (e.g., masks required in certain settings, among certain populations, or if specific criteria could not be met) with school districts with no mask requirement; 2) ratios of observed-to-expected numbers of cases, by district were calculated; and 3) incidence in districts that switched from no mask requirement to any mask requirement were compared before and after implementation of the mask policy. Mean weekly district-level attack rates were 92-359 per 100,000 persons in the community* and 137-745 per 100,000 among students and staff members; mean student and staff member vaccination coverage ranged from 13.5% to 18.6%. Multivariable adjusted IRRs, which included adjustment for vaccination coverage, indicated that districts with full mask requirements had 23% lower COVID-19 incidence among students and staff members compared with school districts with no mask requirements. Observed-to-expected ratios for full and partial mask policies were lower than ratios for districts with no mask policy but were slightly higher for districts with partial policies than for those with full mask policies. Among districts that switched from no mask requirement to any mask requirement (full or partial), incidence among students and staff members decreased by 479.7 per 100,000 (p<0.01) upon implementation of the mask policy. In areas with high COVID-19 community levels, masks are an important part of a multicomponent prevention strategy in K-12 settings (5).
