Any additional ACA-related topics the group wishes to raise.

Possible questions to consider:

• What other provisions of the ACA do you see NSFG providing information on?

• What other descriptive statistics and analytic questions related to the ACA do you think the NSFG is best equipped to produce (as compared with other surveys such as NHIS, NHANES, and MEPS)? What do you see as NSFG’s unique contribution or niche, given our existing survey content and context?

• At what frequency would you need the data to be able to address some of these descriptive and analytic questions related to ACA?

• Are there specific subpopulations the NSFG should target?

For any potential topics you raise, do you know of questions or findings from other surveys that could be used to guide the NSFG’s questionnaire decisions?

NSFG ACA Workshop, Day 2 Revised (Fri Nov 22)

GENERAL TOPICS

• Inclusion of 1 or more state-based ACA indicators on the public use files; balancing against disclosure risk

  • State has own exchanges or uses federal exchanges

  • Medicaid Family Planning waiver or not

  • Medicaid expansion or not

• Further detail on barriers to getting care

  • Distinguishing between financial versus logistical barriers

  • Timeframe and context for assessing barriers -- Any visit, specific services, reproductive health services

  • Confidentiality concerns for all ages, not just younger people

SERVICE-SPECIFIC ISSUES

• Type of provider for specific services

  • Beyond public/private distinction, what are the key details to capture?

• Forms of payment for specific services

  • How to capture “cost-sharing” (co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles, “out-of-pocket”)

• Followup questions for specific services (or single visits) in the last year:

Did a doctor or other medical care provider talk to you about:

• IPV screening or counseling

• alcohol screening or counseling

• smoking cessation counseling

• other health concerns that may impact contraceptive method choice (e.g, blood pressure)

• other topics?

CONTRACEPTIVE METHOD-SPECIFIC

• Follow-up on where they went to get their contraceptive drug or device, and what they paid for it

• Barriers to getting specific contraceptive methods: “If cost were not a barrier, would you change your method?” Other barriers?

PREGNANCY-SPECIFIC INFORMATION (what is most needed?)

• Gestational diabetes screening (versus actual diagnosis?)

• Gestational weight gain

• Smoking cessation

• Breastfeeding counseling

• Breast pump coverage (since 2012) – for each birth since 2012?

• Other topics?
