Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The Aftermath of Welfare Reform: Health, Health Insurance, and Access to Care Among Families Leaving TANF Karen Seccombe, Ph.D.* Kim Hoffman, B.A. Heather Hartley, Ph.D.** Jason Newsom, Ph.D.*** Gwen Kelly, M.A.* Christina Albo, M.A.* Tosha Zaback, B.A.* Cathy Gordon, B.A.* Richard Lockwood, M.P.H.** Clyde Pope, Ph.D.**** Abstract This research reports the initial findings of a statewide study that looks at health, insurance, and access to health care among 637 families leaving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) for work. Most national and state-level research and evaluation projects focus primarily on the employment characteristics of TANF leavers and their economic struggles, with little attention to health and access to health care. The ability to obtain health care is fundamental to the security, stability, and well-being of poor families. Respondents were interviewed approximately 6-7 months after leaving TANF for work; therefore they should be eligible for the transitional health benefits at the time of the interview. Nonetheless, these findings suggest that insurance coverage and access is already becoming problematic. Logistic regression models isolate the numerous personal and structural barriers that are keeping families from getting needed health and dental care, and prescription medicines.
