This $413,660 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will support a study to evaluate the impact of Illinois' Health Benefits for Immigrant Seniors (HBIA) and Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults (HBIS) programs on healthcare utilization and outcomes among aging Latino immigrants.

The study aims to: 1) examine changes in emergency department visits and hospitalizations among Latino older adults, as well as uncompensated hospital care, following implementation of the HBIA/HBIS programs; and 2) analyze how social determinants of health shape changes in healthcare utilization after the programs' rollout. The researchers will leverage Illinois hospital and Medicare data, as well as American Community Survey data, to conduct interrupted time series and difference-in-difference analyses from 2018-2023. The findings are expected to contribute to scholarship on drivers of health disparities among the growing aging immigrant population and inform policies to expand healthcare access for undocumented and non-citizen individuals.
