New Census Estimates Show 3 Million More Americans Had Health Insurance Coverage in 2012. Conclusion
CPS-ASEC health insurance coverage estimates for 2012 continue a two-year reversal of a decade-long increase in the number of uninsured Americans. There were significant declines in uninsurance rates overall and among subgroups such as children, Latinos, and nonworkers. Uninsurance rates did not get significantly worse for any of the subgroups
New Census Estimates Show 3 Million More Americans Had Health Insurance Coverage in 2012. Sources of Health Insurance Coverage

New Census Estimates Show 3 Million More Americans Had Health Insurance Coverage in 2012. Age and Uninsurance
The estimated percentage of children (under 19) who were uninsured fell from 9.7% in 2011 to 9.2% in 2012 (Table 1), a statistically significant change. The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA), signed by President Obama in 2009, has improved public coverage under Medicaid and CHIP with provisions such as Express Lan
New Census Estimates Show 3 Million More Americans Had Health Insurance Coverage in 2012. Estimates of the Uninsured
The increase in health insurance coverage in 2012 represents a continuing and encouraging reversal in trends: from 2000-2010, the number of uninsured Americans went up each year. Since 2010, as the economy improved and the early features of the Affordable Care Act took effect, the number of uninsured has gone down. The decline in rates of empl

The Feasibility of Using Electronic Health Data for Research on Small Populations. Potential for Future Research on Small Populations
Despite existing challenges to meeting the conditions needed to use EHR data for research, the experts we interviewed provided examples of innovative ways barriers were being overcome. Additionally, they were cautiously optimistic that some other barriers could overcome in relatively short time frames, potentially resulting in a “tipping point
The Feasibility of Using Electronic Health Data for Research on Small Populations. Organizational Conditions Required for Research Combining Multiple Data Sources
Because of the previously mentioned limitations with using data from a single organization’s EHR for research, the ability to combine EHR data with other electronic data sources is often needed to strengthen study results, particularly for small populations. Combining EHR data across institutions can allow for a larger sample size to increase th
The Feasibility of Using Electronic Health Data for Research on Small Populations. The Growing Availability of Electronic Health Data
For electronic health records to help solve the challenges of conducting research on small n populations, several conditions need to be present. The first is a critical level of adoption of relatively advanced EHRs by a range of providers (e.g., primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, laboratory, and pharmacy) so that information about su

Stigma—the “inferior status, negative regard, and relative powerless that society collectively assigns to individuals and groups that are associated with various conditions, statuses, and attributes” —was identified by the IOM as a major factor that affects access to or use of medical care by LGBT people.

The Feasibility of Using Electronic Health Data for Research on Small Populations. The Growing Availability of Electronic Health Data
The Institute of Medicine sees EHRs as an essential part of a “learning health care system,” and many believe they are critical for the success of medical homes, accountable care organizations, and other provider payment and delivery system reforms resulting from the Affordable Care Act. The use of EHR data for research depends first of all on
