The Law Library of Congress is proud to present the report, Regulation and Funding of Alternative Maternity Care Providers.

This report includes surveys of the regulation and funding of two types of alternative maternity care providers, midwives and doulas, in 10 countries around the world. All researched jurisdictions regulate the work of midwives, which is not the case when it comes to doula activities. Health care, which includes midwife services, is funded either by the government at the federal, provincial, territorial, or local level or by a national health insurance scheme. Doula services are not funded in the vast majority of the researched jurisdictions.

This report is one of the many prepared by the Law Library of Congress. Visit the Comprehensive Index of Legal Reports page for a complete listing of reports and the Current Legal Topics page for our highlighted and newer reports. 

There is no such health care scheme for the middle class in the country and this is the reason the Narendra Modi led government wants to come up with this new scheme.

The advisory was issued by the Ministry of AYUSH to support the efforts of all as a measure towards enhancing immunity.

The study aims to collect sero-epidemiological data from 10,000 healthcare workers from Max Healthcare and Radiant Lifecare and study the effectiveness of HCQ as prophylaxis for COVID-19 infection.

Nearly half of phase 3 cancer clinical trials carried out by the NCI-sponsored SWOG Cancer Research Network were associated with clinical care guidelines or new drug approvals, a study in JAMA Network Open shows.

Researchers are converging on which genes are linked to morning sickness—the nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy—and the more severe form: hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). And once we know what those genes are—can we help pregnant women feel better? News intern Roni Dengler joins Sarah Crespi to talk about a new study that suggests a protein already flagged for its role in cancer-related nausea may also be behind HG. In a second segment, Tracy Bedrosian of the Neurotechnology Innovations Translator talks about how the amount of time spent being licked by mom might be linked to changes in the genetic code of hippocampal neurons in mice pups. Could these types of genomic changes be a new type of plasticity in the brain? This week’s episode was edited by Podigy. Listen to previous podcasts.

Earthworms are easy … to find. But despite their prevalence and importance to ecosystems around the world, there hasn’t been a comprehensive survey of earthworm diversity or population size. This week in Science, Helen Philips, a postdoctoral fellow at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research and the Institute of Biology at Leipzig University, and colleagues published the results of their worldwide earthworm study, composed of data sets from many worm researchers around the globe. Host Sarah Crespi gets the lowdown from Philips on earthworm myths, collaborating with worm researchers, and links between worm populations and climate. Read a related commentary here.  Sarah also talks with Ziad Obermeyer, a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley, about dissecting out bias in an algorithm used by health care systems in the United States to recommend patients for additional health services. With unusual access to a proprietary algorithm, inputs, and outputs, Obermeyer and his colleagues found that the low amount of health care dollars spent on black patients in the past caused the algorithm to underestimate their risk for poor health in the future. Obermeyer and Sarah discuss how this happened and remedies that are already in progress. Read a related commentary here.  Finally, in the monthly books segment, books host Kiki Sanford interviews author Alice Gorman about her book Dr. Space Junk vs The Universe: Archaeology and the Future.

Does high-stakes evaluation scare teachers away? And if so, which teachers? Does this help or harm students? High-stakes evaluation does affect who comes into the classroom and who stays there, and research indicates that this flux may actually be good for students.

Carey is open to the idea of playing in empty stadiums, which according to him could be a way forward.

The quasi-private relief fund does not stand up to scrutiny.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) announced today that Mathematica is the grand prizewinner of the Agency’s Visualization Resources of Community-Level Social Determinants of Health Challenge for its Data Visualization Tool.

Mathematica has released positive evaluation findings from Year 2 of the Million Hearts® model, just in time for American Heart Month this February.

The Vermont Division of Vocational Rehabilitation’s Linking Learning to Careers (LLC) program provides enhanced services to help high school students with disabilities as they make the transition to careers or postsecondary education. These enhanced services include access to assistive technology.

This report presents the findings from Mathematica’s cumulative review of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Maternal Health Quality of Care (MHQoC) strategy in India.

This Health Affairs article describes primary care delivery system reform models that were developed and tested over the past decade by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation—which was created by the Affordable Care Act—and reflect on key lessons and remaining challenges.

In the March issue of Health Affairs, which is devoted to examining the effects and legacy of the ACA, Mathematica’s experts discuss “The Changing Landscape of Primary Care: Effects of the ACA and Other Efforts over the Past Decade.”

Mathematica study will evaluate the effectiveness of the Transitional Care Model (TCM) in reducing rehospitalizations and will promote widespread use of the program in a number of health systems.

Mathematica was contracted by Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) to create an updated inventory of state- and territory-level Medicaid policies, programs, or initiatives that are designed to improve the access to, quality of, and outcomes of maternity care services.
