Research summary
AI-generated

Justin Blackburn studies health services and health policy, with a focus on how public insurance programs like Medicaid affect people's access to and use of healthcare. Much of the work examines disparities across groups (by race, geography, and insurance status) and covers populations such as children, older adults in nursing homes, people with mental illness, and rural residents. The research uses economic and statistical methods to evaluate policies including Medicaid expansion, telehealth, and home- and community-based services.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
