Kathleen Thiede
Call's research falls in to two related
areas. The first is access to health
insurance coverage and health care services
among vulnerable populations: low-income,
young, elderly, racial and ethnic
communities, chronically ill and rural
populations. Within that domain, she has
helped create a survey of health insurance
coverage for use by states and has developed
a stream of research concerning the
complexities of measuring health insurance
coverage. This includes understanding
variation in estimates of coverage between
the various national surveys, as well as
reasons why state specific surveys produce
different estimates of coverage than the
Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey,
Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS-ASEC).
Her research also explores discrepancies
between survey and administrative data
counts of insurance coverage. Dr. Call is an
Investigator at the State Health Access Data
Assistance Center (SHADAC) funded by the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which
assists other states in monitoring rates of
coverage and using data to inform policy and
improve access. The second area of research
Dr. Call is developing is community-based
participatory research focusing on barriers
to health care.Teaches
