Aging, Disability, and Long-Term Care
Our health research explores a wide range of policy issues related to the availability, delivery, and financing of health and long-term care and other social services for older people and persons with disabilities. A major focus of our analyses is determining how effectively and efficiently government programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act, are operating and how these programs affect their target populations.
