Still, they and other youth are suffering from lack of access to care, improper diagnoses, the ever-present stigma attached to psychological treatment, and for some, racial disparities, says an article from CWLA's Children's Voice. Shortages of beds, barriers to access, and holes in the infrastructure of child mental health leave many kids seeking treatment in emergency rooms, pediatric wards, or adult facilities - or simply going home to wait. http://www.cwla.org/articles/cv0105mentalhealth.htm EXTENDING MEDICAID AND CHIP TO PARENTS IMPROVES KIDS' COVERAGE - States that have expanded their Medicaid and CHIP programs to parents have far lower rates of uninsured eligible children, according to a new report from The Commonwealth Fund http://www.commonwealthfund.org/media/releases/lambrew_release05302001.asp PATIENTS' RIGHTS BILLS - Two useful analyses of the two major patients' rights bills under consideration are available from The National Partnership on Women and Families, and see the Action Alert from Families USA. http://familiesusa.org/PBORalert_5_01.htm -- Barb Van Horn (M.Ed., Reading) Co-Director, Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy Co-Director, Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy College of Education, Penn State University 102 Rackley Building, University Park, PA 16802-3202 BLV1@PSU.EDU (e-mail) 814-865-5876 (phone) 814-863-6108 (fax) "Moving adult literacy from the Margins to the Mainstream"
