WHY AREN'T MORE CHILDREN ENROLLED IN MEDICAID OR SCHIP? -  Parents' 
reasons for not obtaining public health insurance for children are 
more complex than once thought, finds an Urban Institute evaluation 
that suggests ways to improve enrollment. Parents interviewed in a 
large national survey gave a variety of reasons for not enrolling 
their children in public health insurance programs, leading 
researchers to question whether the current emphasis on education and 
outreach is sufficient to increase program participation.

COLLABORATION BETWEEN WIC AND MANAGED CARE: A Resource Guide - A 
survey from the Women's and Children's Center of the Rollins School 
of Public Health at Emory University finds that few states are 
actively practicing the kind of coordination between WIC and Medicaid 
managed care organizations which is key in improving health outcomes 
for vulnerable populations enrolled in WIC and Medicaid.
