Interim study to examine the effectiveness of programs addressing health-related social needs.

The resolution proposes an interim study to examine the effectiveness of programs addressing health-related social needs, such as food insecurity, unemployment, and housing instability. The study will focus on the outcomes of programs targeting populations with high health and social risk factors, their effects on participants' health outcomes, health services utilization, and health care costs. It will also examine programs implemented in other states under Medicaid. The Health and Human Services Committee will conduct the study and report findings to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
