Annotation: This webinar on consent and confidentiality issues for adolescent health care providers features Dr. Ken Cheyne, medical director of Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. Cheyne discusses seven different hypothetical cases dealing with issues of confidentiality in adolescent and young adult healthcare. The examples illustrate how health practitioners and clinics can use policies and personal approaches when dealing with young people and their parents, while also keeping in mind the ethical and legal requirements of consent and confidentiality. These examples are somewhat specific to the state of Iowa, as they cite what is mandated by Iowa code, but can also be helpful to practitioners in other states.

Annotation: This report details the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation-Strong Start (MIHOPE-Strong Start) process of acquiring administrative vital records and Medicaid data from 20 states and more than 40 state agencies. MIHOPE-Strong Start examines the effectiveness of home visiting services on improving birth and maternal health outcomes for women who are enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), as well as their effectiveness at reducing costly health care encounters. The study relies on administrative data to measure infant and maternal health, health care use, and cost outcomes. The MIHOPE-Strong Start experience sheds light on the process of acquiring permission to access such data.
