Shin P, Finnegan B, Rosenbaum S. 2008. How does investment in community health centers affect the economy?. New York, NY: RCHN Community Health Foundation, 8 pp. (Research brief no. 1)

Annotation: This research paper analyzes how a $250 million appropriations increase in the federally- supported community health centers program would impact local, state, and national economies; affect the number of patients who receive health services; and influence indirect benefits related to jobs and other community investments. Included in the analysis are tables that compare the impact of a national $250 million investment in rural and urban communities and also estimate the impact of a $1 million dollar investment -- in terms of additional revenues generated, total economic activity generated, new patients served, and jobs created -- across each of the states. Data for the analysis was derived from the Uniform Data System, which tabulates financial, service, staffing, and patient data on all federally funded health centers, combined with economic models developed to calculate the indirect community impact.

Udry JR. 1994. Prospective longitudinal study of adolescent health. Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina , 44 pp.

Annotation: This is a proposal for a program project that would collect and analyze a broad range of data on adolescent life and health incomes using a school-based sample, in-school interviews, and in-home interviews. Serving as a data resource, various contextual factors (community, school, peer group, and family) could then be scientifically analyzed to see what effects they may have on adolescent health outcomes.
