You are invited to attend this year's session of the Study Group on Access
at
the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association in Boston,
sponsored by the Committee on Health Services Research of the Medical Care
Section. The theme for this year's session was inspired by the flurry of
activity around state health reforms to expand coverage of uninsured
populations, and the challenges of evaluating the effects of those efforts.
Presenters will focus on plans for evaluation, and measurement and
methodologic
issues, including consideration of novel uses of existing databases,
surveys,
and case studies.

Details and program are below. Please R.S.V.P. (to me) so that we may send
you
advance materials. Space is Limited.
