Effects of subsidized health insurance on newborn health in Colombia

Colombia's rapid and considerable expansion of health insurance coverage in the1990s provides an opportunity to evaluate in a developing country whether health insurance increases the use of health care services and improves outcomes. Using regression discontinuity design we explore whether sub...

Utilizamos la discontinuidad existente en la regla de elegibilidad del Régimen Subsidiado, el seguro de salud subsidiado para la población pobre, y de esta manera encontramos si el Régimen Subsidiado específicamente incrementa: el número de partos asistidos por doctores, el número de citas prenatales, el número de partos atendidos en hospitales. Adicionalmente revisamos si el Régimen Subsidiado tiene un impacto sobre la salud de los recién nacidos medida por: el peso al nacer, el termino de gestación, el puntaje Apgar y la incidencia de muy bajo y bajo peso al nacer. Encontramos que el Régimen Subsidiado tiene un efecto positivo en el peso al nacer. También encontramos que el impacto en otras medidas de salud o de acceso a personal o centros médicos es positivo, pero no siempre consistentemente significativo.38 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 14 Agosto de 2008https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/005007.htmlEffects of subsidized health insurance on newborn health in ColombiaEfectos del seguro de salud subsidiado en el peso al nacer en ColombiaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPHealth subsidiesChild health outcomesBirth weightPrenatal careSalud pública - ColombiaSubsidios - ColombiaModelos económicosD72, I32, I38Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2008-14.pdfdcede2008-14.pdfapplication/pdf678900https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/0daac82f-cf0a-447f-a128-2ee57b2ac5ba/downloade4157158a20ae89823715f76318a44d6MD51TEXTdcede2008-14.pdf.txtdcede2008-14.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain63544https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/6e940ac6-e8c3-4124-a335-a746d2e7a536/download1d2a0b2c5c0603fec57ce938122e7546MD54THUMBNAILdcede2008-14.pdf.jpgdcede2008-14.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg3582https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/2465feed-1e6d-4468-9c3d-793bd99f7c92/download29367c201a9aac8be780b15460d52044MD551992/8066oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/80662024-06-04 15:44:04.181http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
