ACABRIEFCOMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY ACTIVITIES IN AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
OUTREACH AND ENROLLMENT: INSIGHTS FROM CASE STUDIES
HHS/ASPE has released the intramural research brief "Community Action Agency Activities in Affordable Care Act Outreach and Enrollment: Insights from Case Studies" today!  The brief can be found here

This intramural research brief presents qualitative information on selected community action agencies' (CAA) Affordable Care Act-related outreach and enrollment activities and identifies themes that emerged across the sites. The goals of the brief are to (1) provide examples of a range of activity levels and promising practices that can serve as examples to other CAAs interested in doing more to help their communities increase rates of health insurance, and (2) provide information to federal program officials who may be interested in encouraging CAAs' ACA-related work and addressing the barriers that may be limiting such efforts.
