Community Catalyst Churn Toolkit: Stabilizing Coverage for Children and Families
Churn-cycling in and out of insurance coverage or between types of coverage-is a persistent and challenging characteristic of our health insurance landscape. The effects of churn on children, many of whom are covered through Medicaid and CHIP, can be especially problematic, as children require frequent contact with the health care system for preventative services, developmental needs, and routine and acute care. This toolkit is designed to aid advocates in obtaining the data they need to understand the scope and causes of churn in their state's Medicaid/CHIP program(s), as well as resources to select policy approaches to resolving the causes they identify.

NIJ Report - The Impact of Victimization on Residential Mobility: Explaining Racial and Ethnic Patterns Using the National Crime Victimization Survey
Criminal victimization is known to influence decisions to move, but theories suggest that
the processes leading to a moving decision may vary across racial and ethnic groups depending on household socioeconomic characteristics as well as housing market conditions. This study used a longitudinal sample of 34,134 housing units compiled from the National Crime Victimization Survey for the forty largest metropolitan areas in the United States (1995-2003) to study racial/ethnic differences in household moving behavior after victimization.
