This study is examining Medicaid "unwinding", which refers to the process occurring nationwide of states resuming eligibility redeterminations for Medicaid enrollees after three years of continuous pandemic-related coverage protections. Over 15 million people are estimated to lose Medicaid coverage through this process, with nearly half still remaining eligible but facing administrative barriers to renew their coverage. This study focuses specifically on North Carolina's experiences with unwinding, utilizing a case study approach.The study aims to explore the factors shaping North Carolina's response, challenges encountered, and outcomes thus far. It also examines potential solutions to strengthen Medicaid policy for future redeterminations.

We are implementing a digital health intervention, mPATH-Cloud, in one community health center. Patients who receive a link to the mPATH-Cloud website will be able to view a video designed to help them choose the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test that is best for them. Patients who select colonoscopy will receive a referral from their primary care provider. Patients who do not select colonoscopy will receive a FIT in the mail. We will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing mPATH-Cloud in combination with mailed FIT outreach for increasing CRC screening among community health center patients.
Interviews are being conducted to establish a set of criteria for gauging the success or failure of corporate rebranding campaigns.
