The Effectiveness of Boosting Public Health Insurance Enrollment Through Community Events – Issue Brief

Velonis, MPH, and Debbi Main, PhD, of the University of Colorado Denver, this issue brief provides an examination of the effectiveness of these methods for increasing enrollment among The Trust’s Expanding Outreach and Enrollment for Children and Youth grantees.
