Analytic Methods Sample Clauses

Analytic Methods. This section includes the details of the selected quantitative and/or qualitative measures to adequately assess the effectiveness of the demonstration. This section should: a. Identify the specific statistical testing which will be undertaken for each measure (e.g., t-tests, chi-square, odds ratio, ANOVA, regression). Table A is an example of how the state might want to articulate the analytic methods for each research question and measure. b. Explain how the state will isolate the effects of the demonstration (from other initiatives occurring in the state at the same time) through the use of comparison groups. c. A discussion of how propensity score matching and difference in differences design may be used to adjust for differences in comparison populations over time (if applicable). d. The application of sensitivity analyses, as appropriate, should be considered.
Analytic Methods. This evaluation will employ both quantitative and qualitative methods in answering the research questions outlined above. The quantitative methods will be simple descriptive methods and the qualitative methods will include analysis of structured administrative interview data and thematic analyses of semi-structured interview data (using content analyses and grounded theory). The remainder of this section describes these methods in greater detail. Table 3 following these descriptions lists each research question along with the associated analytic method to be used in answering that question. For research question 1 (What differences in recipient demographic characteristics exist between FPW enrollees and eligible women who do not enroll in FPW per DY?), Medicaid eligibility files will be used to identify women who are eligible for the FPW program as well as women enrolled in the FPW program. Medicaid eligibility files will also be used to identify demographic characteristics for eligible and enrolled women, and descriptive statistics of the demographic characteristics of FPW enrollees as well as eligible women who do not enroll in the FPW program will be calculated for each demonstration year in the study period (DY20- DY23). Eligible women will be identified as women between the ages of 14-55 who lost Medicaid eligibility for any reason in the two years prior to the DY being examined. FPW enrollees will be identified from Medicaid eligibility files. For research question 2 (What are the interbirth intervals for FPW enrollees compared to eligible women who do not enroll in the FPW program who gave birth during the study period?), Medicaid claims and eligibility data, as well as vital statistics birth certificate data, will be merged and used to compare the average inter-birth intervals (IBI) in number of months for FPW enrollees and eligible women who do not enroll in the FPW program. The IBI will be the time between the first birth that occurred during the DY being examined and the second live birth observed with available birth certificate data. IBI rates will be compared between FPW enrollees and eligible women who are not enrolled in the FPW program using descriptive statistics for each DY. For research question 3 (What is the rate of unintended pregnancies for FPW enrollees and eligible women who do not enroll in the FPW program per DY?), Medicaid claims and DOH data will be merged. Unintended pregnancies will be identified using questions 5 and 14 on ...
