Abstract
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) administers Medicaid health benefits to approximately 4.3 million individuals. Due to increasing interest regarding the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on Medicaid health outcomes, this study evaluated the presence of significant associations between a comprehensive set of SDOH variables and key health care quality measures for (1) the Texas Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) population under age 19 in 2018 and (2) the Texas Medicaid pregnant women population in 2018. Additionally, this study estimated the degree (as a percentage) to which individual SDOH variables contributed to the collective SDOH impact by analyzing the statistically significant associations between individual SDOH variables and the performance outcomes of each quality measure per study population.
