NOTES: AFDC is Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Children in capitated Medicaid plans, institutionalized children, and children who were dually enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare are excluded. Otherwise, for each analysis year separately, the study population includes children enrolled in Medicaid for at least 1 month. In Michigan, foster care children could not be identified separately from AFDC cash-assistance children.
