The Perinatal Quality Improvement Network of Massachusetts (PNQIN), together with the Health Policy Commission, engaged with ICH to develop novel family-driven quality measures of hospital care for families who experienced prenatal opioid exposure.
ICH worked with the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE) to evaluate the MAICEI program, which offers grants to support students with intellectual disabilities to be included in college and university communities of learners.
This qualitative study will examine the impact of the proposed ‘public charge’ rule on health among immigrants in Eastern Massachusetts and will identify paths forward to mitigate impact.
For over 15 years, ICH has been the evaluator for Agenda For Children, a literacy initiative of the City of Cambridge. ICH has helped AFC program staff track participation and understand the impact of several programs designed to educate parents of children ages 0-7 about how to support language and literacy development so their children will enter school ready to learn how to read and write.
ICH is working with the Cambridge Office of College Success on a mixed-methods evaluation to investigate the impact of coaching and other supports on low-income students’ progress, persistence, and performance in college.
This study examines the potential impact of a proposed change to the “public charge” immigration rule on benefit use for children who need care.
