Analysis shows higher prevalence of mental health conditions in children with Medicaid in suburban and urban areas, indicating necessity for targeted interventions.
Variations in prevalence differed widely across states and by communities' rurality-urbanity. Medicaid-insured children had consistently higher prevalence than commercially insured children throughout all states. Suburban communities demonstrated the highest prevalence rates for both insurance types, with geographic clustering of high-prevalence areas observed particularly in eastern states for Medicaid-insured children and primarily in urban areas for commercially insured children.
