Background:
Lindsey Leininger is a health policy researcher whose work focuses on public policy regarding the uninsured. Her dissertation examined the impact of recent public insurance expansions on the insurance coverage of older adolescents. She has also written on the effects of partial-year insurance coverage on children’s access to health care as well as the association between family structure, insurance coverage, and access to care. During her time in the RWJ program, she will examine the effects of public insurance expansions on the consumption patterns of low-income families as well as pursue new work on the effects of health insurance on health outcomes among children. She is keenly interested in contributing to decision-making in the public policy sphere; accordingly, she will actively pursue collaborations with health care policymakers during her two years as a scholar. She received a Ph.D. in Public Policy Studies from the University of Chicago, an M.A. in Economics from Northeastern University, and an A.B. in Economics from Princeton University.
