This study examined the effects of the Great Recession (GR) on type 2 diabetes management using individual-level data in a historically underserved, high-risk patient population at a federally qualified health center (FQHC). Comparing three time periods (pre-recession [2004–2006], recession [2007–2009], and recession recovery [2010–2012]), we found that patients had significant increases in blood pressure and body mass index as they entered the GR. Conversely, we found a significant decrease in HbA1c across the study period likely influenced by interventions to improve HbA1c during this time at this FQHC. While previous studies on the impact of the GR have focused primarily on the middle class, our findings suggest that high-risk patients who are already struggling to maintain their health may be further hurt by economic downturns. Intensive programs to serve these patients can act as a safety net to buffer the potential health impacts of these downturns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
