Linking Health Records

Linking Mothers and Infants in Medicaid Data

In Orr et al. (2024), we utilize nationwide Medicaid claims data to develop a scalable, privacy-preserving algorithm that links 11.68 million mother-infant dyads across all 50 states. This dataset enables critical research on intergenerational health outcomes. Code will be shared upon publication.
