About SHADAC
The University of Minnesota's State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) is funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to help states monitor rates of health insurance coverage and to understand factors associated with uninsurance.
In addition to providing health policy analysis, SHADAC provides technical assistance to federal agencies that conduct health insurance surveys, and states that conduct their own surveys and/or use data from national surveys.
Our goal is to help bridge the gap between health insurance data and the policy making process. SHADAC produces timely and targeted health policy research with a focus on deriving lessons from state variations in policy and outcomes in the national context.
SHADAC maintains an ongoing research agenda related to issues of health insurance coverage, data collection methods, and state health policy. Visit our topics page to search our resources.
For an overview of SHADAC's history, refer to our report, "Bridging the Gap between Research and Policy, 2001-2006."
SHADAC is housed within the Division of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health.
