The ACA's zero cost-sharing mandate and trends in out-of-pocket expenditures on well-child and screening mammography visits.
This study used a nationally representative sample of ambulatory care visits to estimate the impact of the zero cost-sharing mandate on out-of-pocket expenditures on well-child and screening mammography visits. It concluded that the Affordable Care Act's zero cost-sharing mandate for preventive care has had a large impact on out-of-pocket expenditures for well-child and mammography visits.

Assessment of residents' attitudes and satisfaction before and after implementation of a smoke-free policy in Boston multiunit housing.
The researchers sought to characterize Boston Housing Authority (BHA) resident experiences before and after the 2012 smoke-free policy implementation. They concluded that resident support for smoke-free policies is high, but that lack of enforcement may cause frustration and resentment among residents, potentially leading to a decrease in housing satisfaction.
