Question
The following is an excerpt from "The Oregon Experiment- Effects of Medicaid on Clinical
Outcomes," by Baicker et al. (2013). Fill in the blank identifying the method used in this paper given
the description in the paragraph (I've given you a hint on the key points by italicizing a few phrases):
"Adults randomly selected in the lottery were given the option to apply for Medicaid, but not all persons
selected by the lottery enrolled in Medicaid (either because they did not apply or because they were
deemed ineligible). Lottery selection increased the probability of Medicaid coverage during our
study period by 24.1 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI], 22.3 to 25.9; P<0.001). The
subgroup of lottery winners who ultimately enrolled in Medicaid was not comparable to the overall
group of persons who did not win the lottery. We, therefore, used a standard______ _approach... to
estimate the causal effect of enrollment in Medicaid. Intuitively, since the lottery increased the chance
of being enrolled in Medicaid by about 25 percentage points, and we assumed that the lottery affected
outcomes only by changing Medicaid enrollment, the effect of being enrolled in Medicaid was simply
about 4 times (i.e., 1 divided by 0.25) as high as the effect of being able to apply for Medicaid. This
yielded a causal estimate of the effect of insurance coverage."
