- Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine whether participation in the Mobility Opportunities Via Education (MOVE) program is associated with reduced use of healthcare for individuals with developmental disabilities. The investigators will compare healthcare "events" and healthcare expenditures for children and adults during intervals of at least one year when the subjects were participating in the MOVE program versus intervals of at least one year when the same individuals were not participating in the MOVE program based on health insurance records (i.e. Medicaid). Healthcare events are those which required professional medical services (associated with International Classification of Disease (ICD-XX) codes) or prescription medications. Healthcare events and healthcare expenditures will be reviewed from healthcare records obtained by Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurers and data will be compared between intervals.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Sum of Disability Adjusted Life Years March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2023 Healthcare events will be reviewed from the insurance record. International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes will be use to convert the healthcare event to disability adjusted life years. The sum of all disability adjusted life years will be calculated.
Top Down Motor Milestone Test Score March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2023 From the Mobility Opportunities Via Education (MOVE) program records, the Top Down Motor Milestone (TDMMT) score will be determined as an assessment of function
Cost of Medication Use March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2023 Insurance records will be reviewed and the cost of medication used will be determined.
Cost of Healthcare Events March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2023 Healthcare events will be reviewed from the insurance record and total costs associated with healthcare utilization will be determined.
Hip Range of Motion (Degrees) March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2023 From the Mobility Opportunities Via Education (MOVE) program records, hip range of motion (in degrees) will be determined.
Number of Healthcare Events March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2023 Healthcare events will be reviewed from the insurance record. The number of visits for professional healthcare will be determined.
PedsQL Quality of Life Scale Score March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2023 From the Mobility Opportunities Via Education (MOVE) program records, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) outcome instrument will be used to determine quality of life. The PedsQL is comprised of 7 questions with each question scored on a scale of 0-4. Higher scores indicate a higher quality of life.
