To wrap up this year's author podcast series, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Angela Liu, PhD, MPH, assistant research professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, about her December 2025 study, "Mental Health Care Use After Leaving Medicare Advantage for Traditional Medicare."
