Welcome! edit

Hello, Chang2021, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

This is one state in one country edit

"In February 2019, an amendment was proposed to section 14005.18 of the Welfare and Institutions Code[1] as it relates to Medi-Cal in the state of California. The purpose of this bill is to extend postpartum coverage by Medi-Cal from 60 days up to 1 year postpartum for maternal mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression."

Per the AB 577 bill text[2], the government defines "maternal mental health condition" as any condition that occurs during the pregnancy or after birth and includes a number of mental health diagnoses, including postpartum depression. Prior to this proposed amendment, all services covered by Medi-Cal for low-income pregnant women would terminate 60 days after giving birth. Postpartum depression and mood disorders are common health-related issues that can arise within the first year after giving birth. The amendment was widely well-received and awaits discussion on the assembly floor[3]

Did it even pass? Do we have secondary sources that discuss the implications? Regardless would go in the section on society and culture if anywhere.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

References edit

 
 
Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which has a button "Cite" click on it
  2. Then click on "Automatic" or "Manual"
  3. For Manual: Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details, then click "Insert"
  4. For Automatic: Paste the URL or PMID/PMC and click "Generate" and if the article is available on PubMed Central, Citoid will populate a citation which can be inserted by clicking "Insert"

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:57, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
