About the Study

In 2022, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) to fund contractor Manhattan Strategy Group and subcontractor American Institutes of Research to conduct the EBSA Health Outcomes Metrics Study. The study aims to better understand the current landscape, best practices, and data sources related to approaches that federal and state agencies and the insurance industry use to estimate the impacts of their health-related enforcement actions and interventions.

This Department of Labor-funded study was a result of the learning agenda process. It contributes to the labor evidence-base to inform worker protection, labor standards, and workplace-related benefits programs and policies and addresses Departmental strategic goals and priorities.
