ABSTRACT
Civic engagement, including voting, has been linked to health outcomes for adults. Here, we found that census tract-level voter participation rates are significantly associated with pediatric inpatient bed-day rates even after adjustment for socioeconomic deprivation. Such links suggest that promotion of voting participation could be warranted in healthcare settings.
