Treatment for Comorbid Mental Health Disorders Among Patients Treated for Opioid Disorder
This study assessed whether delivery of opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment through a hub and spoke (HS) model is associated with better adherence to psychotropic medication treatment, compared to usual treatment. Washington State’s HS model required each network to include at least one mental health program, so we hypothesized that it would improve psychotropic medication adherence for people with both a mental health disorder (MHD) and an OUD. …

Risk Factors for Shoulder Dystocia
Use of Systematic Methods to Improve Disease Identification in Administrative Data
BACKGROUND: Selection of International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-based coded information for complex conditions such as severe sepsis is a subjective process and the results are sensitive to the codes selected. We use an innovative data exploration method to guide ICD-based case selection for severe sepsis. METHODS: Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, we applied Latent Class Analysis (LCA) to determine if medical coders follow any unifo…

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Patient Experience With Communication in Hospitals
BACKGROUND: An important aspect of medical care is clear and effective communication, which can be particularly challenging for individuals based on race/ethnicity. Quality of communication is measured systematically in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey, and analyzed frequently such as in the National Healthcare Disparities Report. Caution is needed to discern differences in communication quality…
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Substance Abuse Treatment Initiation and Engagement
This study examined variations by race and ethnicity in initiation and engagement, two performance measures of treatment for substance use disorders that focus on the timely receipt of services during the early stage of substance abuse treatment. Administrative data from the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services were linked with facility-level information from the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services. …
Association of Military Deployment of a Parent or Spouse and Changes in Dependent Use of Health Care Services
BACKGROUND: U.S. Armed Forces members and spouses report increased stress associated with combat deployment. It is unknown, however, whether these deployment stressors lead to increased dependent medication use and health care utilization. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the deployment of Army active duty members (sponsors) is associated with changes in dependent health care utilization. DESIGN: A quasi-experimental, pre-post study of health care…

Little is known about organizational and state level factors that might affect pediatricians' efforts to coordinate care for children with mental illnesses. OBJECTIVES: This study used data from a survey of primary care pediatricians to …
