From Research to Policy
The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation has now had eight years of experience as an academic research unit interfacing with policymakers. Most of our research has focused on the determinants of health and on the delivery of health care from a population perspective. Each project that we have undertaken has made its own contribution and reinforced or built on the contribution of others. By communicating closely with policymakers at al…

Cultural, Linguistic and Contextual Factors in Validating the Mental Status Questionnaire
This paper examines the impact of linguistic, cultural and contextual factors on the validity of mental status instruments through comparison of the performance of Native and non- Native respondents in a population-based survey of elderly Manitobans. Qualitative data describing potential biases associated with language, cultural and contextual factors are also drawn from observations of interviews using a culturally adapted instrument to screen f…
A Productive Experiment with Administrative Data
From the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Using the Information System to Assess Change
A population-based approach was used to monitor impact of hospital bed closures in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Four years of administrative data were analyzed. Access to hospital services was not adversely affected: The reduction in beds resulted in increases in outpatient surgery and earlier discharges. In addition, access favored the admission of persons with more health care needs. Quality of care, as measured by mortality within 3 months of admission…
The Impact of a Mental Status Score and a Dementia Diagnosis on Mortality and Institutionalization
Scores from the Mental Status Questionnaire (MSQ) obtained from interviews with a 1976 representative sample of community-dwelling elderly and 17 years of health care use data in the Manitoba Longitudinal Study on Aging were used to estimate the prevalence of cognitive impairment and the incidence rate of dementia diagnoses. Estimates of relative risk from Cox's proportional hazard models indicate that, in addition to age and sex, both MSQ scores…
Is Health Care Use Changing
This study used log-linear survival analysis, and log-rank tests to compare 1) the characteristics of two elderly cohorts; 2) their use of physician, hospital, nursing-home and home-care services over 8.5 years; and 3) physician and bed supplies during the two periods. Both cohorts were similar in health status and in their use of hospital, nursing-home, and home-care resources despite a steady decrease in hospital beds during both periods and a …
Do Nursing Homes Reduce Hospital Use
This study applies data from the Manitoba Longitudinal Study on Aging for two purposes. First examined were the hospital-utilization patterns of elderly nursing home admissions during the 2 years before and 2 years after entrance into a facility. In addition, use of the hospital by these new admissions and by long-term nursing home residents was compared with that of the use by the elderly living in the community. When age, sex, and mortality rat…
Elderly Nonusers of Health Care Services
Sociodemographic, health, and health care utilization data on a large representative sample of elderly and multiple logistic regression were used to compare persons making no visits to physicians for 2 years with those making few (one to three) visits but in contact with health practitioners. Results suggest that elderly nonusers are more likely than low users to be single, to have some degree of mental impairment, and to have low educational att…
The Manitoba Longitudinal Study on Aging
This research links survey data from a large probability sample of the elderly population of one Canadian province with provincial insurance data documenting all their health care use during the years before and after the interview. The data show that "the elderly" are not high users of the health care system. Instead, a small proportion of those age 65 and older account for a disproportionately of high health-care use and discusses the implicati…
