Evaluating primary health care utilization among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals in Canada with a view to inform more equitable health measures
Canada is advancing several reforms to strengthen primary health care. Although lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals experience a higher burden of some health conditions, they remain largely absent from these reforms, partly because of limited data. We assessed differences in primary care utilization between LGB and heterosexual individuals to address this gap. We used data from 91,172 heterosexual and 2,550 LGB participants in the 2015–2…
A cost-effectiveness analysis of a multidisciplinary model of care on hepatitis C care among people released from provincial prison in Quebec, Canada
Our multidisciplinary model of care increased the proportion of HCV RNA+ people released from prison who subsequently achieved SVR, at an additional cost of C$25,653 per additional patient. This is only C$5,653 more than the estimated cost of direct-acting antivirals, providing an economic rationale for broader implementation
Lifetime criminal justice involvement is not a barrier to Housing First effectiveness and cost-effectiveness
Introduction: Because justice involvement of people experiencing homelessness and mental illness reduces residential stability and increases economic costs, patterns of criminal history may have an impact on the effectiveness and the cost-effectiveness of the Housing First intervention. Method. This study examined whether the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Housing First compared to usual services vary according to these profiles in parti…

Predictors of housing instability and stability among Housing First participants
This study examined the characteristics of people who experienced housing instability and stability after 24 months of being enrolled in Housing First (HF). A companion study addresses the same objective using qualitative methods. A sequential logistic regression was conducted to determine predictors of unstable and stable housing at 24 months of enrollment in HF in a randomized trial. We applied the Gelberg-Andersen. Behavioral Model for Vulnera…
Programs and Services Offered to Young People Transitioning Out of Care in Canada
Little research has been carried out on young people transitioning out of care in Canada. The objective of this paper was to describe and comment on the services provided to youth leaving care systems in Canada, with a focus on the four provinces with the largest populations (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta). The Quebec government offers only one limited-access transition program, which has just been extended to age 25. Ontario, Br…
Trajectories of medical service use among girls and boys with and without early-onset conduct problems
Clinicians should be aware that childhood CP already predicts increased medical service use in elementary school. Issues specific to different contexts in which injuries might occur and sex differences are discussed
Return on investment from service transformation for young people experiencing mental health problems
Complex interventions such as AOM aim to shift care "upstream": away from acute, emergency, hospital and specialist services and toward community-based programming which is more easily accessible, often more appropriate for early-stage presentations, and more resource-efficient. Carrying out economic evaluations of such interventions is challenging given the constraints of available data and health system organization. Nonetheless, such analyses …
Examining Risk Factors and Protective Resources as Predictors of Recovery Among Youth With Mental Illness and Lived Experience of Homelessness
High level of mental health problems are a critical concern among youth experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. Using data from a randomized controlled trial on Housing First in Canada, this study examined the risk factors and protective resources associated with mental health recovery among 215 homeless youth with mental illness at baseline and at a 24-month follow-up. At study entry, higher levels of recovery were associated with a lower numbe…

The meaning and experience of stress among supported employment clients with mental health problems
Many clinicians are concerned that competitive work may cause excessive stress for people with severe mental health problems. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is acknowledged as the most effective model of supported employment for this population. The manner in which IPS clients define and experience employment-related stress is poorly understood. This qualitative study aims to explore how people with mental health problems receiving IPS se…

METHODS: The study design was a randomized controlled trial conducted in five Canadian cities. A sample of 950 participants with serious mental illness who were absolutely homeless or…
Effect of Scattered-Site Housing Using Rent Supplements and Intensive Case Management on Housing Stability Among Homeless Adults With Mental Illness
Importance Scattered-site housing with Intensive Case Management (ICM) may be an appropriate and less-costly option for homeless adults with mental illness who do not require the treatment intensity of Assertive Community Treatment. Objective To examine the effect of scattered-site housing with ICM services on housing stability and generic quality of life among homeless adults with mental illness and moderate support needs for mental health servi…

Le soutien à l’emploi de type « IPS » pour les personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves
Jusqu'à tout récemment, trois approches principales ont été utilisées aux États-Unis et au Canada pour favoriser l'intégration au travail des personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves : formations préparatoires à l'emploi compétitif, emplois non compétitifs proposés comme substituts à l'emploi compétitif et incitatifs et contraintes visant à atténuer les réticences des employeurs potentiels à embaucher des personnes atteintes de troubles men…
A Pan-Canadian Evaluation of Supported Employment Programs Dedicated to People with Severe Mental Disorders
The elasticity of demand for health care in Burkina Faso
Like many other developing countries, Burkina Faso has been exploring how community resources can be tapped to co-finance health services. Although revenue generation is important for the viability of health services, effects on utilization and on equity of access to health care must also be considered. The authors present a logistic regression model to derive price elasticities of demand for health care based on cross-sectional survey data. Whil…

Initial effects of the New York State auto safety belt law
New York State began enforcing a mandatory automobile safety belt use law on January 1, 1985. We present a preliminary analysis of its effect on fatalities and injuries. Applying a Poisson statistical model to pre- and post-law belt usage rates together with counts of fatalities and injuries in 12 metropolitan areas, we estimate the first six months' application of the law averted 220 fatal, 1,500 severe, 4,600 moderate, and 2,600 light injuries …
Physician and Practice Characteristics, Frequency of Performance, and the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale
The Resource-Based Relative Value Scale is based in part on the ratings of the work of services obtained from a random sample of physicians in a specialty. Ratings are used without regard to board-certification or other characteristics of the physician, or to the physician's experience with the service. Critics have suggested that all physicians may not be equally qualified to rate the work of services. Using data obtained from the Resource-Based…
Incorporating Practice Costs Into the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale
Practice costs (not including liability insurance costs) account for approximately 41% of the payment for medical and surgical services in the Medicare Fee Schedule. Unlike the portion of the fee schedule that compensates physicians for their work, the practice cost portion of the Medicare Fee Schedule is not resource-based; it is based instead on historical charges. As a result, physicians can recover their practice costs in less time and with l…
