“Treat Them Like a Human Being…They are Somebody’s Somebody”
Developing a Tool to Measure Person-Centered Care in Service Planning
Background: Delivering person-centered care is a key component of health care reform. Despite widespread endorsement, medical and behavioral health settings struggle to specify and measure person-centered care objectively. This study presents the validity and reliability of the Person-Centered Care Planning Assessment Measure (PCCP-AM), an objective measure of the extent to which service planning is person-centered. Methods: Based upon the recove…
Comparing Rates of Adverse Events and Medical Errors on Inpatient Psychiatric Units at Veterans Health Administration and Community-based General Hospitals
OBJECTIVE: There is limited knowledge about how general hospitals and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) hospitals fare relative to each other on a broad range of inpatient psychiatry-specific patient safety outcomes.This research compares data from 2 large-scale epidemiological studies of adverse events (AEs) and medical errors (MEs) in inpatient psychiatric units, one in VHA hospitals and the other in community-based general hospitals. METHOD…
The Differential Effects of Insurance Mandates on Health Care Spending for Children’s Autism Spectrum Disorder
OBJECTIVES: There is substantial variation in treatment intensity among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study asks whether policies that target health care utilization for ASD affect children differentially based on this variation. Specifically, we examine the impact of state-level insurance mandates that require commercial insurers to cover certain treatments for ASD for any fully-insured plan. METHODS: Using insurance claims …

Objective: This pilot study examined the effect of structural family therapy (SFT) on children’s impairment and depressive symptomatology and mothers’ depressive symptomatology and anxiety for 31 families served by a community mental health clinic. Method: A one group predesign/postdesign, with a baseline and two follow-up time points, was used. Results: A series of repeated measures analyses of variance showed significant improvement for mothers…
Payment Source and Emergency Management of Deliberate Self-Harm
Objectives. We investigated whether health insurance type (private vs Medicaid) influences the delivery of acute mental health care to patients with deliberate self-harm. Methods. Using National Medicaid Analytic Extract Files (2006) and MarketScan Research Databases (2005–2007), we analyzed claims focusing on emergency episodes of deliberate self-harm of Medicaid- (n = 8228) and privately (n = 2352) insured adults. We analyzed emergency departme…
Mental Comorbidity and Quality of Diabetes Care Under Medicaid
BACKGROUND: Patients with comorbid medical and mental conditions are at risk for poor quality of care. With the anticipated expansion of Medicaid under health reform, it is particularly important to develop national estimates of the magnitude and correlates of quality deficits related to mental comorbidity among Medicaid enrollees. METHODS: For all 657,628 fee-for-service Medicaid enrollees with diabetes during 2003 to 2004, the study compared He…
The Impact of Children on Legal Actions Taken by Women Victims of Intimate Partner Violence
Understanding Excess Mortality in Persons With Mental Illness
BACKGROUND: Although growing concern has been expressed about premature medical mortality in persons with mental illness, limited data are available quantifying the extent and correlates of this problem using population-based, nationally representative samples. METHODS: The study used data from the 1989 National Health Interview Survey mental health supplement, with mortality data through 2006 linked through the National Death Index (80,850 parti…
Malpractice Premiums and the Supply of Obstetricians
Using longitudinal data on practicing obstetricians from 1998 to 2004 derived from Pennsylvania, Florida, and New York hospital discharge data, this study finds that rising malpractice premiums are associated with an increased rate of exit and a reduced rate of entry for obstetricians. In Pennsylvania and Florida, where premiums rose by an average of 20% per year for four years, the combined effect of more exits and fewer entries was associated w…
Spirituality and Religiousness Among American Jews
In this article we examine the association between spirituality and religiousness for Jews in the United States. Using data from the most recent National Jewish Population Survey of 2000–2001, a large national sample, we examined the extent to which these two concepts correlate. In addition, we compared the relative importance of sociodemographic factors, stressors, and Jewish contextual factors in predicting spirituality and religiousness. We fo…

Racial differences in the characteristics of firearm suicide decedents in the United States
Focusing on the reported growing use of firearms to complete suicide among African Americans, this article analyzes the 1993 National Mortality Followback Survey to examine the association of firearm suicide with race, education, geographic region, access to a firearm, depressive symptoms, and mental health service utilization on decedents aged 15 years and older. After controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, and clinical variables, the analy…
Impact of Maternal Mental Health Status on Child Mental Health Treatment Outcome
The Direction of Denominational Switching in Judaism
This research note examines patterns of denominational switching and the characteristics of switchers within Judaism in the United States. Viewing orthodox, conservative, and reform Judaism and a fourth 'nonspecific' group as categories that range from the most traditional to the least traditional, respectively, we focus on the movement of individuals toward or away from a more traditional denomination in comparison with remaining in the same den…
Use of the Child Behavior Checklist as a Diagnostic Screening Tool in Community Mental Health
Objective: This study examines whether the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) can be used as an accurate psychiatric screening tool for children in community mental health settings. Method: Associations, logistic regression models, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were used to test the predictive relationship between the CBCL and structured interview-derived diagnoses. Results: Associations between CBCL subscales and specific dia…
Parental Depression, Child Mental Health Problems, and Health Care Utilization
BACKGROUND: Small controlled studies suggest that depression and other mental health problems are more common in children of parents with depression than in children of parents without depression. OBJECTIVES: This article examines relationships between parental depression and children's mental health problems and health care utilization in a nationally representative household sample of parents and their children. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross sectional…
Effects of Provider Networks on Health Care Costs for Workers With Short-Term Injuries
OBJECTIVES: This study examines the effects of preferred provider networks on health care costs and service utilization in the treatment of work-related injuries. RESEARCH DESIGN: A retrospective comparison of workers' compensation claims treated by network and non-network providers was conducted. Pairwise matches of individual cases are used to control for differences in case mix and severity of injury between network patients and a non-network …
