Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Depression Care in Community-Dwelling Elderly in the United States
Objectives. We investigated racial/ethnic disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of depression among community-dwelling elderly. Methods. We performed a secondary analysis of Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey data (n = 33 708) for 2001 through 2005. We estimated logistic regression models to assess the association of race/ethnicity with the probability of being diagnosed and treated for depression with either antidepressant medication or ps…
Antidepressant Treatment and Adherence to Antiretroviral Medications Among Privately Insured Persons with HIV/Aids
Substance Abuse and Hospitalization for Mood Disorder Among Medicaid Beneficiaries
Objectives. We compared the influence of substance abuse with that of other comorbidities (e.g., anxiety, HIV) among people with mood disorder (N = 129 524) to explore risk factors for psychiatric hospitalization and early readmission within 3 months of discharge. Methods. After linking Medicaid claims data in 5 states (California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Texas) to community-level information, we used logistic and Cox regression to exa…
Adherence to Antidepressant Treatment Among Privately Insured Patients Diagnosed With Depression
BACKGROUND: Antidepressants are effective in treatment of depression, but poor adherence to medication is a major obstacle to effective care. OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe patient and provider level factors associated with treatment adherence. METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational study using medical and pharmacy claims from a large health plan, for services provided between January 2003 and January 2005. We studied a total of 4312 …
Studying Prescription Drug Use and Outcomes With Medicaid Claims Data
Medicaid claims and eligibility data, particularly when linked to other sources of patient-level and contextual information, represent a powerful and under-used resource for health services research on the use and outcomes of prescription drugs. However, their effective use poses many methodological and inferential challenges. This article reviews strengths, limitations, challenges, and recommended strategies in using Medicaid data for research o…
Sensitivity of an Aids Case-Finding Algorithm
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the sensitivity of an AIDS case-finding algorithm. METHOD: This study applied the AIDS case-finding algorithm to paid Medicaid claims linked to New Jersey AIDS surveillance data and assesses its sensitivity across subgroups of patients. FINDINGS: Of the 7183 cases with confirmed AIDS, based on the state's registry information, 95% (n = 6818) were correctly detected using all Medicaid claims,…
Diffusion of New Generation Antidepressant Treatment Among Elderly Diagnosed With Depression
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This study analyzes the prevalence of new generation antidepressant treatment including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use from 1992 to 1997 among the elderly diagnosed with depression, using a large, nationally representative survey of Medicare beneficiaries. Relationships between use of new generation antidepressant treatment and socioeconomic characteristics, physical comorbidity, insurance coverage, and care…
