  • Prescription Drug Dispensing and Patient Costs After Implementation of a No Behavioral Health Cost-Sharing Law

    Open AccessEzra Golberstein, James M Campbell et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2024

    These findings suggest that the implementation of the New Mexico NCS law was successful in lowering out-of-pocket spending on prescription medications for MH/SUDs, but that there was no association of NCS with the volume of medications dispensed in the first 6 months after implementation. A key challenge is to identify policies that protect from high out-of-pocket spending while also promoting access to needed care

  • Association of Primary Care Visit Length With Potentially Inappropriate Prescribing

    Open AccessHannah T Neprash, John F Mulcahy et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2023

    In this cross-sectional study, shorter visit length was associated with a higher likelihood of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for patients with upper respiratory tract infections and coprescribing of opioids and benzodiazepines for patients with painful conditions. These findings suggest opportunities for additional research and operational improvements to visit scheduling and quality of prescribing decisions in primary care

    Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Mental Health for Children and AdolescentsStates and localities are taking unprecedented steps to respond to the public health threat posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Among the measures intended to promote social distancing, many schools have been closed and classes shifted to homebased distance-learning models.The first school closures began in mid-March 2020 and some states have a…

  • Cumulative Exposure to Neighborhood Context

    Open AccessPhilippa J Clarke, Philippa Clarke et al.ARTICLEResearch on Aging2014

    Over the last two decades, research has assessed the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic factors and individual health. However, existing research is based almost exclusively on cross-sectional data, ignoring the complexity in health transitions that may be shaped by long-term residential exposures. We address these limitations by specifying distinct health transitions over multiple waves of a 15-year study of American adults. We focu…

  • The Effect of School Quality on Black-White Health Differences

    Open AccessDavid E Frisvold, David Frisvold et al.ARTICLEDemography2013Cited by: 4References: 34

    This study assesses the effect of black-white differences in school quality on black-white differences in health in later life resulting from the racial convergence in school quality for cohorts born between 1910 and 1950 in southern states with segregated schools. Using data from the 1984–2007 National Health Interview Surveys linked to race-specific data on school quality, we find that reductions in the black-white gap in school quality led to …

  • Income and the utilization of long-term care services

    Open AccessPierpaolo Donati, Gopi Shah Goda et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Economics2011

    This paper estimates the impact of income on the long-term care utilization of elderly Americans using a natural experiment that led otherwise similar retirees to receive significantly different Social Security payments based on their year of birth. Using data from the 1993 and 1995 waves of the AHEAD, we estimate instrumental variables models and find that a positive permanent income shock lowers nursing home use but increases the utilization of…

  • Mental Health and Academic Success in College

    Dan Eisenberg, Daniel Eisenberg et al.ARTICLEThe B E Journal of Economic…2009

    Mental health problems represent a potentially important but relatively unexplored factor in explaining human capital accumulation during college. We conduct the first study, to our knowledge, of how mental health predicts academic success during college in a random longitudinal sample of students. We find that depression is a significant predictor of lower GPA and higher probability of dropping out, particularly among students who also have a po…

  • Stigma and Help Seeking for Mental Health Among College Students

    Open AccessDan Eisenberg, Daniel Eisenberg et al.ARTICLEMedical Care Research and Review2009

    Mental illness stigma has been identified by national policy makers as an important barrier to help seeking for mental health. Using a random sample of 5,555 students from a diverse set of 13 universities, we conducted one of the first empirical studies of the association of help-seeking behavior with both perceived public stigma and people’s own stigmatizing attitudes (personal stigma). There were three main findings: (a) Perceived public stigma…

  • Effect of Medicare Home Health Care Payment on Informal Care

    Open AccessEzra Golberstein, David C Grabowski et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2009

    This paper assesses the effect of payment caps for Medicare home health care on the use of informal care by older adults with functional limitations. We find that individuals exposed to more restrictive payment caps offset reductions in Medicare home health care with increased informal care, although we only observe this effect for lower-income individuals. This suggests that home care payment restrictions may have increased the caregiving burden…

  • Help-Seeking and Access to Mental Health Care in a University Student Population

    Dan Eisenberg, Daniel Eisenberg et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007References: 35

    BACKGROUND: University students represent an important population in which to study access to mental health care. Understanding their unmet needs will enhance efforts to prevent and treat mental disorders during a pivotal period in life. OBJECTIVE: To quantify mental health service use and estimate how various factors are associated with help-seeking and access in a university student population. DESIGN: A Web-based survey was administered to a r…

  • Prevalence and correlates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality among university students

    Dan Eisenberg, Daniel Eisenberg et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2007

    Mental health among university students represents an important and growing public health concern for which epidemiological data are needed. A Web-based survey was administered to a random sample at a large public university with a demographic profile similar to the national student population. Depressive and anxiety disorders were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire (R. L. Spitzer, K. Kroenke, J. B. W. Williams, & the Patient Health Q…
