A Descriptive Analysis of Two Mobile Crisis Programs for Clients with Severe Mental Illness
Gender and outpatient mental health service use
Methodological Challenges in Evaluating Mobile Crisis Psychiatric Programs
Mobile crisis psychiatric programs (MCPPs) are innovative community interventions that have gained acceptance in the health, social, and political environments. In Canada they are becoming widely implemented, and the need to evaluate them is pressing. Unfortunately, there has been very little formal evaluation of them and virtually no data on their effectiveness. Part of the reason for this deficiency may be the methodological challenges inherent…
Cross-cultural Comparisons of Health Status in Canada Using the Health Utilities Index
Although the healthy immigrant effect is probably responsible for some of the variation in health status among cultural groups in Canada, considerable differences exist within the immigrant and Canadian-born populations. Cultural factors may have a substantial effect on the reporting of pain and mental health problems. Further studies are needed to determine the cross-cultural validity of the HUI
Can the Health Utilities Index Measure Change
BACKGROUND: The Health Utilities Index (HUI) is a multidimensional, preference-weighted measure of health status. It comprises eight health attributes, aggregated into a single utility score. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study was to investigate the ability of the HUI to detect changes in health status in a general population cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN: Health status changes were analyzed in the full cohort and in persons who were diagnosed with c…
Determining the Need for Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: The Role of Clinical Severity and Patients??? Preferences
BACKGROUND: Area variation in the use of surgical interventions such as arthroplasty is viewed as concerning and inappropriate. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether area arthroplasty rates reflect patient-related demand factors, we estimated the need for and the willingness to undergo arthroplasty in a high- and a low-use area of Ontario, Canada. RESEARCH DESIGN: Population-based mail and telephone survey. SUBJECTS: All adults aged > or =55 years in …

Psychiatric Morbidity and Physician Visits: Lessons From Ontario
OBJECTIVES: The authors examine the association between psychiatric morbidity and visits to general practitioners and family practitioners in Ontario, Canada. METHODS: A nested set of hypotheses were posed to account for different levels of use among persons with differing levels of psychiatric morbidity. The sample of 8,116 is drawn from a comprehensive household survey of physical and mental health that included the UM-CIDI standardized diagnos…
Utilization of health care services by immigrants and other ethnic/cultural groups in Ontario
We conclude that while immigrants and other ethnic/cultural groups in Ontario usually had equal access to regular services (e.g., visits to general practitioner's office), they often had lower utilization of hospital emergency departments. However, general purpose surveys have limited utility in assessing reasons of health care utilization amongst different ethnic/cultural groups
Determinants of Primary Medical Practice in Adult Cancer Prevention
The authors conducted a study of primary care physicians in the province of Quebec to ascertain their patterns of preventive practice with respect to cancer in four anatomic sites: breast, cervix, colon-rectum, and lung. They further explored the data set to elicit the determinants of the patterns of preventive practice. Scales were constructed encompassing practice behaviors for each type of cancer, continuing education intensity, knowledge, and…
