Effects of Losing SSI Benefits on Standard Drug and Alcohol Outcome Measures
P.L. 104–121 eliminated drug addiction and alcoholism (DA&A) as an impairment category for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), allowing a six-month period for DA&A recipients to request an eligibility redetermination, and terminating all SSI DA&A benefits on January 1, 1997, In a multi-site cohort study of persons affected by this change, participants were interviewed prior to the benefits termination date and reinterviewed over a two-year follow…
Medical and Mental Health Services Utilization among Requalified and Former Drug Addiction and Alcoholism Recipients of SSI
This article examines the impact of the elimination of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) drug addiction and alcoholism (DA&A) disability category–-and the consequent loss of Medicaid benefits by most of those terminated from SSI–-on the medical and mental health services utilization of affected individuals. Data are from a two-year, five-wave panel study of a random sample of 1,764 former DA&A recipients in nine sites. Respondents were group…
Varieties of Centralized Intake
To assess the possible influence of centralized intake on client outcomes, initial, six- and twelve-month Addiction Severity Index composite scores (in the alcohol, drug, legal and psychiatric areas) for clients who experienced provider intake were compared with scores for those going through two different models of centralized intake. Centralized intake clients were more likely than provider intake clients to have legal problems, and those legal…
Treatment Preparation in the Context of System Coordination Serves Inmates Well
A large percentage of jail inmates suffer from substance abuse problems; however, providing treatment in jail is difficult. Multnomah County's In Jail Intervention Program (IJIP) demonstrated an effective alternative. Finigan, Barron, and Carey (In press) and Barron and Finigan (1999) demonstrated that inmates with substance use problems, especially women, participating in IJIP experienced fewer rearrests and reincarcerations. To address the ques…

Reconstruction in the Analysis of Verbal Interaction
Certain analytic techniques devised for the analysis of verbal behavior claim to reflect the density of semantic information in a communicative event. These techniques usually involve some form of content analysis and are applicable to classroom verbal interaction studies. Unfortunately, most studies of classroom interaction do not meet the standards of content analysis. In content analysis, words uttered by participants are assigned by the analy…
Sex-Typed Language
Sex role influences a diverse range of social behaviors. Since language behavior is central to social interaction, sex role was expected to influence language behavior. Since members of the two sexes experience varying biosocial realities, and since language is a system of communication about realities, language behavior of men and women was expected to differ. Case refers to a system of deep structure constructs which define the relational meani…
