Purposeful Sampling for Qualitative Data Collection and Analysis in Mixed Method Implementation Research
A 12-Week Weight Reduction Intervention for Overweight Individuals Taking Antipsychotic Medications
Drinking patterns, gender and health I: Attitudes and health practices
Drinking status is independently related to physical health, mental health, and vitality, even after controlling for the health-related attitudes, values, and practices expected to confound these relationships. Among current drinkers, women who engage in very frequent heavy drinking have worse physical and mental health than their male counterparts
Drinking patterns, gender and health III: Avoiding versus seeking health care
Although models included numerous health, functional status, attitudinal and behavioral predictors, variance explained was similar to previous reports, suggesting more complex relationships than expected. Qualitative analyses suggest several potential predictive factors not typically measured in service-use studies: embarrassment and shame, fear, faith that the body will heal, expectations about likelihood of becoming seriously ill, disliking the…
Drinking patterns, gender and health II: Predictors of preventive service use
When factors associated with drinking are controlled, patterns of alcohol consumption have limited effects on preventive service use. Individuals with stigmatized behaviors (e.g., hazardous/harmful drinking, smoking, or high BMIs) are less likely to receive care. Making care experiences positive and carefully addressing stigmatized health practices could increase preventive service use
Another breed of “service” animals: STARS study findings about pet ownership and recovery from serious mental illness
This study elucidates the role of pets in recovery processes among adults with serious mental illness. Data derive from interviews with 177 HMO members with serious mental illness (52.2% women, average age 48.8 years) in the Study of Transitions and Recovery Strategies (STARS). Interviews and questionnaires addressed factors affecting recovery processes and included questions about pet ownership. Data were analyzed using a modified grounded theor…
Substance abuse treatment entry, retention, and outcome in women: A review of the literature
Substance Abuse Treatment Duration for Medicaid Versus Commercial Clients in a Health Maintenance Organization
BACKGROUND: As Medicaid clients have come to be enrolled in managed care, concerns have arisen about the ability of private sector systems to meet the needs of enrollees with substance abuse problems. OBJECTIVES: This project describes treatment initiation and duration for Medicaid and commercial substance abuse treatment clients in a large health maintenance organization (HMO). RESEARCH DESIGN: This study was a prospective secondary analysis of …
Fostering Recovery from Life-transforming Mental Health Disorders: A Synthesis and Model
Being in a Funk: Teens' Efforts to Understand Their Depressive Experiences
Although there is literature about adults' experiences of depression, little research has focused on teenagers' experiences. In this article, the authors describe how a sample of adolescents makes sense of depression and responds to a depression diagnosis. Twenty-two adolescents participated in in-depth individual or focus group interviews. Teens discussed their experiences with depression and getting health care for depression, and described a t…
Community-Based Care and Risk of Nursing Home Placement
OBJECTIVE: To test the substitution hypothesis, that community-based care reduces the probability of institutional placement for at-risk elderly. RESEARCH DESIGN: The closure of the Social Health Maintenance Organization (Social HMO) at HealthPartners (HP) in Minnesota in 1994 and the continuation of the Social HMO at Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) in Oregon/Washington comprised a "natural experiment." Using multinomial logistic regression an…
Effects of Hearing Impairment on Use of Health Services Among the Elderly
Further research should explore whether underutilization of services exists, and, if so, whether it stems from clinician or patient attitudes about the seriousness of hearing impairment, from a paucity of available treatment strategies, or from some combination of these and other factors
