Understanding how education/support groups help lone mothers
The qualitative data revealed mothers' perceptions of specific areas that improved by participating in the group. The utility of complementary information provided by qualitative and quantitative methods in understanding program impact, as well as the need for broader assistance is noted
The cost of poor adjustment to chronic illness
This paper summarizes information about expenditures for people with chronic illness as a function of their psychosocial adjustment to illness. Three studies are discussed: two prospective baseline surveys and one historic cohort analytic study. Each was conducted between 1988 and 1993 in Southern Ontario, Canada in tertiary centres which were treating patients recently referred to a specialty medical clinic for one of 13 types of chronic physica…
Effective/efficient mental health programs for school-age children

The model tests the assumption that service utilization across the whole system is driven by a complex mix of psychosocial factors, rather than disease characteristics, of the population and, second, that proactive, integrated and communitybased packages of care are equally or more effective and less expensive than f…

Psychometric properties of the FAD have been previously determined, but no independent assessment has been made of the GF subscale, which was used to measure family functioning in the Ontario Child Health Study (OCHS). Reliability was measured by Chronbach's alpha and split‐half correlation. Validity was a…
