We used logistic regression to model each participant's risk of incarceration or homelessness after we controlled for known risk factors. Results. Of 435 participants, 12% reported recent homelessness (within the past month), and 55% reported lifetime homelessness. Recent and lifetime incarceration rates were…
Unforeseen Inpatient Mortality Among Veterans With Schizophrenia
BACKGROUND: Patients with schizophrenia have co-occurring medical conditions, like other patients, but may lack the capacity to provide good self-care or to work with their providers to ensure appropriate medical treatment. We hypothesized that death among patients with schizophrenia occurs more frequently after minimal care of comorbid conditions. METHODS: All patients who died in veterans affairs (VA) hospitals during FY02 were categorized as t…
When is Caregiving a Burden? Listening to Mexican American Women
Home care of a chronically mentally ill relative exerts substantial physical and emotional demands on a family member. Yet, little work has examined the perspective about caregiving voiced by individuals from different ethnic groups and the comparison of this perspective with objective measures of caregiver burden. This article reviews findings from a study of 251 Mexican American and European American family caregivers of severely mentally ill r…
Ethnicity and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia
The purpose of this study was to assess ethnic differences in the negative symptom profile of 25 Anglo American and 26 Mexican American subjects with schizophrenia. Subjects were rated at the end of a 1-2-week medication washout period (time 1) and at discharge (time 2) with the Negative Symptoms Assessment (NSA), Brief Psychiatric Research Scale, (BPRS), the [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition)] DSM-IV negative fa…
The wages of neglect: Death and disease in the American workplace
Black lung, only recently recognised in the US as an occupational disease in coal miners, has taken a toll of something like 200, 000 lives in death and disablement. Other occupational diseases affect high proportions of the work force but only 10% of job related disorders are recorded by the government. A plea is made for more protection in the workplace and for adequate compensation for injured and disabled workers
