Validation of the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Quality-of-Life Scale (AAQoL): A Disease-Specific Quality-of-Life Measure
Depression and Other Mental Health Diagnoses After Stroke Increase Inpatient and Outpatient Medical Utilization Three Years Poststroke
OBJECTIVE: Poststroke depression (PSD) has been linked to negative outcomes, including mortality and decreased functioning. However, the effect of PSD and other mental health conditions on inpatient and outpatient healthcare utilization after stroke has not been examined. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between PSD and healthcare utilization after stroke. The secondary objective was to evaluate the relationshi…

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: Is There an Economic Burden of Illness
Objective. To quantify the economic burden associated with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) by assessing health care service use and related expenditures, work loss, role limitation, and productivity. Methods. Women ages 21 to 45, randomly selected from membership of a northern California HMO (n = 1,194), provided prospective daily symptom ratings and survey data on health care use and productivity for two menstrual cycles. Summary measures…
Sources of Stressor-Specific Negative Transactions and Depressive Symptoms Among White and African American Older Women
The effects of negative social relationships on mental health are receiving increased attention in the gerontological literature. This study examines a new stressor-specific approach to assessing negative transactions. In-person interviews with an urban, community-based sample of 221 older White and African American women and their significant others were used to develop a measure of interpersonal transactions related to 4 stress domains: persona…
Differentiating the effects of positive and negative social transactions in HIV illness
This study examines the role of positive and negative social transactions in HIV illness as influenced by depressive symptoms and alcohol comorbidities. Our model distinguishes between confidant and broader network transactions, and between overt criticism and undermining transactions. This is a sample of 121 Human Immunodeficiency Virus positive (HIV+) patients from two urban infectious disease clinics surveyed to assess the quality of both the …

Responses to nervous breakdowns in America over a 40-year period: Mental health policy implications
Measuring Patient Satisfaction for Quality Improvement
BACKGROUND: Surveys used for health plan quality reporting are generally administered annually to health plan enrollees to assess satisfaction with both the health plan and health care services. Therefore, surveys may lack sensitivity to measure the effects of patient-focused, quality improvement initiatives that could demonstrate results in a shorter time period. OBJECTIVES: We describe the development and testing of a multidimensional, visit-sp…
Cost Analysis in the Department of Veterans Affairs: Consensus and Future Directions
Consensus was reached about the hybrid model as the current paradigm for cost analysis in systems like VA
Life Circumstances and Personal Resources as Predictors of the Ten‐Year Course of Depression
A 10‐year naturalistic study of 313 patients who entered treatment for unipolar depression and a community comparison group of 284 nondepressed adults was conducted. We compared life stressors, social resources, personal resources, and coping among patients who were remitted ( N = 76), partially remitted ( N = 146), or nonremitted ( N = 91). Compared with the controls and the remitted patients, the partially remitted and nonremitted patients cons…
The Quality of Cost Data: A Caution From the Department of Veterans Affairs Experience
Many health care system, including that of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), are facing dramatic changes as they adapt to state-level reform legislation and move into managed care environments. As new costing systems are designed and as researchers seek to conduct cost-effectiveness studies to guide health policy, it is critical to examine the assumed validity of the measurement procedures on which these costing systems are based. The foun…
Determinants of Readmission Following Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment: A National Study of VA Programs
This study examines program determinants of one aspect of VA inpatient substance abuse treatment program performance. Performance was measured by the ratio of a program's readmission rate to the expected rate for programs with similar patients. Six-month readmission rates in 101 VA treatment programs were analyzed. Preliminary analyses indicated that patient differences across programs accounted for 36% of the variance in readmission rates. Progr…

The “monitoring model” and the Mortality × Treatment interaction threat to validity in mental health outcome evaluation
Symptom improvement rates among three cohorts of adult outpatients generated by a base-line monitoring model approach to outcome evaluation are presented. Follow-up questionnaire data were collected by mail. The cohorts represented approximately 40% self-selected samples from the parent populations of clients admitted for service. Efforts to interpret significant cohort improvement rate differences led to the conclusion that differences may have …
