Justice System Involvement Into Young Adulthood: Comparison of Adolescent Girls in the Public Mental Health System and in the General Population
We compared arrest onset and frequency and types of charges between a statewide cohort of adolescent girls in the public mental health system and girls of the same age in the general population to investigate important differences that could have policy or intervention implications. Girls in the public mental health system were arrested at earlier ages more frequently and were charged with more serious offenses than were girls in the general popu…
Antidepressant Adequacy and Work Status Among Medicaid Enrollees with Disabilities: A Restriction-based, Propensity Score-adjusted Analysis
The impact of overtime and long work hours on occupational injuries and illnesses: New evidence from the United States
Aims: To analyse the impact of overtime and extended working hours on the risk of occupational injuries and illnesses among a nationally representative sample of working adults from the United States. Methods: Responses from 10 793 Americans participating in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) were used to evaluate workers’ job histories, work schedules, and occurrence of occupational injury and illness between 1987 and 2000. A total…
Long-Term Effects of Outpatient Geriatric Evaluation and Management on Health Care Utilization, Cost, and Survival
Purpose: The long-term effectiveness and efficiency of an outpatient geriatric evaluation and management (GEM) program was compared to usual primary care (UPC). Design and Method: A randomized controlled group design was used. Health care utilization, cost of care, and survival were assessed during a 48-month period among a sample of 160 male veterans age 55 and over who were above-average users of outpatient services. Results: The results indica…
Increasing the Use of Formal Services by Caregivers of People with Dementia
This study evaluated the impact of an information and referral intervention designed to help family caregivers of people with dementia obtain needed health and human services. Caregivers (N = 608) of community-residing people with dementia were surveyed about their need for and use of community services. Of the 608 caregivers, 203 agreed to be referred to a staff member of an Alzheimer's Association chapter to get help finding needed health and c…

An empirical model of therapeutic process for psychiatric emergency room clients with dual disorders
Many individuals with dual disorders of mental illness and substance abuse enter the mental health system through psychiatric emergency rooms (PERs), but may resist treatment and not follow through with referrals to services. This study examined the impact of therapeutic process on referral outcome. Raters used the Vanderbilt Psychotherapeutic Process Scales and Working Alliance Inventory to evaluate audiotapes and transcripts of 39 PER sessions.…
Rethinking Risk Assessment: The MacArthur Study of Mental Disorder and Violence
The presumed link between mental disorder and violence has been the driving force behind mental health law and policy for centuries. Legislatures, courts, and the public have come to expect that mental health professionals will protect them from violent acts by persons with mental disorders. Yet for three decades research has shown that clinicians’ unaided assessments of “dangerousness” are barely better than chance. Rethinking Risk Assessment: T…
A classification tree approach to the development of actuarial violence risk assessment tools
Since the 1970s, a wide body of research has suggested that the accuracy of clinical risk assessments of violence might be increased if clinicians used actuarial tools. Despite considerable progress in recent years in the development of such tools for violence risk assessment, they remain primarily research instruments, largely ignored in daily clinical practice. We argue that because most existing actuarial tools are based on a main effects regr…
The use of state and general hospitals for inpatient psychiatric care
OBJECTIVES: This paper explores the relationship of state hospital and general hospital psychiatric caseloads in a statewide system of care. METHODS: Probabilistic population estimation was applied to general hospital and state hospital data sets. RESULTS: General hospitals provide inpatient psychiatric services to more people than do state hospitals, and a significant number are served in both sectors. There were notable differences in use patte…
Medicaid Participation Among Urban Primary Care Physicians
OBJECTIVES: This article describes Medicaid participation among office-based primary care physicians in cities and examines its determinants. METHODS: Data used in this study were collected through the 1993 and 1994 American Medical Association Socioeconomic Monitoring System telephone surveys. The sample includes 1,300 primary care physicians. Our multivariate model includes a variety of personal, practice, community, and policy factors thought …
The Impact of a Spouse-Caregiver Support Group on Care Recipient Health Care Costs
Frail elderly veterans who received care at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center and whose spouse-caregivers participated in support groups to which they had been randomly assigned had lower health care costs over a 1-year period than did control participants. The greatest impact was observed for participants perceived by their spouse-caregivers to be in the poorest health. What is important to consider about this result in terms of he…
