Duration of stay and rate of subsequent criminal conviction and hospitalisation for substance use among young people admitted to a short‐term residential program
Quality of life as a predictor of time to heroin relapse among male residents following release from compulsory rehabilitation centres in Vietnam
Cannabis policies in Canada: How will we know which is best
Evaluation of an Assertive Management and Integrated Care Service for Frequent Emergency Department Attenders with Substance Use Disorders: The Impact Project: Evaluating an assertive management servi…
Assertive management services can be effective in preventing hospital presentations and costs for frequent ED attenders with SUDs and improving client outcomes, representing an effective integrated health approach. The IMPACT service has since been refined and integrated into routine care across a number of hospitals in Sydney, Australia
Quantifying the societal cost of methamphetamine use to Australia
Toward a Regulatory Framework for the Legalization of Cannabis: How Do We Get to There from Here
This article discusses several issues related to the development of a regulatory system for the legalization of cannabis. We first outline a framework for considering how goods and services in general are treated from a legal and regulatory point of view. This is followed by a brief summary of the current legal treatment of cannabis in Canada and in several other countries. Next, we outline several possible motivations for government intervention…
Alternate policing strategies: Cost-effectiveness of cautioning for cannabis offences
Assessing the concordance between illicit drug laws on the books and drug law enforcement: Comparison of three states on the continuum from “decriminalised” to “punitive”
Integrated management pathways for alcohol and drug clients into treatment (impact) service reduces emergency department visits
Introduction and Aims: People with substance use disorders (SUD) are over represented among frequent attenders to Emergency Departments (ED), however there have been few attempts to systematically respond to such individuals outside of hospital settings. This presentation will report on the final results of an assertive outreach case management program (IMPACT), aimed at frequent (≥5 within the past year) attenders with SUD presenting to two majo…

The Unintended and Unexpected Impact of Downsizing: Costly Hospitals Become More Costly
OBJECTIVES: In this project we assessed the impact of 1992 budget cuts ($50 million, or approximately 7% of urban hospitals' budgets) on the relative costliness of Manitoba's hospitals. The cuts targeted the teaching hospitals, those institutions we had found to be particularly costly in a previous Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation study. RESULTS: Unexpectedly, we found that because budget cuts were smaller proportionately than the…
Adding Up Provincial Expenditures on Health Care for Manitobans: A Populis Project
OBJECTIVES: Using the POPULIS framework, this project estimated health care expenditures across the entire population of Manitoba for inpatient and outpatient hospital utilization, physician visits, mental health inpatient, and nursing home utilization. RESEARCH DESIGN: This estimated expenditure information was then used to compare per capita expenditures relative to premature mortality rates across the various areas of Manitoba. RESULTS: Consid…
A Comparative Study of the Costliness of Manitoba Hospitals
OBJECTIVES: In light of ongoing discussions about health care policy, this study offered a method of calculating costs at Manitoba hospitals that compared relative costliness of inpatient care provided in each hospital. RESEARCH DESIGN: This methodology also allowed comparisons across types of hospitals-teaching, community, major rural, intermediate and small rural, as well as northern isolated facilities. MEASURES: Data used in this project incl…
Managing Health Services: How the Population Health Information System (Populis) Works for Policymakers
OBJECTIVES: University-based researchers in Manitoba, Canada, have used administrative data routinely collected as part of the national health insurance plan to design an integrated database and population-based health information system. This information system is proving useful to policymakers for answering such questions as: Which populations need more physician services? Which need fewer? Are high-risk populations poorly served? or do they ha…
Using the Populis Framework for Interprovincial Comparisons of Expenditures on Health Care
OBJECTIVES: Motivated by Manitoba Health's desire to know how health spending in Manitoba compared with other provinces, this study is a descriptive project designed to inform the health policy process by comparing indicators of need and expenditure across Canada. RESEARCH DESIGN: Population characteristics that are known to influence the need for health care constitute the comparative data categories. FINDINGS: In terms of all five health status…
