Impact of County-level health infrastructure on participation in a reform effort to reduce the use of jail for individuals with mental health disorders
Increasing California Children's Medicaid-Financed Mental Health Treatment by Vigorously Implementing Medicaid's Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program
BACKGROUND: Children living in poverty-especially children living in rural areas and in areas lacking a commitment to providing mental health care-have considerable unmet need for mental health treatment. Expansion of Medicaid's Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program might help to address this problem. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a legally compelled expansion of mental health screening, treatment, and financing unde…
A cure for crime
Youth crime is a serious social problem, as is the high proportion of young offenders in the juvenile justice system who have mental disorders. A recent policy innovation applies the theory of therapeutic jurisprudence and diverts youth with mental disorders to treatment in lieu of further court processing. The expansion of mental health diversion programs reflects an increasingly popular view that there is a causal relationship between youth men…
Medicaid Insurance Policy for Youths Involved in the Criminal Justice System
Juvenile justice and Medicaid agencies share an interest in serving delinquent youths, many of whom have a relatively poor health status. However, many state and local Medicaid policies result in these youths having no insurance coverage, making access to needed services difficult. A nationally representative survey of state and community juvenile justice and Medicaid agencies was conducted to assess Medicaid policies. Evidence from the survey su…
New Opportunities for Integrated Child Health Systems
Experts support integrated health systems for children to stimulate risk reduction and to promote child health.1 In 1998, California counties were required to develop integrated child service systems as part of tobacco surtax funds contained in Proposition 10, the Children and Families First Act. Counties have looked to the “Pre-to-Three” program started in 1996 in San Mateo County, Calif, as a potential model. Pre-to-Three was designed to promot…
Minority Youth in Foster Care
BACKGROUND: Public sector mental health treatment has been transformed in recent years by the advent of managed care, but investigators of managed care policy have not yet focused on ethnic minority children, especially those involved with the child welfare system. Because of an overrepresentation of high-need minority children, foster care in particular is important to consider. OBJECTIVES: The present study examined children placed in foster ca…
Public and Private Responsibilities
In the late 1980s, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany had roughly the same system of financing and delivering long-term care. In contrast to the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany enacted radical reform. The United Kingdom converted an open-ended, means-tested national entitlement for institutional care to a block grant to local governments, whereas Germany enacted a nationally uniform, non-means-tested social insurance…
