The Changing Character of the Black–White Infant Mortality Gap, 1983–2004
Objectives. We examined how changes in demographic, geographic, and childbearing risk factors were related to changes in the Black–White infant mortality rate (IMR) gap over 2 decades. Methods. Using 1983–2004 Vital Statistics, we applied inverse probability weighting methods to examine the relationship between risk factors and 3 outcomes: the overall IMR gap, its birth weight component, and its conditional (on birth weight) IMR component. Result…
Exploration of DSM-IV Criteria in Primary Care Patients With Medically Unexplained Symptoms
Objectives: Investigators and clinicians almost always rely on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, 4th edition’s (DSM-IV) somatoform disorders (and its derivative diagnoses) to characterize and identify patients with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). Our objective was to evaluate this use by determining the prevalence of DSM-IV somatoform and nonsomatoform disorders in patients with MUS proven by a gold standard chart review…
Screening for High Utilizing Somatizing Patients Using a Prediction Rule Derived From the Management Information System of an HMO
BACKGROUND: Somatization is a common, costly problem with great morbidity, but there has been no effective screening method to identify these patients and target them for treatment. OBJECTIVES: We tested a hypothesis that we could identify high utilizing somatizing patients from a management information system (MIS) by total number of visits and what we termed "somatization potential," the percentage of visits for which ICD-9 primary diagnosis co…
Conversion from nonprofit to for‐profit legal status
The conversion of a nonprofit firm to the for-profit form is commercialism carried to an extreme. Conversion is increasingly common, most notably in health care. We seek to advance understanding of why nonprofit conversions occur and what public policy should be toward them. A transfer of control—the essence of a conversion—over nonprofit assets can be accomplished in various ways. Thus, it would be a public policy mistake to focus narrowly on fo…

Compensating Differentials and Self-Selection
This paper models individual choice between two types of jobs as dependent on the difference i n potential earnings and on preferences for nonpecuniary compensation. The model leads to simultaneous estimation of earnings and job choice functions in a manner that takes account of self-selection of individuals into the sector of highest utility. An application to lawyers choosing between private and "public-interest" law casts doubt on the notion t…
Benefit-Cost Analysis of Screening
This article develops a framework for benefit-cost analysis of screening tests and applies it to compare tests for gonorrhea in asymptomatic women. Some analytic results on the dependence of net benefits on the values of various parameters are derived. A benefit-cost analysis is then performed to compare the modified Thayer-Martin culture technique and the Gonozyme immunoassay with each other and with a no screening alternative. Analysis of the s…
