Impact of the Affordable Care Act on Prescription Contraceptive Use and Costs Among Privately Insured Women, 2006–2020
Nursing Students' Knowledge, Personality Traits, and Self-Efficacy Related to Medication Administration Error
Background: Nursing education influences medication administration practices, which involve clinical decision making and risk perceptions. Method: This mixed-methods concurrent nested study explored the relationship among knowledge, personality traits, and self-efficacy related to medication administration error in fourth-year, prelicen-sure nursing students ( n = 60) who were recruited from three campuses of a large university. Results: Results …

Association of Provider Specialty With Abortion-Related Morbidity and Adverse Events Among Patients Having Procedural and Medication Abortions
Trends in Costs of Birth Hospitalization and Readmissions for Late Preterm Infants
Background: The objective is to study previously unexplored trends of birth hospitalization and readmission costs for late preterm infants (LPIs) in the United States between 2005 and 2016. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of claims data to study healthcare costs of birth hospitalization and readmissions for LPIs compared to term infants (TIs) using a large private insurance database. We used a generalized linear regression model to…

Temporal Association of Certain Neuropsychiatric Disorders Following Vaccination of Children and Adolescents
This pilot epidemiologic analysis implies that the onset of some neuropsychiatric disorders may be temporally related to prior vaccinations in a subset of individuals. These findings warrant further investigation, but do not prove a causal role of antecedent infections or vaccinations in the pathoetiology of these conditions. Given the modest magnitude of these findings in contrast to the clear public health benefits of the timely administration …
The Effects of Medicaid Home and Community-based Services Waivers on Unmet Needs Among Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
BACKGROUND: Several states have passed Medicaid Home and Community-based Services (HCBS) waivers that expand eligibility criteria and available services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous research has shown considerable variation in these waivers, but little is known about the extent to which they address the health care needs of children with ASD. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of Medicaid HCBS waivers, and their cha…

The Early Growth and Development Study
The Early Growth and Development Study (EGDS) is a prospective adoption design consisting of 360 linked sets of birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted children followed from 3 months postpartum through child age 7 years, and an additional 200 linked sets for whom recruitment is underway. The EGDS brings together the study of genotype-environment correlation (rGE) and Genotype x Environment (GxE) interaction to inform intervention developmen…
Impact of Medical Comorbidity on the Quality of Schizophrenia Pharmacotherapy in a National VA Sample
BACKGROUND: More than half of patients with schizophrenia have comorbid chronic medical illness. During the past decade, several studies have evaluated the quality of the medical treatment of these conditions. This work examines the impact of comorbid medical conditions on the quality of schizophrenia pharmacotherapy in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). METHODS: Data for this study came from national VA administrative databases. All VA out…
Measuring Quality of Pharmacotherapy for Depression in a National Health Care System
OBJECTIVES: This article examines the use of antidepressant medication in the treatment of major depression in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) during the 2001 fiscal year and considers the relationship of patient, drug, provider, and facility to adherence to medication treatment guidelines. METHODS: Prescription drug records for all VA outpatients diagnosed with major depression (International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition, code…
From Clinical Trials to Real-World Practice
BACKGROUND: Although clinical trials evaluate pharmacotherapeutic interventions under highly controlled conditions, there remains a need to evaluate medication use in actual practice. METHODS: Patients prescribed atypical antipsychotic medications in the VA system during a 4-month period in 1999 (n = 73,981) were classified into 32 groups on the basis of clinical diagnosis and recent level of inpatient use. Variation was examined across groups in…
Use of Pharmacy Data to Assess Quality of Pharmacotherapy for Schizophrenia in a National Health Care System
OBJECTIVES: This paper presents a profile of the use of antipsychotic medications in the treatment of schizophrenia in a national health system. METHODS: Prescription drug records written for antipsychotic medications between June 1999 and September 1999 were collected for patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). Indicators were constructed describing whether patients received multiple antipsychotic medicat…
Effectiveness of a Targeted Mailing Outreach Program on SSI Applications and Awards
We conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a targeted mail outreach program on the volume of applications and subsequent awards for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). We targeted mailings to a random sample of current Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) beneficiaries. The sample consisted of RSDI recipients (1) who were disabled or 65 years old or older, (2) whose benefit amount was under the SSI i…
Changes in Inpatient Mental Health Utilization and Costs in a Privately Insured Population, 1993 to 1995
BACKGROUND: Concerns over rising health care costs have led to pressure on health care providers to reduce inpatient costs. METHODS: Inpatient claims data were analyzed for adult users of mental health services (n = 45,579) from a national sample of over 3.8 million privately insured individuals between 1993 and 1995 from the MarketScan database. Costs and annual hospital days per treated patient were compared across diagnostic groups and plan ty…
