Understanding Primary Care Physicians' Propensity to Assess Elderly Patients for Depression Using Interaction and Survey Data
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine primary care physicians' propensity to assess their elderly patients for depression using data from videotapes and patient and physician surveys. STUDY DESIGN: An observational study was informed by surveys of 389 patients and 33 physicians, and 389 videotapes of their clinical interactions. Secondary quantitative analyses used video data scored by the Assessment of Doctor-Elderly Patient Tran…
Do Elderly Medicare Recipients Contact Physicians Appropriately
The category of episodes (visit recommended) for which predisposing personal attributes figure most strongly in the treatment decision is the one for which there are no clear cultural directives to action. Implications for health education and policy are drawn from the findings

Physicians' Norms and Health Care Decisions of Elderly Medicare Recipients
Using theory and methods from cognitive anthropology, this article examines, in a two-step analysis, the degree to which health care decisions made by elderly Medicare recipients coincide with the norms of physicians. First, consensus theory (Romney et al. 1986) was used to establish that physicians specializing in geriatrics agreed which among many symptoms experienced by elderly patients should receive medical attention. By asking 22 physicians…
Introduction
When Medical Group and HMO Part Company
Medicare beneficiaries who enroll in "risk contract" Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are covered for services only if they are provided or approved by the HMO. Thus, their enrollment decisions involve selecting a health care delivery system and may be influenced by whether the HMO has contracts with particular providers. Disenrollment decisions, in turn, may be influenced by breaks in contracts between the HMO and its medical groups. This…
Illness Episodes, Physician Visits, and Depressive Symptoms
Although there is a large literature examining the effects of distress on the demand for medical care, the data on which this literature is based are equivocal. Nonetheless, this literature is cited frequently by those who advocate a national mental health policy designed to produce a cost-effective "medical offset effect." In this study, longitudinal data on illness episodes, physician visits, and depressive symptoms were collected from 940 Medi…
Care Seeking for Musculoskeletal and Respiratory Episodes in a Medicare Population
Responses to episodes of musculoskeletal illness, musculoskeletal injury, and respiratory illness are examined separately. Data are from a 1-year longitudinal study of the illness experiences of 885 Medicare recipients. Unlike studies examining aggregate use of medical services, this study examines both episodes for which medical care was sought and episodes for which no medical care was sought. Both factors associated with the decision to seek m…
Psychological Distress and the Decision to Seek Medical Care Among a Medicare Population
Although there have been a number of studies linking psychological distress to the demand for medical care, few studies have examined this relationship among the aged. The issue is important, however, partly because it has been suggested that distress might cause some individuals to seek unneeded medical care. The financial impact of the aged seeking unneeded care on Medicare is, thus, a matter of public concern. This study presents results from …
