Heritability of SF-36 Among Middle-Age, Middle-Class, Male???Male Twins
OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors for the MOS SF-36; a widely used, valid, and reliable measure of health-related quality of life and to discuss incorporating genetic influences into health services research. DATA SOURCES: Data are from a nationally distributed, nonclinical cohort of 2928 middle age, middle-class, male-male twin members of the Vietnam Era Twin Registry. STUDY DESIGN: This…
Does the Implementation of Responsibility Centers, Total Quality Management, and Physician Fee Programs Improve Hospital Efficiency
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates whether the implementation of various types of hospital-physician integration strategies, such as the responsibility centers system, total quality management, and physician fee programs, enhance efficiency for Taiwan hospitals. Because hospitals in Taiwan are structurally similar to staff-model HMOs, the study has implications beyond Taiwan. RESEARCH DESIGN: The Data Envelopment Analysis model is applied to measur…

The Effects of Monitoring and Feedback on Compliance
A two-group randomized experimental design was employed to assess the effects of monitoring and feedback on the compliance of 93 psychiatric outpatients treated with lithium. Compliance in both groups was measured using self-report, lithium level, appointment-keeping, and medication refill frequency. The experimental group was also monitored using a unique electronic device that records the time and day pills are removed. At the midpoint of the s…
Caregiver Strain
This article attempts to broaden the conceptual perspective of caregiver strain by developing a generalized perspective that focuses on the demands and resources of caregiving. By extension, the perspective links caregiver strain to a typology relating caregiver strain and institutionalization. The result is intended to be a new and useful conceptualization for identifying factors that differentiate sources of caregiver strain and their consequen…
Practice Pattern Variation Between Two Medical Schools
This study examined physician test-ordering behavior at a large urban Veterans Administration Medical Center staffed by two medical schools. Patients are assigned randomly to the two schools' wards, which operate independently of each other. The medical records of 119 patients, admitted during a 5-month period, were abstracted for data on the process and outcomes of medical care. Only one statistically significant difference in diagnostic testing…
Female Veteransʼ Use of Health Care Services
The number of female veterans has more than doubled in the last 15 years, and this growth is expected to continue. This study examines the current utilization of both overall and Veterans Administration (VA) health care services by female veterans. Current utilization is studied as a set of contact decisions: whether or not to utilize any inpatient, VA inpatient, any outpatient, and VA outpatient services. Probit regression is used to estimate th…
Older Veterans?? Future Use of VA Health Care Services
This study is a secondary analysis of the Harris Survey of Aging Veterans (SAV) and is designed to identify variables that may be associated with older veterans' future use of the Veterans Administration (VA) health care system. Using regression and discriminant analysis techniques, the study identifies variables that may predispose older veterans to use the VA health care system in the next 10 years. The results indicate that older veterans may …
Alienation as a consequence of disability
This study is an empirical examination of the commonly held argument that physical disability produces alienation from society. Levels of subjectively measured alienation were compared between a sample of unimpaired individuals and a sample of severely impaired workers'compensation recipients in the United States. Based on background characteristics and regression equation predictions, the findings indicate that five years after a severe work-rel…
Cross Cultural Differences on the Facts on Ageing Quiz
This report, using the ‘Facts on Ageing Quiz’ developed by Erdman Palmore as a measure, compares responses from US (N=206) and Japan (N=591) samples, thus adding a cross cultural dimension to the literature on age bias measurement. The scale taps for ‘facts’ and indirectly obtains evaluations of stereotypes and attitudes. The data indicate the FAQ is a reliable measure but the validity of the measure's age bias dimension is more complex than prev…
Willingness to Assist One's Elderly Parents
Family Supports for the Aged
This report is part of a larger study on the role of economic and social supports to families in order to make it possible for them to provide creative living arrangements for elderly relatives and themselves. American and Japanese samples are compared on their willingness to provide care for their elderly relatives. Responses indicate there are few differences in willingness between samples. Willingness is equally high, over 80% in both societie…
