Abstract A number of recent studies suggest that income and social inequality (as opposed to poverty itself) have detrimental consequences on people's health. These argue while the poor may suffer most from inequality, rich also suffer. On closer inspection, however, it emerges basic arguments evidence has a causal effect health are wanting in many respects.
Several recent studies have made the provocative claim that income inequality is an important determinant of population health. The primary evidence for this hypothesis repeated finding--across countries and across U.S. states--that there association between aggregate health outcomes. However, most these examine only a single cross section data employ few (or even no) control variables. We relationship outcomes thirty over four-decade span forty-eight states five decades. In large part, our...
Several recent studies have identified an association between income inequality and aggregate health outcomes; this has been taken to be evidence that is detrimental individual health. We use data from the 1995-99 March Current Population Survey examine effect of on status for both general population those individuals in poverty. find no consistent status. Our results contradict claims psychosocial effects dramatic consequences outcomes.

To incentivize hospitals to provide better quality care at a lower cost, the Affordable Care Act of 2010 included Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP), which reduces payments with excess 30-day readmissions for Medicare patients treated certain conditions. We use triple difference estimation identify HRRP's effects in Virginia hospitals; this method estimates changes readmission over time between targeted by policy and comparison group then compares those difference-in-differences...

Importance Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) are private managed care plans designed to promote Medicare and Medicaid integration for full-benefit, dually eligible beneficiaries. Currently, the highest level of D-SNP occurs in with exclusively aligned enrollment (EAE). Objective To compare patient experience care, out-of-pocket spending, satisfaction among enrolled beneficiaries D-SNPs EAE, those without traditional Medicare. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study...
Because personal care and other home community-based services (HCBS) are vulnerable to waste, fraud, abuse, state Medicaid programs use prior authorization (PA) improve program integrity [1]. However, little is known about beneficiaries' experiences with PA for HCBS, even though physicians consumers associate in general delayed/denied [2, 3]. We surveyed Virginia beneficiaries examine the timeliness of approval in-home services. Administrative data suggest that only 3.9% HCBS PAs were denied...
Abstract Previous studies have shown that adolescent religious participation is negatively associated with risky health behaviors such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and illicit drug use. One explanation for these findings religion directly reduces because churches provide youths moral guidance or strong social networks reinforce norms. An alternative both are driven by some common unobserved individual trait. We use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health...

To determine whether multiple computer use behaviours can distinguish between cognitively healthy older adults and those in the early stages of cognitive decline, to investigate these are associated with functional ability.Older impairment (n = 20) controls 24) completed assessments abilities a series semi-directed tasks. Computer were captured passively using bespoke software.The profile was significantly different impaired compared control participants including more frequent pauses,...
: Standard-of-care treatment for haemophilia A or B is to maintain adequate coagulation factor levels through clotting administration. The current study aimed evaluate annualised bleeding rates (ABR) and adherence patients receiving standard half-life (SHL) vs. extended (EHL) replacement products.

For many low-income Medicare beneficiaries, Medicaid provides important supplemental insurance that covers out-of-pocket costs and additional benefits. We examine whether participation by adults age 65 up increased as a result of expansions to working-age under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Previous literature documents so-called "welcome mat" effects in other populations but has not explicitly studied older persons dually eligible for Medicaid. extend this estimating models among using...
