Abstract Background Surveys of doctors are an important data collection method in health services research. Ways to improve response rates, minimise survey bias and item non-response, within a given budget, have not previously been addressed the same study. The aim this paper is compare effects costs three different modes administration national doctors. Methods A stratified random sample 4.9% (2,702/54,160) undertaking clinical practice was drawn from directory all Australia. Stratification...
While there is considerable research on medical workforce supply trends, little examining the determinants of labour decisions for workforce. The "Medicine in Australia: Balancing Employment and Life (MABEL)" study investigates participation patterns their using a longitudinal survey Australian doctors. It aims to generate evidence support developing effective policy responses issues such as shortages maldistribution. This paper describes protocol baseline cohort, including an analysis...
The objective of this paper was to develop an agent-based modeling framework in order simulate the spread influenza virus infection on a layout based representative hospital emergency department Winnipeg, Canada. In doing so, study complements mathematical techniques for disease spread, as well applications focused antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections hospitals. Twenty different scenarios were simulated, with further simulation four control strategies. approach represents systems...
OBJECTIVES: The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing. total direct costs IBD have not been assessed on a population-wide level in the era biologic therapy. DESIGN: We identified all persons with Manitoba between 2005 and 2015, each matched to 10 controls age, sex, area residence. enumerated hospitalizations, outpatient visits prescription medications including biologics, their associated costs. Total per capita annual IBD-attributable health care utilization (HCU)...
To examine nurses' and midwives' preferences for the characteristics of their jobs.A discrete choice experiment 990 nurses midwives administered as part a survey in Victoria, Australia.Autonomy, working hours, processes to deal with violence bullying were valued most highly. Nurses would be willing forgo 19% 16% annual income adequate autonomy bullying, compared poor bullying. They need paid an additional 24% increase hours by 10% ($73 per hour). Job that less important shift work, nurse...
Abstract Background Anti–tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs are highly effective in the treatment of moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), but they very costly. Due to their effectiveness, could potentially reduce future health care spending on other medical therapies, hospitalization, surgery. The impact downstream costs has not previously been quantified a real-world population-based setting. Methods We used University Manitoba IBD Database identify all...
Abstract We investigate whether regulations that ban insurance companies from access to individuals' genetic tests are likely lead substantial adverse selection costs for the specific example of so‐called breast cancer (BRCA1/2) genes. Using a data set including economic, demographic, and relevant family background information simulate market 10‐year term life insurance, we find generally only modest associated with such regulatory ban. However, groups at high risk carrying one these genes,...
The aim of this paper is to undertake a discrete choice experiment using 'blocked attribute' design. To date in the health economics literature, most experiments have used only relatively small number attributes due concerns about task complexity, non-compensatory decision rules, simplicity experimental designs, and costs surveys. This may lead omitted variable bias reduced explanatory power when been pre-selected from longer list. There be situations where it desirable include list...
This article provides a brief overview of the global health-worker shortage, which could undermine Millennium Development Goal to halt and begin reverse spread HIV/AIDS. The current situation suggests that long-term solutions shortages can only be found by addressing problem from perspective; is, eliminate through substantial investments in training retaining health workers developed developing countries, not policies do work towards solving this underlying problem, such as ones restrict migration.
Young people across the world are facing numerous challenges, with unemployment and precarious employment being substantial issues, impacting young all levels of education. For many people, pandemic exacerbated their precarity. While efforts were made to ameliorate these related challenges for information about preferences Canadian workers (YW) is limited. The aim this study was understand needs, YW in COVID-19 era beyond. Using discrete choice experiment, from Canada aged 18-29 years old...
Abstract This paper investigates whether there are differences in patient outcomes across different types of hospitals using patient‐level data on readmission and mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Hospitals grouped according to their ownership type (private, public teaching, non‐teaching) location (metropolitan, country remote country). Using collected from 130 Victorian 19 000 patients admitted a hospital first AMI between January 2001 December 2003, we consider...
Abstract Background The public-private mix of healthcare remains controversial. This paper examines physicians’ preferences for public sector work in the context dual practice, whilst accounting other differences characteristics jobs. Methods A discrete choice experiment is conducted with data from 3422 non-GP specialists Medicine Australia: Balancing Employment and Life (MABEL) panel survey physicians. Results Physicians prefer to sector, though value working very small at 0.14% their...
The COVID-19 pandemic, a global health crisis, was acutely felt in the labour market for many young workers. Importantly, precarious employment, identified as an emergent social determinant of health, may negatively affect mental and well-being To this end, we engaged with workers to understand their workplace needs challenges era hear recommendations action. Semi-structured interviews graphic recording focus group were conducted 33 aged 18-26 years old Manitoba, Canada, who had worked...
Background and purpose: Excessive adiposity is associated with cardiometabolic complications in Turner syndrome (TS) subjects. Reference data for predictive anthropometric indices of overweight/obesity metabolic (MetS) are lacking subjects TS. The purpose this study was to identify the best predictor risk a Latin-American cohort TS Patients methods: This cross-sectional correlational conducted adult (n=88) over past seven years. Anthropometric parameters, body composition biochemical...
A number of studies suggest there is an over-supply specialists and under-supply GPs in many developed countries. Previous econometric specialty choice from the US that a factors play role, including expected future earnings, educational debt, having predictable working hours. Given endogeneity issues revealed preference studies, stated-preference approach warranted. This paper presents results discrete-choice experiment completed by sample 532 junior doctors 2008 before they choose training...
