We investigate a health care market with uncertainty in a mixed duopoly, where a partially privatized public hospital competes
against a private hospital in terms of quality choice. We use a simple Hotelling-type spatial competition model by incorporating
mean–variance analysis and the framework of partial privatization. We show how the variance in the quality perceived by patients
affects the true quality of medical care provided by hospitals. In addition, we show that a case exists in which the quality
of the partially privatized hospital becomes higher than that of the private hospital when the patient’s preference for quality
is relatively high.

Transitioning to adulthood is challenging for young people who have a mental illness or substance use disorder, especially
those who are transitioning from institutional care. For young people with serious mental illnesses to succeed in the adult
world, they need more than treatment.These youth need to be truly integrated into their communities. They need jobs that offer
skills, dignity, independence, and peers. They need a responsible and caring older adult who can help them to make better
choices, learn from their mistakes, and applaud their successes, no matter how small. Community providers can create these
opportunities through their own programs or appropriate community collaborations.

Three experiments supported the idea that alcohol fosters sexual risk-taking in men and women, in part, through its effects
on sexual arousal. In Experiment 1, increasing alcohol dosage (target blood alcohol levels of .00, .04, .08%) heightened men’s
and women’s risk-taking intentions. Alcohol’s effect was indirect via increased subjective sexual arousal; also, men exhibited
greater risk-taking than women. In Experiment 2, an extended dosage range (target blood alcohol levels of .00, .06, .08, .10%)
heightened men’s risk-taking intentions. Alcohol’s effect again was indirect via subjective arousal. Physiological sexual
arousal, which was unaffected by alcohol, increased risk-taking via increased subjective arousal. In Experiment 3, alcohol
increased women’s risk-taking indirectly via subjective arousal, but alcohol-attenuated physiological arousal had no effect
on risk-taking. Implications for alcohol myopia theory and prevention interventions are discussed.

This article estimates the societal cost of alcohol consumption in Sweden in 2002, as well as the effects on health and quality
of life. The estimation includes direct costs, indirect costs and intangible costs. Relevant cost-of-illness methods are applied
using the human capital method and prevalence-based estimates, as suggested in existing international guidelines, allowing
cautious comparison with prior studies. The results show that the net cost (i.e. including protective effects of alcohol consumption)
is 20.3 billion Swedish kronor (SEK) and the gross cost (counting only detrimental effects) is 29.4 billon (0.9 and 1.3% of
GDP). Alcohol consumption is estimated to cause a net loss of 121,800 QALYs. The results are within the range found in prior
studies, although at the low end. A large number of sensitivity analyses are performed, indicating a sensitivity range of
50%.

We estimate a Logit model for the choice determinants of the mobility in the Dutch market for health insurance in 2006. The
results highlight that socio-economic, geographical, and health-related factors matter in the decision to switch health care
insurer. Moreover, previous contact with the insurer and the former type of health policy are also of influence.

The Australian government implemented a series of private health insurance (PHI) policy reforms between 1997 and 2000. As
a result, the proportion of the population with PHI coverage increased by more than 35%. However, this study found significant
evidence that the policy reform disproportionately favours high-income earners. In particular, the 30% premium subsidy represents
a windfall gain for households which would have purchased PHI even without the rebate. The amount of such gain is estimated
to be around $900 million per year, a large proportion of which went to higher income households.

One way of evaluating health is in terms of its impact on well-being. It has been shown, however, that evaluating health this
way runs into difficulties, since health and other aspects of well-being are not separable. At the same time, the practical
implications of the inseparability problem remain unclear. This paper assesses these implications by considering the relations
between theories, components, and indicators of well-being.

Recently the Portuguese Government announced the launching of public–private partnerships (PPPs) to build hospitals with the
distinctive feature that infrastructure construction and clinical activities management will be awarded to separate private
parties. Also, one of the parties will be in charge of providing soft facilities. We explore alternative configurations of
contracts and assess whether the equilibrium allocations attain the first-best solution.

Update of WHO air quality guidelines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Based on a systematic review of literature on adverse health effects of air pollution, the World Health Organization has updated
its Air Quality Guidelines in 2005. The current update is intended to be relevant and applicable worldwide and takes into
consideration large regional inequalities in exposures to air pollution. It recommends guideline levels for particulate matter,
ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, as well as the set of interim targets for these pollutants’ concentrations, encouraging
gradual improvement of air quality and reduction of health impacts of the pollution.

The diffusion of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to child-serving human service organizations often occurs within the context
of a comprehensive system-of-care in which a coordinated network of service providers collaborate to meet the needs of children
and adolescents with serious behavioral and emotional disturbances. To the extent that inter-organizational networks influence
the choices of organizational decision makers, it is necessary to understand interactions among participating organizations
within the system when studying diffusion processes associated with EBP adoption and implementation. The present study analyzes
decision making about the adoption and implementation of an EBP within the ecological context of system-of-care collaboration.
Findings suggest that several factors impact the adoption decision, including system-of-care infrastructure planning and development
activities before the decision process, the perception of adequate start-up and ongoing implementation resources among key
players in the system-of-care, the range of motivations to participate in collaborative decision making, and the presence
of entrepreneurial leadership.

Modelling healthcare systems with phase-type distributions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mark Fackrell 《Health care management science》2009,12(1):11-26
Phase-type distributions constitute a very versatile class of distributions. They have been used in a wide range of stochastic
modelling applications in areas as diverse as telecommunications, finance, biostatistics, queueing theory, drug kinetics,
and survival analysis. Their use in modelling systems in the healthcare industry, however, has so far been limited. In this
paper we introduce phase-type distributions, give a survey of where they have been used in the healthcare industry, and propose
some ideas on how they could be further utilized.

This paper examines the effect of a student’s own school adjustment as well as the contextual level of school adjustment (the
normative level of school adjustment among students in a school) on students’ self-reported use of alcohol. Using a dataset
of 43,465 male and female 8th grade students from 349 schools across the contiguous United States who participated in a national
study of substance use in rural communities between 1996 and 2000, multilevel latent covariate models were utilized to disentangle
the individual-level and contextual effects of three school adjustment variables (i.e., school bonding, behavior at school,
and friend’s school bonding) on alcohol use. All three school adjustment factors were significant predictors of alcohol use
both within and between schools. Furthermore, this study demonstrated a strong contextual effect: Students who attended schools
where the overall level of school adjustment was higher reported lower levels of alcohol use even after taking their own school
adjustment into account. The results demonstrate the importance of both a student’s own level of school adjustment and the
normative level of school adjustment among students in the school on an adolescent’s use of alcohol. Differences in school
adjustment across schools were quite strongly related to an adolescent’s own alcohol use, indicating that school adjustment
is an important aspect of school climate. Initiatives aimed at improving school climate may have beneficial effects on students’
alcohol use.

Injury accidents occurring in the home, during educational, sports or leisure activities were estimated from samples of hospital
data, combined with fatality data from vital statistics. Uncertainty of estimated figures was assessed in simulation-based
analysis. Total economic costs to society from injuries and fatalities due to such accidents were estimated at approximately
NOK 150 billion per year. The estimated costs reveal the scale of the public health problem and lead to arguments for the
establishment of a proper injury register for the identification of preventive measures to reduce the costs to society.

This article focuses on the redistributive effects of different measures to finance public health insurance. We analyse the
implications of different financing options for public health insurance on the redistribution of income from good to bad health
risks and from high-income to low-income individuals. The financing options considered are either income-related (namely income
taxes, payroll taxes, and indirect taxes), health-related (co-insurance, deductibles, and no-claim), or neither (flat fee).
We show that governments who treat access to health care as a basic right for everyone should consider redistributive effects
when reforming health care financing.
