Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was to identify characteristics contributing to or hindering utilization of mental health services in the past 12 months among working age adults with mental illness using Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Services Utilization. Originally developed in 1968, Andersen's model hypothesizes that three sets of factors, (predisposing, enabling, and need) differentially impact health services utilization. Historically mental health services have been underutilized in the U.S. and have unique mechanisms for care and reimbursement that are less prevalent for general health services. The current study utilized data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a population based-survey capturing patterns of drug use, mental health, and health services use in U.S. households of individuals 12 and older. The current study focused on mental health data for adults aged 18-64 who met criteria for mild, moderate, or serious mental illness. All data were publically available through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and SSPS 22 was used to analyze data. Statistical analyses included descriptive frequencies, bivariate logistic regression, and multivariate logistic regression with odds ratios reported. The final sample included 7,335 respondents. More than half of participants did not receive any mental health treatment. Among predisposing factors, being female and age 35 or older were associated with a greater likelihood of service utilization while being a race other that Non-Hispanic white was associated with a decreased use of services. Among enabling factors, individuals not currently working and having public insurance increased mental health service utilization. Individuals who had up to a high school diploma or GED, lacked insurance coverage, and made less than $10,000 annually were less likely to use mental health services. Among need factors, having moderate or serious mental illness and reporting unmet need was associated with an increased use of mental health services. Cost was the most reported reason for unmet need followed by thinking they could handle the problem without treatment for both users and non-users of mental health services. In order to increase the use of mental health services, future policy and treatment interventions should focus on enabling factors.

Book Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance Use Conditions

Download or read book Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance Use Conditions written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-03-29 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, more than 33 million Americans receive health care for mental or substance-use conditions, or both. Together, mental and substance-use illnesses are the leading cause of death and disability for women, the highest for men ages 15-44, and the second highest for all men. Effective treatments exist, but services are frequently fragmented and, as with general health care, there are barriers that prevent many from receiving these treatments as designed or at all. The consequences of this are seriousâ€"for these individuals and their families; their employers and the workforce; for the nation's economy; as well as the education, welfare, and justice systems. Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions examines the distinctive characteristics of health care for mental and substance-use conditions, including payment, benefit coverage, and regulatory issues, as well as health care organization and delivery issues. This new volume in the Quality Chasm series puts forth an agenda for improving the quality of this care based on this analysis. Patients and their families, primary health care providers, specialty mental health and substance-use treatment providers, health care organizations, health plans, purchasers of group health care, and all involved in health care for mental and substanceâ€"use conditions will benefit from this guide to achieving better care.
