Spotlight on Grantee Publication

Mark Edlund, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of Psychiatry at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and Thomas Belin, Ph.D., professor of Biostatistics at the UCLA School of Public Health,  co-authored an article titled, “Geographic Variation in Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services Utilization: What are the Sources of the Variation?” that appeared in the September 2006 issue of the Journal of Mental Health Policy and Economics. The article describes HCFO-sponsored research examining the extent to which geographic variation in assessment and treatment rates for alcohol, drug, and mental disorders (ADM) was due to variation in case-mix across sites and quantifies the amount of geographic variation after case-mix adjustment.

Current HCFO grantee publications and recent grant findings will be regularly featured in the results section of our Web site.
