Abstract Details

2014, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Public Health.
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the effects of the institution of annual limits on certain community based mental health services for adults on Medicaid in the state of Ohio. The first chapter provides an overview of the relevant literature that is used in the dissertation. The second chapter identifies which populations may be likely to experience care limitations as a result of these benefit limits. This is achieved using a log-binomial analysis of utilization data prior to the implementation of the policy. The third chapter of the dissertation explores quantitatively how care delivery changed after the implementation of the policy. The fourth chapter provides a qualitative analysis of the operational changes made by providers of community based mental health services, as well of the antecedents of these changes. The fifth and final chapter aims to summarize the achievements of the dissertation and to highlight areas where further research is needed.
