Article: The North Atlantic Population Project: Progress and Prospects.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The North Atlantic Population Project (NAPP) is a massive database of historical census microdata from European and North American countries. The backbone of the project is the unique collection of completely digitized censuses providing information on the entire enumerated populations of each country. In addition, for some countries, the NAPP includes sample data from surrounding census years. In this article, the authors provide a brief history of the project, describe their progress to data and plans for the future, and discuss some potential implications of this unique data resource for social and economic research.Historical Methods A Journal of Quantitative and Interdisciplinary History 01/2011; 44(1):1-6. -
Article: A review of economic evaluations of community mental health care.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors review the methodology and findings of economic evaluations of 42 community mental health care programs reported in the English-language literature between 1979 and 2003. There were three substantial methodological problems in the literature: costs were often not completely specified, the quality of econometric analysis was often low, and most evaluations failed to integrate cost and health outcome information. Well-conducted research shows that care in the community dominates hospital in-patient care, achieving better outcomes at lower or equal cost. It is less clear what types of community programs are most cost-effective. Future research should focus on identifying which types of community care are most cost effective and at what level of intensity they are most effective.Medical Care Research and Review 11/2005; 62(5):503-43. · 2.96 Impact Factor
