摘要:Changes in funding, clientele, and treatment practices of public and privately owned substance abuse treatment programs, compelled in part by increased cost containment pressures, have prompted researchers' investigations of the implications of organizational form for treatment programs. These studies primarily probe associations between ownership status, patient characteristics, and services delivered and do not empirically link organizational form or structure to treatment outcomes. Data fro...

Evidence from recursive vector autoregressions and autoregressive distributed lag models that use information on the Federal Reserve contractionary initiatives indicate that the employment-population ratio of minorities is more sensitive to contractionary m...

Several studies have found that subsequent program participation declined more for immigrants relative to natives, seemingly verifying the early projections. However, many of these restrictions were either rescinded b...
