Socioeconomic status, drug insurance benefits, and new prescriptions for inhaled corticosteroids in schoolchildren with asthma.

BACKGROUND: Low-income children with asthma are less likely to receive inhaled corticosteroid prescriptions that can prevent asthma morbidity. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the receipt of inhaled corticosteroids in children with asthma is related to household socioeconomic status and type of drug insurance. DESIGN: Using population-based prescription and health care data from Manitoba, a cohort study of the determinants of receiving new prescriptions for inhaled corticosteroids was conducted in children treated with asthma drugs. PARTICIPANTS: School-aged children (n = 12 481) receiving asthma prescriptions from January 1995 to March 1996 but no inhaled corticosteroid prescriptions in the initial 6-month period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Household socioeconomic and drug insurance predictors of the probability of receiving a new inhaled corticosteroid prescription from July 1995 to March 1998, following adjustment for disease and health care utilization factors. RESULTS: In comparison with higher-income children insured through a provincial cost-sharing drug plan, the adjusted likelihood ratio for a new inhaled corticosteroid prescription was 0.88 (95% confidence interval, 0.80-0.97) in low-income children insured through the same drug plan and 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.76-0.88) in children receiving prescriptions at no charge through provincial income assistance or First Nations benefits programs (Winnipeg, Manitoba). CONCLUSION: Independent of asthma severity, type of drug insurance, or health care utilization patterns, low-income children with asthma are significantly less likely to receive inhaled corticosteroid prescriptions.

The impact of unemployment insurance benefits on the probability of migration of the unemployed.

"By ignoring individual unemployment compensation benefits and conditions of job termination, past migration research has concluded that personal unemployment doubles the likelihood of interstate labor-force migration. Findings from the present study indicate that aggregating the unemployed, without adjusting for these two factors, overstates the probability of migration for the involuntarily unemployed benefit recipient and understates the likelihood of migration for the voluntarily unemployed benefit recipient. The results suggest that federal discretionary unemployment-compensation programs, which are implemented during recessionary periods, likely serve to retard out-migration of those who are involuntarily unemployed." Data are from a 1982 sample of unemployed U.S. workers.

Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability insurance benefits; limitations on benefit payments to prisoners; restrictions on disability determinations for felony-related and prison-related impairments--Social Security Administration. Proposed rules.

These proposed regulations, which are based on Pub. L. 96-473, place certain restrictions on the payment of benefits based on disability and student status to persons who have been convicted of a felony and are imprisoned and restrict the use of certain impairments in determining disability. These proposed rules specify the conditions under which benefits will not be paid to these individuals and how a finding of disability may be affected when an impairment, or the aggravation of a preexisting impairment, arises during the commission of a felony or imprisonment. Before the enactment of Pub. L. 96-473, there were no restrictions upon the payment of benefits or the making of disability determinations for these persons.

Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance benefits annual earnings test--Social Security Administration. Proposed rule.

These proposed regulations reflect recent statutory amendments which delay for one year (from January 1982 until January 1983), for all except a very small number of individuals who file their tax returns on a fiscal year basis, full-implementation of section 302, Pub. L. 95-216, the Social Security Amendments of 1977. Section 302 reduced from 72 to 70 the age at which social security beneficiaries are no longer subject to an earnings test.
