Prescribing politics : an examination of the local and global factors which govern access to "atypical" psychotropic medications for Oregon's unfunded clientsMaxey, Judith L. 10 March 2000 (has links)
This thesis is based on a study conducted for the state of Oregon's Office of
Mental Health Services (OMHS). OMHS' primary research objectives included 1) the
identification of the unfunded population (individuals who are uninsured and ineligible
for Medicaid) who seek services at community mental health programs and 2) an
examination of this group's access to atypical antipsychotic and antidepressant
medications. OMHS sought this data in order to inform legislative decisions regarding a
forthcoming state budget proposal for a specialized atypicals fund. The author collected
ethnographic data through semi-structured interviews with 57 mental health clinicians
and 41 mental health advocates throughout Multnomah, Linn and Lincoln counties.
While answers to the primary research objectives were inconclusive, the
qualitative data characterizes the target population and contextualizes the unfunded
client's medication access issues at county-related mental health clinics. Specifically, the
study results indicate that 1) the complex characteristics of the unfunded population and
the inadequacies of the available medication resource programs should be examined more
thoroughly before allocating appropriated funds, 2) insufficient mental health services in
general is the foremost problem for unfunded clients, and that which contributes to
difficulties in accessing psychotropic medications, and 3) appropriated funds from the
state's budget would not adequately resolve the medication needs for the target
population. The study findings suggest that the state's concern with atypical medications
overshadows existing practical, everyday problems in the clinics.
The author analyzes the study from a Critical Medical Anthropology perspective,
examining the relationships between the global and local contexts surrounding atypical
medications, and discussing the practical use of the research data. From this perspective,
the state's preoccupation with supplying atypical medications for the target population
appears to be driven more by the pharmaceutical industry's profit-making interests and
the historical role of the public psychiatric field than by quality health care decisions.
The author also discusses medical hegemony in terms of the psychiatric field, and the
ways in which this effects the asymmetrical power within the Oregon mental health
system. / Graduation date: 2000

Health Status and Access Disparities Among the Uninsured Working-Age Population in a Safety-Net Healthcare Network in Tarrant County, TexasQueen, Courtney M. 12 1900 (has links)
The objective of this research was to determine if healthcare access disparities exist across race and gender in a publically funded safety-net healthcare system in Texas. Data were examined from a representative random sample of 1468 adults aged 18-64 who were patients in this safety-net system in July and August of 2000 and were analyzed using binary logistic regression and chi-square measures of significance. Major Findings: On measures of health status - overall health rating (p =.051), limited employment (p =.000), energy level (p =.001), and worry (p =.012) - Anglos reported the worst health; Mexican Americans, the best health; with African Americans intermediate. Mexican Americans were more likely to have never had health insurance, and to also have had insurance in the past year; Anglos were least likely to have ever had insurance (p =.015) or to have had insurance in the past year (p =.000). On use of EDs (p =.028), problems getting prescription medicines (p =.029), and foregoing other necessities of life to pay for healthcare, Mexican Americans were least disadvantaged with African Americans reporting greatest use of EDs among both men and women, and Anglos the most problems with prescription medicines and foregoing care, especially among women. Logistic regression revealed that health status was the strongest predictor of problems accessing healthcare in all groups; the poorer health status of safety-net patients, the more problems they had accessing care. Patterns of poor reported health status and greater problems accessing care among Anglos relative to other groups is discussed in terms of social drift and relative deprivation.
