The Use Of Respite In Crisis Emergency Services: A Two Year Analysis, Anne D. Kuppinger, Mary E. Evans, Roger A. Boothroyd, Marleen Radigan

Mental Health Law & Policy Faculty Publications

Respite care is widely believed to be an important service for families raising a child with a disability. All caregivers need a break from time to time, and the need may be even greater when the caregiver is coping with the additional stress associated with a child's disability. A number of studies have demonstrated that respite care can improve family functioning (Cohen, 1982), reduce stress (Rimmerman, 1989; Wickler & Hanusa, 1990; Appoloni & Triest, 1983), and delay out-of-home placement (Cohen, 1982; Upshur, 1982) for families with a child who has a disability.

Nicotine Withdrawal: Assessing The Fda's Effort To Regulate Tobacco Products, Lars Noah, Barbara A. Noah Jan 1996

Nicotine Withdrawal: Assessing The Fda's Effort To Regulate Tobacco Products, Lars Noah, Barbara A. Noah

Faculty Scholarship

At a press conference held on August 23, 1996, just one year after initially revealing his plans, President Clinton announced sweeping federal regulations to combat the underage use of tobacco products. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) subsequently published a lengthy preamble to accompany the final regulations, detailing the Agency's assessment of the problem and responding to numerous public comments to its notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Characterizing the growing use of tobacco products as a "pediatric disease," FDA Commissioner David Kessler previously had vowed to alter the smoking habits of the newest generation of tobacco users in order to …

Investigational Treatments: Coverage, Controversy, And Consensus, Mary Ader

Medical and legal controversies surrounding payment for investigative treatments abound.

Causation Issues In Medical Malpractice: A United Kingdom Perspective, Marc S. Stauch Jan 1996

Causation Issues In Medical Malpractice: A United Kingdom Perspective, Marc S. Stauch

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

In the United Kingdom, the most difficult aspect of proving a medical malpractice claim may be establishing causation-the link between the medical professional's breach of duty and the patient's damages. Because the traditional "but for" test unfairly burdens the plaintiff, a rule such as the "loss of chance" doctrine would be more equitable.

Racist Health Care?, Barbara A. Noah Jan 1996

Racist Health Care?, Barbara A. Noah

Faculty Scholarship

During the past few years, rationing has become an explicit feature in decisions concerning optimal delivery of health care services, and it poses difficult choices for health care providers and policymakers. Insurers and patients increasingly must balance the desire for access to every possible treatment against concerns about affordability. Costdriven treatment decisions are becoming an unavoidable reality for most patients. Apparently, however, another more pernicious type of rationing occurs in this country. It does not depend on factors such as the likelihood of an optimal outcome, the comparative efficacy of different available treatment modalities, or even the ability to pay …
