Welfare Reform And The Well-Being Of Families: Successes To Date And Challenges Ahead, Jane Koppelman
Welfare Reform And The Well-Being Of Families: Successes To Date And Challenges Ahead, Jane Koppelman
National Health Policy Forum
This issue brief discusses a key issue in evaluating the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA): the status of families after the implementation of this landmark welfare reform program. The new block grant program to states to administer the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families(TANF) program has been extremely effective when measured by lower welfare rolls and higher work rates and earnings for recipients. However, an equally important dimension described by the paper is what is known about longer-term effects and the status of people who have left welfare, with special emphasis on how children have …

Research Across Multiple Systems: Probabilistic Population Estimation (Ppe), Diane Haynes, Rebecca Larsen, Shabnam Mehra
Mental Health Law & Policy Faculty Publications
Today, social service administrators are examining client service utilization using cross system analysis, because often a client's needs require accessing governmentfunded services from multiple organizations. One technical problem that arises is that organizations do not share common unique identifiers from which to link one individual’s information together (i.e., system #1 uses Social Security Number (SSN) and system #2 uses Personal Identification Number (PIN)). Different methods have been employed to deal with the issue of working with information across data sets when there is no common unique identifier. Probabilistic Population Estimation (PPE), Caseload Segregation/Integration Ratio (C/SIR), and Probabilistic Population Matching (PPM) …
The Globalization Of Public Health: The First 100 Years Of International Health Diplomacy, David P. Fidler
The Globalization Of Public Health: The First 100 Years Of International Health Diplomacy, David P. Fidler
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Global threats to public health in the 19th century sparked the development of international health diplomacy. Many international regimes on public health issues were created between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. The present article analyses the global risks in this field and the international legal responses to them between 1851 and 1951, and explores the lessons from the first century of international health diplomacy of relevance to contemporary efforts to deal with the globalization of public health.

The Girl Who Cried Pain: A Bias Against Women In The Treatment Of Pain, Diane E. Hoffmann, Anita J. Tarzian
The Girl Who Cried Pain: A Bias Against Women In The Treatment Of Pain, Diane E. Hoffmann, Anita J. Tarzian
Faculty Scholarship
In general, women report more severe levels of pain, more frequent incidences of pain, and pain of longer duration than men, but are nonetheless treated for pain less aggressively. The authors investigate this paradox from two perspectives: Do men and women in fact experience pain differently - whether biologically, cognitively, and/or emotionally? And regardless of the answer, what accounts for the differences in the pain treatment they receive, and what can we do to correct this situation?
Dealing With Conflicts Of Interest In Biomedical Research: Irb Oversight As The Next Best Solution To The Abolitionist Approach, Jesse Goldner
Dealing With Conflicts Of Interest In Biomedical Research: Irb Oversight As The Next Best Solution To The Abolitionist Approach, Jesse Goldner
All Faculty Scholarship
The author details the conflicts of interest facing individual investigators and research institutions and describes the current mechanisms, primarily focused at the relationship between the investigator and the research institution, to regulate these conflicts. The author finds these mechanisms insufficient and believes that the best approach is not to regulate conflicts, but to abolish them. The author acknowledges, however, that there is a lack of political will in an abolitionist approach. He proposes, therefore, institutional review board oversight at the level of the relationship between researcher and individual subjects as the next best solution.

Evaluation Of Florida’S Sub-Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Program (Sipp), Kristen M. Snyder, Angela Gomez, Mary L. Armstrong, Kathy Thompson-Dailey, Tom Massey
Mental Health Law & Policy Faculty Publications
In March 1998, the State of Florida received approval of a 1915 (b) waiver from the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) to implement an alternative, Sub-acute Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) for children under the age of 18, who had two or more psychiatric inpatient stays in a year, or a length of stay greater than thirteen days. For these high risk youth, who were typically served in general hospitals, the SIPP model was designed to improve the transition from inpatient care to community based care, in an effort to reduce the high rates of readmission and improve their chances of …

Setting Limits: Medical Technology And The Law, George P. Smith Ii

The allocation and rationing of health care resources is, no doubt, one of the most pressing issues confronting contemporary society. These issues considered from a micro and a macro level of economic analysis are linked inextricably to utilitarianism which, in turn, relies upon a cost-benefit analysis which balances reasonable individual needs against the availability of medical resources within the larger community. From an ethical viewpoint, the cost-benefit approach to the distribution of health care resources is impractical because it seeks to reduce (or convert) all health benefits to dollar amounts, thereby seeking very awkwardly to convert quality of life benefits …
The Market For Medical Ethics, Maxwell Gregg Bloche
The Market For Medical Ethics, Maxwell Gregg Bloche
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
At the core of Kenneth Arrow’s classic 1963 essay on medical uncertainty is a claim that has failed to carry the day among economists. This claim—that physician adherence to an anti-competitive ethic of fidelity to patients and suppression of pecuniary influences on clinical judgment pushes medical markets toward social optimality—has won Arrow near-iconic status among medical ethicists (and many physicians). Yet conventional wisdom among health economists, including several participants in this symposium, holds that this claim is either naïve or outdated. Health economists admire Arrow’s article for its path-breaking analysis of market failures resulting from information asymmetry, uncertainty, and moral …
