Community Partnerships for Older Adults (CPFOA) Program Survey of Older Adults, 2008 [United States] (ICPSR 27181)

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14

Geographic coverage: United States, Texas, Massachusetts, Hawaii, California, Georgia, New York (state), Wisconsin

Time period: 2008-01-01--2009-01-01

This is the second round of the Community Partnerships for Older Adults (CPFOA) Program Survey of Older Adults. Like the first round, which was fielded in 2002 and released as ICPSR 4301 (Community Partnerships for Older Adults (CPOA) Program Survey of Older Adults, 2002), the second round was conducted as part of the evaluation of the CPFOA Program, an initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) aimed at promoting improvements in the organization and delivery of long-term care and supportive services for older adults through local public-private partnerships. The 2002 survey was conducted in the 13 communities in which partnerships received development grants from RWJF, and, in 2008, the survey was repeated in the eight of them in which partnerships received implementation grants from the Foundation. The goal of the survey was to improve understanding of the characteristics of older adults, their knowledge and perceptions about issues related to long-term care, and their use of long-term care services and support. In addition, the data collected by the survey enabled the communities to target the partnership's activities in the most effective way.

The second round was based on the 2002 survey instrument. Changes to the instrument were minimized so that the data from the 2002 and 2008 rounds would be comparable. The instrument was modified to delete questions that had low item response in 2002, to add questions requested by the partnerships, to add questions for decision-makers, or to modify questions that were outdated. As in 2002, the 2008 survey interviewed respondents about supportive and long-term care services for older adults in their communities, including the availability, use of, and quality of the services and sources of information about them. Respondents were asked if they expected to stay in their community, if their homes needed repairs or modifications to improve their ability to live in them, how important it was to be able to live in their own home as they grew older, the age at which they thought they would need help to continue living in their own home, and the age at which they thought they could no longer live at home because of health problems. The survey also collected information on health status, problems with activities of everyday life, health insurance coverage and long-term care insurance, hospital stays, living arrangements, social activities, support from family and friends, access to transportation, and demographic characteristics.

Community Partnerships for Older Adults (CPOA) Program Survey of Older Adults, 2002 [United States] (ICPSR 4301)

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14

Geographic coverage: Vermont, United States, Hawaii, California, New York (state), Maui, Arkansas, Michigan, Texas, Massachusetts, Georgia, Wisconsin, Boston

This survey is one component of the evaluation of the Community Partnerships for Older Adults (CPOA) Program, an initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation aimed at promoting improvements in the organization and delivery of long-term care and supportive services for older adults through local public-private community partnerships. The survey interviewed a representative sample of older adults aged 50 and over in 13 communities that were awarded development grants by the program. Designed to obtain baseline data about each community's population and to provide information to target the CPOA's activities in the most effective way, the survey interviewed respondents about supportive and long-term care services for older adults in their communities, including the availability, use of, and quality of the services and sources of information about them. Respondents were asked if they expected to stay in their community, if their homes needed repairs or modifications to improve their ability to live in them, how important it was to be able to live in their own home as they grew older, the age at which they thought they would need help to continue living in their own home, and the age at which they thought they could no longer live at home because of health problems. The survey also collected information on health status, problems with activities of everyday life, health insurance coverage and long-term care insurance, hospital stays, living arrangements, social activities, support from family and friends, access to transportation, and demographic characteristics.

Evaluation of the Adolescent Portable Therapy (APT) Program [New York City], 2001-2004 (ICPSR 4299)

Released/updated on: 2005-11-04

Geographic coverage: New York City, United States, New York (state)

Time period: 2001-01-01--2004-01-01

This study contains data collected for an evaluation of the Adolescent Portable Therapy (APT) Program, which provided family-based drug treatment services to adolescents involved with the New York City juvenile justice system on charges of Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS) or delinquency. The program aimed to improve five core areas of the young peoples' lives: substance use, mental health, schooling, family functioning, and recidivism. Recruitment for the study occurred at juvenile detention facilities in New York City. Intake staff conducted screening interviews with the detainees. Those who reported using substances at least 30 times in the previous 30 days, or who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition (DSM IV) criteria for substance abuse or dependence were eligible for selection. After the respondents and their families consented to participate, the respondents were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. The treatment group went on to receive services from APT, while control group subjects received no APT services but had access to all other standard facilities and community based services. The evaluation participants were interviewed at four time points: at intake into the study in the juvenile detention facilities (baseline), three months after release from detention (T1), nine months after release from detention (T2), and 15 months after release from detention (T3). Whenever subjects were interviewed outside of a detention facility for T1, T2, and T3, study staff attempted to collect urine samples which were tested for marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and opiates. Topics covered by the interviews included substance use and treatment, physical health, risk behaviors and disease prevention, mental and emotional health, living situation and environment, crime and legal issues, school, work, income, and demographic characteristics.

Evaluation of the Health Link Program [New York City]: The Community Reintegration Model to Reduce Substance Abuse Among Jail Inmates, 1997-2002 (ICPSR 3978)

Released/updated on: 2004-08-20

Geographic coverage: New York City, United States, New York (state)

Time period: 1997-01-01--2002-01-01

This evaluation study, funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was designed to provide a rigorous assessment of the effects of making Health Link's community-based services available to former inmates of New York City's jail system at Rikers Island. The goal of the Health Link Project was to promote healthy reintegration of persons leaving Rikers into their communities by (1) providing direct services to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated clients, (2) assisting community organizations that served this population, (3) establishing linkages between organizations, and (4) strengthening linkages between them and public agencies. The signature component of Health Link was case management in the community. Meeting with clients after their release from jail, caseworkers provided a support structure, made referrals to services, offered crisis intervention and counseling, and served as advocates for clients. Only adult females and adolescent males were included in the study. Eligible inmates who volunteered for the evaluation study were assigned to one of two groups: the Jail-and-Community Services group (JC group) or the Jail Services Only group (J group). JC group members were eligible for Health Link's intensive discharge planning and community case management services, while J group members were eligible for less intensive discharge planning services and ineligible for Health Link's community case management services. Evaluation subjects initially completed an intake questionnaire, which collected information on age, race, Hispanic origin, ethnicity, place and type of residence, family relations, criminal background, employment and education, substance abuse, health and medical history, sexual at-risk behavior and reproductive health, and history of trauma. Follow-up interviews were conducted, on average, about 15 months after release from jail, a sufficient time to observe the 12-month period for which clients were eligible for community-based services. Topics covered in the follow-up 12 Month Questionnaire included involvement in the criminal justice system, criminal activity, substance abuse, participation in substance abuse treatment programs, education and employment outcomes, health status, access to and utilization of health care services, sexual activity and HIV risk, housing, and involvement with family and community. Subjects who were not incarcerated at the time of their follow-up interview were asked to voluntarily provide hair samples, which were tested for metabolites of cocaine, opiates, PCP, methamphetamine, and marijuana.

Evaluation of the Partnership for Long-Term Care (PLTC) [California, Connecticut, Indiana, and New York]: Surveys of PLTC/non-PLTC Insurers, Purchasers/Nonpurchasers of PLTC Insurance, and Purchasers of non-PLTC Insurance, 1995-1996 (ICPSR 2466)

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14

Geographic coverage: Indiana, United States, Connecticut, California, New York (state)

Time period: 1995-01-01--1996-01-01

These surveys were conducted to evaluate the Partnership for Long-Term Care (PLTC), a project in which the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded grants to four states -- California, Connecticut, Indiana, and New York -- to work with private insurers to create long-term care insurance policies that were more affordable and provided better protection against impoverishment than those generally available. PLTC policies combine private long-term care insurance with special Medicaid eligibility standards that protect assets of the insured once private insurance benefits are exhausted. Four parts constitute this collection. Parts 1 and 2 consist of data from a survey of PLTC insurers and of non-PLTC insurers, respectively. Both of these surveys gathered information on marketing methods, underwriting procedures, case management, sales, views on the PLTC, and reasons for participating or not participating in the PLTC. Part 3 comprises data from a survey of purchasers and nonpurchasers of PLTC policies, which included questions about health status, insurance coverage, opinions on long-term care insurance, financial planning for long-term care, income, assets, and demographic and social characteristics, such as sex, date of birth, education, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, household size, number of living children, and employment. Part 4 contains data from a survey of Californians who purchased non-PLTC long-term care insurance before and after the implementation of the PLTC in California. This survey covered the same topics as the survey of purchasers/nonpurchasers of PLTC insurance.

Study of the Response of Small Businesses to State Health Insurance Exchanges, 2012-2013 (ICPSR 35246)

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14

Geographic coverage: Oregon, United States, Colorado, Minnesota, Alabama, New York (state)

Time period: 2012-10-31--2013-09-09

This survey studied small businesses' health insurance offerings and their owners' knowledge about health insurance exchanges and other Affordable Care Act provisions in five of the states participating in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's State Health Reform Assistance Network: Alabama, Colorado, Minnesota, New York and Oregon. Statewide online and computer-assisted telephone interviews provided baseline information -- before the establishment of the ACA's individual or Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) exchanges -- on the types of health insurance offered by small firms with 3 to 100 employees, which workers were offered insurance, and the cost of that coverage to the employer and employee. Other topics covered by the survey include the firms' characteristics, reasons for offering or not offering health insurance, claims for the ACA small business tax credit, general impressions of the ACA, changes the firms made to their health insurance benefits in response to ACA provisions, and whether the availability of coverage in the new individual and SHOP exchanges would influence their decisions to offer health insurance in the future.

"Your Child's Teeth" Project, 1991-1993: [New York City] (ICPSR 6578)

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14

Geographic coverage: New York City, United States, New York (state)

Time period: 1991-03-01--1993-06-30

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an educational program called "Your Child's Teeth", which was designed to modify mothers' care of their young children's teeth. These data, gathered at three consecutive weekly sessions with mothers, children, and dental health counselors in New York City, provide information on the oral health of the children and the extent of the mothers' knowledge of dental care for infants. Information on the oral health of the children includes scores of caries and abscesses in the maxillary teeth, and indices of maxillary and mandibular plaque and gingivitis. Mothers were queried on how to clean infants' teeth and gums, how to prevent use of a baby's bottle from causing cavities, and other behaviors and practices related to dental hygiene. Demographics include mother's age, race, and education, as well as child's age and gender.
