Care Costs

Objective: To measure service use and costs associated with health care for patients with mental health (MH) and substance use/addiction (SA) problems. Methods: A 5-year cross-sectional study (2007-2012) of administrative health care data was conducted (average annual sample size = 123,235 adults aged >18 years who had a valid Ontario health care number and used at least 1 service during the year; 55% female). We assessed average annual use of primary care, emergency departments and hospitals, and overall health care costs for patients identified as having MH only, SA only, co-occurring MH and SA problems (MH+SA), and no MH and/or SA (MH/SA) problems. Total visits/admissions and total non-MH/SA visits (i.e., excluding MH/SA visits) were regressed separately on MH, SA, and MH+SA cases compared to non-MH/SA cases using the 2011-2012 sample ( N = 123,331), controlling for age and sex. Results: Compared to non-MH/SA patients, MH/SA patients were significantly ( P < 0.001) more likely to visit primary care physicians (1.82 times as many visits for MH-only patients, 4.24 for SA, and 5.59 for MH+SA), use emergency departments (odds, 1.53 [MH], 3.79 [SA], 5.94 [MH+SA]), and be hospitalized (odds, 1.59 [MH], 4.10 [SA], 7.82 [MH+SA]). MH/SA patients were also significantly more likely than non-MH/SA patients to have non-MH/SA-related visits and accounted for 20% of the sample but over 30% of health care costs. Conclusions: MH and SA are core issues for all health care settings. MH/SA patients use more services overall and for non-MH/SA issues, with especially high use and costs for MH+SA patients.

Aim: It is known that increasing health literacy can increase people's quality of life, enable them to benefit from health services more effectively and contribute to reducing health care costs. Inadequate health literacy has been reported to lead to insufficient health information, high risk of ill health, low level of understanding of treatment methods and increase in health care costs. Today, increasing number of chronic diseases, increasing the elderly population and increasing the budget allocated to health services have also increased the importance of health literacy levels. In this context, it is aimed to investigate health literacy levels and factors affecting our country. Methods: Our cross-sectional study was conducted in voluntary patients who applied to the family medicine outpatient clinic of a university. In our study, sociodemographic questionnaire form and Turkish Health Literacy Scale were used for data collection. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis and p Results: 225 volunteers were included in our study. 62,1% of them were women. The mean score of the health literacy scale was 25.5±10.2. 50.6% of the participants were inadequate, and 25.1% of them had problematic health literacy level. The level of health literacy was found to be significantly lower in women, who had low education level, who were married and had children and who had vision problems. Conclusion: The data obtained from our study showed that our health literacy levels are low. We need to develop policies that increase our levels
