The Relationship

We investigate the relationship between foreclosures and hospital visits using data on all foreclosures and all hospital and emergency room visits from four states that were among the hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis. We find that living in a neighborhood with a spike in foreclosures is associated with significant increases in urgent unscheduled visits, including increases in visits for preventable conditions. The estimated relationships cannot be accounted for by increasing unemployment, declines in housing prices, migration, or by people switching from out-patient providers to hospitals.

Asthma is thought by most to be a benign health issue, but the statistics say otherwise. In Canada there are over 146 000 emergency room visits and 500 deaths each year from asthma. An estimated 80% are preventable. These hospital visits cost the Canadian government over $135 million a year. A solution is needed and that solution is the Emergency Salbutomal Inhaler. I have designed a small, easy­to­carry, two­  dose, dry­powder asthma inhaler, with patent pending. The device can easily be attached to a keychain or  necklace for carrying ease, and will be quickly accessible in the event of an asthma attack. When an  asthmatic has an attack and goes to a hospital, they are given a maximum of 2 doses of the rescue drug  Salbutomal. The device carries two doses. Thus, in a sense I have invented a hospital on a keychain for  asthmatics. During an asthma attack there is no time to fumble with an inhaler; my easy­to­use design  ensures relief will be provided.

The Impact

A study was done to assess the necessity of hospital care for poisoning episodes in children less than 5 years old and to evaluate the impact of a regional poison center on the use of emergency rooms for pediatric poisonings. Of the pediatric patients seen in emergency rooms for acute poisonings, 63% did not require the services of a hospital; 95% did not contact the regional poison center before going to the hospital. When all poisoning episodes were considered, the regional poison center was found to reduce significantly pediatric visits to emergency rooms. Of parents who did not call the poison center, 44% went to an emergency room whereas less than 1% of parents who called the poison center went to a hospital (P < .001). Moreover, 28% of those who did not call made unnecessary visits to the hospital compared with only 0.5% of parents who called the poison center (P < .001). A regional poison center was found to be an effective means of decreasing unnecessary hospital visits for pediatric poisonings. Regional poison centers, however, need to further their impact by addressing outreach efforts to parents who do not call poison centers, emergency rooms, and pediatricians.

Using Data

Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe polypharmacy in AL settings. We hypothesized that: (1) age, gender, race, setting, multimorbidity and cognitive status would influence polypharmacy; and (2) polypharmacy would be associated with falls, emergency room visits and hospitalizations. This was a descriptive study using data from the first cohort of the FFC-AL-EIT Study. A total of 242 participants from 26 AL settings were included. Participants had a mean age of 86.86 (SD=7.0), the majority were women 179(74%) and white (N=232, 96%) with 5 (SD=2) comorbidities. The mean number of drugs was 7 (SD=3.56) and 51% were exposed to polypharmacy, 24% fell at least once, 9% were sent to the hospital and 13% to the emergency room. Neither hypothesis was supported. Continued research is needed to explore the factors that influence polypharmacy and to identify if there are negative outcomes associated with polypharmacy in this population.

Residential Location and Household Spending: Exploring the Relationship Between Neighborhood Characteristics and Transportation and Housing Costs

The Relationship

Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and a seven-category neighborhood typology, this analysis examines the relationship between urban form and household spending. Results suggest that poor households living in urban areas have lower transportation expenditures than their counterparts in sprawling suburbs. Lower transportation costs, however, do not offset high housing prices, with poor households paying particularly high premiums for housing in the densest, most transit-rich neighborhoods. Households above the poverty threshold also benefit from reductions in transportation costs, especially in intensely urban areas. Nevertheless, these low transportation costs are not associated with lower overall expenditures; instead, they countervail high housing premiums, meaning that the most transit-rich neighborhoods do not offer cost savings relative to other neighborhood types. Findings highlight the need to expand the supply of both transit and housing in communities where poor households can leverage affordable transportation options to reduce their combined expenditure burden.
