Information from health maintenance organizations' databases are also used to estimate the costs arising from tise of health-care resources by anxiety-disorder patients. Simon, Ormel, VonKorff, and Barlow (1995) examined the association between presence of psychiatric disorders and health-care utilization in a sample of primary-care patients attending a large health maintenance organization (HMO) in Seattle, Washington. Patients were grouped into one of three categories according to interview: meeting DSM-III-R criteria for an anxiety disorder (GAD was included as a diagnosis) or a mood disorder, subclinical anxiety disorder or mood disorder, and absence of anxiety or mood disorder. For each participant, data obtained from computerized HMO records were used to calculate costs for the si...

Essentially, CMA president Dr. Brian Day, like Prof. [Jeffrey Sachs], is arguing that inefficient health care does not make "economic sense." Regardless of whether Dr. Day's primary intention is to improve the health of patients or to generate support for privatized health services, he is effectively promoting a rather perverse ethic: that good health is a means to economic growth rather than an end in itself. In other words, the report's focus on economic productivity diminishes the importance of health as a fundamental human right.

Sleep disturbances, including insomnia, may be associated with psychiatric conditions. Patients with a psychiatric disorder often complain of disturbed sleep - a finding that has been supported by objective measurement in the sleep laboratory (Benca, Obermeyer, Thisted, & Gillin, 1992). Those with the complaint of chronic insomnia may be either diagnosable with or are at risk for developing a psychiatric condition. Data from two longitudinal epidemiological studies of adults demonstrate a connection between sleep disturbance and depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders (Ford & Kamerow, 1989; [Mellinger] et al., 1985). Ford and Kamerow found that individuals with unresolved insomnia had significantly higher rates of subsequent episodes of both depression and anxiety disor...

The perceived rural-urban divide ignores this interdependence between rural and urban Canada, to the detriment of both. Cities owe their very existence to rural Canadians, being their service centres. Winnipeg would not have gained prominence if it were not for its agricultural history. Today, urbanites also benefit from rural communities being the stewards of much of our land, green space, water, and natural recreational opportunities. Likewise, many urbanites choose to live in rural communities for lifestyle purposes and commute back to the city. Urban employers need the rural workforce, while firms such as food processors locate in ex-urban communities for lower land and labour costs. The typical Winnipeg resident likely does not appreciate these factors.
Rural residents also regular...

The paper attempts to integrate two major theoretical approaches for the explanation of kinship relationships, namely the institutional approach of cultural anthropology and the interactionist approach of family sociology and social gerontology. It takes the institutional settings of kinship systems on the societal level into account and relates them to interactions within the kinship groups. These relations are formulated in two hypotheses: The lineagehypothesis refers to the selection of kinship members for interaction relationships; the welfarehypothesis refers to the selection with regard to the kind of relationship (functional solidarity and/ or emotional solidarity). The empirical analysis is based on an approach suggested by Silverstein et al. (1994) for intergenerational relatio...
