 Mental Illness and Substance Use Hospitalizations in New Hampshire,
1997-2006
The study, written by Peter Antal, Ph. D., explains the patterns of use
of mental health and substance abuse services throughout New Hampshire's
hospitals. The report looks at changes in hospital patient demographics,
patterns of use, patterns of service, patterns of charge and insurance
coverage, patterns of condition identification, risks associated with
lack of coverage.
The report concludes that the number of patients seeking inpatient care
for mental illness and substance abuse has increased over the years of
the study and that the amount of hospitals providing care to those
patients has decreased. The report additionally mentions that more
individuals are seeking public care rather than private and that the
trend is expected to continue.
