摘要

This report presents results of a longitudinal examination (FY 1988-1993) of CHAMPUS mental health per capita expenditures, for eligible beneficiaries ages 18 through 64, in all Health Services Command (HSC) catchment areas. The report follows the same analysis and presentation of Optenberg, S.A., November 1993), which compared mental health expenditures in beneficiaries of ages less than 18. Prior to the Demonstration Project, Fort Bragg ranked 12 out of 37 HSC catchment areas in terms of highest per capita expenditures; by the end of the study period it ranked 21 out of 35. When comparing estimated trends in per capita monthly expenditures, Fort Bragg had an average decrease in pre-to post-demonstration period growth (100% decrease).
