National Long-Term Care Channeling Demonstration. Differential Impacts Among Subgroups of Early Channeling Enrollees Six Months After Randomization

摘要

A supplement to 'Channeling Effects for an Early Sample at 6-Month Followup' (Kemper et al., 1984), addresses the issue of variation in channeling impacts among subgroups of sample members. In general, where channeling impacts exist, there is not strong evidence that those impacts differ markedly among various types of clients. For the most part, differences were not highly significant statistically and did not produce consistent patterns of differences across outcome measures and subgroups. The study did provide some insight into factors underlying channeling impacts.
