The impact of Disability Insurance reassessment on healthcare use.

Several Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries have constrained Disability Income Insurance (DI) eligibility and reassessed those on DI to encourage workforce participation.

Association between density of gaming venues in a geographical area and prevalence of insolvency: longitudinal evidence from Australia.

Background And Aims: Problem gambling can lead to a myriad of harmful consequences, including unmanageable amounts of debt and serious financial problems. The aim of this study was to examine whether changes in the number of electronic gaming machine (EGM) venues within a local area (due to venue openings and closings) are associated with changes in the rates of serious financial problems.

Design: Area-level longitudinal multivariate regressions controlling for possible confounders (fixed and time-varying local area characteristics).
