Research has indicated that people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) appear to be more vulnerable to having a co-existing psychiatric diagnosis. This study examined Medicaid 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver applications for people with IDD to determine the mental/behavioral health services proposed. We found that a large variance exists across states in projected spending for services, spending per participant, annual hours of service per participant, and hourly reimbursement rates. Moreover, compared to overall funding we found a general lack of state commitment to mental/behavioral services. States must shore up the capacity of their HCBS 1915

BMJ Open

School of Geography and Sustainable Development, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, UK.
Objectives: Air pollution is considered a major threat for global health and is associated with various health outcomes. Previous research on long term exposure to ambient air pollution and health placed more emphasis on mortality rather than hospital admission outcomes and was characterised by heterogeneities in the size of effect estimates between studies, with less focus on mental/behavioural or infectious diseases outcomes. In this study, we investigated the association between long term exposure to ambient air pollution and all cause and cause specific hospital admissions.

Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition significantly affects cognitive, behavioral, and physical health, prompting a study using electronic health records to explore its related health issues.
- Two groups were analyzed: one with a history of malnutrition (n=5180) and another without (n=413890), revealing 35 health terms more common in the malnourished group.
- These terms included various developmental and health problems, indicating the need for a multifaceted approach to manage malnutrition, focusing on prevention, education, and improved healthcare practices.
