Disparities in Hospital Services Utilization Among Patients with Mental Health Issues: A Statewide Example Examining Insurance Status and Race Factors from 1999-2010
There exist many disconnects between the mental and general health care sectors. However, a goal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 is to change this by improving insurance access and the intersection of mental and general health care. As insurance status intersects with race, the present study examines how race, insurance status, and hospital mental health services utilization differ across groups within the state of New Jersey. The present study aims to determine trends in hospital mental health care utilization by insurance status and race from 1999 to 2010. The rate of self-pay for mental health disorders in the Black population was significantly higher than the rate for Whites and Asians during this period. However, though Asian mental health utilization increased the most over the 11-year period, the Asian population had the slowest growth in self-pay rates. ANOVA tests demonstrated significant differences in the rate of self-pay mental health cases between race groups (
Evaluating a Methodology for Increasing AI Transparency: A Case Study
In reaction to growing concerns about the potential harms of artificial
intelligence (AI), societies have begun to demand more transparency about how
AI models and systems are created and used. To address these concerns, several
efforts have proposed documentation templates containing questions to be
answered by model developers. These templates provide a useful starting point,
but no single template can cover the needs of diverse documentation consumers.
It is possible in principle, however, to create a repeatable methodology to
generate truly useful documentation. Richards et al. [25] proposed such a
methodology for identifying specific documentation needs and creating templates
to address those needs. Although this is a promising proposal, it has not been
evaluated.
This paper presents the first evaluation of this user-centered methodology in
practice, reporting on the experiences of a team in the domain of AI for
healthcare that adopted it to increase transparency for several AI models. The
methodology was found to be usable by developers not trained in user-centered
techniques, guiding them to creating a documentation template that addressed
the specific needs of their consumers while still being reusable across
different models and use cases. Analysis of the benefits and costs of this
methodology are reviewed and suggestions for further improvement in both the
methodology and supporting tools are summarized
