Factors associated with poor mental health status among homeless women with and without dependent children.
The researchers estimated the prevalence of mental health problems among homeless women as well as the effects of risk factors on those problems. They found that, in a group of 522 homeless women in Toronto, Canada, poor mental health was associated with low perceived access to social support, physical/sexual assault in the past 12 months, presence of a chronic health condition, and presence of a drug use problem.

Claims-based algorithms for identifying Medicare beneficiaries at high estimated risk for coronary heart disease events: a cross-sectional study.
The researchers sought to develop claims-based algorithms to identify individuals at high risk for coronary artery disease (CHD) and to identify low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol among statin users at high risk for CHD events. They found that despite low sensitivity, the high predictive value of their algorithm for high risk for CHD events supports the use of claims to identify Medicare beneficiaries at high risk for CHD events.
