Substance Use Disorders and Diabetes Care: Lessons From New York Health Homes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals that have both diabetes and substance use disorder (SUD) are more likely to have adverse health outcomes and are less likely to receive high quality diabetes care, compared with patients without coexisting SUD. Care management programs for patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and SUD, have been associated with improvements in the process and outcomes of care.

Objective

The aim was to assess the impact of having coexisting SUD on diabetes process of care metrics.

Research design

Preintervention/postintervention triple difference analysis.

Subjects

Participants in the New York State Medicaid Health Home (NYS-HH) care management program who have diabetes and a propensity-matched comparison group of nonparticipants (N=37,260).
