Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude comparative menée dans le cadre d'un programme américain d'assistance aux employés, de la facilité d'accès, la continuité et la qualité des soins offerts par les différents types de services de prise en charge de toxicomanes. L'étude vise l'amélioration de l'efficacité de ces services en proposant, à partir des problèmes / besoins détectés, des conseils concernant le personnel à embaucher, la formation des employés, les choix budgétaires de l'entreprise.
ENGLISH :
Structural measures of access, continuity, and quality of substance misuse treatment services were compared in 30 fee-for-service (FFS) facilities and nine health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Probit models related effects of the provider system (FFS or HMO) and the system's structural characteristics to 243 employees' access to and outcomes from treatment. Access was decreased in Independent Practice Association (IPA)/network HMOs and in all facilities which did not employ an addictionologist or provide coordinated treatment services. A facility's provision of ongoing professional development was positively associated with access. These correlations did not remain significant in the multivariate probits. Implications for employee assistance program (EAP) staff in their role as case managers and for EAP staff and employers in their shared role as purchasers of treatment are discussed.
