In the final version of the instrument, we thus asked individuals to indicate the number of each type of beneficiary – OVC and PLHA – currently assigned to them and, of these, how many were visited last month (column 3, Table 1).
Other study variables included sex, age of the patient at the index date, site of fracture, type of beneficiary, comorbidity index, prior BMD testing, prior OP treatment, long-term glucocorticoid use, and distance from residence to the nearest BMD device.
The potential patient-level predictors were age category (65 69, 70 74, 75 79, ≥ 80), site of fracture (vertebral, wrist, hip, humerus), type of beneficiary, comorbidity index, prior BMD, prior OP treatment, long-term glucocorticoid use, and finally, for the BMD testing model only, distance in kilometers from residence to the nearest BMD device.
Demographic factors included sex, categorical age (0-17, 18-34, 35-49, 50-64, ≧65), type of beneficiary (insured or dependent), insurance category (based on insured's type of job), residence (three levels with different degrees of population density), and locality (six geographic regions by BNHI's administrative branches: Taipei, Northern, Central, Southern, Kao-Ping, Eastern).
Or do programs fail to adapt the design to respond to the needs of the type of beneficiaries targeted?
The enrollment files contained individual subscription information and demographic factors, including sex, date of birth, type of beneficiaries, and location.
Based on these results, Hyunjung Lee aims to demonstrate how gratitude can affect consumers' desire to benefit different types of beneficiaries.
Other types of beneficiaries approved by the IRS for voluntary contracts might be churches, or other charities.
We observe a wide variation in program effectiveness across different interventions depending on outcomes, types of beneficiaries, and country context.
A few programs have been successful, but they tend to be small, and there is limited knowledge available about design and implementation in different contexts and with different types of beneficiaries.
*: There are two types of beneficiaries: the insured and the dependent.
