武陵源世界自然遗产地导游生态意识研究

以生态旅游的核心内涵、生态导游的双向责任模式系统及生态导游定义为三大理论基础,设计问题对武陵源世界自然遗产地的300名地接导游的生态意识进行了调查,结果表明该地导游生态意识总体处于良好状态,但对生态旅游内涵、本质方面的认识不足。建议政府、学术界及旅游业界从各自的角度为提高导游生态意识做更多的具体努力。     

卫生服务产出的质量调整问题初探

随着医疗技术的持续进步,对卫生服务的产出进行质量调整愈发重要。目前,卫生服务产出的质量调整仍旧处在中国的国民经济核算框架之外,中国还没有卫生服务产出质量调整的理想指标。因此,如何将质量调整指标引入中国的国民经济核算还需要进一步研究。     

OTC药品的风险认知与健康风险决策的分析

自我药疗行为的普及以及OTC药品的市场化,加速了药品的商品化进程。然而,药品的消费行为附带健康风险。本文基于这个假设,提出了混合作用模型,目的是分析消费者选购OTC药品时的健康风险决策的内在机理。通过设定健康关注度和医疗认可度作为个体差异变量、风险框架作为购买状况变量、风险认知作为中介变量,使用线性回归模型和判别回归模型分析个体的药品选择规律。研究发现,在风险框架下,个体的健康关注度、医疗认可度与风险认知存在一定的关系。同时,将风险框架、风险认知、个体因素用来判别消费者的OTC药品选购决策有显著的意义。

高职大学生职业意识训练的研究

人的职业素质受职业意识的影响和制约,因此,职业理想教育和职业道德教育要以职业意识教育为基础,同时职业意识教育为形成职业能力提供了前提条件。而职业意识的培养是可以通过一系列的知识学习和各项训练来完成的,本文就此方面进行了思考与研究。     

Efficiency of health care delivery systems: effects of health insurance coverage

Health insurance expansions may increase the demand for care-creating incentives for health systems to increase input consumption. The possibility remains that added capacity and personnel will have little effect on health outcomes, decreasing the technical efficiency of health care delivery systems. We estimate that a 1 percentage point increase in health insurance coverage decreases the technical efficiency of health care delivery by 1.3 percentage points, translating into approximately 50 billion dollars in additional health expenditures. This finding uncovers a previously unexplored consequence of changes in health insurance on the supply side of health care markets suggesting one avenue through which health care costs growth may occur.     

The Cost of Obesity in the United Kingdom

Summary

This study provides economic information on the costs of obesity in the UK using a modified method of attributable risk to establish the full resource implications of treating obesity and associated diseases. Prevalence estimates of obesity, defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m², together with estimates of the risk of obesity-related diseases relative to a BMI range close to ideal, are used as the basis of the costing. The total costs of treating obesity and its related diseases are estimated at £355 million (in 1995 prices). The total costs of treating obesity directly, estimated at £3.8 million, are dominated by the costs arising from the treatment of attributable diseases, estimated at £351 million.     

Who pays the high health costs of older workers? Evidence from prostate cancer screening mandates

Between 1992 and 2009, 30 US states adopted laws mandating that health insurance plans cover screenings for prostate cancer. Because prostate cancer screenings are used almost exclusively by men over age 50, these mandates raise the cost of insuring older men relative to other groups. This article uses a triple-difference empirical strategy to take advantage of this quasi-random natural experiment in raising the cost of employing older workers. Using Integrated Public Use Microdata Series data from the March Supplement of the Current Population Survey, I find that the increased cost of insuring older workers results in their receiving 2.8% lower hourly wages, being 2% less likely to be employed and being 0.7% less likely to have employer-sponsored health insurance.
