connect with Health and Social Services. This web-based approach builds on
the strengths of people and families to determine their support needs. Within the Webhealth website is Linkage. Linkage is a
partnership between an NGO, Pathways; primary health care, Pinnacle; and a
secondary provider/hospital, Health Waikato. It offers early intervention
services with a “one stop shop” in central Hamilton and New Plymouth.

This page indexes documents from a policy briefing convened by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, at which they released ".... a new survey of the states showing that as states struggle with their worst fiscal crisis since World War II, health coverage for low-income families may be at risk. The report finds that state actions in the past several years to simplify enrollment procedures and expand eligibility for coverage may have plateaued with some actions a harbinger of future problems." See the news release, the executive summary, the full report (Preserving Recent Progress for Health Coverage of Children and Parents: New Tensions Emerge), The Health Insurance Status of Low-Income Children and Their Parents: Recent Trends in Coverage and State-Level Data, and earlier, related documents (all in Adobe Acrobat format).

Story at ClinnixPro.net, based on research published in the Archives of General Psychiatry - "Most adult mental disorders are preceded by their juvenile counterparts, according to researchers from the UK, the US, and New Zealand, and this could affect strategies for reducing psychiatric disorders in the population. Julia Kim-Cohen, from the Institute of Psychiatry in London, and colleagues from the University of Wisconsin in the US, and the University of Otago in New Zealand, followed back 1,037 people participating in the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a prospective longitudinal study based in Dunedin, New Zealand." The full article is only available for a fee, but there is an abstract at the Archives of General Psychiatry web site.
