In this paper, we examine the effect of a major health care reform in Massachusetts on a broad set of financial outcomes using credit report data. We exploit variation in the impact of the reform across counties and age groups using pre-reform insurance coverage as a measure of the potential effect of the reform. We find that the reform reduced the amount of debt that was past due, improved credit scores, reduced personal bankruptcies and reduced third-party collections. Our results show that health care reform has implications that extend well beyond the health of those who gain insurance coverage.

Initial state:
Data was collected from a network of computers running OpenICE software. One MacOS computer was running an OpenICE supervisor with four BeagleBone computers running Debian linux were connected to medical devices: one each to a Puritan-Bennet 840 ventilator, a Philips MP70 patient monitor, a Draeger Apollo anesthesia machine, and a Philps MX800 patient monitor. A Windows 7 PC was also connected to the network and used both to monitor and to capture network data. The Puritan-Bennet 840 ventilator was running connected to a Michigan Lung test lung, the Philips MX800 patient monitor, running in demo mode, was connected to a Fluke Test and Measurement System. The MP70 was turned on with no patient connected, and the Draeger Apollo was turned off but with an active BeagleBone network interface connected.
The Puritan-Bennet 840 ventilator was running connected to a Michigan Instruments' 5600i Dual Adult Training and Test Lung, the Philips MX800 patient monitor was running in demo mode where it transmits a typical set of vital signs provided by Fluke ProSim8 Patient Simulator.

Data file timeline:
Initial: OpenICE executing and connected to the Puritan-Bennet 840 ventilator and the Philips MX800 patient monitor; collecting simulated patient data using OpenICE and network data using Wireshark. The following transitions were estimated to be 2 minutes apart.
1. Disconnect and reconnect BP leads - Right Leg, Left Leg, Left Arm, Right Arm, and VI leads in turn - from Fluke ProSim8 Patient Simulator to create abnormal conditions in patient ECG monitoring.
2. Disconnect Pulse Oximeter Probe from Fluke ProSim8 Patient Simulator to create abnormal conditions in patient SpO2 monitoring.
3. Misalign Pulse Oximeter Probe with the LED sensor on Fluke ProSim8 Patient Simulator to create inaccurate measurements in patient SpO2 monitoring.
4. Disconnect tubing connection between Michigan Instruments' Test Lung and Puritan-Bennet 840 ventilator to create abnormal conditions in patient ventilation.
5. Make a sudden change to the patient lung compliance from 0.09 to 0.1 to create abnormal conditions in patient ventilation.
6. Made a sudden change in Heart Rate to 150 in Fluke ProSim8 Patient Simulator to create abnormal conditions in patient vita sign monitoring.
7. Made a sudden change BP to 250/40 in Fluke ProSim8 Patient Simulator to create abnormal conditions in patient vita sign monitoring.
8. Remove Philips MX800 from the network and then reconnect Philips MX800.
9. Remove Puritan-Bennet 840 Ventilator from the network and then reconnect.

BackgroundPopulation knowledge and attitudes toward obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome are critical to public health initiatives to overcome the disease. Healthcare education is an appropriate approach to expediting the process to build active medical practice models in the public.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding OSA and healthcare education demand among the Chinese general population.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was performed online via Wenjuanxing in China between 8 February and 8 March 2022, using a 34-item questionnaire designed and reviewed by multidisciplinary experts.ResultsThis study enrolled 1507 respondents, aged 18 to 68, with a city-to-countryside ratio of approximately 2:1. Four-fifths of respondents reported that they had children (n = 1237), and mothers accounted for 57.7%. If they or their children had symptoms of OSA, nearly nine in 10 respondents would undertake positive medical practices, especially parents. A total of 89.4% of the respondents reported a desire to receive healthcare education through the new multimedia approach, and most were concerned about the etiology of OSA.ConclusionThe current study indicated that even the higher educated and urban populations in China had insufficient knowledge about positive attitudes toward and practices regarding OSA, indicating an urgent demand for healthcare education. A special emphasis should be placed on appropriating population demand for healthcare education and promoting the benefits of active medical practice models in sleep medicine.

Mental health in the U.S. Mental illness can affect anyone of any age; however, some groups experience more mental illness than others. It is estimated that up to one quarter of the U.S. adult population face some mental illness, with women suffering more than men.

Other mental health variables can compound one another. For example, mental illness and substance use can be especially difficult to diagnose and treat.
