Special Report: Annotated Bibliography for
Managed Behavioral Health Care 1989-1999

Introduction

This publication expands and updates an earlier annotated bibliography on managed behavioral health care edited by Jane Kramer and Saul Feldman, published by SAMHSA. The original bibliography included 250 abstracts that covered the published literature on managed behavioral health over a 5-year period from January 1989 through mid-1994.

The current publication updates the bibliography from mid-1994 through June 1999. The additional documents were located through a search of the journal literature and a scan of a number of organizational Web sites. Bibliographic databases searched to identify journal articles include Medline, HealthStar, Psycinfo, ABI/Inform, Insurance Periodicals Index, and Econlit. Web sites include the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Information, SAMHSA's National Mental Health Information Center, Georgetown University Center for Child Health and Mental Health Policy, Florida Mental Health Institute, American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, National Mental Health Association, Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare, Mathematica Policy Research, R.O.W. Sciences, Westat, Research Triangle Institute, and the Institute for Behavioral Health/CentraLink.

For the reader’s convenience, this report has two indexes: an Author Index and a Keyword Index. Each abstract has keywords listed and corresponds to the Keyword Index at the end. The Keyword Index lists key topics alphabetically, followed by the abstract numbers for the abstracts that contain these topics.
