This study examined service user characteristics and determinants of access for enrollees in integrated EAP/behavioral health versus standard managed behavioral health care plans. A national managed behavioral health care organization's claims data from 2004 were used. Integrated plan service users were more likely to be employees rather than dependents, and to be diagnosed with adjustment disorder. Logistic regression analyses found greater likelihood in integrated plans of accessing behavioral health services (OR 1.20, CI 1.17-1.24), and substance abuse services specifically (OR 1.23, CI 1.06-1.43). Results are consistent with the concept that EAP benefits may increase access and address problems earlier.
本研究考察了综合 EAP/行为健康计划与标准管理式行为健康护理计划中参与者的服务用户特征和获得服务的决定因素。使用了一家全国性管理式行为健康护理组织 2004 年的索赔数据。综合计划的服务用户更有可能是员工而非家属，并且更有可能被诊断为适应障碍。逻辑回归分析发现，在综合计划中，获得行为健康服务（OR1.20，CI1.17-1.24）和特定的物质滥用服务（OR1.23，CI1.06-1.43）的可能性更大。结果与 EAP 福利可能增加获得服务的机会并更早解决问题的概念一致。
