Utilization and cost impact of integrating substance abuse treatment and primary care.

TLDR
The findings for the full sample suggest that integrating substance abuse treatment with primary care, may not be necessary or appropriate for all patients, but it may be beneficial to refer patients with substance abuse related medical conditions to a provider also trained in addiction medicine.

Generalized Linear Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the analysis of variance is given for these models using log- likelihoods, illustrated by examples relating to four distributions; the Normal, Binomial (probit analysis, etc.), Poisson (contingency tables), and gamma (variance components).

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models

TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.
