Shediac MC, Dievler A. 1993. Sustainability of primary care demonstration projects: End of year 1 report. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University, Child and Adolescent Health Policy Center, ca. 50 pp.

Annotation: This report describes the effect of changing funding streams on six Title V primary care demonstration projects initiated in Pennsylvania in the 1960s. These Children and Youth Projects (C and Ys) were part of a nationwide effort to establish comprehensive health services for children living in low-income areas. The report details what happened to these programs when the Pennsylvania Department of Health switched to a capitation-based, case-coordinated primary health services model referred to as Children's Access to Primary Services (CHAPS). The new model was chosen to eliminate overlapping funding, to increase access to care, and to ensure accountability. Discussion of the concept of sustainability and of research into program continuation is included along with the questionnaire used in surveying the projects.
