abstract: 'Background Recent work in comparative social epidemiology uses an
expenditures approach to examine the link between welfare states and
population health. More work is needed that examines the impact of
disaggregated expenditures within nations. This study takes advantage of
provincial differences within Canada to examine the effects of
subnational expenditures and a provincial welfare generosity index on
population health.
Methods Time-series cross-sectional data are retrieved from the Canadian
Socio-Economic Information Management System II Tables for 1989-2009 (10
provinces and 21 years=210 cases). Expenditures are measured using 20
disaggregated indicators, total expenditures and a provincial welfare
generosity index, a ombined measure of significant predictors. Health is
measured as total, male and female age-standardised mortality rates per
1000 deaths. Estimation techniques include the Prais-Winsten regressions
with panel-corrected SEs, a first-order autocorrelation correction
model, and fixed-unit effects, adjusted for alternative factors.
Results Analyses reveal that four expenditures effectively reduce
mortality rates: medical care, preventive care, other social services
and postsecondary education. The provincial welfare generosity index has
even larger effects. For an SD increase in the provincial welfare
generosity index, total mortality rates are expected to decline by 0.44
SDs. Standardised effects are larger for women (beta=-0.57, z(19)=-5.70,
p<0.01) than for men (beta=-0.38, z(19)=-5.59, p<0.01).
Conclusions Findings show that the expenditures approach can be
effectively applied within the context of Canadian provinces, and that
targeted spending on health, social services and education has salutary
effects.'
