| Annotation | The potential benefits and limits of multilevel hierarchical linear analysis in long-term care research are illustrated, in an assessment of changes in nursing home residents' exposure to and average daily dose of antipsychotic drugs, following the 1987 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act regulations. Findings for more than 8,000 Oregon Medicaid residents in 128 homes from 1991 to 1994 support the general hypothesis that resident characteristics are the main determinants of drug use, and that drug use decreased over time among some resident populations and some facility types.
