p < 0.001. Separate logistic and log linear model (using a gamma distribution) were run within each diagnosis group to predict service use and expenditures, respectively. The models control for sex and race/ethnicity. Omnibus regression models were produced including all subjects to examine the interaction between age and diagnosis. Mean estimates present exponentiated beta coefficients.
