Peer reviewedSmith, Gary; And Others – Mental Retardation, 1996
Statistics are analyzed from 1990 to 1996 concerning the fading of Medicaid's bias toward institutionalization of individuals with mental retardation rather than use of Home and Community-Based (HCB) waivers for alternative community services and support. A major shift toward increased use of HCB waivers is noted and documented state by state. (PB)
