Summary

Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) are twice as likely to move residences compared to those without mental illness or with inflammatory bowel disease. Mobility determinants include marital status, income, and physician use, impacting housing and health services planning.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Psychiatry
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Severe mental illness (SMI) and severe physical illness cohorts exhibit distinct patterns of residential mobility.
  • Understanding residential mobility is crucial for equitable health service planning and housing access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the residential mobility of individuals with SMI (schizophrenia) against control groups with no mental illness and severe physical illness (inflammatory bowel disease).
  • To identify demographic, socioeconomic, and health service use factors influencing residential mobility in these cohorts.
  • To analyze rural-to-rural and rural-to-urban migration patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized population-based administrative data linking health service use with longitudinal postal code information over a 3-year period.

  • Compared mobility rates and migration types (rural-to-rural, rural-to-urban) across three cohorts: SMI, no mental illness, and inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Examined demographic, socioeconomic, and health service utilization as predictors of mobility.

    • Main Results:

    • The SMI cohort demonstrated twice the odds of residential change compared to the no mental illness and inflammatory bowel disease cohorts.
    • No significant differences in rural-to-rural or rural-to-urban migration were observed among the cohorts.
    • Marital status, income quintile, and physician utilization consistently predicted mobility across groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Individuals with SMI exhibit significantly higher residential mobility, posing challenges for consistent healthcare access and housing stability.
    • Health service planning must consider the heightened mobility of SMI populations to ensure continuity of care and appropriate housing solutions.
    • Socioeconomic factors and healthcare engagement are key determinants influencing residential changes, highlighting areas for targeted support.
