A thread with some clear data on MAiD: #cdnpoli
Recipients of MAiD were younger, had higher income, were substantially less likely to reside in an institution and were more likely to be married than decedents from the general population, suggesting that MAiD is unlikely to be driven by social or economi

Early experience with MAID in Ontario. 2241 recipients from 2016-2018 were mostly elderly, community-living with cancer, neurodegenerative disease or end-organ failure in their final months of life. By @jamesdownar et al. 1/5 https://t.co/3SJIcalJuv
@Gail_Nestel If loneliness were a substantial driver, why are married people MORE likely to request MAID, and widowed people LESS likely to request MAID? https://t.co/l2wIE2yqtK Similar numbers seen elsewhere in the world.

@EmmMacfarlane A person using MAID due to lack of social supports is tragic --and rare. Records show that those who choose MAID tend to be higher income. Still, ensuring that MAID is never an economic decision entails adding more supports, not removing the
@Ghillie_Guide @marionh94109394 @InclusionCA Where is your comparator? In Ontario- 24.8% of decedents are LTC residents, but only 4.8% of MAID recipients are LTC residents. So LTC residents are 80% less likely than population average to receive MAID. htt

@marionh94109394 @clinkshrink @ThaddeusPope @iamalsorg @alsnewstoday Actually, loneliness and isolation is pretty rare among MAID requestors. Only 17% in Canada. And MAID recipients in Ontario were more likely to be married, less likely to be widowed or si
@spectator @IsobelBall5 On the contrary, this study of MAiD found that, compared with all Ontario decedents, MAiD recipients more likely to be from a higher income quintile (24.9% v. 15.6%) as well as more likely to be married (48.5% v. 40.6%). https://t.c
Hmm. COVID mortality rates in 🇨🇦 were LOWER than 🇺🇸 among LTC residents AND community-residing seniors. 10.1016/j.jamda.2020.08.039 🇨🇦 MAID recipients ~80% less likely to be institutionalized than decedent average. https://t.co/XMeVb2G1uH @theWesleyJSm

Umm...no. ~50% of 🇨🇦 are seen by a PC MD before they die. https://t.co/LrQzSfa2kv This doesn't include those seen by PC NPs, often in rural areas. >80% of MAID recipients are seen by PC clinicians, so this isnt the driver for MAID. https://t.co/l2wIE2x
Since MAID became legal in 2016, we now have enough data to begin looking at what's happening in Canada. First, @jamesdownar looked at 2241 MAID recipients in Ontario between 2016-18 and concluded they were "younger and had higher income" than average. ht

@marionh94109394 @mimday This is a repetitive argument that you constantly use with antidotal points yet you constantly fail to provide empirical evidence e.g https://t.co/yojtsRQQph
@CarlynZwaren @NaheedD I acknowledge the potential, but data shows the opposite- high SES, independent living, good involvement and access to services. The driver is existential distress, not despair or a lack of options. https://t.co/L01aYaBCAF https://t
@NancyBepple https://t.co/Q6L00sBV6z answers some of your questions
7/ I appreciate that some are opposed to legalizing MAID, but two recent reports make it very clear that MAID is not being driven by financial issues or lack of supports. https://t.co/L01aYaBCAF and https://t.co/FqxVMrFqbq
Concerns about who requests MAiD prompted this study, which revealed greater physical and psychological suffering reported by #MAiD requestors, even when #palliative care was involved. https://t.co/gJry87zoXS https://t.co/Fs9uW7CPHZ
@whaeapower This is interesting in what has happened in Canada. It's not definitive, as it says, but it shows that most people accessing it are not in the vulnerable demographic. But there's no denying inequity in health. https://t.co/LF0fjphjqx
