Annotation	Hierarchical logistic regression was used with the results of a factorial vignette survey of a US national sample of case managers for disabled older people in Medicaid home- and community-based services waiver programmes. The effect of client, case manager and agency factors on case managers' out-of-home placement decisions in response to hypothetical case studies were estimated. Results show that client preferences, work-load and division of labour affect the probability that a case manager will recommend an out-of-home placement, controlling for the client's physical and cognitive disability and the available resources.
