Overview of Results. Based on the LCA activities in the 18 member countries the Task 19 estimated the LCA based environmental effects of the worldwide electric vehicle fleet in 2014 in 33 countries. In a LCA of these vehicles using the different national framework conditions the environmental effects are estimated by assessing the possible ranges of environmental effects. Based on the emission inventory of CO2, CH4, N2O, CO, NMVOC, SO2, NOx, and PM the potential effects on greenhouse effect, acidification, ozone formation, and particles are estimated. The reference case is 54 xxx.xxxxxx.xxx CHAPTER 7 – LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES (TASK 19) the substitution of modern conventional ICE vehicles (of which 50 % are gasoline and 50 % diesel). The environmental effects of the electricity for the EVs are estimated on the current national electricity production in the 33 considered countries including grid transmission and distribution, and vehicle charging infrastructure. Additionally, for some selected countries, a scenario with all additional installed renewable electricity from PV and wind is dedicated for use by the EVs. The details (e.g. data, assumption, methodology) of the following results were published in two conference papers:
Overview of Results. The following section reports the descriptive statistics and the logistic and multinomial regression results across 15 years from 1999 to 2013. There has been steady growth in the female Medicaid population with CHD in the state of Georgia in the years 1999 to 2013. Women with CHD who were diagnosed with PMD living in the most rural areas are significantly less likely to use psychotherapy, compared to their urban counterparts. This disparity in utilization persisted even after accounting for geographic access to Medicaid accepting providers. Descriptive Results Initial descriptive statistics represent trends over time in the growth of the female Medicaid population with CHD, those experiencing a delivery, and those experiencing a delivery with a PMD diagnosis. These trends were determined in order gain a better understanding of the larger chronological context and illuminate possible driving factors for levels of delivery and PMD in this population. Further descriptive statistics report characteristics of the sample population across urban and rural counties. The characteristics include predisposing, enabling, and need factors including; race/ethnicity, birth outcome, maternal age, Medicaid eligibility categories, and number of children at the individual level and median household income, percent of female headed households, and MHPSA designation at the contextual level. 40000 35000 Number of Medicaid Beneficiaries 30000 25000 20000 15000 10000 5000 0 Years Graph 1: Female CHD Medicaid Beneficiaries in Georgia 1999-2013 Source: The Emory Adolescent and Adult Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Program Data Repository, Medicaid Analytic Extract (MAX) files (1999-2013) Graph 1 shows the increase in the number of female Medicaid beneficiaries with CHD in the state of Georgia from 1999-2013, with 12,510 beneficiaries in 1999 and 35,881 beneficiaries in 2013, an almost 35% increase.
