Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: How do policies adopted through the administrative branch diffuse? Recent developments in policy adoption demonstrate that policy adoption includes a great deal of policy emulation, whereby states adopt policies already adopted by states with similar characteristics. In this paper I propose to apply the dyadic approach (as in Volden 2005, 2006) to analyze the determinants of state policy adoptions of pain management policies intended to improve the quality of end-of-life care. Pain management policies for end of life care are set by state medical boards authorized by officials in this area and have been shown to depend on characteristics of state medical boards, including the number of non-physician members and the number of legal counsel available (see, e.g., Imhof 2006, Boehmke 2006). Studying the diffusion of pain management policy from 1988-2002, measured by the presence or absence of seven specific indicators, using a dyadic approach allows me to extend these studies by determining whether state medical boards tend to look at the decisions made by similar boards or whether their decisions are independent of external factors.
