Emergency managers are being asked to carry out new missions-in particular, public health preparedness and response (as shown during the 2019 coronavirus pandemic), as well as addressing the consequences of increasingly frequent and severe weather events. As a result, and based on the insight that many emergency management approaches apply across all types of disasters, the field is moving toward an expanded all-hazards approach. As one step toward understanding these changes and charting a path forward for emergency management, the authors of this study assess the current state of thinking about the field by conducting literature reviews and analyses of both scholarly and practitioner-oriented sources, aggregating top issues in the field, identifying priorities for a research agenda, and suggesting ways for practitioners and researchers to engage with and learn from each other. While the study includes key findings and recommendations for emergency management going forward, it also serves as a pilot for a regular review of current issues in the emergency management field.","PeriodicalId":74637,"journal":{"name":"Rand health quarterly","volume":"12 3","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12218358/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Practices are deemed evidence-based because they have demonstrated their effectiveness in addressing various social and health-related challenges. Federal agencies often invest in EBP delivery through discretionary grants, but there is limited guidance on how to optimize these grants to support large-scale EBP implementation. To address this gap, the authors held focus groups with federal and state agency officials (using the findings from ongoing RAND research to frame their discussions) to gather and synthesize their recommendations on how to optimize federal grantmaking for EBP implementation. With the focus group participants, the authors identified seven policy recommendations for federal officials to consider when designing, awarding, and executing grants for EBP implementation, including capacity-building in service delivery organizations to sustain EBPs after grant funding ends. The authors also present real-world case examples to illustrate how funding agencies have put each recommendation into practice.","PeriodicalId":74637,"journal":{"name":"Rand health quarterly","volume":"12 3","pages":"2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12218371/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Assessing the Needs of Military-Connected Children and Resources to Address Those Needs.","authors":"Laurie T Martin, Thomas E Trail, Jennifer Jeffries","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"There is a growing concern around the mental and behavioral health of children and youth as such conditions as anxiety disorders, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct disorders affect almost one in five children and youth ages 3 to 17. The coronavirus pandemic brought many challenges: Children missed years of in-person schooling and socialization, experienced increased social isolation, and developed an overreliance on technology and social media to stay connected, entertained, and participate in online schooling. Collectively, studies suggest that children and youth have experienced, and will continue to experience, a wide variety of mental and behavioral health concerns that can affect their academic performance, social interactions, well-being, and overall quality of life. In addition to the general stresses and strains in the lives of children and youth, military-connected children and youth face distinct challenges-such as family separation and frequent moves-that can directly or indirectly affect children's mental health and exacerbate an already stressful time in their development. To help inform an ongoing commitment to military-connected children and youth, the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy asked RAND to assess the needs of military-connected children in the context of military child development centers, military youth programs, and schools with a significant military child population. This study provides findings from this mental and behavioral health needs assessment.","PeriodicalId":74637,"journal":{"name":"Rand health quarterly","volume":"12 3","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12218359/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test is substantially different from the previous test and consists of six events intended to measure a more expansive set of capabilities: muscular strength and endurance, power, speed, agility, aerobic endurance, balance, flexibility, coordination, and reaction time. One of the Army's stated goals for the test was to reduce preventable injuries. More than half of soldiers experienced a new injury in 2021, so success in reducing the risk of injury could have a significant impact on both medical costs and lost workdays. Because the ACFT has been administered for a relatively short period, there are limited data available to assess the relationship between the ACFT and soldier health and injuries. Nevertheless, this research effort used available data to gain initial insights into this relationship. This study was part of RAND's independent assessment of the ACFT, focusing specifically on injury risk. To the extent that broader, more-holistic training is motivated by the more-expansive physical requirements of the ACFT, the literature suggests that the ACFT could in the long term lead to an overall reduction in injury rates. Many of the authors' recommendations focus on potential ACFT policy actions that the Army could take to help reduce preventable injuries and assess and monitor soldiers at risk.","PeriodicalId":74637,"journal":{"name":"Rand health quarterly","volume":"12 3","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12218373/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"\"Society Needs to Know How We Feel\": Understanding Anti-Asian Hate Experiences and Service Barriers Among Chinese Older Adults in Los Angeles County, California.","authors":"Lu Dong, Stacey Yi, Jennifer Bouey, Eunice C Wong","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"In response to the increase in anti-Asian hate, the California State Legislature allocated $110 million in 2021 over three years to fund its Stop the Hate Program, which supports community-based organizations (CBOs) that offer direct services to victims and survivors of hate incidents and hate crimes, as well as prevention and intervention services to combat hate within communities in California. Although this funding was not limited to the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, California's Stop the Hate Program was nevertheless a first-of-its-kind investment in AAPI communities throughout the state and is a significant move toward achieving equity for all residents of the state. With Stop the Hate funding, CBOs provide wide-ranging programs and services, including prevention and direct services, to community members who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing acts of hate. This study examines direct services provided to victims of hate and their families. RAND's community partner in this study, the Chinatown Service Center (CSC), is particularly concerned about older Chinese and Chinese American adults who are not using their Stop the Hate mental health services. Because of the surge in anti-Asian hate-to which older adults are particularly vulnerable-and the limited understanding around perceptions of mental health service use in the context of this surge, the authors focus on mental health services intended to help victims of anti-Asian hate incidents among older Asian American adults-and specifically older Chinese and Chinese American adults-in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":74637,"journal":{"name":"Rand health quarterly","volume":"12 2","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11916085/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, many policies and programs have been put in place to support veterans and improve their access to needed services. Despite these efforts, prevalence rates for physical and mental health problems and concerns about the health and overall well-being of veterans remain high. Because the specific needs of veterans and the barriers to accessing care likely differ across areas, data at the state level are critical for tailoring policies and programs to make them more effective. This study focuses on veterans in New York, specifically individuals discharged or separated from the military between January 2018 and January 2023. The authors analyzed responses from 1,122 veterans to a survey designed to assess the mental and physical health of this cohort of veterans and their access to, and experiences with, health care and other veteran services. The findings of this study will be of particular interest to policymakers, veterans' advocacy groups, and health care providers who are involved in the design and delivery of services for veterans. Additionally, researchers and academics focusing on social and economic well-being, public health, and veteran affairs will find the data and conclusions useful for further studies.","PeriodicalId":74637,"journal":{"name":"Rand health quarterly","volume":"12 2","pages":"12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11916079/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medical, financial, legal, and social service providers who come into contact with older adults can be well positioned to identify persons at risk for or experiencing elder mistreatment and connect them with service providers to address their needs. However, these service providers require tools and training to identify elder mistreatment. Once victims or at-risk individuals are identified, there are also challenges with how best to intervene and provide victims with effective support and services. To explore these challenges and potential solutions, RAND and RTI International convened an expert panel in 2023 to identify knowledge and resource gaps and explore strategies to improve the identification of and responses to elder mistreatment. The workshop participants identified the highest-priority needs in this area, including research to support evidence-based, holistic, and culturally appropriate approaches, while also supporting the widespread adoption of effective programs to reach the greatest number of older adults who have been victimized.","PeriodicalId":74637,"journal":{"name":"Rand health quarterly","volume":"12 2","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11916090/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
