In 2013, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) embarked on a pioneering effort to advance Culture of Health initiative. A places well-being at center every aspect life, with goal enabling everyone in our diverse society lead healthier lives. To implement this vision, RWJF worked RAND develop an action framework that identifies how nation will work toward achieving these outcomes.
Despite numerous studies on general human–robot interactions, in the context of transportation, automated vehicle (AV)–human driver interaction is not a well-studied subject. These vehicles have fundamentally different decision-making logic compared with human drivers and driving interactions between AVs humans can potentially change traffic flow dynamics. Accordingly, through an experimental study, this paper investigates whether there difference human–human human–AV road. This study...
The recent emphasis on preparedness has created heightened expectations and raised questions about the extent to which U.S. public health systems have evolved in years. This paper describes how is transforming agencies. Key signs of change include new partnerships, changes workforce, technologies, evolving organizational structures. Each these elements had some positive impact health; however, integration with other functions remains challenging. mission also challenges areas leadership,...
Improving preparedness in the European region requires a clear understanding of what Union (EU) member states should be able to do, whether acting internally or cooperation with each other EU and multilateral organizations. We have developed logic model that specifies aims objectives public health preparedness, as well response capabilities capacities needed achieve them. The capabilities, which describe ability effectively use identify, characterize, respond emergencies, are organized into...
In recent years, mass-casualty incidents (MCIs) have become more frequent and deadly, while emergency department (ED) crowding has grown steadily worse widespread. The ability of hospitals to implement an effective surge plan, immediately expertly, therefore never been important. Yet, exercises tend be highly choreographed, pre-scheduled events that provide limited insight into hospitals' true capacity respond a no-notice event under real-world conditions. To address this gap, the US...
Civic engagement, including voting, volunteering, and participating in civic organizations, is associated with better psychological, physical behavioral health well-being. In addition, engagement increasingly viewed (e.g., Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Culture of Health action framework) as a potentially important driver for raising awareness addressing unhealthy conditions communities. As such, it to understand the factors that may promote particular focus on less-understood, or...

A number of scientific publications and commentaries have suggested that standard preparedness indices such as the Global Health Security Index (GHSI) Joint External Evaluation (JEE) scores did not predict COVID-19 outcomes. To some, failure these metrics to be predictive demonstrates need for a fundamental reassessment which better aligns measurement with operational capacities in real-world stress situations, including points at coordination structures decision-making may fail. There are,...
Identify lessons about the public health emergency preparedness system from after action report/improvement plans (AAR/IPs) authored by state and local departments following 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic.Potentially generalizable findings were collected during a workshop attended representatives Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC), departments, other organizations that prepared H1N1AAR/IPs.Workshop participants included department personnel who had submitted AAR/IPs to CDC...
Abstract Behavioral economics is based on the idea that individuals’ decisions are affected by systematic and predictable cognitive biases these same can be leveraged to change behavior improve decision-making. Insights from behavioral have been used encourage a range of desired behaviors but rarely in disaster preparedness response, though traditional efforts public health practitioners failed increase adoption key behaviors. In this work, we aim show how some concepts literature applicable...
Hurricane Maria magnified Puerto Rico's fragile system for delivering social, behavioral, and environmental health services, which were evidenced by chronic disease burdens, demographic transitions, unmet needs. The recovery plan outlines action strategies building a robust infrastructure, strengthening the care workforce, expanding social service capacity, investing in healthy communities.
Health departments use after-action reports to collect data on their experience in responding actual public health emergencies. To address deficiencies the of such revealed 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and develop an effective approach learning from emergencies, we sought understand how concept operations a "critical incident registry," commonly used other industries, could be adapted for emergency preparedness. We conducted workshop with researchers practitioners, reviewed literature rare...
As an alternative to standard quality improvement approaches and commonly used after action report/improvement plans, we developed tested a peer assessment approach for learning from singular public health emergencies. In this approach, departments engage peers analyze critical incidents, with the goal of aiding organizational within across emergency preparedness systems. We systematically reviewed literature in area, formed practitioner advisory panel help translate these methods into...
In Brief Objective: To analyze key variations in the after action report/improvement plan (AAR/IP) process used by state and local health departments following 2009 H1N1 pandemic identify ideas for improving that process. Design: Workshop participants discussed their AAR findings methods to prepare reports implications AAR/IP future events. Participants: included department personnel who had submitted AAR/IPs Centers Disease Control Prevention (CDC) review. Measures: were asked consider...
