On December 5 2019 the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement of the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine convened a workshop to explore the factors that affect the health and well-being of middle-school-aged adolescents. The workshop included presentations on the risk factors of poor physical social and emotional outcomes and their prevalence; the identification of resilience factors; current policies and programs designed to support middle school success and address issues of equity and financing as they apply to these; and how the health and human services sectors can support and align with the education sector to promote health and well-being in middle school. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions that took place during the workshop. paperback
ref. A9780309678124Paperback / softback. New. Modern software engineering practices pioneered by the commercial software community have begun transforming Department of Defense DoD software development integration processes and deployment cycles. DoD must further adopt and adapt these practices across the full defense software life cycle - and this adoption has implications for software maintenance and software sustainment across the U.S. defense community. Air Force Software Sustainment and Maintenance of Weapons Systems evaluates the current state of software sustainment within the U.S. Air Force and recommends changes to the software sustainment enterprise. This report assesses how software that is embedded within weapon platforms is currently sustained within the U.S. Air Force; identifies the unique requirements of software sustainment; develops and recommends a software sustainment work breakdown structure; and identifies the necessary personnel skill sets and core competencies for software sustainment.

ref. A9780309677028Paperback / softback. New. The United States faces a significantly aging population as well as a growing share of the population that is living longer with multiple chronic conditions. To provide high-quality care to people of all ages living with serious illness it is critical that the nation develop an adequately trained and prepared workforce consisting of a range of professionals including physicians nurses social workers direct care workers and chaplains. To explore some of the key workforce-related challenges to meeting the needs of people with serious illness the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine hosted a workshop on November 7 2019. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

ref. A9780309676809Paperback / softback. New. Electric power is a critical infrastructure that is vital to the U.S. economy and national security. Today the nation's electric power infrastructure is threatened by malicious attacks accidents and failures as well as disruptive natural events. As the electric grid evolves and becomes increasingly interdependent with other critical infrastructures the nation is challenged to defend against these threats and to advance grid capabilities with reliable defenses. On November 1 2019 the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine convened a workshop to gather diverse perspectives on current and future threats to the electric power system activities that the subsector is pursuing to defend itself and how this work may evolve over the coming decades. This publications summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

ref. A9780309484954Paperback / softback. New. Convergence-based research approaches are critical in solving many scientific challenges which frequently draw on large teams of collaborators from multiple disciplines. The 2014 report Convergence: Facilitating Transdisciplinary Integration of Life Sciences Physical Sciences Engineering and Beyond describes the term aEUROoeconvergenceaEURO as a multidisciplinary approach that melds divergent areas of expertise to form conclusions that are inaccessible otherwise. However a convergence-based approach involves hybrid systems of people buildings and instruments which pose complex structural and managerial challenges. In October 23aEURO"24 2018 the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine convened a workshop to explore efforts to promote cultures that support convergence-based approaches to research. The 2014 report served as a foundation for this workshop allowing participants to further explore convergence as a valuable and adaptable approach to organizing research. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. paperback
ref. A9780309675284Paperback / softback. New. The opioid epidemic now several decades in the making continues to cause pain and suffering for millions of Americans. Each year thousands of individuals die from overdose and thousands more grieve from these losses. Opioid use disorder OUD can lead to a complete interruption of day-to-day activities including caring for one's family maintaining a job or career or keeping track of basic necessities such as health care and finances. This report the first in a series of three examines four of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA's grant programs that help alleviate suffering due to opioids and improve treatment quality and access. It offers recommendations about the existing reporting tools used by these programs and and proposes additional metrics and outcomes that should be considered.

ref. A9780309685900Paperback / softback. New. Mood disorders - including depression and bipolar disorder - are common disabling and potentially lethal disorders characterized by a shortened lifespan from comorbid medical illness and rising suicide rates. Medications for these conditions have been shown to be insufficiently effective in the majority of people who take them and there remains a tremendous unmet medical need. Recent advances towards understanding the mechanisms of action for psychiatric medicines have led to the identification of potential novel molecular targets and agents for treating mood disorders. While these promising avenues for further investigation have re-energized scientific research in this area many open questions remain. In response to this interest the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders convened a workshop in March 2021 Novel Molecular Targets for Mood Disorders and Psychosis. The goal of this workshop was to explore the landscape of novel pharmacologic treatments for psychiatric disorders review the challenges and opportunities that have been highlighted by the development of recently approved drugs and reflect on how to apply those lessons learned towards current and future efforts to identify and validate additional novel molecular targets. With a grounding in the personal experiences of patients living with depression and schizophrenia workshop participants discussed the scientific clinical technological regulatory and ethical considerations of this topic. Examples of drug classes discussed in the workshop include antagonists for NMDA N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and GABA gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors as well as modulators for muscarinic and serotonergic receptors. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. paperback

On October 3 2018 the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement of the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine and the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science convened a joint symposium in Washington DC to consider the current state of population health science in the United States. At the symposium speakers and participants reviewed the status of population health in the United States including current trends in health and mortality and racial ethnic and socioeconomic disparities; explored the complexities of policy implementation with attention to evidence generation and to surfacing and mitigating negative unintended consequences of policies for population health; and shared perspectives on finding common ground to move population health forward.
