ref. A9780309305860Paperback / softback. New. Hurricane- and coastal-storm-related losses have increased substantially during the past century largely due to increases in population and development in the most susceptible coastal areas. Climate change poses additional threats to coastal communities from sea level rise and possible increases in strength of the largest hurricanes. Several large cities in the United States have extensive assets at risk to coastal storms along with countless smaller cities and developed areas. The devastation from Superstorm Sandy has heightened the nation's awareness of these vulnerabilities. What can we do to better prepare for and respond to the increasing risks of loss Reducing Coastal Risk on the East and Gulf Coasts reviews the coastal risk-reduction strategies and levels of protection that have been used along the United States East and Gulf Coasts to reduce the impacts of coastal flooding associated with storm surges. This report evaluates their effectiveness in terms of economic return protection of life safety and minimization of environmental effects. According to this report the vast majority of the funding for coastal risk-related issues is provided only after a disaster occurs. This report calls for the development of a national vision for coastal risk management that includes a long-term view regional solutions and recognition of the full array of economic social environmental and life-safety benefits that come from risk reduction efforts. To support this vision Reducing Coastal Risk states that a national coastal risk assessment is needed to identify those areas with the greatest risks that are high priorities for risk reduction efforts. The report discusses the implications of expanding the extent and levels of coastal storm surge protection in terms of operation and maintenance costs and the availability of resources. Reducing Coastal Risk recommends that benefit-cost analysis constrained by acceptable risk criteria and other important environmental and social factors be used as a framework for evaluating national investments in coastal risk reduction. The recommendations of this report will assist engineers planners and policy makers at national regional state and local levels to move from a nation that is primarily reactive to coastal disasters to one that invests wisely in coastal risk reduction and builds resilience among coastal communities. paperback
ref. A9780309450010Paperback / softback. New. The medical research landscape in the United States is supported by a variety of organizations that spend billions of dollars in government and private funds each year to seek answers to complex medical and public health problems. The largest government funder is the National Institutes of Health NIH followed by the Department of Defense DoD. Almost half of DoDaEURO TMs medical research funding is administered by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs CDMRP. The mission of CDMRP is to foster innovative approaches to medical research in response to the needs of its stakeholdersaEURO"the U.S. military their families the American public and Congress. CDMRP funds medical research to be performed by other government and nongovernmental organizations but it does not conduct research itself. The major focus of CDMRP funded research is the improved prevention diagnosis and treatment of diseases injuries or conditions that affect service members and their families and the general public. The hallmarks of CDMRP include reviewing applications for research funding using a two-tiered review process and involving consumers throughout the process. Evaluation of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs Review Process evaluates the CDMRP two-tiered peer review process its coordination of research priorities with NIH and the Department of Veterans Affairs and provides recommendations on how the process for reviewing and selecting studies can be improved. paperback
ref. A9780309492683Paperback / softback. New. Physical activity has far-reaching benefits for physical mental emotional and social health and well-being for all segments of the population. Despite these documented health benefits and previous efforts to promote physical activity in the U.S. population most Americans do not meet current public health guidelines for physical activity. Surveillance in public health is the ongoing systematic collection analysis and interpretation of outcome-specific data which can then be used for planning implementation and evaluation of public health practice. Surveillance of physical activity is a core public health function that is necessary for monitoring population engagement in physical activity including participation in physical activity initiatives. Surveillance activities are guided by standard protocols and are used to establish baseline data and to track implementation and evaluation of interventions programs and policies that aim to increase physical activity. However physical activity is challenging to assess because it is a complex and multidimensional behavior that varies by type intensity setting motives and environmental and social influences. The lack of surveillance systems to assess both physical activity behaviors including walking and physical activity environments such as the walkability of communities is a critical gap. Implementing Strategies to Enhance Public Health Surveillance of Physical Activity in the United States develops strategies that support the implementation of recommended actions to improve national physical activity surveillance. This report also examines and builds upon existing recommended actions. paperback
