Inter-professional Education for Collaboration:
Learning How to
Improve Health from Inter-professional Models Across the
Continuum of Education to Practice
This document summarizes a report published by the Institute of Medicine about preventing and controlling hypertension through population-based policy and systems changes. The report was produced by the Committee on Public Health Priorities to Reduce and Control Hypertension in the U.S. Population and the Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice. It provides recommendations for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on implementing strategies targeting communities and healthcare systems to address hypertension at a population level.
Bullying—long tolerated as just a part of growing up—finally has been recognized as a substantial and preventable health problem. Bullying is associated with anxiety, depression, poor school performance, and future
delinquent behavior among its targets, and reports regularly surface of youth who have committed suicide at least in part because of intolerable bullying. Bullying can also have harmful effects on children who bully, on
bystanders, on school climates, and on society at large. Bullying can occur at all ages, from before elementary school to after high school. It can take the form of physical violence, verbal attacks, social isolation, spreading
rumors, or cyber bullying.
Increased concern about bullying has led 49 states and the District of Columbia to enact anti-bullying legislation since 1999. In addition, researchon the causes, consequences, and prevention of bullying has expanded greatly in recent decades. However, major gaps still exist in the understanding of bullying and of interventions that can prevent or mitigate the effectsof bullying.
This publication examines reviewed research on bullying
prevention and intervention efforts as well as efforts in related areas of research and practice, implemented in a range of contexts and settings, including
• Schools
• Peers
• Families
• Communities
• Laws and Public Policies
• Technology

Introduction to Robust Net-Centric Services. These are services with a high degree of resilience even when faced with a comprehensive array of faults and/or challenges and inherently capable of reacting gracefully to both internal application changes as well as external environmental changes, all without impacting information exchange.
Combined with the more traditional employer occupational safety and health protection activities are newer employment-based programs to promote better health through helping workers quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or exercise more regularly. In support of these efforts, some employers have made changes in their policies and facilities to support physical activity and healthier eating, and some employers connect with ommunity resources for health education, health fairs, and
other services. From company to company, the interest in, resources for, and ability to do more for employee health and well-being vary. Employees’ interest in, needs for, and priorities for these types of programs also vary.
Businesses across the nation are involved in every aspect of their communities and the economy and can be powerful partners in terms of improving the health of the nation, said George Isham, a senior advisor at HealthPartners, Inc., a senior fellow at the HealthPartners Institute for Education and Research, and a co-chair of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Population Health Improvement. On July 30, 2014, the IOM roundtable held a workshop at the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) in New York City to consider the role of business in improving population health beyond the usual worksite wellness and health promotion activities.
In welcoming participants to NYAM, the academy’s president, Jo Ivey Boufford, said that economic development is a crucial factor in achieving population health and that there are many opportunities to create win–win situations for business to promote population health in the communities where they live and serve. She added that in New York State business has been a fundamental
part of a large, multi-stakeholder group that is implementing a prevention agenda for the state and helping communities to identify and address priority needs.

Despite spending far more on medical care than any other nation and despite having seen a century of unparalleled improvement in population health and longevity, the United States has fallen behind many of its global counterparts and competitors in such health outcomes as overall life expectancy and rates of preventable diseases and
injuries.
A fundamental but often overlooked driver of the imbalance
between spending and outcomes is the nation’s inadequate investment in nonclinical strategies that promote health and prevent disease and injury population-wide, strategies that fall under the rubric of “population
health.
This document provides an overview of a workshop on building capacity to reduce bullying. The workshop, organized by the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, brought together representatives from different sectors involved in bullying prevention. Presenters discussed research on effective bullying prevention programs in schools, with peers, families, communities, and online. Student and school personnel panels also shared perspectives. The goal was to identify successful conceptual models and interventions, discuss how to increase protective factors for youth, and explore appropriate roles for different groups in prevention. Over 200 people participated via webcast. The workshop aimed to help address the substantial public health problem of bullying and close remaining knowledge gaps.
Abstract
Approximately 20 percent of Americans are affected by mental health and substance use
disorders, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While the evidence
base for the effectiveness of interventions to treat these disorders is sizable, a considerable gap
exists between what is known to be effective and interventions that are actually delivered in
clinical care. Addressing this quality chasm in mental health and substance use care is
particularly critical given the recent passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which are changing the delivery of
care and access to treatments for mental health and substance use disorders. Increasing
emphasis on accountability and performance measurement, moreover, will require strategies to
promote and measure the quality of psychosocial interventions.
In this report, the study committee develops a framework that can be used to chart a path
toward the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes of psychosocial interventions for those with
mental health and substance use disorders. This framework identifies the key steps entailed in
successfully bringing an evidence-based psychosocial intervention into clinical practice. It
highlights the need to (1) support research to strengthen the evidence base on the efficacy and
effectiveness of psychosocial interventions; (2) based on this evidence, identify the key elements
that drive an intervention’s effect; (3) conduct systematic reviews to inform clinical guidelines
that incorporate these key elements; (4) using the findings of these systematic reviews, develop
quality measures—measures of the structure, process, and outcomes of interventions; and
(5) establish methods for successfully implementing and sustaining these interventions in regular
practice including the training of providers of these interventions. The committee intends for this
framework to be an iterative one, with the results of the process being fed back into the evidence
base and the cycle beginning anew. Central to the framework is the importance of using the
consumer perspective to inform the process.
The recommendations offered in this report are intended to assist policy makers, health
care organizations, and payers that are organizing and overseeing the provision of care for
mental health and substance use disorders while navigating a new health care landscape. The
recommendations also target providers, professional societies, funding agencies, consumers, and
researchers, all of whom have a stake in ensuring that evidence-based, high-quality care is
provided to individuals receiving mental health and substance use services.
The Joint Commission establishes National Patient Safety Goals to improve safety and reduce risks of harm in healthcare settings. One such goal is targeted medication management to prevent errors like administering the wrong drug. Meeting safety goals requires systems to reliably identify patients, clearly label medications, and check for allergies and interactions. Reducing medication errors improves outcomes and is a priority for quality improvement.

FORUM ON INVESTING IN YOUNG
CHILDREN GLOBALLY OVERVIEW
In January 2014, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC), in
collaboration with the IOM Board on Global Health, launched the Forum
on Investing in Young Children Globally (forum). At this meeting, the
participants agreed to focus on creating and sustaining, over 3 years, an
evidence-driven community of stakeholders that aims to explore existing,
new, and innovative science and research from around the world and
translate this evidence into sound and strategic investments in policies
and practices that will make a difference in the lives of children and their

Subjective well-being refers to how people experience and evaluate their lives and specific domains and activities in their lives. This information has already proven valuable to researchers, who have produced insights about the emotional states and experiences of people belonging to different groups, engaged in different activities, at different points in the life course, and involved in different family and community structures. Research has also revealed relationships between people's self-reported, subjectively assessed states and their behavior and decisions. Research on subjective well-being has been ongoing for decades, providing new information about the human condition. During the past decade, interest in the topic among policy makers, national statistical offices, academic researchers, the media, and the public has increased markedly because of its potential for shedding light on the economic, social, and health conditions of populations and for informing policy decisions across these domains.
This document summarizes a guidebook published by the National Academies Press titled "On Being a Scientist: A Guide to Responsible Conduct in Research." The guidebook provides an overview of professional standards and ethics in scientific research. It is intended to help early career researchers learn proper conduct, as many no longer learn solely through experience. The changing nature of science also presents new challenges to upholding standards. Experienced researchers must continue serving as role models and mentors for upholding integrity.
The document summarizes the Be-Above the Influence (BE-ATI) curriculum that was delivered to over 2,400 high school students in Albuquerque Public Schools. It discusses how the curriculum aims to reduce underage drinking by educating youth about the effects of alcohol on the developing brain. It also briefly profiles the partner organization SafeTeen New Mexico, describing it as a youth-driven nonprofit that creates programs on issues like underage drinking, drugs, and dating violence to educate over 5 million people since 2001.
Prevention programs should address risk and protective factors, tailor interventions to the specific risks and population, and enhance protective factors like family bonding. Effective programs provide parenting skills, teach families how to develop and enforce drug policies, and give parents drug education to discuss with their children. School-based programs can intervene early to address risk factors for drug abuse.
This report summarizes youth risk and resiliency survey data from 31 New Mexico counties on alcohol use among middle and high school students between 2009-2015. The data shows declines over time in ever drinking alcohol, binge drinking, drinking before age 11 and current alcohol use among students.

Albert Einstein indeed stands like a giant amid the pantheon of scientific figures of the twentieth century. His ideas unleashed a revolution whose changes are still being felt into the new century.
This day and age we’re living in Give cause for apprehension With speed and new invention And things like fourth dimension Yet we get a trifle weary With Mr. Einstein’s theory So we must get down to earth at times Relax, relieve the tension And no matter what the progress Or what may yet be proved The simple facts of life are such They cannot be removed You must remember this A kiss is just a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by. . .

This document analyzes the affordability of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1950 to 2011. It finds that alcohol has become dramatically more affordable over this period due to declines in real prices. The percentage of mean disposable income required to purchase one drink per day of the cheapest spirits brand fell from 4.46% in 1950 to 0.29% in 2011. Affordability of popular beer and wine brands also increased substantially. Reduced federal and state alcohol tax rates, which were not adjusted for inflation, were a major driver of the declines in real prices and increases in affordability. Higher and indexed tax rates could help mitigate further declines in prices and increases in affordability.

Research shows that online tools can successfully help individuals adopt healthy behaviors and manage chronic illnesses through personalized support, tracking, and social connection.
The document outlines several new federal initiatives impacting substance abuse prevention work:
1) The new National Drug Control Policy aims to create a national prevention system and get treatment interventions to those who need it through primary care and the criminal justice system.
2) A new IOM report recommends intervening earlier, using broad prevention approaches across developmental phases, and incorporating risk screening.
3) SAMHSA's 10 strategic initiatives include creating prevention communities, reducing trauma and justice system involvement, supporting military families, and expanding health coverage and evidence-based practices.
The document discusses the interdisciplinary science of prevention. It notes that prevention utilizes theories from psychology, sociology, public health, and environmental sciences. It outlines several core prevention models including SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework, the Institute of Medicine model, and risk and protective factors theory. The document also discusses the National Prevention Strategy, SAMHSA's regional prevention centers and online registry of interventions called NREPP.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
