In this chapter, executive leadership of Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) and Well Being Trust describe the need to move “upstream” in prevention efforts to address opioid and other drug-related deaths. This means addressing the broad social and economic factors that drive substance misuse and addiction, including racism and other forms of discrimination and poverty. TFAH and Well Being Trust’s National Resilience Strategy highlights the causes of “deaths of despair” and promotes prevention efforts that are aligned along a spectrum from early childhood throughout all stages of adulthood. This chapter highlight five major strategies for public health practitioners; focusing on children and their families, assisting adults who may be at elevated risk, incorporating routine screening in multiple settings, supporting community health and social service resource availability and promoting equity in broad terms.

SUMMARYWe used a mathematical model to describe a regional outbreak and extrapolate the underlying health-service resource needs. This model was designed to (i) estimate resource gaps and quantities of resources needed, (ii) show the effect of resource gaps, and (iii) highlight which particular resources should be improved. We ran the model, parameterized with data from the 2009 H1N1v pandemic, for two provinces in Thailand. The predicted number of preventable deaths due to resource shortcomings and the actual resource needs are presented for two provinces and for Thailand as a whole. The model highlights the potentially huge impact of health-system resource availability and of resource gaps on health outcomes during a pandemic and provides a means to indicate where efforts should be concentrated to effectively improve pandemic response programmes.

Plant Community Assembly

Plant clonal spread is ubiquitous and of great interest, owing both to its key role in plant community assembly and its suitability for plant behaviour research. However, mechanisms that govern spreading distance are not well known. Here we link spacer costs and below-ground competition in a simple model of growth in a homogeneous below-ground environment, in which optimal distance between ramets is based on minimizing the sum of these costs. Using this model, we predict a high prevalence of clonal growth that does not employ spacers in resource-poor environments and a nonlinear increase in spreading distance in response to increasing below-ground resource availability. Analysis of database data on clonal growth in relationship to below-ground resource availability revealed that patterns of the spread based on stolons is compatible with the model's predictions. As expected, model prediction failed for rhizomatous species, where spacer sizes are likely to be selected mainly to play roles other than spread. The model's simplicity makes it useful as a null model in testing hypotheses about the effects of environmental heterogeneity on clonal spread.

This paper presents a new approach for the reliability analysis of vehicle systems by considering typical characteristics based on goal-oriented methodology. First, solutions are proposed for vehicle systems with multiple fault modes, a standby structure at any position, a multiple-input closed-loop feedback link, multiple functions, and multiple conditions for the goal-oriented method. Then, a two-level goal-oriented model and the new rules of goal-oriented operation for such vehicle systems are proposed. Furthermore, the quantitative method and the qualitative method are improved. In addition, the analysis process for these vehicle systems based on the new goal-oriented method is formulated. Finally, this new goal-oriented methodology is applied in the dynamic availability analysis and qualitative analysis of the power-shift steering transmission for a heavy military vehicle. In order to verify the feasibility, the advantages, and the correctness of the new goal-oriented methodology, the results are compared with those from fault tree analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. In general, this study not only improves the theory of the goal-oriented method and widens the application of the goal-oriented method but also provides a new reliability analysis method for such vehicle systems. In addition, the analysis process of the new goal-oriented method shows that the goal-oriented method has advantages in system reliability modeling and system reliability analysis for vehicle systems.

The Impact

Stress in caregivers may affect the healthcare recipients receive. We examined the impact of stress experienced by 45 adult caregivers of their elderly demented parents. The participants completed a 32-item questionnaire about the impact of experienced stress. The questionnaire also asked about interventions that might help to reduce the impact of stress. After exploratory factor analysis, we reduced the 32-item questionnaire to 13 items. Results indicated that caregivers experienced stress, anxiety, and sadness. Also, emotional, but not financial or professional, well-being was significantly impacted. There was no significant difference between the impact of caregiver stress on members from the sandwich generation and those from the nonsandwich generation. Meeting with a social worker for resource availability was identified most frequently as a potentially helpful intervention for coping with the impact of stress.
