The decline in marriage and divorce was evident prior to the pandemic, but it remains unknown whether these patterns have persisted during the pandemic. We compared monthly marriage and divorce counts for two years prior to the pandemic (2018 and 2019), and during the pandemic for the five states that published monthly vital statistics data for 2020 (Arizona, Florida, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon). All five states witnessed an initial dip in marriage. Counts of marriages in Arizona and New Hampshire rebounded. In contrast, a marriage shortfall occurred in Florida, Missouri, and Oregon. In the early pandemic months divorces initially declined in all five states and rebounded in Arizona. In the remaining four states a divorce shortfall has occurred. Based on these results we provide national estimates of the marriage and divorce response to the pandemic. As more data become available it will be important to acknowledge these state variations in response to the pandemic.

This section provides you with the ability to assess net-centric and interoperability principles within organizations. This chapter provides a set of checklists that have been placed in tables for organizations to figure out how to evaluate net-centric data assessment, net-centric services assessment, information assurance assessment, and communications and transport assessment. It then provides an understanding of interoperability testing to promote net-centric development, which involves stages of testing and the use of SOA-based services. We end with a case study of the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory that has been a fixture in providing testing support for IPv6 and network testing.

The Countermeasure and Response Administration (CRA) system is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention informatics application developed to track countermeasures, including medical interventions (eg, vaccinations and pharmaceuticals) and nonmedical interventions (eg, patient isolation, quarantine, and personal protective equipment), administered during a public health response. This case study follows the use of CRA as a supplement to paper-based processes during an exercise in which antimicrobials dispensed to individual exposed persons were captured after a simulated bioterrorist attack of anthrax spores. The exercise was conducted by the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services on April 14, 2007.Automated systems like CRA can track when medications are dispensed. The data can then be used for performance metrics, statistics, and in locating victims for follow-up study. Given that this case study was limited to a single location in a relatively rural setting, the authors concluded that more study is needed to compare the feasibility of using an automated system rather than paper-based processes for effectively managing a very large-scale urgent public health response.

Kathryn Welby’s case study of schools in regions of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine that have been touched by the opioid crisis yields eye-opening insights into the devastating impact the opioid epidemic has on schools. Students in these communities are experiencing serious trauma because of opioid addiction in their families, and this trauma affects their ability to participate and learn at school. Educators in the schools reveal that they are overwhelmed and feel helpless to do anything for their students, and they have received little support and training on how to cope with the crisis. Schools in areas affected by the epidemic need to acknowledge that the problem exists and proactively work to prepare teachers to respond.
