正文(英文) | This week, we discuss insights from RAND experts on the Russia-Ukraine war; treating patients with opioid use disorder; promoting global citizenship among Americans; the U.S. Army's new combat fitness test; increasing representation of women of color in workplace leadership; and how to overcome barriers to equitable COVID-19 vaccination. Our Latest on Russia's War on UkraineThe Russian invasion of Ukraine began exactly one month ago yesterday. Our experts have been drawing on a vast body of relevant RAND research, providing key insights on important issues related to Russia's military; Ukraine's resistance; how the West can hold Putin accountable while preventing a wider conflict; the many political, diplomatic, and humanitarian implications of the crisis; and more. Here's just a sample of what RAND researchers had to say in recent days:
Sustaining Medication Treatment for Patients with Opioid Use DisorderIn 2018, there were more than 700,000 opioid-related visits to hospital emergency departments. According to a new RAND study, most people who fill prescriptions for their opioid use disorder during such visits do not continue the medication. This suggests that new approaches—such as “bridge clinics” that transition patients to community care—are needed to help people continue drug treatment that starts on an emergency basis. Advancing Global Citizenship in AmericaA RAND paper released this week examines the evolution of American attitudes toward globalization and other forms of international engagement. The authors argue that globalization has been largely beneficial for both Americans and the rest of the world, decreasing poverty, improving well-being, and leading to greater peace. They explore ways to grow support for global citizenship among Americans, in part by ensuring that benefits are shared more widely. A Review of the Army's New Combat Fitness TestThe U.S. Army is introducing a new fitness test for the first time in more than 40 years. The test—made up of six events including a maximum deadlift, hand release push-ups, and a two-mile run—is designed to ensure soldier readiness, reduce injuries, and promote overall fitness. In a new analysis, RAND researchers assess the test and provide recommendations to help inform the Army's implementation decisions. Increasing Representation of Women of Color in Workplace LeadershipMore women of color were elected to Congress in 2020 than ever before, not to mention the election of Vice President Kamala Harris, the first woman (and woman of color) to hold the position. But similar steps toward more balanced representation haven't happened in leadership positions outside of politics. Zara Fatima Abdurahaman of the Pardee RAND Graduate School breaks down the existing research to find out what might be done to change this. How to Promote Vaccination EquityThroughout the pandemic, communities of color have seen lower vaccination rates than white communities. A recent RAND study examined a nationwide effort to change that, identifying common barriers to equitable vaccination and how to overcome them. In a new visual story for RAND's Art + Data program, visiting artists Juan Delcan and Valentina Izaguirre (the team known as V+J) transform key findings from this study into a mesmerizing visual story.
