• Framework for Guiding Funding Decisions About Proposed Research Involving Enhanced Potential Pandemic Pathogens

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Purpose and Principles: "Research involving potential pandemic pathogens (PPPs) is essential to protecting global health and security. However, there are biosafety and biosecurity risks associated with undertaking such research that must be adequately considered and appropriately mitigated in order to help safely realize the potential benefits. The HHS [Health and Human Services] Framework for Guiding Funding Decisions about Proposed Research Involving Enhanced Potential Pandemic Pathogens (HHS P3CO Framework) is intended to guide HHS funding decisions on individual proposed research that is reasonably anticipated to create, transfer, or use enhanced PPPs."

  "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) created this guide to provide the most important information that media professionals might need in the field while covering a terrorist attack or other public health emergency. This guide was developed by HHS' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs as a compact companion to a more comprehensive guide on these topics, called 'Terrorism and Other Public Health Emergencies: A Reference Guide for Media.' This field guide is mainly aimed towards individual reporters, but may also be useful for newsroom managers and other media professionals. These guides were created specifically to fill the void of expert-reviewed and approved information about terrorist agents and the public health system focusing on the unique needs posed by extreme public health emergencies. Resources dealing with natural disasters and related issues already exist in many forums. Just the same, many of the new programs and resources described in this field guide--and more fully in the media reference guide--are relevant to all public health emergencies including natural disasters. So, we hope this guide will be useful to you in a wide variety of emergencies."

  This Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report is an update to a pandemic planning document that also deals with the specific threat of the H5N1 virus. The report also has information on monitoring and surveillance, vaccines and vaccine production capacity, antiviral drugs, state and local preparedness, and communications. "The story of our country's pandemic preparations is, at its center, a story about individuals and their sense of commitment to a common goal. It is a story of shared responsibility, of people working together to prepare their families, their communities, workplaces, cities, and states for the eventuality of a pandemic. At each level of this combined effort, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has taken steps so that those involved had the information, guidance, and support to work together to prepare for a pandemic. Individuals, too, within the Federal government are working together to take the broader actions that can only be done from a central, national vantage point. After three years of intense effort by these individuals and groups throughout the country, many results of this unique national effort are now emerging. At the same time, the next steps needed to continue this effort and improve upon it are coming into sharper focus."

• DRAFT Anticipated Responsibilities of the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) In the Year 2020 An Examination with Recommendations: A Joint Report from the National Biodefense Science Board and the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response Board of Scientific Counselors

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The United States Government (USG) currently faces serious fiscal challenges and it is likely that funding for the SNS [Strategic National Stockpile] will be reduced or -- at best, perhaps -- sustained without growth. Decreased or static funding, however, is incompatible with SNS maintenance and replenishment of materiel, let alone the expansion of this vital national resource. Given the challenges facing the SNS, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) together with the Director, Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), jointly sent a letter dated June 1, 2012, to the Chairs of two U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) federal advisory committees (FACs), the National Biodefense Science Board (NBSB) and the OPHPR Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC), charging them with three specific tasks: 1. To identify anticipated responsibilities of the SNS in the year 2020; 2. To recommend approaches for meeting those responsibilities as efficiently as possible; and 3. To propose metrics for reporting program capability and informing improvement."

• Traumatic Brain Injury in the United States: A Report to Congress

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults in the United States. Each year an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI. As a consequence of these injuries: 1) 230,000 people are hospitalized and survive. 2) 50,000 people die. 3) 80,000 to 90,000 people experience the onset of long-term disability. As the cumulative result of past traumatic brain injuries, an estimated 5.3 million men, women, and children are living with a permanent TBI-related disability in the United States today. While the risk of having a TBI is substantial among all age groups, this risk is highest among adolescents, young adults, and persons older than 75 years. The risk of TBI among males is twice the risk among females. The major causes of TBI are: 1) Motor vehicle crashes-the leading cause of TBI resulting in 'hospitalization.' 2) Violence, especially suicidal behavior and assaults that involve firearms-the leading cause of TBI -related 'death.' 3) Falls-the leading cause of TBI among the elderly. These injuries have both short-term and long-term effects on individuals, their families, and society and their financial cost is enormous. According to one study, the annual economic burden in the United States was approximately $37.8 billion in 1985."

  "Health care-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that people acquire while they are receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions in a health care setting. HAIs can be acquired anywhere health care is delivered. Hospital-acquired HAIs are among the leading causes of death in the United States. At any given time, about one in every 20 hospitalized patients has an HAI, while over one million HAIs occur across health care every year. Hospital acquired HAIs alone are responsible for $28 billion to $33 billion in potentially preventable health care expenditures annually. Scientific evidence has shown that certain types of HAIs can be drastically reduced to save lives and avoid excess costs."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "Life sciences research is essential to the scientific advances that underpin improvements in the health and safety of the public, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, materiel, and national security. Despite its value and benefits, however, certain types of research conducted for legitimate purposes can be utilized for benevolent or harmful purposes. Such research is called 'dual use research.' Dual use research 'of concern' (DURC) is a subset of dual use research defined as life sciences research that, based on current understanding, can be reasonably anticipated to provide knowledge, information, products, or technologies that could be directly misapplied to pose a significant threat with broad potential consequences to public health and safety, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, materiel, or national security. In general, there are risks associated with life sciences research, such as accidental exposure of personnel or the environment to a pathogen or toxin. Many existing and synergistic statutes, regulations, and guidelines are in place to address risks associated with biosafety, physical security, and personnel reliability. Some risks relate directly to the characteristics of DURC -- the risk that knowledge, information, products, or technologies resulting from the research could be used in a manner that results in harm or threatens society. DURC should be evaluated for possible risks, as well as benefits, in all these domains, to ensure that risks are appropriately managed and benefits realized. This Policy addresses dual use research risks holistically, that is, the risk that knowledge, information, products, or technologies generated from life sciences research could be used in a manner that results in harm."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The suicide rate for young people between ages 15 and 24 almost tripled during the past 30 years. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for young people in this age group. This sharp increase in suicide rates in one segment of the population, especially when rates for most other causes of death were decreasing in the United States, prompted the Secretary of Health and Human Services to organize a task force to investigate this pressing problem. The task force was charged with investigating what could be done to prevent youth suicide. In the past, suicide had traditionally been considered a mental health problem of older adults. Its prevention was based on the detection and treatment of psychological illness in adults, most commonly depression. Beginning in 1980, however, more than half of all suicides occurred among persons under the age of 40. In addition, evidence suggested that depression was less frequently associated with suicide in young people than adults. In light of these findings, what reason was there to think that prevention based on detecting and treating depressed adults could work for nondepressed young people? Few research studies had examined suicide and suicide prevention in young people; nor was it known whether inferences drawn from research on adults could be applied to youth. The major functions of the task force were to review, assess, and consolidate the available information about suicide; provide forums for communication among health care professionals, educators, researchers, social service workers, and families; and recommend activities to address the problem. The task force was also charged with coordinating suicide activities among Federal agencies, Congress, State and local governments, private agencies, and professional organizations."

  "Human trafficking is a growing concern for our nation. Also known as modern slavery, human trafficking is a crime that involves the exploitation of a person for the purpose of compelled labor or a commercial sex act. Since the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000, law enforcement investigators, social service providers, and community leaders have reported cases of forced labor, debt bondage, involuntary servitude, and sex trafficking, impacting a diverse range of populations including men, women, and children, who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or foreign nationals. […] Among the diverse populations affected by human trafficking, children are at particular risk to sex trafficking and labor trafficking. […] ACYF [Administration on Children, Youth and Families] provides this guidance to states and service programs to build greater awareness and better response to the problem of child trafficking. This document is intended to elevate this issue and offer guidance to CW [Child Welfare] systems and RHY [Runaway and Homeless Youth] service providers, based on current research and practice, to improve the collective response to this issue. Importantly, ACYF acknowledges that systems and services must consider enhancing their practices in the context of limited resources. This guidance focuses on emerging knowledge and practices that systems and services can consider integrating into existing activities."
