Use of research evidence in U.S. federal policymaking
Who is listening? Profiles of policymaker engagement with scientific communication
The evolving science around COVID‐19 made timely digital communication with policymakers increasingly important for all constituencies. This holds true particularly for the scientific community, where evidence‐informed policymaking can influence the effectiveness of public responses. In this context, understanding how to reach policymakers effectively and which policymakers are likely to engage with scientific information delivered through digita…
Rapid-Cycle Experimentation With State and Federal Policymakers for Optimizing the Reach of Racial Equity Research
Racial disparities and racism are pervasive public health threats that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it is critical and timely for researchers to communicate with policymakers about strategies for reducing disparities. From April through July 2020, across four rapid-cycle trials disseminating scientific products with evidence-based policy recommendations for addressing disparities, we tested strategies for optimizing the r…
Evidence‐Based Human Trafficking Policy
Highlights The evidence‐based policy movement may present an opportunity for increasing the use of trauma‐informed practices. The use of research evidence in human trafficking legislation, including references to trauma, has increased over time. Legislation leveraging research methods or findings has the potential to implicitly support trauma‐informed care, especially because legislation that uses research language may be more likely to become en…
Natural Environments Near Schools
Features of the natural environment such as tree canopy and green space have been found to promote health and well‐being; however, minimal research has investigated potential benefits of nature near schools for early childhood development. This study examined differences in teacher ratings of preschoolers’ socio‐emotional and behavioral functioning in relation to the presence of natural elements (e.g., trees, parks) near children's homes and scho…
