• The Person, Interactions and Environment Programme to improve care of people with dementia in hospital: a multisite study.
  The programme changed ward practices and patient experience but there was no evidence that it improved clinical outcomes; although it worked on two wards, organisational upheaval contributed to non-adoption in most wards.
• Future Directions for the Demography of Aging: Proceedings of a Workshop.
  Almost 25 years have passed since the Demography of Aging (1994) was published by the National Research Council. Future Directions for the Demography of Aging is, in many ways, the successor to that original volume. The Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Academies of Sciences, […]
• Aging and Disability: Beyond Stereotypes to Inclusion: Proceedings of a Workshop.
  Many different groups of people are subject to stereotypes. Positive stereotypes (e.g., “older and wiser”) may provide a benefit to the relevant groups. However, negative stereotypes of aging and of disability continue to persist and, in some cases, remain socially acceptable. Research has shown that when exposed to negative images of aging, older persons demonstrate […]
• Exploring Partnership Governance in Global Health: Proceedings of a Workshop.
  Solving the world's health challenges requires multidisciplinary collaborations that bring together the talents, experiences, resources, and ideas from multiple sectors. These collaborations in global health frequently occur through public–private partnerships (PPPs) in which public and private parties share risks, responsibilities, and decision-making processes with the objective of collectively and more effectively addressing a common goal. […]
• Improving the Quality of Dentistry (IQuaD): a cluster factorial randomised controlled trial comparing the effectiveness and cost–benefit of oral hygiene advice and/or periodontal instrumentation with routine care for the prevention and management of periodontal disease in dentate adults attending dental primary care.
  There was no additional benefit from scheduling 6-monthly or 12-monthly periodontal instrumentations over not providing this treatment, and no difference between personalised and routine oral health advice.
• Advancing Obesity Solutions Through Investments in the Built Environment: Proceedings of a Workshop.
  The built environment–the physical world made up of the homes, buildings, streets, and infrastructure within which people live, work, and play–underwent changes during the 20th and 21st centuries that contributed to a sharp decline in physical activity and affected access to healthy foods. Those developments contributed in turn to the weight gain observed among Americans […]
• Neuroforensics: Exploring the Legal Implications of Emerging Neurotechnologies: Proceedings of a Workshop [Prepublication Draft].
  Discussions around the intersection between neuroscience and the law began decades ago. Originally used mostly in death penalty cases, the role of neuroscience has extended to cases involving drugs, assault, burglary, child abuse, rape, fraud, theft, and kidnapping. Neuroscience has also begun to play an increasingly important role in making policy, particularly where the law […]
• The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education: Branches from the Same Tree.
  In the United States, broad study in an array of different disciplines —arts, humanities, science, mathematics, engineering— as well as an in-depth study within a special area of interest, have been defining characteristics of a higher education. But over time, in-depth study in a major discipline has come to dominate the curricula at many institutions. […]
• The international knowledge base for new care models relevant to primary care-led integrated models: a realist synthesis.
  As complex adaptive systems, primary care-led integrated models require critical attention to connectivity, feedback loops and system learning in their design, implementation and evaluation.
• From programme theory to logic models for multispecialty community providers: a realist evidence synthesis.
  Multidisciplinary teams are a central mechanism by which multispecialty community providers and their equivalents work, provided that the teams include the relevant professions and, for care planning, individual patients
