INTRODUCTION
The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit research organization providing objective analysis and effective solutions that
address the challenges facing the public and private sectors around the world. It conducts studies in the public interest
supported by the United States government, by local and state governments, by private foundations, and by its own funds
derived from earned fees. The work involves most of the major disciplines in the physical, social, and biological sciences,
with emphasis on their application to problems of policy and planning in domestic and foreign affairs.
The methods and findings of RAND research are reported chiefly in RAND’s publications. Many RAND studies
appear also as articles in professional, scholarly, and technical journals (published in our Reprint series), and as books
published by other commercial publishers and university presses. Selected RAND Abstracts (SRA) is a complete guide to
current unclassified RAND publications.
The numbered publication series includes:

(Technical) Reports

Library Reprints
The Monograph and the Monograph/Report are the principal publications documenting and transmitting RAND’s major
research findings. RAND (technical) reports may include research findings on a specific topic that is limited in scope or
intended for a narrow audience; present discussions of the methodology employed in research; provide literature reviews,
survey instruments, modeling exercises, guidelines for practitioners and research professionals, and supporting
documentation; or deliver preliminary findings. Conference Proceedings, Testimony, and Documented Briefings report on
those events after the fact. Dissertations emanate from the Pardee RAND Graduate School. The Reprint series reproduces
previously published journal articles and book chapters. Occasional Papers may include an informed perspective on a
timely policy issue, a discussion of new research methodologies, essays, a paper presented at a conference, or a summary
of work in progress. Research Briefs are policy-oriented summaries of published RAND research. Corporate publications
describe the nature of RAND and its work as a whole. Drafts and working papers are intended to share the authors’ latest
research findings and solicit informal peer review. LRPs are articles or book chapters written by RAND authors but not
available from RAND.
In addition to these numbered series, some RAND research is published in book form by other commercial or
academic presses or as articles in journals or other books.
Selected RAND Abstracts is divided into an index section and an abstract section.
INDEX SECTION
Each issue of SRA contains subject, author, and title indexes covering all the material abstracted in the current volume.
Subject Index. Each publication is indexed under one or more appropriate subjects. The lines that follow the
subject headings are titles. The publication number following the modifier refers the user to the abstract appearing in the
abstract section.
Author Index. The entries under the authors’ names give the numbers and titles of their publications abstracted
in this volume of SRA.
Title Index. Each title is followed by its document number.
vi
ABSTRACT SECTION
Abstracts are arranged serially by publication number. A complete serial list of publications included in this volume
appears immediately preceding the subject index.

2004.
Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the
United States, critics have charged that the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI), while qualified to investigate
terrorist incidents after the fact, is not well equipped to
adequately gather and assess information to prevent
attacks. More intrinsically, many believe that, given a
predominant and deeply rooted law enforcement and
prosecutorial culture, the bureau may not be able—or, in
fact, even willing—to change operational focus toward
dedicated counterterrorism intelligence gathering and
analysis. To better inform debate, researchers at the
RAND Corporation analyzed the domestic security
services of four allied countries—the United Kingdom,
France, Canada, and Australia. In each of the cases, the
authors consider the organization's basic structure, its main
threats, its relationship with the police, and the oversight
and accountability each has with its respective
government. They then weigh both the positive and
negative aspects of the systems. Overall, the authors find

Conserving the Future Force Fighting
Strength: Findings from the Army Medical Department
Transformation Workshops, 2002. D. E. Johnson, G.
Cecchine. 2004.
The Army is in the process of transforming itself and is
developing new operational concepts and technologies to
enable this transformation. The Army Medical Department
(AMEDD) has been deeply involved in the overall Army
transformation effort since its inception, and it has
identified operational medicine issues whose resolution
will be critical to its ability to support the Army of the
future. The purpose of this research was to develop a
method to assess these issues and further investigate a
subset of them. RAND Arroyo Center designed and
conducted a series of workshops in which AMEDD
experts determined likely outcomes for individual
casualties resulting from an Army simulation of its future
force. It was concluded that in this particular simulation,
the structure and concepts postulated for the evacuation
and treatment of future force combat casualties were
overwhelmed by eight hours of relatively low-intensity
Within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the
Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP) is charged with
coordinating first-responder terrorism-preparedness efforts
and working with state and local first responders to
improve terrorism preparedness. To meet its charge, DHS
needs to collect information on first responders and other
emergency-response providers, including the challenges
first responders have confronted and how they have
addressed them and their support needs. This report
presents the results of a survey conducted by the RAND
Corporation in 2002. It assesses how prepared state and
local law enforcement agencies are for terrorism in the
post-9/11 environment. The results provide DHS and ODP
an important baseline for gauging where the law
enforcement community stood on the eve of the formation
of DHS and for assessing future progress in improving
U.S. terrorism preparedness. Some conclusions of the
survey: Law enforcement considers the most likely threats
to be chemical, biological, or conventional-explosives
attacks; although agencies updated response plans and
internally reallocated resources to focus on terrorism
preparedness in response to 9/11, only one out of five
received external funding immediately after 9/11 to
support these activities; law enforcement's approach to
preparedness varies by size of country; law enforcement's
support needs include improving assessment and response
capabilities; state and local law enforcement indicated a
need for better intelligence on the terrorist threat and
terrorist capability; and resourcing of preparedness raises
concerns about what public safety trade-offs are being
made at the local level to focus on terrorism preparedness.
Finally, the survey also found that law enforcement
agencies that perceived the risk of a terrorist attack to be
higher for their jurisdiction were more likely to undertake
steps to improve their preparedness; in addition, perceived
risk was also predictive of receipt of funding. Online

Policy Options for Military Recruiting
in the College Market: Results from a National Survey.
B. J. Asch, C. Du, M. Schonlau. 2004.
The armed services prefer to recruit high-quality youth
because of their better performance and lower attrition.
However, high-quality youth are increasingly interested in
139
attending college. Existing policies targeted toward the
college market are likely to continue to be effective, but
new policies must be developed to successfully penetrate
this market further. This monograph reports on a research
project that developed and implemented a national survey
of college youth and analyzed the results. The survey
offered respondents a series of hypothetical programs that
would allow enlistees to attend college before accession
into the military, and they were asked to rate their level of
enlistment interest under each program. A $65,000 college
loan repayment program as part of a "college-beforeaccession" program had the largest effect on college
market youth's probability of expressing a positive
propensity to enlist, producing an increase in probability
of over 50 percent. The survey also provides corroborating
evidence on the importance of college dropouts as a source
of high-quality recruits. Allowing college dropouts to
enlist directly without first returning to college was
associated with a stronger stated enlistment interest. In
addition to programs such as loan repayment as part of a
"college-before-accession" program, the authors conclude
that if the services are to be successful in the college
market, they must have in place an appropriate
management infrastructure—such as incentive
mechanisms for recruiters and an advertising campaign
that supports recruiters' efforts. Online access:

Recent Large Service Acquisitions in
the Department of Defense: Lessons for the Office of the
Secretary of Defense. F. A. Camm, I. Blickstein, J.
Venzor. 2004.
At the request of the Directorate of Acquisition Resource
and Analysis in the Office of the Secretary of Defense
(OSD), the RAND Corporation undertook a study to
identify policy issues relevant to large service acquisitions
that deserve closer OSD attention and to help OSD frame
new policy on services acquisition. This report documents
the findings of these efforts. It includes six case studies
that represent a broad range of new approaches to services
acquisition and that identify high-level policy issues in
which OSD is likely to become involved. Perhaps the most
important general finding is that many ideas discussed in
the 1990s for large system acquisitions are finding their
way into services acquisition. Three broad shifts occur in
virtually all of the approaches: increased importance of
program management, delegation of day-to-day
management to contractors, and the use of alternatives to
arms-length relationships. It is concluded that to
effectively address continuing change in services
acquisition, OSD should focus on three roles: linking
services acquisition goals to the strategic goals of the
Department of Defense, managing congressional concerns
about services acquisition, and developing and
disseminating lessons learned. As OSD pursues these
oversight roles, more specific challenges can be expected
to arise, including concerns about criteria other than cost,
support of contingencies, treatment of small and
disadvantaged businesses, and public-private partnering.

Attracting the Best: How the Military
Competes for Information Technology Personnel. J. R.
Hosek, M. G. Mattock, C. C. Fair, J. Sharp, M. Totten.
2004.
During the 1990s, the burgeoning private-sector demand
for information technology (IT) workers, escalating
private-sector pay in IT, growing military dependence on
IT, and faltering military recruiting led to a concern that
the military capability was vulnerable to a large shortfall
in IT personnel. What basis, if any, offered assurance that
the supply of IT personnel would be adequate to meet the
military's future IT manpower requirements? The authors
conducted a literature review, field interviews, and data
analysis and used a dynamic model that, taken together,
compose an integrative perspective on this question and
offer some policy implications for military planners in
terms of how to recruit and retain qualified IT personnel.
In addition, the insights of this research seem likely to
apply to other high-technology occupations in the military
that, like IT, offer valuable, transferable training in
addition to the opportunity to serve. Online access:

Test and Evaluation Trends and Costs for
Aircraft and Guided Weapons. B. Fox, M. Boito, J. C.
Graser, O. Younossi. 2004.
As military systems have become more complex, testing
has become more time consuming and costly. A number of
efficiencies have been proposed and implemented, such as
increasing use of modeling and simulation and combining
developmental and operational testing. How have these
approaches worked in practice? And do traditional metrics
for estimating the cost of testing still apply? This study
addressed these issues by examining system-level testing
for selected fixed-wing aircraft, missiles and guided
munitions programs. The actual times and costs appear to
be largely in step with the increasing complexity of the
systems and test programs, so the proportion of
development costs that the testing represents has not
changed markedly. Although the available data are not
sufficient to isolate the effects of discrete initiatives, some,
such as modeling and simulation and combined testing,
have empirically demonstrated their value on a variety of
programs. The authors provide cost estimating
methodologies and reference information on the programs
they studied. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Cuba After Castro: Legacies,
Challenges, and Impediments. E. Gonzalez, K. F.
McCarthy. 2004.
Cuba is nearing the end of the Castro era. When that end
arrives, the government that succeeds Fidel Castro, as well
as the Cuban people themselves, will need answers to the
following questions: How is Castro's more than fourdecade rule likely to affect a post-Castro Cuba? What are
the political, social, and economic challenges that Cuba
will have to confront? What are the impediments that will
need to be surmounted if Cuba is to develop economically
and embark on a democratic transition? To answer those
questions, the authors examine Castro's political legacies,
Cuba's generational and racial divisions, its demographic
predicament, the legacy of a centralized economy, and the
need for industrial restructuring. They conclude by
offering policy guidelines for the United States to foster a
stable and prosperous post-Castro Cuba. Online access:

Nichiporuk, R. Uy, J. Zavadil. 2004.
The Army cannot effectively project power if it cannot get
to where it needs to go to confront future adversaries. The
authors of this report developed scenarios and conducted
political-military games to determine what strategies,
tactics, and capabilities potential adversaries might use to
prevent or complicate U.S. access to key areas and how
effective the U.S. counters to these tactics are. After their
assessment, the authors were reasonably sanguine about
the ability of the U.S. to prevail in the near term, but they
also identified areas of future concern and suggested
several improvements, including expanding the number of
in-theater bases that might be available; enhancing the
flexibility and deployability of U.S. forces to more austere
bases; and upgrading detection, warning, and force
protection measures. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The U.S. Coast Guard's Deepwater
Force Modernization Plan: Can It Be Accelerated? Will It
Meet Changing Security Needs? J. L. 1944-. Birkler, B.
Alkire, R. W. Button, G. T. Lee, R. Raman, J. F. Schank,
C. W. Stephens. 2004.
In November 2002, the United States Coast Guard
(USCG) commissioned RAND to assess its Deepwater
program, an effort the USCG is undertaking to slowly, but
steadily replace or modernize nearly 100 aging cutters and
more than 200 aircraft. Known more formally as the
Integrated Deepwater System program, this endeavor aims
to equip the USCG with state-of-the-art cutters, aircraft,
helicopters, and unmanned air vehicles at an annual cost of
about $500 million in fiscal year 1998 dollars, and to be
completed in approximately 20 years. All of its activities
will be orchestrated through an integrated command,
control, communications, computing, intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) system and an
Integrated Logistics System (ILS). The program is the
largest and most complex acquisition effort in USCG
history. Although the new systems being acquired under
Deepwater would be substantially more capable than the
legacy systems being retired, the USCG was directed to
maintain the status quo in terms of overall capability, so
that fewer new assets would be needed. RAND's research
is intended to help USCG decisionmakers evaluate
whether the Deepwater program-which was conceived and
put in motion before the September 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks and before the USCG's subsequent transfer into the
newly created Department of Homeland Security-remains
valid for the new missions and evolving responsibilities
that the USCG has been asked to shoulder. RAND was
asked to evaluate whether the current Deepwater
acquisition plan will provide the USCG with an adequate
number and array of cutters, aircraft, and other assets to
meet changing operational demands. RAND's assessment
involved two parallel evaluations: "An exploration of
issues connected with speeding up, compressing, or
otherwise accelerating the pace at which the USCG can
acquire surface and air assets that it will operate in the
deepwater environment, defined as territory 50 or more
nautical miles from shore. As part of this examination,
RAND was asked to look at the implications for the force
structure, cost, performance, and industrial base of
commissioning all replacement assets, decommissioning
all outmoded or old-technology (so-called legacy) assets,
and completing all modernization tasks earlier than the
year 2022." A determination of whether the original
Deepwater plan would provide the USCG with a force
structure to meet mission demands. RAND was asked to
evaluate the force structure that the original Deepwater
acquisition plan would provide and define the boundaries
of a force structure that would be large and flexible
enough and with the capabilities to fulfill the USCG's
traditional and emerging responsibilities. Our main
conclusion is that the Deepwater program will not provide
the USCG with adequate assets and capabilities to fulfill
the demands of traditional missions and emerging
responsibilities. The study recommends that the USCG
meet its mission demands by accelerating and expanding
the acquisition of planned Deepwater assets and
simultaneously identifying and exploring new platform
options, emerging technologies, and operational concepts
that could leverage those assets. Such a two-pronged
strategy may satisfy demand more quickly and at less cost
than just expanding the original Deepwater plan. This
report should be of special interest both to the USCG and
to uniformed and civilian decisionmakers involved in
homeland security and homeland defense. It was prepared

Do the Ties Still Bind? The U.S.ROK Security Relationship After 9/11. N. D. Levin.
2004.
The United States and South Korea enjoy many benefits
from close security cooperation but the relationship,
although not currently endangered, is shifting. The
paramount challenge in the short term is ensuring that the
two countries stay in lockstep in dealing with North
Korea. Sustaining the relationship for the long haul,
however, will require a focused effort to adapt it to new
global and domestic conditions. Recent attention has been
given to the appropriate nature, size, and configuration of
U.S. forces deployed in Korea. These central questions
deserve heavy emphasis but the answers provided will
remain vulnerable to domestic political currents in both
countries without affirmation of a larger common purpose.
Other important issues include a joint agreement to move
the U.S. garrison out of Seoul, South Korea's role within
the alliance, and the South Korean desire for a more
"equal" partnership. The U.S. should examine whether
restrictions on weapons sales to Korea might be relaxed in
certain areas and whether the bar on permissible
technology transfers might be raised, while creating
opportunities for South Koreans to help shape a new
security relationship that gives them a greater sense of
ownership. For its part, South Korea must act like an equal
partner if it wants to be treated as one. At its core, this
means taking its own responsibility for the health of the
alliance. While continuing to address such "future of the
alliance" issues, the U.S. also needs to address a broad set
of issues relating to management of the alliance today.

Organizational Concepts for Purchasing
and Supply Management Implementation. L. M.
Leftwich, J. Leftwich, N. Y. Moore, C. R. Roll. 2004.
This report presents a construct for organizing Air Force
acquisition and purchasing activities to execute purchasing
and supply management (PSM). PSM is defined as a
strategic, enterprise-wide, long-term, multifunctional,
dynamic approach to selecting suppliers of goods and
services. PSM also involves managing not only suppliers
but the whole network-from raw materials to final use and
disposal-continually reducing ownership costs, managing
risks, and improving quality, responsiveness, reliability,
and flexibility. A PSM demonstration was chartered as a
result of the Air Force "Spares Campaign," which was
intended to review the Air Force parts supply process.
Eight initiatives were targeted to modernize the spares
process and ultimately put more spares into the hands of
maintainers. The last initiative focused on improving
PSM. As a first step, PSM was to be implemented at the
F100 engine shop at the Oklahoma Air Logistics Center.
The document suggests organizational options for
implementing PSM to better align contracting and logistics
functions with process changes. It presents a flexible,
springboard design to guide implementation of the
process. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

New Paths to Success: Determining
Career Alternatives for Field-Grade Officers. P. Schirmer,
D. G. Levy, H. Thie, J. S. Moini, M. C. Harrell, K. Curry,
K. Brancato, M. Abbott. 2004.
The Department of Defense (DoD) wants to create a more
strategic, modern, and flexible officer personnel system.
At present, most military officers are subject to a policy
commonly known as "up-or-out," which requires
separation from service if an officer is not promoted
within a certain period of time (or selectively continued)
or when an officer reaches established grade tenure limits.
The RAND Corporation was asked to outline alternatives
to up-or-out that might be tested via demonstration
projects, to suggest how such tests might be evaluated, and
to work with the military services to identify possible
communities for the tests. RAND researchers propose four
demonstration projects, one for each service, that represent
various alternatives to up-or-out that could meet the needs
of the identified communities to retain highly valued
officers longer, provide additional training and education,
and increase geographical stability for individuals. The
common theme in the proposed demonstration projects is
to replace "promotability" with "employability" as the
basis for continuation of participating officers. RAND
researchers also identify methodologies for measuring the
implementation and outcomes of the demonstration
projects, and they discuss the different means of obtaining
legal authority to conduct demonstration projects to test
career management alternatives for military officers.

The size and adequacy of the federal workforce for
carrying out scientific, technical, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) activities are ongoing concerns in
many policy circles. Experts both inside and outside of
government have voiced fears that this workforce is aging
and may soon face a dwindling labor pool, a problem that
could be compounded by skill shortages in key areas and
growing numbers of non-U.S. citizens obtaining STEM
degrees in the United States. The authors assess the
142
condition of this workforce, based on the best available
data, while focusing on three main areas: trends in the U.S.
STEM workforce overall that might affect the federal
STEM workforce, workforce-shaping activities in the
federal STEM workforce, and legislative and
programmatic mechanisms for influencing that workforce.

State Arts Agencies 1965-2003: Whose
Interests to Serve? J. F. Lowell. 2004.
Three-quarters of all U.S. state and jurisdictional
governments cut their arts budgets in fiscal year 2003, and
more than one-half imposed further cuts in fiscal year
2004. In this first of a series of reports commissioned by
The Wallace Foundation, the author argues that these state
arts budget cuts reflect more than just a one-time response
to fiscal crisis. That is, they reflect the political weakness
of state arts agencies, a weakness stemming from the
growing mismatch between the agencies' grant-making
roles and structures and the cultural and political realities
the agencies face. One promising solution may be for state
arts agencies to shift their focus and funding from
bolstering arts providers to serving people and
communities. But before this shift can take place, some
important conceptual as well as practical issues must be
addressed. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Out of the Ordinary: Finding Hidden
Threats by Analyzing Unusual Behavior. J. S. Hollywood,
D. Synder, K. McKay, J. E. Boon. 2004.
This monograph presents a unique approach to
"connecting the dots" in intelligence—selecting and
assembling disparate pieces of information to produce a
general understanding of a threat. Modeled after key
thought processes used by successful and proactive
problem solvers to identify potential threats, the Atypical
Signal Analysis and Processing (ASAP) schema described
in this document identifies out-of-the-ordinary, atypical
behavior that is potentially related to terror activity; seeks
to understand the behavior by putting it into context;
generates and tests hypotheses about what the atypical
behavior might mean; and prioritizes the results, focusing
analysts' attention on the most significant atypical
findings. In addition to discussing the schema, the authors
describe a supporting conceptual architecture and present
specific techniques for identifying and analyzing out-ofthe-ordinary information. An appendix presents the
scenario for a hypothetical terrorist attack, describes the
events leading up to the "attack," and shows how ASAP
could have been used to help intelligence analysts identify
the threat. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Dollar Cost Banding: A New Algorithm
for Computing Inventory Levels for Army SSAs. K.
Girardini, A. Lackey, K. Leuschner, D. A. Relles, M.
Totten, D. J. Blake. 2004.
When Army equipment fails, the speed with which
maintenance technicians can restore it to mission-ready
condition depends critically on the availability of needed
spare parts. The Army wished to improve the algorithm
used to compute the proper levels of inventory to stock in
its repair facilities. This monograph describes how the
Army's Distribution Management initiative (formerly
known as Velocity Management) has been used to develop
and implement a new algorithm for computing spare parts
inventories maintained by Army supply support activities
(SSAs). The algorithm, known as dollar cost banding
(DCB), has made it possible to expand the breadth of
deployable inventories by adjusting the criteria for
determining whether an item should be added or retained
according to the item's cost, size, and the criticality of the
demands. When setting the depth of inventory, DCB
accounts for surges and variations in demand, thus making
it more likely that a part will be available in SSA
inventories when demands occur. The DCB algorithm has
produced immediate and significant gains in performance
at little or no additional inventory cost and without
sacrificing mobility. DCB has been successfully used in
divisional SSAs, nondivisional tactical SSAs, and
nontactical SSAs. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The U.S. military constantly evaluates its personnel
system to find optimal ways to obtain the types of
personnel to execute its missions most efficiently. Will it
get better results if it expands its program to allow
civilians with appropriate education and experience to
enter the military laterally? This report looked specifically
at the lateral entry of non-prior-service personnel into

programs, identified the potential goals of a lateral entry
program, and presents an objective-based framework to
link the goals with specific program features. Using this
framework, the authors analyzed occupations in the Army,
Air Force, and Navy and concluded that pursuing a policy
of large-scale lateral entry did not show promise. They
recommended further that the Army and Navy leave their
current lateral entry programs intact for possible

Hitting America's Soft Underbelly:
The Potential Threat of Deliberate Biological Attacks
Against the U.S. Agricultural and Food Industry. P.
Chalk. 2004.
Over the past decade, the United States has endeavored to
increase its ability to detect, prevent, and respond to
terrorist threats and incidents. The agriculture sector and
the food industry in general, however, have received
comparatively little attention with respect to protection
against terrorist incidents. This study aims to expand the
current debate on domestic homeland security by assessing
the vulnerabilities of the agricultural sector and the food
chain to a deliberate act of biological terrorism. The author
presents the current state of research on threats to
agricultural livestock and produce, outlines the sector's
importance to the U.S. economy, examines the capabilities
that are needed to exploit the vulnerabilities in the food
industry, and explores the likely outcomes of a successful
attack. The author addresses the question of why terrorists
have yet to employ agricultural assaults as a method of
operation and offers proposed recommendations for the

Organizational Improvement and
Accountability: Lessons for Education from Other Sectors.
B. M. Stecher, S. N. Kirby. 2004.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is a performancebased accountability system built around student test
results. The accountability system comprises explicit
educational goals, assessments for measuring the
attainment of goals and judging success, and consequences
(rewards or sanctions). But the mechanisms through which
the system is intended to work are not well understood.
The authors examined five accountability models: two
from the manufacturing sector (the Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award Program and the Toyota
Production System (TPS)), a performance incentive model
used in the evaluation of job training programs for the
poor, accountability in the legal sector, accountability in
health care as shown by clinical practice guidelines, use of
statistical risk-adjustment methods, and the public
reporting of health performance measures. Although
education faces unique challenges, the authors conclude
that educators can learn much from these other sectors.
The Baldrige, TPS, and the clinical practice guidelines
suggest the importance of focused institutional selfassessment, understanding school and district operations
as a production process, being able to develop and apply a
knowledge base about effective practice, and empowering
participants in the process to contribute to improvement
efforts. The job training and risk-adjustment models and
the legal and health care accountability models provide
specific guidance on how to enhance system-wide
accountability in education by broadening performance
measures; making sure performance goals are fair to all
students and schools; developing standards of practice in
promising areas; and encouraging professional
accountability. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The Department of Defense now faces the challenge of
responding to the imminent retirement of a large
proportion of its civilian workers and the impending U.S.
military transformation that will likely require a larger
civilian workforce to support a new force structure. One
144
way in which DoD plans to address this challenge is
through recruiting "the best talent available." In its efforts
to determine effective ways to recruit such workers, DoD
asked the RAND Corporation to look at intern programs,
characterizing DoD's current intern programs, identifying
best practices for intern programs among private-sector
firms and other government agencies, and recommending
approaches for improving such programs. This monograph

examined included the objective individual combat
weapon (OICW, a rifle and precision explosive round
combination, now designated the XM-29), improved body
armor, better sensors, the use of small unguided vehicles
in support of operations, links to indirect fires, and
signature-reduction techniques. The work used highresolution constructive simulation (based on Janus and
associated models) to examine these aspects, with the
modeling taking place in the 2015–2020 time frame. The
primary scenario employed was a highly stressing mission
involving a dismounted attack on an enemy position in
complex terrain. The central findings were that soldier
effectiveness and survivability could be moderately
improved by individual systems (such as the XM-29, body
armor, and links to indirect fire), but significant
improvements resulted only from applications of
combined systems. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The Counterterror Coalitions:
Cooperation with Pakistan and India. C. C. Fair. 2004.
The author examines U.S. strategic relations with India
and Pakistan both historically and in the current context of
the global war on terrorism and Operation Enduring
Freedom in Afghanistan. Pakistan's unwillingness to halt
its active role in supporting militant operations in Indianheld Kashmir and elsewhere challenges U.S. interests in
reducing terrorism. India, for its part, could lessen
Pakistan's threat perceptions. An inescapable conclusion of
the report is that the intractable dispute over the
disposition of Kashmir remains a critical flashpoint
between the two states and a continual security challenge
for the United States and the larger international
community. The report offers five policy options on how
the United States might proceed: Maintain the status quo;
take an active role in resolving the dispute; distance itself
from the dispute; side with India; or side with Pakistan's
position on Kashmir. Each position, with benefits and
disadvantages, is discussed in detail. Online access:

Mapping the Risks: Assessing the
Homeland Security Implications of Publicly Available

Frelinger, K. M. O'Connell, A. Hou, M. S. Tseng, D. T.
Orletsky, C. W. Yost. 2004.
Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, many
federal government agencies began restricting some of
their publicly available geospatial data and information,
particularly sources accessible through the World Wide
Web. U.S. decisionmakers confront a major analytical
challenge in assessing whether and how such information
specifically helps potential attackers, including terrorists,
to select U.S. homeland sites and plan their attacks. At the
direction of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency,
researchers at the RAND Corporation sought to better
understand how publicly available geospatial information
can be exploited by possible attackers and what kinds of
information might prove most valuable. After evaluating
both the "supply" and "demand" of geospatial information,
including a survey of several thousand Web sites, RAND
researchers developed an analytical framework that
applies three key criteria—usefulness, uniqueness, and
societal benefits and costs—to assessing the homeland
security implications of geospatial information that is
publicly available. The researchers offer recommendations
on additional steps that the federal government can take to
145
increase the awareness of the public and private sectors
concerning the potential homeland security implications of
geospatial information. Online access: http://

U.S.-China Security Management:
Assessing the Military-to-Military Relationship. K. L.
Pollpeter. 2004.
Restrictions on military-to-military relations with China
imposed in 2001 stirred a debate about the value of those
activities and their place in the overall U.S.-China
relationship. This report examines the debate on security
cooperation between the two countries and finds that there
is value in the relationship, despite its problems. The
debate centers around four major issues of contention: the
potential risk to U.S. national security of military relations
with China, the potential benefits of the relationship to the
United States, whether the United States can expect to
influence China through the relationship, and the relative
levels of reciprocity and transparency experienced. The
study concludes that the U.S. military relationship with
China should concentrate on security management rather
than on security cooperation. A three-part program of
dialogue, information gathering, and limited cooperation
can have mutual benefit in minimizing misperceptions and
the chances of conflict. Lower-level facility visits,
exchanges of students, and the like are less likely to be
effective. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Are L.A.'s Children Ready for
School? S. Lara-Cinisomo, A. R. Pebley, M. E. Vaiana, E.
Maggio. 2004.
School readiness is important for children, for their
families, and for society at large. The authors' exploration
of school readiness focuses on how the home literacy
environment, parenting behavior, and social characteristics
affect two aspects of school readiness: basic skills, such as
reading and math; and behavior problems, including
sad/anxious behavior and aggressive behavior. The
discussion is based on information drawn from the Los
Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS), a
survey of 65 neighborhoods in Los Angeles County
conducted in 2000–2001. The analysis shows that mothers'
educational attainment and neighborhood poverty are the
two social characteristics most strongly associated with
school readiness. In addition, ethnicity and immigrant
status themselves are not important predictors of school
readiness, once differences in socioeconomic status are
taken into account. In fact, children whose parents were
born outside the United States do better on basic skills
than kids with U.S.-born parents when socioeconomic
status is taken into account. The findings provide a clear
picture of the factors that affect school readiness, and how
the study results may be useful to individuals and groups
involved in formulating programs to improve school
readiness. Because resources for school-readiness
programs are limited, it is particularly important to focus
these resources on the children who need them most. The
study suggests that the children most in need are those
whose mothers are poorly educated and those children
living in poor neighborhoods. Online access:

Analysis of Maintenance Forward
Support Location Operations. A. Geller, D. George, R. S.
Tripp, M. A. Amouzegar, C. R. Roll. 2004.
The Air Force is reexamining its support infrastructure to
focus on the goals of faster deployment, reduction in the
footprint, increased flexibility, and greater personnel
stability. This study examines a potential reconfiguration
of the current support system: the creation of maintenance
forward support locations to consolidate intermediate
maintenance near, but not in, the theater of operations.
Such locations are known as Centralized Intermediate
Repair Facilities, or CIRFs. RAND Corporation studies
found CIRF support of such commodities as F-15 avionics
components, LANTIRN pods, and jet engines to be
effective in today's Air and Space Expeditionary Force
environment. RAND has also looked at potential CIRF
locations, reduction of deployment footprint, and the
command and control system supporting repair and other
processes. The report recommends that the Air Force
explore the use of CIRFs outside of the United States as
well as within, establish an Operational Support Center at
each Major Command, and centralize "ownership" of
engines and pods. An extended analysis of centralized
ownership
is
appended.

Implications for Education and Training Infrastructure. D.
G. Levy, J. S. Moini, T. Kaganoff, E. G. Keating, C. H.
Augustine, T. K. Bikson, K. Leuschner, S. M. Gates.
2004.
The Department of Defense (DoD) often improves its
efficiency by consolidating facilities (mainly through base
realignment and closure, or BRAC) and changing its
governance structure. Subsequently, these shifts
significantly affect the education, training, and
development (ET&D) institutions that support DoD
146
personnel. With an eye toward the scheduled round of
BRAC in 2005, the DoD Office of the Chancellor of
Education and Professional Development asked the
RAND Corporation to review specific ways in which past
initiatives have affected ET&D establishments. RAND
researchers focused on four cases from the 1990s-two
institutions that experienced significant infrastructure
change (i.e., through physical relocation) and two that did
not. Based on the lessons learned from the case studies,
they make recommendations for decisionmakers to
consider when moving an institution, remaining at a
location, constructing a new facility, or consolidating
institutions. The researchers also look at the strategies
used by the institutions and their stakeholders to influence
decisions about infrastructure change, focusing on
clarifying roles and improving the ET&D system as a
whole. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

Pharmacy Use and Costs in EmployerProvided Health Plans: Insights for TRICARE Benefit
Design from the Private Sector. G. Joyce, J. D. Malkin, J.
E. Pace. 2004.
The military health system, as well as the private health
care sector, has experienced rapid growth in
pharmaceutical expenditures. In 2002 alone, the
Department of Defense spent about $3 billion on
outpatient pharmacy benefits. As part of an effort to
redesign the TRICARE pharmacy benefit to save costs, the
Department of Defense is considering moving from a twotiered to a three-tiered co-payment system, which will
increase the co-payment for some classes and brands of
drugs. Providers (acting in the interest of their patients)
would, theoretically, have an incentive to prescribe lesscostly options. To predict how changing to a three-tiered
system will affect costs and pharmacy utilization, the
authors use an existing data resource to determine how
beneficiaries age 45 to 64 in private-sector health plans
responded to similar changes in pharmacy benefits. In this
analysis, the authors assess, among other potential
outcomes, how changing to a three-tiered system would
affect aggregate costs and pharmacy utilization and how it
would affect the utilization of specific (high-cost) classes
of medications. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Future Army Bandwidth Needs and
Capabilities. L. Joe, I. Porche. 2004.
Bandwidth becomes increasingly critical to the Army as it
migrates to a new force structure that is knowledge-based
and network-centric. To the user, high bandwidth is useful
because it supports high-volume data exchange, short
delays, and high assurance of connectivity.
Communications networks, however, face severe scaling
issues with increases in the number of network
participants. This results in a shortage of bandwidth, or
network capacity. New technologies, commercial and
military, will continue to increase bandwidth availability
to mobile users, but demand is likely to continue to exceed
supply. The authors examine the Army's projected
demands for communications capacity and describe steps
that can be taken to address the gap between demand and
supply, which include techniques such as higher
frequencies, more efficient routing protocols, adding a
vertical node, and improving operational management of
the network. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Evaluating Value-Added Models for
Teacher Accountability. D. F. McCaffrey, D. M. Koretz,
J. R. Lockwood, L. S. Hamilton. 2004.
Value-added modeling (VAM) to estimate school and
teacher effects is currently of considerable interest to
researchers and policymakers. Recent reports suggest that
VAM demonstrates the importance of teachers as a source
of variance in student outcomes. Policymakers see VAM
as a possible component of education reform through
improved teacher evaluations or as part of test-based
accountability. They are intrigued by VAM because of the
view that its complex statistical techniques can provide
estimates of the effects of teachers and schools that are not
distorted by the powerful effects of such noneducational
factors as family background. This monograph clarifies
the primary questions raised by the use of VAM for
measuring teacher effects, reviews the most important
recent applications of VAM, and discusses a variety of
statistical and measurement issues that might affect the
validity of VAM inferences. The authors identify
numerous possible sources of error and bias in teacher
effects and recommend a number of steps for future
research into these potential errors. They conclude that the
research base is currently insufficient to support the use of
VAM for high-stakes decisions about individual teachers
or schools. It is important that policymakers, practitioners,
and VAM researchers work together, so that research is
informed by the practical needs and constraints facing
users of VAM and that implementation of the models is
informed by an understanding of what inferences and
decisions the research currently supports. Online access:

The Future of Genetically Modified
Crops: Lessons from the Green Revolution. F. Wu, W. P.
Butz. 2004.
Although the number of people in danger of malnutrition
worldwide has decreased significantly in the past 30 years,
thanks in part to the Green Revolution of the 20th century,
an estimated 800 million people still lack adequate access
to food. The world is now on the cusp of a second
potential agricultural revolution, the so-called Gene
147
Revolution, in which modern biotechnology can enable
the production of genetically modified (GM) crops tailored
to address chronic agricultural problems in specific
regions of the world. This monograph report investigates
the circumstances and processes that can induce and
sustain this new agricultural revolution. The authors
compare the Green Revolution with the current GM crop
movement to assess not only the technological differences
in the crops and agricultural methods of these two
movements, but more generally to examine the economic,
cultural, and political factors that influence whether a new
agricultural technology is adopted and accepted by
farmers, consumers, and governments. Online access:

The Veterans Health Administration asked the RAND
National Defense Research Institute, a division of the
RAND Corporation, to undertake a quantitative analysis of
the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA)
system. VERA was instituted in 1997 and was designed to
improve the allocation of the congressionally appropriated
medical care budget to the regional service networks that
compose the Department of Veterans Affairs health
system. The study determines how particular patient and
facility characteristics influence allocations to the regional
service networks and simplifies and refines the models
created in earlier RAND research to reflect policy changes

The 21st Century at Work: Forces
Shaping the Future Workforce and Workplace in the
United States. L. A. Karoly, C. W. A. Panis. 2004.
What are the forces that will continue to shape the U.S.
workforce and workplace over the next 10 to 15 years?
With such inevitabilities as the proliferation and
acceleration of technology worldwide, will more
individuals work at home, will more businesses outsource
their noncore functions—and with what consequences?
Answering such questions can help stakeholders—
workers, employers, educators, and policymakers—make
informed decisions. With its eye on forming sound policy,
the U.S. Department of Labor asked the RAND
Corporation to look at the future of work in the near-to-
medium term. The authors analyzed shifting demographic
patterns, the pace of technological change, and the path of
economic globalization. They observe, for example, that
the workforce will continue to grow—however, at a
markedly declining pace—and that the ongoing education
of employees will be paramount as new technologies, such
as bio- and nanotechnologies, come onto the scene and
develop. They also look at the trend of globalization and
how it fares for the United States' economy and those of
other countries. Overall, the authors provide for the reader
expectations about the key forces in the economy today
and their implications for the future workforce and
workplace, including the size, composition, and skills of
the workforce; the nature of work and workplace
arrangements; and worker compensation. Online access:

U.S. Army Security Cooperation: Toward
Improved Planning and Management. T. S. Szayna, A.
Grissom, J. P. Marquis, T. Young, B. Rosen, Y. Huh.
2004.
In the realm of security cooperation—peacetime activities
undertaken by the U.S. armed services with other armed
forces and countries—the U.S. Army's current planning
process is exceedingly complex, involving a multitude of
actors, problematic incentive systems, an incomplete
information exchange, and a lack of effective measures of
effectiveness. Even some of the stakeholders understand
only certain aspects of the process and/or have only partial
visibility into it. The drivers and demanders of peacetime
cooperative activities undertaken by the U.S. Army with
other countries and militaries (Army International Affairs,
or AIA) tend to have an incomplete understanding of the
resourcing problems and the tradeoffs involved in making
AIA choices. In turn, Headquarters, Department of the
Army (HQDA)—the supplier of AIA resources—has an
incomplete understanding of the benefits of AIA, and the
Army's own resourcing tools are not easily amenable to an
in-depth understanding of the resources it commits to AIA.
The demand for AIA is fundamentally predicated on the
amount of AIA supply provided by HQDA, as opposed to
the latter being the product of policy, strategy, and
resource guidance. Indeed, incrementalism and continuity,
rather than policy and strategy, are the principal driving
agents in the development of AIA resource priorities. In
the post-September 11 security environment, the planning
system of AIA needs greater flexibility and efficiency as a
crucial component of the global war on terrorism. The
need to have flexibility and adaptability in security
cooperation, and to seize opportunities that may be shortlived, has made reform of the security cooperation
planning and implementation process essential. Online

Lessons from the North: Canada's
Privatization of Military Ammunition Production. W. M.
Hix, B. J. Held, E. M. Pint. 2004.
The applicability of lessons learned from the privatization
of Canada's ammunition manufacturing to the U.S.
ammunition industrial base was the goal of this study.
While not an exact analog of the privatization possibilities
open to the U.S. Department of Defense, the privatization
of Canada's ammunition industry does offer important
insights about the factors of a successful privatization.
Specifically, it seems clear that the private sector in both
nations can and will respond to demand for government
ammunition. The Canadian example shows that a
privatized industry will maintain an industrial capability
when required and resourced by the government—but not
without oversight. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Protecting Emergency Responders.
Vol. 3, Safety Management in Disaster and Terrorism
Response. B. A. Jackson, J. C. Baker, M. S. Ridgely, J. T.
Bartis, H. I. Linn. 2004.
In the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks,
the risk of terrorism and the demands of homeland security
are a central component of any discussion of protecting
emergency responders. In addition, the nation faces the
risk of hurricanes, earthquakes, large industrial incidents,
and other natural disasters. During and after such events,
responders face the risk of physical injury, traumatic
stress, and hazardous exposures. Effectively addressing
such risks requires bringing together the capabilities of a
range of response organizations from all levels of
government, nongovernmental organizations, and the
private sector. This study provides recommendations for
preparing for response to such disasters and other largescale incidents. It uses literature review, study interviews
with members of the response community, and
information gathered at the RAND Corporation-National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health workshop
Protecting Emergency Responders: Safety Management in
Major Disaster and Terrorism Response in Arlington, Va.,
on February 27, 2003. From the examples of several largescale response operations (the September 11 terrorist
attacks, Hurricane Andrew, and the Northridge
Earthquake), the authors were led to the conclusion that
the emergency response community should put in place
structures and preparedness efforts that will formalize an
integrated, incident-wide approach to safety management
at major disaster response operations. Online access:

A Methodology for Determining Air
Force Deployment Requirements. D. Snyder, P. H. Mills.
2004.
The Air Force's transition from a threat-based planning
posture to a capabilities-based planning posture suggests
the need for a means to calculate swiftly the manpower
and equipment required to generate those capabilities. This
book outlines just such a methodology for determining
manpower and equipment deployment requirements. The
methodology employs a prototype research tool called the
Strategic Tool for the Analysis of Required Transportation
(START). The START program generates lists of
capability units, called Unit Type Codes, which are
required to support a user-specified operation. The
program also estimates materiel movement requirements
to achieve initial operating capability at deployed
locations. The appendix to this book serves as a user's
guide to the START program. A fully implemented tool
based on this prototype should prove to be useful for both
deliberate planning crisis-action planning. Online access:

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's
(NASA's) establishment and use of wind tunnel and
propulsion test facilities have helped the United States
build and maintain aerospace competitive advantage
across the military, commercial, and space sectors. Are
these major facilities continuing to serve the current and
future needs of the nation at large? At the request of
Congress and NASA, the RAND Corporation performed a
yearlong study of the 31 such facilities at three NASA
centers. The study examined current and future national
needs for wind tunnel and propulsion test facilities, the
technical competitiveness of NASA's facilities, functional
overlap and redundancy among NASA facilities, and
management issues. The study recommends that NASA
149
develop an aeronautics test technology vision and plan;
analyze the viability of a national test facility plan with the
Department of Defense; continue to use an appropriate
mix of facility, computational, and flight testing; maintain
an identified minimum set of NASA facilities, specifically
leaving out two facilities that are not serving national
needs and are weakly competitive, redundant, and poorly
utilized; identify financial shared support to keep its
underutilized but important facilities from entering
financial collapse; and pursue selected investments in test
facilities. A companion report (Wind Tunnel and

The Air Force Chief of Staff Logistics
Review: Improving Wing-Level Logistics. K. Lynch, J.
G. Drew, D. George, R. S. Tripp, C. R. Roll, J. Leftwich.
2004.
General Michael D. Ryan, Chief of Staff of the Air Force,
initiated a review-the Chief's Logistics Review, or CLR-in
late 1999 to develop improvement options for mitigating
wing-level logistics problems. The Air Force conducted
this review as a joint effort with the RAND Corporation,
choosing RAND to act as its analytic advisor. The
objective was to target process and process-enabler
shortfalls that limited the logistics community's ability to
meet increasing readiness demands. CLR incorporated a
structured methodology focused on identifying process
problems and presenting options for their correction.
There was active major command participation and a
sequential review process. The report presents background
information and describes the analytic approach (including
RAND's role in its development) and results of CLR
(Phase 1), and it describes how solution options designed
to improve wing-level logistics processes were
implemented, tested, and then evaluated at selected air
bases (Phase 2). Conclusions and specific issues for
further consideration are presented, along with insights
that should be of value to Air Force logisticians, operators,

Hof, J. S. Iverson, L. van Laerhoven. 2004.
The information and communication revolution has shifted
the landscape on which business operates. With the current
speed of change uncertainties multiply and the competitive
landscape becomes increasingly complex. Out of the
marriage of global markets, ICT, and competitiveness, the
so-called virtual, smart organisation (VSO) has emerged.
The VSO builds a network based on the best use of
information technologies. This includes the use of the
Internet for bidding, ordering, and tracking product, for
monitoring service delivery, and checking on consumer
satisfaction. It also includes the application of software
and data management for internal corporate operations that
free up human capital to focus on creative, innovation
solutions to business problems. In order to better
understand business-to-business VSO operations in
Europe, this report presents the results of expert interviews
and case studies to explore why and how organisations "go
smart" and/or "virtual," and what role government could
play in creating a more favourable environment to enable
competitiveness. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Working Around the Military:
Challenges to Military Spouse Employment and
Education. M. C. Harrell, N. Lim, L. W. Castaneda, D.
Golinelli. 2004.
The characteristics of U.S. military life are generally well
known-deployments, frequent relocation, long and
unpredictable work schedules, and so on. But these factors
also restrict the ability of service members' spouses to
pursue their own employment or educational interests.
This research confirms that, while many military spouses
work and seek education similar to their "look-alike"
civilian counterparts, they often lag these equals in terms
of finding jobs and receiving comparable pay. Why, for
example, are military spouses being paid less than their
civilian counterparts even when all other observable
factors between the two groups, such as educational level,
are equal? A team of RAND researchers quantified the
differences between military spouses and their civilian
counterparts; it then explored the reasons for these
differences, based on interviews with more than 1,100
military spouses. The discussions provide an
understanding of military spouses' jobs, their motivations
for working, and their general perceptions and struggles
with the military lifestyle in relation to career and
education. The research shows that many military spouses
view elements of military life as a hindrance to their
careers and pursuit of education. In response, the
researchers recommend, for example, that the Department
of Defense increase the affordability and accessibility of
education for military spouses, continue to explore child
care solutions, and seek positive relationships with local
and national employers. In the long run, effectively
improving the quality-of-life issues for service members
and spouses will help the department retain the qualified
personnel it needs. Online access: http://

Causes, Consequences, and Policy Options. J. Grant, S.

Hale, S. Gibson, W. P. Butz. 2004.
In the ongoing Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)
process, lands containing unexploded ordnance (UXO) left
over from military training have proved particularly
difficult and costly to transfer to new users. With a few
exceptions, little progress has been made in transferring
these lands. This monograph chronicles the issues that
facilitated the transfer of land containing UXO, and those
that slowed the transfer. Some of the "facilitating" issues
are low density of UXO, a small number of recipients, and
strong financial incentives for the new user. Lack of
regulatory involvement or oversight also helped facilitate
transfer. On the other side, lack of knowledge about the
location, quantities, and type of unexploded ordnance,
inadequate performance of detection technologies, and an
absence of accepted standards for cleanup all slowed
transfers. The authors suggest an alternative organization
for handling the transfer, in this case a federal government
corporation, along with other mechanisms as ways to

Nearly all European nations are experiencing long-term
downtrends in fertility, and consequently, ageing of their
populations. These demographic trends could have
potentially damaging consequences for European
economies. Concern over these trends has sparked intense
debate over the most effective policies to reverse them or
mitigate their consequences. Three broad policy
approaches have been considered: (1) encourage
childbearing (marriage and cohabitation) among younger
couples; (2) increase immigration of working-age people;
and (3) reform social policy more generally, in order to
ameliorate the negative consequences of these trends. The
study intends to improve understanding of the
interrelations between policy and demographic change. It
examines the interrelations between European government
policies and demographic trends and behaviour, and
assesses which policies can prevent or mitigate the adverse
consequences of current low fertility and population
ageing. Therefore, a framework has been developed
highlighting the interrelationships among government
policies, macro-level conditions and household-level
demographic behaviour, all of which combine to influence
population factors. Guided by this framework, three
research tasks were carried out: (1) the research literature
was reviewed; (2) European demographic data were
examined; and (3) case studies of five countries were
conducted. The study has resulted in several conclusions
and implications for European policymaking. The study
assesses which policies can prevent or mitigate the adverse
consequences of current low fertility and population
ageing. A framework highlights the interrelationships
among government policies, macro-level conditions and
household-level demographic behaviour. Guided by this
framework, the research literature was reviewed; European
demographic data were examined; and case studies of five
countries were conducted. Online access:

Reporters on the Battlefield: The
Embedded Press System in Historical Context. C. Paul, J.
J. Kim. 2004.
Clear differences between the missions and goals of the
press and those of the military, particularly centering
around the issues of access and operational security, make
historical tensions between the two unsurprising and
complete avoidance of tension unlikely. However,
significant overlaps, including core goals of
professionalism and public service, make cooperation a
reasonable possibility. This book traces the back-and-forth
interactions between the press and the military over the
past several decades. In Vietnam, the press enjoyed high
levels of access to events, largely because of the relatively
amicable relationship that had developed between the
press and the military, particularly in World War II.
However, this relationship experienced a significant shift
during the Vietnam War-news coverage critical of both the
war and the military engendered tensions. The legacy of
these tensions significantly influenced military-press
relations in later operations in Grenada, Panama, and the
first Gulf War. Another notable shift occurred during the
first Gulf War, however, establishing the basis for new
kinds of press access, which ultimately led to the
embedded press system used in the second Gulf War. The
outcomes and goals for the press and the military are also
explored in relation to each other and those for the public.

Urban Battle Fields of South Asia:
Lessons Learned from Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan. C.
C. Fair. 2004.
This study examines several case studies of sustained
campaigns of urban terrorism perpetrated by various
domestic groups in the countries of India, Pakistan and Sri
Lanka. One focus of this research addresses the modus
operandi of the militant outfits. It describes the tactics they
employ, their targeting means and objectives, and the
ways in which these groups have innovated and evolved
over time. This report illuminates, where possible, links
that militant groups forge with other such organizations
within South Asia and beyond. This work also examines
151
the ways in which the three states respond to the menace
of urban terrorism. It explains how each state mobilizes its
security apparatuses (military, paramilitary, police),
intelligence agencies as well as legislative and judicial
bodies to counter the emerging threats. Finally, this
research identifies key insights from these country-specific
case studies that may inform U.S. stability operations in
the cities of Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. Online

Aid During Conflict: Interaction
Between Military and Civilian Assistance Providers in

McGinn, M. J. Dziedzic, A. Grissom, B. Pirnie, N.
Bensahel, A. I. Guven. 2004.
Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan may
eventually be seen as a turning point for U.S. government
involvement in complex humanitarian-assistance
operations. From the perspectives of both military and
civilian assistance providers, the first year in Afghanistan
was generally successful: A major humanitarian disaster
was averted, refugee flows were handled effectively, and
assistance helped stabilize the country. At the same time,
there were serious problems of coordination among the
various military and civilian personnel providing
humanitarian and humanitarian-type assistance. Some
aspects of OEF, such as the continuation of major combat
operations while simultaneously conducting reconstruction
and state-building activities, were unique, and even
potentially precedent-setting. Other aspects, such as
tension between military and civilian assistance providers
over proper roles, were familiar from past operations. This
report assesses relief, reconstruction, humanitarian, and
humanitarian-type aid efforts in Afghanistan from October
2001 to June 2002. Since this was the most intense phase
of military operations, the study emphasizes the military
aspect of civil-military operations. It identifies critical
issues, both positive and negative, and evaluates
coordination among various civilian and military aid
providers. The report concludes with a list of
recommendations for government policymakers,
implementers, and civilian aid providers, based on the
lessons learned from the Afghanistan experience. Online

Air Force Procurement Workforce
Transformation: Lessons from the Commercial Sector. J.
A. Ausink, L. H. Baldwin, C. Paul. 2004.
The Air Force is in the process of significantly changing
the way it purchases goods and services, with the goals of
reducing costs and increasing performance to better
support its missions. A procurement transformation
division was created to lead these implementation efforts,
and the new division highlighted two related areas for
particular emphasis: (1) implementation of crossfunctional teams (commodity councils) to develop
strategies for individual commodity groups and (2)
procurement workforce development to support
implementation. This monograph reviews commercialsector commodity council activities and skills. A
preliminary review of the Defense Acquisition
University's and Air Force Institute of Technology's
curricula indicate that they currently cover a number of the
needed skills; however, there are fewer, if any,
opportunities to learn some of the more-sophisticated
skills associated with the new purchasing and supply
management practices the Air Force is implementing. The
monograph's literature review and commercial sector
interviews suggest that training programs tend to be
multifunctional, involving personnel with diverse
backgrounds that are relevant to new practices. Training
programs are matched to learning goals; structured
classroom or web-based learning is used to develop
foundational skills whereas more-applied forms of
learning such as formal on-the-job training (OJT) and
mentoring programs are used to develop higher levels of
expertise. Finally, the monograph includes a framework of
metrics to track progress and refine procurementworkforce-development efforts over time. Online access:

Challenges and Potential of a
Collaborative Approach to Education Reform. S. J.
Bodilly, J. Chun, G. Ikemoto, S. Stockly. 2004.
Dissatisfied with the results of earlier efforts to improve
educational outcomes in U.S. schools, the Ford
Foundation developed a program called the Collaborating
for Education Reform Initiative (CERI) that provided
grants to collaboratives of community-based organizations
in urban settings as a way to address systemic barriers to
high-quality teaching and learning. Eight collaboratives
signed on, and, over four years, the RAND Corporation
assessed the progress of the program. The authors of this
report found that the eight sites made varying degrees of
progress and, while none had reached the final outcomes
desired, some of the collaboratives offered considerable
promise. Although success is far from certain, by adopting
such techniques as clear communication of expectations,
engaging school staff, and using data to alter strategies as
necessary, collaboratives stand a better chance of
becoming self-sustaining and positively affecting student
learning. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Triage for Civil Support: Using
Military Medical Assets to Respond to Terrorist Attacks.

Even before the events of September 11, 2001, threat
assessments suggested that the United States should
prepare to respond to terrorist attacks inside its borders.
This monograph examines the use of military medical
assets to support civil authorities in the aftermath of a
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or conventional
high explosives attack inside the United States. In
conducting this study, the authors focused on the
following questions: Under what circumstances could
military medical assets be requested? What sort of asset is
likely to be requested? Are appropriate assets and related
planning processes in place for civil support? What are the
legal (and other) barriers to military support to civil
authorities, and how can they be overcome, if necessary?
In addition to a discussion of the applicable literature and
laws, this monograph also includes historical case studies
focusing on instances in which military medical assets
were requested to assist civil authorities following natural
disasters. It also includes a review of two exercises, based
on postulated attacks, involving senior officials from local,
state, and federal agencies-one involving a smallpox attack
in Georgia and another involving a "dirty bomb" attack in
California. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Gifts of the Muse: Reframing the
Debate About the Benefits of the Arts. K. F. McCarthy, E.
H. Ondaatje, L. Zakaras, A. C. Brooks. 2004.
Faced with intense competition for audiences and financial
support, as well as adverse political fallout from the
"culture wars" of the early 1990s, arts advocates have
increasingly sought to make a case for the arts in terms of
their instrumental benefits to individuals and communities.
In this report documenting the most comprehensive study
of its kind, the authors evaluate the strengths and
weaknesses of these instrumental arguments and make the
case that a new approach to understanding the benefits of
the arts is needed. Critical of what they view as an
overemphasis on instrumental benefits, the authors call for
a greater recognition of the intrinsic benefits of the arts
experience, provide a more comprehensive framework for
assessing the private and public value of both intrinsic and
instrumental benefits, and link the realization of those
benefits to the nature of arts involvement. In particular,
they underscore the importance of sustained involvement
in the arts to the achievement of both instrumental and
intrinsic benefits. This study has important policy
implications for access to the arts, childhood exposure to
the arts, arts advocacy, and future research on the arts.

S. McMahon, C. W. Yost. 2004.
Although responding to terrorist attacks and other
domestic emergencies is primarily the responsibility of
various civilian agencies, the U.S. Army has always had a
role to play in filling any gaps in civilian capability.
Should the Army adopt a hedging strategy to meet the
risks of future terrorist attacks and other emergencies? The
authors lay out five possible shortfalls in civilian and
Army capabilities and suggest five possible responses the
Army can begin today to ameliorate future risks. They also
estimate the costs, both monetary and political, of the
responses. They conclude that the nation needs to decide
whether to bear the costs today in order to hedge against
future risks. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Arts Education Partnerships: Lessons
Learned from One School District's Experience. M. K.
Rowe, L. W. Castaneda, T. Kaganoff, A. E. Robyn. 2004.
Arts education in the nation's public schools is facing
some tough challenges despite receiving strong public
support and despite the growing evidence of its wideranging benefits. To address this situation, the Los
Angeles Unified School District in 1999 approved a tenyear program to implement a substantive, sequential
curriculum in arts education for all students in
kindergarten through grade 12. A central goal of the plan
is for schools to build partnerships with the Los Angeles
arts community to provide educational programming for
students, beginning with selected elementary schools in
the Arts Prototype Schools (APS) program. This study
examined the range of partnerships in operation and
identified the common partnership challenges and
facilitators. The authors conducted in-depth interviews
with key stakeholders, including APS principals and
teachers, local district arts advisors, and directors of arts
organizations. This monograph report presents findings
from these interviews and provides recommendations for
improving the partnerships between arts organizations and
schools. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

Information Sharing Among Military
Headquarters: The Effects on Decisionmaking. W. L.
Perry, J. Moffat. 2004.
Military commanders work within stressful and fastchanging circumstances and need to understand the
complexities of decisionmaking in intricate networks. New
concepts such as network-centric operations and
distributed and decentralised command and control have
been suggested as technologically enabled replacements
for platform-centric operations and for centralised
command and control in military operations. But as
attractive as these innovations may seem, they must be
tested before adoption. This report, conducted by a joint
US/UK team, proposes a theoretical method to assess the
153
effects of information gathering and collaboration across
an information network on military decisions taken by a
group of local decisionmakers. The authors use the Rapid
Planning Process and previous work on the effects of
network-centric warfare to analyse the quality of decisions
in an alternative structure. Specifically, they assess the
effects of collaboration across alternative information
network structures in carrying out a time-critical task,
identify the benefits and costs of local collaboration using
a relationship based on information entropy, and look at
how a multitude of unneeded information, or "information
overload", affects a system. Online access:

Capping Non-Economic Awards in
Medical Malpractice Trials: California Jury Verdicts
under MICRA. N. M. Pace, D. Golinelli, L. Zakaras.
2004.
Concerns over the price and availability of medical
malpractice insurance have sparked a vigorous national
debate over proposed federal legislation calling for limits
on trial awards and attorneys' fees in medical malpractice
cases. A model for such limits is the Medical Injury
Compensation Reform Act (MICRA), a law enacted in
California in 1975 in the hope of controlling soaring
medical malpractice insurance premiums and ensuring the
continuing availability of malpractice insurance coverage.
MICRA caps awards for non-economic losses, such as
pain or suffering, at $250,000 and limits plaintiffs'
attorney fees. The authors studied the effects of MICRA
on plaintiffs' awards and on defendants' liabilities and in
doing so addressed a number of questions: How have
MICRA's caps on non-economic damages affected the
final judgments in California jury trials? What types of
cases and claims are most likely to have an award cap
imposed following trial? What have been the effects of
MICRA on plaintiffs' attorney fees and net recoveries? If
the MICRA cap had been adjusted for inflation, what
would have been the effect on plaintiffs' final awards?

Determinants of Dispensing Location
in the TRICARE Senior Pharmacy Program. J. D. Malkin,
G. Joyce, J. E. Pace, T. Croghan. 2004.
Recent growth is the military health system (MHS) is
partly attributable to the TRICARE Senior Pharmacy
(TSRx) program, which expanded pharmacy coverage for
elderly MHS beneficiaries. In principle, the Department of
Defense (DoD) can reduce its pharmacy acquisition costs
by shifting prescribing from retail pharmacies to MTF
pharmacies and/or the TRICARE mail order pharmacy. To
help develop policy options that can improve DoD's ability
to manage acquisition costs of the TSRx program, this
study provides information about where TSRx
beneficiaries receive their medications and what factors
influence where they choose to obtain their medications.
Among the findings: (1) Although a majority of TSRx
prescriptions in FY02 were dispensed from MTF
pharmacies, a majority of TSRx estimated ingredient costs
were attributable to drugs dispensed from retail
pharmacies. (2) Estimated ingredient costs could be
reduced if dispensing shifted from retail pharmacies to
dispensing locations where federal pricing is the basis of
DoD's ingredient cost. (3) Geographic proximity to MTFs
was strongly associated with TSRx use and utilization
patterns. (4) Within two major therapeutic classesantihyperlipidemics and gastrointestinals-the availability
of a drug at a MTF was associated with increased use of
the MTF and reduced use of retail pharmacies to fill other
prescriptions. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Value Recovery from the Reverse
Logistics Pipeline. D. Diener, E. Peltz, A. Lackey, D. J.
Blake, K. Vaidyanathan. 2004.
Value recovery, in the form of the return and repair of
reparable spare parts, involves large amounts of time as
well as inventory investment for the Army. Sometimes it
is cheaper to buy a new part rather than repair, but some
parts are so expensive that it makes economic sense to
repair them and return them to the inventory, typically as
spares to replace other broken assemblies. This
monograph reports on metrics developed to evaluate the
retrograde processes and establishes a performance
baseline in fiscal year 2000. The data collected indicated
the presence of long repair times: over a month for items
repaired below depot and returned to stock. It took an
average of 82 days to move an item to depot for repair.
These data suggest that the process has substantial
potential for improvement. The authors suggest ways to
speed up the movement of parts through the system to
minimize the size of the parts inventory. Online access:

Momentous events since September 11, 2001—Operation
Enduring Freedom, the global war on terrorism, and the
war in Iraq—have dramatically altered the political
environment of the Muslim world. Many of the forces
influencing this environment, however, are the products of
trends that have been at work for many decades. This book
examines the major dynamics that drive changes in the
religio-political landscape of the Muslim world-a vast and
diverse region that stretches from Western Africa through
the Middle East to the Southern Philippines and includes
Muslim communities and diasporas throughout the worldand draws the implications of these trends for global
154
security and U.S. and Western interests. It presents a
typology of ideological tendencies in the different regions
of the Muslim world and identifies the factors that produce
religious extremism and violence. It assesses key
cleavages along sectarian, ethnic, regional, and national
lines and examines how those cleavages generate
challenges and opportunities for the United States. Finally,
the authors identify possible strategies and political and
military options for the United States to pursue in response
to changing conditions in this critical and volatile part of
the world. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Expanding the Reach of Education
Reforms: Perspectives from Leaders in the Scale-Up of
Educational Interventions. T. K. Glennan, S. J. Bodilly, J.
R. Galegher, K. A. Kerr. 2004.
Over the last few decades, demands that schools serve all
students better and be accountable for student performance
have inspired many education reforms. Meanwhile, the
focus has shifted from assisting individual teachers and
schools to applying proven reforms more widely-scale-up.
The authors of the essays in this volume have helped
extend various reforms beyond the environments in which
they first proved successful. The authors recount the
challenges they faced and the lessons they learned. One
major challenge has been building the capacity in schools,
districts, and states both to implement and to sustain the
reforms. Some elements of successful scale-ups are
adjusting programs for differing cultural and policy
environments, implementing quality-control mechanisms,
ensuring that all supports are in place (including
financing), and fostering a sense of ownership. Success
with any design requires participants at all levelsdevelopers, teachers, schools, districts, and states-to
cooperate in an iterative and complex and process that,
among other things, aligns the program with local
accountability requirements and provides the policies and
infrastructure that will sustain the practices for the long
term. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

The Returns from Arthritis Research.
Vol. 1, Approach, Analysis and Recommendations. S.
Wooding, S. Hanney, M. Buxton, J. Grant. 2004.
There is increasing pressure for research funders to
demonstrate, and seek to maximise, the payback from the
research they fund. This report, prepared for and funded
by the Arthritis Research Campaign (arc), presents the
results of an evaluation of 16 research grants awarded by
arc in the early 1990s. The main objective was to develop
a system for evaluating arthritis research, with a view to
allowing arc to stimulate and manage the exploitation of
research advances so that they translate into outcomes of
practical benefit to people with arthritis. The report
presents a framework that conceptualises the relationship
between research inputs, process, output and outcomes.
Using this framework, we catalogue a diverse range of
research output and outcomes arising from these 16 grants
and make a series of quantitative and qualitative
assessments comparing, for example, payback from
project grants versus programme grants. In conclusion, we
make six observations: —There is a diversity of research
payback. —The researcher is the key driver of research
translation. —Short, focused project grants seem to
provide value for money. —Intended and unintended
flexibility in funding is used advantageously. —Referees'
contributions to the peer-review process are of variable
benefit. —The payback framework could be
operationalised and embedded by arc. The companion
Volume 2 is a collection of the case studies. These case
studies all follow a similar format based on the conceptual
model and provide a rich and detailed narrative on the
payback of each research grant. Online access:

The U.S. Air Force is committed to the Air and Space
Expeditionary Force concept and the transformation that is
necessary for it to project power quickly to any region of
the world. Forward positioning of heavy war reserve
materiel (WRM) resources in optimal forward support
locations (FSLs) is key to the Air Force's ability to
respond to a wide variety of potential scenarios. This
monograph evaluates a set of global FSL basing and
transportation options for storing WRM. The authors
present an analytical framework that can be used to
evaluate alternative FSL options. A central component of
the authors' framework is an optimization model that

Compensation for Losses from the 9/11
Attacks. L. S. Dixon, R. K. Stern. c2004.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, caused
tremendous loss of life, property, and income, and the
resulting response from public and private organizations
was unprecedented. This monograph examines the benefits
received by those who were killed or seriously injured in
the attacks and the benefits provided to individuals and
businesses in New York City that suffered losses from the
attack on the World Trade Center. The authors examine
the performance of the four basic mechanisms of the
compensation system in the United States—insurance, the
tort system, government programs, and charity—in
155
responding to the losses stemming from the events of 9/11.
This assessment should be useful in understanding how
the losses created by 9/11 differ from those following

used to develop objectives for compensation in the event
of a future major attack. Online access: http://

Portfolio Analysis and Investment
Strategy for Naval Research and Development. R. S.
Silberglitt, L. Sherry, C. Wong, M. S. Tseng, E. Ettedgui,
A. Watts, G. Stothard. 2004.
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has the
responsibility for defining and sponsoring research and
development (R&D) necessary to support both the current
and future requirements of the Navy and Marine Corps. To
accomplish this mission, ONR must fund a broad spectrum
of research, ranging from basic research needed to open up
new options for the long-term to near-term advanced
technology development to support the current fleet.
Moreover, ONR must make its R&D funding decisions in
the presence of uncertainty: uncertainty in required
capabilities, in performance requirements, and in the
feasibility of a technology or R&D approach. This
monograph describes the adaptation of an R&D portfolio
management (PortMan) decision framework developed by
the RAND Corporation to support ONR's R&D
decisionmaking, and the demonstration of its use by means
of a case study evaluation of 20 sample ONR appliedresearch projects. PortMan computes the expected value of
an R&D project as the product of three factors estimated
by experts: value to the military of the capability sought
through R&D, the extent to which the performance
potential matches the level required to achieve the
capability, and the project's transition probability. This
approach allows identification of those R&D projects with
high-value capabilities but formidable technical or fielding
problems that remain to be solved-projects for which
management attention may have the greatest leverage.

2004.
This report summarizes the research literature on virtual
collaboration, focusing on interactive virtual
collaborations in real or near-real time. In particular, it
reviews how the processes and outcomes of virtual
collaborations are affected by the communication medium
(videoconferencing, audioconferencing, or computermediated conferencing). It then discusses how problems in
such collaboration can be mitigated and opportunities
realized. Problems include increased "us vs. them"
divisions and misunderstandings, as well as shifts toward
risky options. Opportunities include broadening the range
of views and options, as well as broadening the range of
available experts. The report suggests a strategy for
choosing the most effective medium, including face-toface communication and hybrid systems, as a function of
task and context (e.g., convergence on a decision or

Assessment of 24-Hour Care Options
for California. D. Farley, M. Greenberg, C. Nelson, S. A.
Seabury. 2004.
Employers, insurers, and policymakers in California have
been searching for options to the current California
workers' compensation benefits system, which has both
the highest and the fastest-growing insurance premium
costs in the country. Proponents of a type of insurance
program called 24-hour care believe that such a program
could yield substantial workers' compensation savings. A
24-hour care plan would consolidate employers' health
care benefits, and possibly disability benefits, for both
work-related and non-work-related claims, and services
could be delivered by the same group of providers under a
coordinated insurance package. (The name "24-hour care"
derives from the premise that a single benefit mechanism
can cover health care needs following an injury wherever
it occurs during the day, either at work or at home.) In this
monograph, the authors present the results of their
assessment of the value of 24-hour care as a mechanism
for reducing workers' compensation costs, while
maintaining or improving the quality of care. The authors
discuss possible options for 24-hour care models,
including one that consolidates only medical care services
and one that consolidates both services and health
insurance. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Final Report on Assessment
Instruments for a Prospective Payment System. J.
Buchanan, P. L. Andres, S. M. Haley, S. M. Paddock, D.
C. Young, A. M. Zaslavsky. 2004.
High numbers of voluntary departures from the services
by military pilots have periodically caused considerable
concern among military administrators and policymakers,
both recently and in previous periods of high attrition. In
this study, the authors explore some determinants of the
fixed-wing (airplane) pilot attrition problem among male
pilots in the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, and the
responsiveness of attrition to changes in military
compensation. The authors estimated a pilot attrition
model that examines the impact on attrition from factors
such as compensation, civilian airline hiring, and
deployment. This study produced several noteworthy
findings, including: (1) Increases in major airline hiring
tend to increase military pilot voluntary departures to a
great degree in the Air Force and to a lesser extent in the
Navy; (2) although attrition was found to be quite
responsive to bonus pay, counteracting a sizable increase
in major airline hiring could be costly, particularly for the
Air Force; (3) the significant impact of civilian major
airline hiring on pilot attrition calls for a pilot management
plan that will enable the armed forces to respond to strong

Exploring Information Superiority: A
Methodology for Measuring the Quality of Information
and Its Impact on Shared Awareness. W. L. Perry, D.
Signori, J. Boon. 2004.
As the war on terrorism wages on, our nation's
policymakers will continue to face the challenge of
assessing threats that various terrorist groups pose to the
U.S. homeland and our interests abroad. In addition, the
struggle against terrorism likely will be in constant
competition with other U.S. international policy issues that
come to the fore. As part of the RAND Corporation's
yearlong "Thinking Strategically About Combating
Terrorism" project, the authors of this report develop a
way to assess, analyze, and prioritize the danger posed by
various terrorist organizations around the world. The
authors also look at how different terrorist groups adapt
and change over time, emphasizing that understanding
these changes may help policymakers identify terrorists'
greatest vulnerabilities. Of course, the very nature of
terrorism creates a difficulty in predicting new and
emerging threats; however, by establishing these types of
parameters, the report creates a fresh foundation of threat
analysis on which future counterterrorism strategy may
This report discusses a design for a prospective payment
system (PPS) for inpatient rehabilitation facilities. Such
systems pay providers a predetermined, fixed price (per
day, per episode, or per case). Since the payment is
independent of the amount of service provided, these
systems are thought to create an incentive for efficient,
cost-conscious care. A new assessment tool has been
developed for PPS for rehabilitation facilities—the
Minimum Data Set - Post-Acute Care (MDS-PAC)—and
it replaces the former measure—the Functional
Independence Measure (FIM). The MDS-PAC is a
comprehensive data collection tool, with over 300 items,
including sociodemographic information, pre-admission
history, advance directives, cognitive and communication
patterns, mood and behavior patterns, functional status,
bladder/bowel management, diagnoses, medical
complexities, pain status, oral/nutritional status,
procedures/services, functional prognosis, and resources
for discharge. To use the MDS-PAC in the new payment
system, researchers needed a way to create a FIM-like
motor score and a FIM-like cognitive score. A translation
was begun, which took several items from the MDS-PAC
and converted them into FIM-like items. By summing the
"pseudo-FIM" motor items from the MDS-PAC, a motor
scale was created. In the same way, "pseudo-FIM"
cognitive items were created and summed to form a
cognitive scale. The goal of the report was to determine
whether the planned substitution of the MDS-PAC for the
FIM in the proposed inpatient rehabilitation hospital
prospective payment system would adversely affect
system performance, patients, or hospitals. Online access:

Final Report on Assessment
Instruments for a Prospective Payment System:
Appendices. J. Buchanan, P. L. Andres, S. M. Haley, S.
M. Paddock, D. C. Young, A. M. Zaslavsky. 2004.
These appendices accompany a report that evaluates
alternative assessment tools for use in a prospective
payment system (PPS) for inpatient rehabilitation
facilities. They include samples of study forms and
instructions; descriptions of measures; recruitment and
participation letters; characteristics of participating
facilities; sample study newsletters; and sampling
protocols. The PPS was designed for use with the
Functional Independence Measure. Policymakers hoped to
substitute a new, more comprehensive, multipurpose
assessment instrument, the Minimum Data Set-Post-Acute
157
Care (MDS-PAC). This study compares the potential
effects of this substitution. The MDS-PAC is a
comprehensive data collection tool, with over 300 items,
including sociodemographic information, pre-admission
history, advance directives, cognitive and communication
patterns, mood and behavior patterns, functional status,
bladder/bowel management, diagnoses, medical
complexities, pain status, oral/nutritional status,
procedures/services, functional prognosis, and resources
for discharge. To use the MDS-PAC in the new payment
system, researchers needed a way to create a FIM-like
motor score and a FIM-like cognitive score. A proposed
translation was refined and evaluated. The goal of the
report was to determine whether the planned substitution
of the MDS-PAC for the FIM in the proposed inpatient
rehabilitation hospital prospective payment system would
adversely affect system performance, patients, or
hospitals. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The Future Security Environment in the
Middle East: Conflict, Stability, and Political Change. N.
Bensahel, D. Byman. 2004.
The security environment in the Middle East has become
increasingly complicated during the past decade. This
report identifies several important trends that are shaping
regional security and identifies their implications for the
United States. Many traditional security concerns, such as
energy security and the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, will remain significant factors in the future.
However, ongoing domestic changes throughout the
region will become increasingly important as well. Issues
such as political reform, economic reform, civil-military
relations, leadership change, and the information
revolution are all affecting regional security dynamics.

Federal and State Policies. C. Stasz, S. J. Bodilly, S. C.
Remes, T. J. Chun, D. F. McCaffrey, T. Kaganoff, D.
Barnes. 2004.
How have the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical
Education Act Amendments of 1998 (Perkins III) affected
the state of U.S. secondary education? Congress mandated
a National Assessment of Vocational Education to
determine just that. This report is part of that assessment.
Using a case study sample from seven states and a national
teacher survey, the authors analyzed the results to
determine the impact of Perkins III in fulfilling the overall
goal of improving vocational education. Given the time
constraint (four years is not enough time for full
implementation) and selected sample of states in the study,
the authors conclude that Perkins III is having some
positive affect but only within the framework of the
greater influence of the individual states' generaleducation policies. Online access: http://www.rand.org

Unexploded Ordnance: Critical Review
of Assessment Methods. J. MacDonald, D. S. Knopman,
J. R. Lockwood, G. Cecchine, H. H. Willis. 2004.
Within the boundaries of former military bases in the
United States, unexploded ordnance is causing increasing
concern. Although civilian fatalities from UXO explosions
on U.S. soil have been rare, the risk of such accidents
could increase as more closed bases are transferred from
military to civilian control. The authors evaluate the
technical soundness of existing methods for assessing risks
of UXO at military installations. To conduct the review,
the authors identified the different purposes that UXO
risk-assessment methods must serve. They surveyed riskassessment literature to establish the criteria that a sound
method should satisfy. These criteria were peer-reviewed
by leading experts in risk assessment and modified
accordingly. The authors then reviewed available written
information about existing UXO risk-assessment methods,
tested accompanying software when available, and
discussed the methods with their developers. Finally, they
surveyed other selected federal agencies that manage risks
to determine whether these agencies might have riskassessment methods that could be applied to UXO sites.
The study concludes that none of the available UXO riskassessment methods sufficiently satisfies the criteria for
technical soundness or meets all the needs for UXO risk
assessment. It recommends a path forward for UXO risk
assessment, based on available methods from other
agencies and lessons learned from previous efforts to
develop UXO risk-assessment tools. Online access:

An Operational Process for
Workforce Planning. R. M. Emmerichs, C. Y. Marcum,
A. A. 1944- Robbert. 2004.
Workforce planning is an activity intended to ensure that
investment in human capital results in the timely
capability to effectively carry out an organization's
strategic intent. This report describes a methodology,
developed by RAND at the behest of the Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Civilian Personnel Policy, for
conducting workforce planning-a methodology applicable
in any organization. The report identifies key factors
contributing to successful workforce planning; examines
the purposes of workforce planning; and lays out a process
by which executives and line managers of business units
can identify specific policies and practices for workforce
planning. This process is designed to help an
158
organization's leaders decide whether they want to engage
in workforce planning, understand the mechanics of
workforce planning, identify the resources needed, and
mobilize the key participants to carry out workforce
planning. The authors recommend that senior leaders
explicitly delineate the roles and responsibilities of those
involved workforce planning; that corporate headquarters
develop functional specifications for a human-resource
information system to support workforce planning; and
that corporate headquarters evaluate the availability, costs,
and benefits of comprehensive, integrated workload and
inventory projection models for all categories of
employees, and invest in such models. (See also MR1684/2-OSD.) Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The Research Assessment Exercise is used to assess the
quality of, and determine core government funding for,
research carried out in UK universities. In 2002 this
process was reviewed (http://www.ra-review.ac.uk). This
report provided evidence for the review; it describes
workshops that investigated the academic community's
views of research quality and attitudes towards models of
assessment. Nine facilitated workshops were held in
December 2002, which involved 142 academics and
research managers from throughout the UK. The report
outlines the recurring themes and issues raised by the
participants. Key findings were that the overwhelming
majority of participants thought research should be
assessed using a system based on peer review; that there
was a strong desire for a system with clear rules and
transparent procedures; and that there was a need for
improved systems to assess inter- and multi-disciplinary
research work. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Organizational Policy Levers Can
Affect Acquisition Reform Implementation in Air Force
Repair Contracts. M. E. Chenoweth, S. B. Hunter, B.
Keltner, D. M. Adamson. 2004.
To identify barriers to implementing acquisition reform,
the study team examined the incorporation of Contract
Repair Enhancement Program (CREP) tenets in repair
contracts at Robins Warner Air Logistics Center (ALC).
The study attempted to link successful incorporation to
various organizational levers-policies and practices senior
leadership can use to influence individual behavior to
achieve policy objectives. After a literature review, the
study team conducted a survey at Warner Robins ALC to
assess behaviors and attitudes toward acquisition reform,
with emphasis on the organizational levers that existed
during the CREP initiative. The team then developed
regression models to explore the relationship between
organizational levers and the number of CREP tenets
incorporated in a repair contract. The team found that
organizational levers can help explain contract measures
of success. The results suggest that training in and
fostering positive attitudes toward acquisition reform as
well as effective teaming had consistent statistical
relationship with contract innovation. Online access:

Aligning the Stars: Improvements to
General and Flag Officer Management. M. C. Harrell, H.
Thie, P. Schirmer, K. Brancato. 2004.
Private-sector corporations identify their high-potential
employees early on, placing them in positions in which
they can develop skills that will eventually be of valuable
159
use in senior executive management and leadership
positions. Such investment in these maturing assignments
adds a stability and influence to the company, bringing
years of expertise and experience to the highest levels of
decisionmaking. The Department of Defense (DoD) wants
that same type of experience and tenure in its general and
flag officers (G/FOs) but currently encounters a high
turnover from these most-senior employees. Moreover, a
concern exists that simply lengthening the stay of senior
officers will only clog the system, stagnating promotions
throughout the entire officer corps. In response to this,
RAND researchers analyzed the current system, reviewed
literature on corporate management practices, and
modeled different ways of managing G/FOs. They
categorized officer assignments as either "developing" or
"using" and looked at how much time officers spend in
each to evaluate current and potential promotion flow. In
addition to proposing variations to the promotion model,
the authors address the concerns expressed by those in
DoD and Congress about implementing such changes.

Shipbuilding and Force Structure
Analysis Tool: A User's Guide. M. V. Arena, J. F.
Schank. 2004.
When a major defense review is undertaken, policymakers
must confront a range of complicated issues about the U.S.
Navy's future force structure, including resource concerns
and significant changes in the shipbuilding industrial base.
To help provide options to decisionmakers, analysts in the
Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Chief of Naval
Operations (CNO) staff turn to the available analytical
tools. Realizing that existing tools lacked an integrated
approach to this task, RAND researchers developed an
analysis tool that could provide an environment in which
the user is able to understand the implications of force
structure choices on resource requirements and the private
shipyard industrial base. The Shipbuilding and Force
Structure Analysis Tool consists of four linked models: the
Force Transition Model; the Industrial Base Model; the
Operating and Support Cost Model; and the Financial
Adjustments and Assumptions Model. This document
serves as a basic introduction to the tool. It is intended to
acquaint users with the tool's basic navigational capacities;
guide them through the user interface; provide background
concepts and a description of methodology; offer data
field definitions; and point out the tool's central features.

Evaluation of the Low Back Pain
Practice Guideline Implementation in the Army Medical
Department. D. Farley, G. Vernez, W. Nicholas, E. S.
Quiter, G. J. Dydek, S. Pieklik, S. Cretin. 2004.
RAND is assisting the Army Medical Department to
develop and test methods to effectively implement clinical
practice guidelines in the Army treatment facilities to
achieve consistent and quality clinical care practices
across the Army health system. This report presents the
final results of the evaluation that RAND conducted as
part of the demonstration for the low back pain practice
guideline, which was conducted in 1999 and 2000. The
evaluation includes (1) a process evaluation of the
experiences of the participating military/medical treatment
facilities (MTFs) and (2) a quantitative evaluation to
assess effects on processes of care associated with the
introduction of best practices recommended by the
practice guideline. In the evaluation, the authors assess
the performance of demonstration participants on these
factors: (1) visible and consistent commitment by the U.S.
Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) leadership at all
levels, (2) ongoing monitoring and reporting of
implementation progress in carrying out an action plan, (3)
implementation guidance to the MTFs by MEDCOM, (4)
identification of an effective physician guideline champion
at each MTF, (5) dedicated time and adequate resources
for the guideline champions, and (6) rapid integration of
new practices into a clinic's normal procedures. Guided
by the experiences of the low back pain demonstration, as
well as the subsequent asthma and diabetes guideline
demonstrations, a corporate implementation strategy
emerged that was found to be an effective and efficient
approach for practice guideline implementation in the
Army Medical Department.
Continuous quality
improvement techniques served well in planning and
carrying out the implementation steps: (1) preparation of a
realistic action plan by each MTF that defines a focused
strategy and sets of actions to introduce the guideline and
to change clinic procedures (where needed), (2)
performance of the defined actions by designated staff, (3)
ongoing monitoring of progress in making intended
practice changes through the actions undertaken, and (4)
adjustment of action strategies in response to monitoring
160
findings. This process is based on the recognition that
quality improvement involves a series of manageable,
incremental steps, each of which builds on previous steps
over time to achieve continual improvements in health
care processes and outcomes. Online access:

R. Hamer, M. van het Loo. 2004.
The Dutch Health Care Insurance Board (College voor
Zorgverzekeringen or CVZ for its name in Dutch)
commissioned RAND Europe to perform a qualitative
review of the wishes, needs and opinions of smokers on
the merits and implementation procedures for a
reimbursement program to support quit smoking. Focus
groups were organised with representatives of three target
populations, i.e. smokers with low socio-economic status,
immigrants and smokers with a medical reason to stop.
The smokers involved all had tried to stop with differing
success and would welcome such a scheme, but realised
the definite need for strict rules and procedures. They felt
insurers would need to be the focus for information and
implementation of such a scheme. Further research into
the effectiveness of methods could help to establish which
methods merit reimbursement. For now all methods
should be eligible, but a definite limit to the amount or
number of attempts needs to be included. Online access:

The Effects of Equipment Age on
Mission Critical Failure Rates: A Study of M1 Tanks. E.
Peltz, L. P. Colabella, B. Williams, P. Boren. 2004.
Military budget limits in the late 1990s and the timeline
for the Army's next generation of weapon systems have
resulted in the aging of many of the Army's fleets and
projected extensions in their service lives. There is a
widespread belief that the increases in fleet age will create
readiness and cost problems. The Army is executing
recapitalization programs to rebuild or upgrade selected
weapon systems in order to retain combat capabilities and
hold down maintenance costs. To aid in that effort, this
research assesses the effects of age on mission-critical
failure rates for M1 Abrams tanks. Results suggest that
tank age is a significant predictor of M1 mission-critical
failures, as are usage and location. The aging effect is
estimated at a 3 to 7 percent increase in tank failures per
year of age, about a doubling of the failure rate, over the
first 14 years of a tank's life. The magnitude and pattern of
aging effects were found to differ across tank subsystems,
revealing that a distinct subset of components contributes
to the aging effects. These parts are the best candidates for
replacement with like components in rebuild efforts. Other
components emerge as readiness and/or cost drivers,
whether or not a tank is new or old, indicating the need for
reliability upgrade initiatives rather than simple
replacement with new parts. These findings should help
quantify the value of Abrams recapitalization efforts and
suggest potential subsystems to target in those efforts with
regard to both rebuild and upgrade. Online access:

Air Education and Training Command
Cost and Capacity System:
Implications for
Organizational and Data Flow Changes. T. Manacapilli,
B. Bennett, L. A. Galway, J. Weed. 2004.
This report examines the Air Force's training management
and decision processes to determine the need for data to
support informed decisionmaking. It briefly reviews
training management systems and associated
organizational arrangements in the other services and the
private sector to draw insights for a model management
system for the Air Force. Impediments to training planning
and management in the current Air Force organizational
structure inhibit the flow of cost and capacity data and
hinder effective decisionmaking. A four-level model of
management is developed to evaluate the flow of data in
the Air Education and Training Command (AETC)
training pipeline. In the model, a corporate level validates
and arbitrates training requirements; a strategic training
management level concentrates on the training system's
long-term effectiveness; a training management level
handles the day-to-day operations of training; and a direct
training level delivers training in the classrooms. It is
concluded that a consolidation of the strategic
161
management functions would resolve many current data
flow problems. Methodological tools, including
simulations to evaluate tradeoffs in the training pipeline,
should be developed to improve data combination and
interpretation, particularly in the cost area. A minute-byminute data tracking system would not be cost-effective,

This study describes an analysis of best commercial
practices in purchasing facilities services and food services
and how buyers and providers apply performance-based
practices in their contracts. The authors interviewed
relevant personnel at six commercial firms that are
prominent buyers or providers of these services to draw
"lessons learned" for the Air Force. They found that (1)
two-way communication is at the heart of productive
buyer-provider relationships; (2) a reasonable number of
meaningful performance metrics can enhance
communication; (3) contracts that describe what is needed
rather than how those needs should be met support
provider efforts to innovate and reduce costs; (4)
benchmarking can enhance evaluation of proposals or
performance; (5) formal contractual incentives can be a
powerful tool; and (6) contract flexibility can yield
important performance and cost benefits. Online access:

Lessons from Operation Enduring
Freedom. R. S. Tripp, K. F. Lynch, J. G. Drew, E. W.
Chan. 2004.
Since 1997, RAND has studied options for configuring a
future Agile Combat Support (ACS) system that would
enable Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) goals to
be achieved. Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), in
Afghanistan, offered an opportunity to examine the
implementation of new ACS concepts in a contingency
environment. In 2000, Project AIR FORCE helped
evaluate combat support lessons from Joint Task Force
Noble Anvil (JTF NA), the U.S. component of Operation
Allied Force (OAF), in Serbia. Joint Task Force Noble
Anvil was the organization overseeing U.S. forces
involved in OAF. This report concentrates on Air Force
operations conducted by Joint Task Force Noble Anvil.
Some of the concepts and lessons learned from JTF NA
were implemented in supporting OEF. Supporting Air and
Space Expeditionary Forces: Lessons from Operation
Enduring Freedom presents an analysis of combat support
experiences associated with Operation Enduring Freedom
and compares these experiences with those associated with
Operation Allied Force The analysis offered an
opportunity to compare findings and implications from
JTF NA and OEF. Its objectives were to indicate the
performance of combat support in OEF, examine how
ACS concepts were implemented in OEF, and compare
JTF NA and OEF experiences to determine similarities
and applicability of lessons across experiences and to
determine whether some experiences are unique to
particular scenarios. This analysis concentrates on U.S.
Air Force operations in support of OAF—specifically,
Joint Task Force Noble Anvil and the first 100 days of
OEF. The report focuses on experiences from OEF and
what those experiences imply for a combat support system
designed to ensure that AEF goals can be achieved. It
does not address other portions of the War on Terrorism,
such as Homeland Defense (for example, Operation Noble
Eagle). Both JTF NA and OEF illustrate, among other
things, that more attention should be focused on political
agreements and engagement policies required to develop
forward operating locations. As well, in many cases in
JTF NA and OEF, the current resource-usage factors are
more demanding than the assumptions used to fund
resources—an imbalance that creates resource shortages
that occur in contingency operations. Task Force Enduring
Look (AF/CVAX) sponsored this research, which was
conducted in the Resource Management Program of
Project AIR FORCE, in coordination with the Air Force
Deputy Chief of Staff for Installations and Logistics
(AF/IL) and the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Air
and Space Operations (AF/XO). The research for this
report was completed in February 2003. This report should
be of interest to logisticians, operators, and mobility
planners throughout the Department of Defense, especially

Measuring Changes in Service Costs to
Meet the Requirements of the 2002 National Defense
Authorization Act. C. Shirley, J. A. Ausink, L. H.
Baldwin. 2004.
The 2002 National Defense Authorization Act set goals
for the Department of Defense to achieve savings in
service contract expenditures over a ten-year period
through changes in contracting practices and
improvements in management techniques. The authors of
this report investigated ways to measure whether the Air
Force is achieving these cost-reduction goals.
Measurement of changes in the cost of purchased services
over time first requires defining a clear universe of those
services. A successful service cost methodology then must
control for changes in the nature of services purchased
over time and estimate what those services would have
cost in a given year in the absence of changes in
contracting practices and management techniques. The Act
162
requires the measurements to be reported not only
historically but also forecast up to five years into the
future. The authors recommend how best to implement
each element of the legislative requirement among
services that have stable demand. Statistical analyses can
then extrapolate savings estimates to those with less stable
demand. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) is to reduce and prevent
occupational disease, injury, and death of workers by
advancing federal research on personal protective
technologies. NPPTL asked RAND to review available
databases that provide disease, injury, and fatality data
pertinent to emergency response functions and the role of
personal protective technology. This report collects and
synthesizes available data on casualties experienced by the
emergency responder population for the purpose of
estimating the frequency, causes, and characterization of
those casualties. The authors examined data separately for
firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical
technicians (EMTs). They also broke down the data by
nature of injury, incidence of injury, activity in which the
responder was engaged when injured, and seriousness of
injury. The greatest amount of data exist for the firefighter
community; a lesser amount for police officers. Data for
EMTs are still scarce, but this situation is improving. The
available data can provide a route for identifying
combinations of kinds and causes of injury, body parts
involved, and types of responder activity where injury
reduction efforts might be most effectively applied. Online

Possibility or Utopia? Consumer Choice
in Health Care: A Literature Review. I. van Beusekom, S.
Tönshoff, H. de Vries, C. Spreng, E. B. Keeler. 2004.
This literature review examines consumer choice in health
insurance plans against the background of the German
health system in order to inform the questions: What are
models of consumer choice and their effects?, and: If
consumers want lower cost health care, what instruments
can insurers use to provide it and what are the likely
effects of those instruments? The review looked at
experiences in other industrialized countries, especially the
United States, for consumer choice options such as copayments, reimbursement/bonuses, and deductibles, as
well as organizational designs such as gatekeeper systems
and selective contracting. In addition to cost-containment
measures, the review also examined what was known
about effects on health status, satisfaction, fairness and the
macro-economic situation. The review describes the health
economics theory of consumer choice, the methodology
for the literature review, the German health system, and
studies on consumer choice of insurers and providers, and
reflects on their relevance on the German system. Online

Hoofdonderzoek Naar De
Reistijdwaardering in Het Vervoer Van Goederen over De
Weg = Main Survey into the Value of Time in Freight
Transport by Road. G. de Jong, S. Bakker, M. Pieters.
2004. (In Dutch)
A study was carried out in 2003 for AVV Transport
Research Centre to establish monetary values for transport
time and reliability in goods transport by road in the
Netherlands. This study is an update of an investigation
from 1992, in which the segmentation has been adapted to
reflect the increased importance of container transport.
The new values are derived for use in cost-benefit analyses
of infrastructure projects, which often have transport time
savings as one of the major benefits. The present study
consists of revealed preference (RP) and stated preference
(SP) interviews among shippers and carriers in road
freight transport. On the basis of these interviews, discrete
choice models were estimated. These models provide
trade-off ratios between transport time and transport costs
and between reliability and transport costs of time, which
in combination with the factor costs give the monetary
values of transport time and reliability. Online access only:

Long Range Energy R&D: A
Methodology for Program Development and Evaluation.
J. T. Bartis. 2004.
This report presents a disciplined planning process for
evaluating technology development options to meet longterm future energy needs. The six-step process, called the
IntraTech approach, begins by developing a foundation for
strategic planning. The first step identifies and evaluates
problems that threaten continued reliance on current
energy sources. The second step uses this threat
information to establish strategic goals for long-range
research and development (R&D). A major advantage of
this planning foundation is that it avoids the use of
detailed projections of energy supply and demand, which
overly constrain long-term R&D planning. The remaining
four IntraTech steps link the long-range strategic R&D
goals to detailed, long-term energy R&D needs and
opportunities. The third step determines the specific
threats and strategic R&D goals addressed by a technology
of interest. Next engineering and systems analyses are
performed to assess development uncertainties especially
regarding risks associated with performance and
affordability. Finally, technical analyses determine the
fundamental technical problems underlying development
uncertainties and establish long-term R&D needs and
opportunities. A case study involving high-temperature
solid-oxide fuel cells and low-oxygen coal gasification for
central-station electric-power generation for the year 2050
is presented to illustrate the IntraTech approach. The
methodology is applicable to non-fossil-fuel energy
technologies as well. The case study shows that the
approach can identify long-term energy goals addressed by
a technology concept, identify key performance factors
and risks, determine R&D needs and opportunities, and
provide insights regarding alternative development
options. The approach should be useful for planning,
justifying, and implementing programs using specific
technology concepts, since it can provide uniform and
information across individual technologies. Online access:

Health Benefits for Medicare-Eligible
Military Retirees: Rationalizing TRICARE for Life. M.
Schoenbaum, B. O. Wynn, T. L. Tanielian, K. Harris, R.
Labor, C. R. Anthony. 2004.
The 2001 National Defense Authorization Act expanded
eligibility for coverage under TRICARE, the Department
of Defense (DoD) health program, to Medicare-eligible
military retirees age 65 and over. Medicare-eligible
military retirees enrolled in Medicare Part B became
entitled to both Medicare and TRICARE health care
benefits—coverage referred to as TRICARE for Life
(TFL). Under TFL, Medicare is the primary payer and
TRICARE the secondary payer for Medicare-covered
services. In addition, TRICARE covers all cost sharing by
patients, including Medicare deductibles and coinsurance.
This report examines the TFL benefit design and TFL's
potential benefits and costs for the DoD, Medicare,
beneficiaries, and taxpayers. The authors summarize
issues and policy options that were discussed in several
briefings presented to the DoD for its consideration for
improving TFL in the future. The authors offer policy
options to rationalize benefits by considering changes in
the TFL benefit structure, promote ease of operations by
improving compatibility with Medicare benefits, improve
efficiency by promoting optimal use of direct-care
services, and improve the overall benefit package for
Medicare-eligible military retirees. The 2001 National

Network-Based Operations for the
Swedish Defence Forces: An Assessment Methodology.
W. L. Perry, J. Gordon, M. Boito, G. Kingston. 2004.
The Swedish government is undertaking efforts to reorient
Swedish Defence Forces from homeland defence to a
wider suite of missions, including operations far from
Sweden-a significant change in the way Sweden is willing
to employ its armed forces. Such missions include
expeditionary operations with coalition partners.
Therefore, a decision was made to move towards networkbased operations linking sensors, decisionmakers, and
combat systems to achieve shared awareness, increased
speed of command, higher operational tempo, greater
lethality, and increased survivability. The methodology
proposed in this report suggests several operational
functions, such as air and missile defense or joint force
command and control, that are representative of the type
of missions future Swedish forces may have to perform.
Once these operational functions have been prioritised and
networks have been designed that connect the elements or
forces that will participate in that function, the operational
functions are then grouped into interaction categories.
These categories include (1)-specialized interaction, with
low to medium requirements for access, timeliness, and
security; (2) ubiquitous interaction, which involves a large
number of organizations; (3) secure interaction, for which
participants and the information exchanged must be
secured both physically and electronically; and (4) realtime interaction, extremely time-sensitive combat actions
requiring that very few participants have access to critical
real-time data and are able to share that data, even when
network connections and nodes have failed. These
interaction categories support the identification of
common subnetworks and analogous systems or
components in the cost-estimation process, which may
draw on several cost-estimation methods. The
methodology should identify all relevant costs, including
those for the network infrastructure, and costs associated
with operational functions supported by the network;
should allow for the comparison of historical and notional
systems; and should relate network capabilities and
metrics to cost so that cost and benefit analysis can be
facilitated. The report offers criteria for measures of the
needed access to, timeliness of, and security for the
network, and metrics for those measures, then relates those
metrics broadly to the four interaction categories. It also
presents three real-world examples of the types of
networks Swedish Defence Forces may be relying on,
depending on which of the four proposed options—with
their different emphases on capabilities for international
operations, homeland defence, and adaptable structure for
unforeseen future needs—is selected in 2004. Online

When Computers Go to School: How
Kent School Implemented Information Technology to
Enrich Teaching and Learning. P. D. Devin. 2004.
There is no universal agreement on whether schools
should invest in information technology for teaching and
learning. It has been posited that technology can facilitate
learning by enhancing students' ability to experiment,
practice, and experience the real world. It has been further
posited that the ability to use information technology well
will affect individuals' personal productivity and economic
well-being and, in the aggregate, the nation's competitive
position. The popularity of computers in schools suggests
that these and similar arguments have resonated with
educators. Some, however, have suggested that spending
money on such technology is not worth it. They question
whether students can cope with a richness of information
resources and whether technology-mediated applications
will render the curriculum banal and produce individuals
of shallow intellect largely by externalizing and
homogenizing thought and by eliminating introspection. In
1996, Kent School embarked on a program to integrate
information technology into teaching and learning. To that
end, the school installed a computer network and equipped
all faculty and students with laptop computers that they
could carry with them to class and connect from almost
anywhere on campus to the network, which gave them
access to email, shared folders, and the Internet. Core data
about participants' use of the technology and their attitudes
toward it were gathered through surveys that were
administered during winter term 1998 and winter term
2000. These data were illuminated by interviews with
faculty and staff, focus groups with students, and
observation of classes. The report addresses the question
of whether information technology can be used to benefit
teaching and learning and summarizes the uses and
benefits of the technology that were reported by Kent
faculty and students. Online access: http://www.

McCarthy. 2004.
Cuba is nearing the end of the Castro era. When that end
arrives, the government that succeeds Fidel Castro, as well
as the Cuban people themselves, will need answers to the
following questions: How is Castro's more than fourdecade rule likely to affect a post-Castro Cuba? What are
the political, social, and economic challenges that Cuba
will have to confront? What are the impediments that will
need to be surmounted if Cuba is to develop economically
and embark on a democratic transition? The five
appendices within this report constitute a companion

This report describes the added value of the regional
airports in the Netherlands. The Netherlands has six
regional airports: Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Maastricht,
Groningen, Enschede and Lelystad. The government is
involved in the regional airports in different ways. Until
recently, it subsidized the financial losses of the airports.
The added value of an airport can be defined as the
balance between the profitability on an airport and the
economic importance of its location on the one hand and
environmental effects on the other hand. It can be
concluded that: —Rotterdam and Eindhoven have
substantial positive added value; —Maastricht could have
a positive added value depending on the valuation of the
(in)direct employment effects; Based on the evaluated
aspects Groningen, Enschede and Lelystad probably have
a negative added value. It must be noted that these
conclusions are based on the evaluated aspects.

A Research Agenda for Assessing the
Impact of Fragmented Governance on Southwestern
Pennsylvania. S. Sleeper, H. H. Willis, S. Rattien, A.
Lanczos. 2004.
The large number of municipal governments in Allegheny
County is a derivative of Pennsylvania's governance
structure and history. This structure provides for strong
representation at the local government level. The
anticipated benefit of this structure is a greater sense of
local "ownership," encouraging local government to be
responsive to constituent demands. However, local
representation also includes government fragmentation,
with potential costs in the form of inefficiency and
conflicting intercommunity goals. The RAND Corporation
was asked to begin to explore and create a framework for
studying the effects of Pennsylvania's locally dominated
governance structure on regional performance and to
identify potential lessons for Allegheny County from the
experiences of other regions. Drawing from the literature,
case studies, and local economic data sets, the authors
investigated the empirical validity of two questions to
understand whether they are worth pursuing in greater
depth: Does multiplicity of local governance create
inefficiencies in the cost, coverage, and quality of
delivered services? Does this multiplicity inhibit timely
and comprehensive decisionmaking for regional economic
development? The authors conclude that the challenge
facing the region is to assess whether a new vision for
local governance can define a structure that provides
efficient services, balances resources equitably, and
positions the region to compete in the global market.

Ambivalent Allies? A Study of South
Korean Attitudes Toward the U.S. E. V. Larson, N. D.
Levin, S. Baik, B. Savych. 2004.
An increase in expressions of anti-American sentiment
among South Koreans has led to heightened concern that a
pillar of the U.S.-South Korean alliance—a strong belief
among South Koreans in the continued importance of the
U.S.-South Korea alliance and an equally strong
commitment to its continuation—might be in jeopardy. To
answer the question of whether South Koreans' attitudes
toward the United States have deteriorated, RAND
researchers compiled and analyzed public opinion data on
South Korean attitudes toward the United States and
examined selected periods in U.S.-South Korean relations
during the past decade to identify the sources of anti-U.S.
attitudes. South Koreans' attitudes toward the United
States are a mix of gratitude, fondness, and respect—along
with feelings of resentment, distrust, and annoyance at
their continuing dependence on the United States. The
authors' research demonstrates that, although many
measures of sentiment toward the U.S.—attitudes toward
the alliance and toward Americans—have remained
strongly positive, there is strong evidence of a recent
downturn in favorable sentiment toward the U.S. among
South Koreans but also evidence of a more recent
recovery. The authors make a number of recommendations
to U.S. policymakers on how to improve South Koreans'
perceptions of the U.S. and ways to address Koreans' longstanding grievances. Online access: http://www.rand.

Policy and Methodology to Incorporate

2004.
Every few years, the U.S. Air Force reviews its authorized
manpower to ensure that it has enough people with the
right skills and experience to meet national security
demands. In the past, this was assumed to include the
ability to prosecute two concurrent MTWs, but that
assumption is being reexamined. RAND was asked to
develop a methodology for examining less-extensive
scenarios and to comment on the Total Force Assessment
Phase I (TFA-I), which drew to a close in 2001. This
report presents the resulting methodology, demonstrates its
use by applying it to suitable data (including that from
TFA-I), and draws lessons from RAND's assessment of
the TFA-I experience. Among the conclusions are that
TFA's methodology and process could fall prey to pitfalls
the most significant of which is the potential for doublecounting. It would also be helpful to develop models
outside the TFA process, so that a short timeline does not
compromise the process. Finally, controls should be
improved, including quality control, accountability, and

Strike Operations. E. Ghashghai. 2004.
The focus of the study is on combat systems operating at
medium and low altitudes, which pose challenges different
from intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)
platforms operating at high altitude. Medium- and lowaltitude platforms are closer to jammers and signals
intelligence receivers, so an adversary might more readily
intercept or jam signals. The platforms' low observability
can be compromised if they transmit large amounts of
data, increasing their chance of detection. After discussing
data requirements and threats and examining the current
communications programs and shortfalls, the analysis
finds that there is no one solution for all situations and
platforms. A combination of options will be needed to
ensure a reliable and robust communications link. These
options will vary depending on altitude, range, data rate,
and threat. Although communications does not appear to
be a limiting factor for future ISR forces, programmatic
action will be required to develop the necessary systems
and the costs could be high. Online access:

Estimating the Benefits of the
GridWise Initiative: Phase I Report. W. S. Baer, B.
Fulton, S. Mahnovski. 2004.
GridWiseTM is a vision, a concept, and a national
initiative developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, the
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and participants
from the electricity industry, which seeks to link electricity
suppliers and end-users via high-speed networks that
provide real-time information about system capacities,
demand, prices, and status. This report presents the initial
results of a two-phase project designed to characterize and
estimate the benefits of applying such advanced
communications and information technologies to bring the
aging U.S. electricity grid into the information age. The
project is intended to provide a better understanding of
those benefits—for electricity suppliers, end-users, and
society at large—that will inform both public and private
sector decisions about GridWise-related research and
development (R&D) and implementation strategies. In the
first phase of the study, reported here, an analytic
framework is developed for characterizing and estimating
benefits, and preliminary quantitative estimates are made
of gross benefits for the most important benefit categories.
The estimates do not include R&D and implementation
costs, which will be estimated in the second phase of the
study. Assumptions and other input variables for the
benefit calculations are clearly delineated, both to indicate
the sensitivity of the estimates to such inputs and to
provide a basis for improving them. A comparison of
estimates for five scenarios indicates that the present value
of gross benefits from GridWise can be quite large,
exceeding $100 billion in some scenarios. However, the
variance among estimates is also very large, depending, of
course, on the input data and assumptions. At this early
stage of GridWise development, many of the input
variables and projections are highly uncertain.
Consequently, the report concludes that delineating a
range of benefits based on plausible input variables is
more useful at this time than trying to converge on a single
"best estimate." Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Health Status and Medical Treatment
of the Future Elderly: Final Report. D. P. Goldman, P. G.
Shekelle, J. Bhattacharya, M. D. Hurd, G. Joyce, D.
Lakdawalla, D. H. Matsui, S. J. Newberry, C. W. A. Panis,
B. Shang. 2004.
The ability to predict future health care costs reasonably
accurately is critical to planning for the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The models used
for such projections to date, however, are limited in terms
of their capacity to take into account the complex array of
factors likely to affect future spending. To improve CMS's
ability to map the effects on spending of such factors as
medical breakthroughs and demographic trends, RAND
Health developed the Future Elderly Model (FEM), a
demographic-economic model framework of health
spending projections that enables the user to answer
"what-if" questions about the effects of changes in health
status and disease treatment on future health care costs.
What distinguishes the FEM from other models is its
inclusion of a multidimensional characterization of health
status, which allows the user to include a richer set of
demographic controls as well as comorbid conditions and
functional status. This report describes the development of
the FEM and its application in four clinical areas:
cardiovascular disease, the biology of aging and cancer,
neurological disease, and changes in health care services.
Beside those involved in planning at the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, it should be of interest to
health policy planners and health economists. Online

Volume 2: Case Studies. S. Wooding, S. Anton, J. Grant,

Venema. 2004.
There is increasing pressure for research funders to
demonstrate, and seek to maximise, the payback from the
research they fund. This report, prepared for and funded
by the Arthritis Research Campaign (arc), presents the
results of an evaluation of 16 research grants awarded by
arc in the early 1990s. The main objective was to develop
a system for evaluating arthritis research, with a view to
allowing arc to stimulate and manage the exploitation of
research advances so that they translate into outcomes of
practical benefit to people with arthritis. Volume 2 of the
report presents a collection of the case studies used in the
study. These case studies all follow a similar format based
on the conceptual model and provide a rich and detailed
narrative on the payback of each research grant. Volume 1
of the report presents a framework that conceptualises the
relationship between research inputs, process, output and
outcomes. Using this framework, we catalogue a diverse
range of research output and outcomes arising from these
16 grants and make a series of quantitative and qualitative
assessments comparing, for example, payback from
project grants versus programme grants. In conclusion, we
make six observations: —There is a diversity of research
payback. —The researcher is the key driver of research
translation. —Short, focused project grants seem to
provide value for money. —Intended and unintended
flexibility in funding is used advantageously. —Referees'
contributions to the peer-review process are of variable
benefit. —The payback framework could be
operationalised and embedded by arc. Online access only:

Evaluation of Community Voices
Miami: Affecting Health Policy for the Uninsured. K. P.
Derose, C. A. Jackson, A. Beatty. 2004.
Health care insurance coverage has been part of the
national debate for a long time. Without an expectation of
achieving universal health coverage in the near future and
with an increasing number of persons losing Medicaid
coverage as a result of welfare reform, many communities
have been concerned about their continuing ability to
provide health care to the uninsured and underinsured. To
address these concerns, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation
sponsored Community Voices: Health Care for the
Underserved, a five-year health care initiative
(1998–2003) aimed at enhancing health care access and
quality for the underserved. RAND was asked to evaluate
the effectiveness of Community Voices Miami (CVM),
one of the participating sites, and to provide analytic
assistance to the project. This report presents RAND's
evaluation. It concludes that CVM and its partners set the
stage for change by affecting intermediate outcomes, e.g.,
raising awareness of the issue, getting safety-net providers
to collaborate on specific programs, nurturing
neighborhood-based solutions, and advocating for the
establishment of an independent health care planning
body. However, the measurement of ultimate outcomes of
CVM—access to health care—remains for a future study.

Achieving State and National Literacy
Goals: A Long Uphill Road: a Report to Carnegie
Corporation of New York. J. S. McCombs, S. N. Kirby,
H. Barney, H. Darilek, S. Magee. 2004.
To succeed in post-secondary education or employment,
students must emerge from high school possessing high
levels of literacy skills that enable them to construct
meaning from a variety of texts and convey that meaning
to others. Recent reform efforts have yielded positive
results in improving reading achievement for the nation's
children in the primary grades. However, many children
are not moving beyond basic decoding skills, even as they
170
advance to the fourth grade and classes in history,
mathematics, and science. To focus national attention on
the problem of adolescent literacy, Carnegie Corporation
started a new initiative-Advancing Adolescent Literacy:
Reading to Learn-the aim of which is to promote policy
practice and research in the field of adolescent literacy,
which encompasses reading and writing in grades 4
through 12. As a first step in its new initiative Carnegie
Corporation asked the RAND Corporation to convene a
small study group for one year to lay the foundation for
the work of a larger Advisory Council. Carnegie also
asked RAND to produce a comprehensive, quantitative
survey of the state of adolescent reading and writing
achievement in the United States. RAND gathered
information from the 50 states and the District of
Columbia (DC) on state assessment systems and the
performance of students in reading, English language arts,
and writing on state assessments. To examine the relative
performance of students against national standards, the
RAND team also used data from the 2003 state National
Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in reading
and the 2002 state NAEP in writing. Achieving State and
National Literacy Goals, a Long Uphill Road: A Report to
Carnegie Corporation of New York documents the results
of this research and provides a portrait of the state of
adolescent literacy as measured by these national and state
assessments. The appendices contain individual state
write-ups for the 50 states and the District of Columbia
(DC) that describe the assessment systems; the content,
format, and performance levels of reading, writing, and
English/language arts assessments between 4th and 12th
grades; and student performance on those assessments. It
is clear that while states are operating under a common
mandate for proficiency, there are large differences in the
rigor of the assessment and states' definitions of
proficiency, leading to quite disparate outcomes. Compare,
for instance, South Carolina, Missouri, North Carolina,
and Texas. At the 8th grade level, 21 percent of students in
South Carolina and 33 percent of students in Missouri
passed the state assessment, compared with 86–87 percent
of 8th-graders in North Carolina and Texas. However,
when one looks at the 8th-grade NAEP scores, 24 percent
of students in South Carolina and 34 percent of students in
Missouri scored at the proficient level, compared with 26
percent of students in Texas and 29 percent of students in
North Carolina. Clearly, even if each state were to meet its
100-percent-proficiency goal for reading, students in those
states would likely have quite disparate abilities,
knowledge, and skills. Overall, the data show that our
nation faces a tremendous challenge to raise the literacy
skills of its adolescents. Simply mandating standards and
assessments is not going to guarantee success. Unless we,
as a nation, are prepared to focus attention and resources
on this issue, our schools are likely to continue producing
students who lack skills and are ill-prepared to deal with
the demands of post-secondary education and the
workplace. Policymakers, schools, and teachers need to
step up and accept the "orphaned responsibility" of
teaching students to read to learn. The costs of inattention
are very high, both in personal and economic terms. This
report should be of interest to educational researchers and
education policymakers at the national, state, and local
levels who are working to improve educational
opportunities and learning for all students. Online access:

Solomon. 2004.
The California's Public Health infrastructure, from the
perspective of public health preparedness is characterized
by high interjurisdictional variability. A combination of
coordination of resources and new investment will be
necessary to fill gaps. To assess gaps in California's Public
Health Infrastructure, RAND reviewed extant performance
measures; developed and conducted tabletop exercises in
nine local health departments; and performed an economic
analysis to identify the gaps in infrastructure relating to
preparedness. Two of 7 jurisdictions were well prepared,
and 1 was poorly prepared. We conclude that the level of
protection afforded to California residents is uneven, and
recommended steps to strengthen the infrastructure.

Science and Technology Research and
Development Capacity in Japan: Observations from
Leading U.S. Researchers and Scientists. A. Wong, A.
Balakrishnan, J. Garulski, T. Hogan, E. Landree, M.
McArthur. 2004.
This report summarizes the views of 52 leading U.S.
scientists regarding Japan's science and technology
capacity in 25 fields of research in life science,
environmental science, information and communication
technology, and nanotechnology and materials science.
Scientists' responses cover a range of topics, including
university-industry research relations in Japan, the caliber
of Japanese research scientists, innovation in Japanese
research, funding directions, the role of language and
cultural issues in Japanese scientific enterprise, and the
internationalization of Japanese research. RAND
conducted two interview for each field, focusing on four
topics: (1) important and interesting accomplishments of
Japanese institutions observed by respondents in their field
of expertise; (2) evaluations of the level of research
conducted by Japanese institutions in the respondent's field
of expertise, with a particular emphasis on Japan's
performance compared to that of other countries
considered the best in the field; (3) evaluation of the
171
performance of Japanese institutions over time; and (4)
examples that show Japan as an important research player
in the respondent's field of expertise. The criteria used to
select respondents were the number and amount of federal
research grants they had received, major scientific merit
awards they had won, and the number of publications and
citations to their publications. Japan was largely viewed as
on par with the United States in most areas and leading the
world in some others. Japanese researchers were viewed as
committed and careful in their work and their research was
regarded as solid and of high quality. Nonetheless,
respondents observed a lack of depth in Japanese science
and technology research and a shortage of original and
high-risk research. Online access only: http://www.

Evaluating the Security of the Global
Containerized Supply Chain. H. H. Willis, D. S. Ortiz.
2004.
The global supply chain consists of the supply,
manufacturing, storage, distribution, and retail entities that
transform raw materials into finished products in the hands
of consumers. Historically, the main security concern has
been loss of cargo, but increased concern about terrorism
has brought the vulnerability of shipping containers to
attention. Since an attack on a port could be deadly and
economy-crippling, new security measurements have
proliferated—some of which may add delays and damage
efficiency. But has all this made the system more secure or
less secure? How will we know? This report lays out a
framework for analyzing the structure of the container
supply chain and how the parts interact. The authors offer
a series of preliminary conclusions about gaps in the
current security approach, then lay out directions for
further research. The authors recommend, for instance,
that the public sector seek to bolster the fault tolerance and
resilience of the system, while the government should be
responsible for assessing security and for decisions to
close ports. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The United States today faces a more diverse set of
potential threats than it did during the Cold War. This
change calls for new thinking about the role of nuclear
forces in U.S. national security policy. RAND Project AIR
FORCE examined strategies and force postures that the
United States could adopt to make the most effective use
of its nuclear forces in an uncertain world. Researchers
observe that the need for the United States to retain
nuclear weapons is much less compelling than in the past,
that a much smaller nuclear force could fulfill all U.S.
political and military needs, and that reducing the risk of
nuclear war due to accidents or mistakes is even more
important today than before. Online access:

Is Patient Volume a Useful Quality Measure

The goal of the study was to assess how accurately patient
volume predicts quality of care for VLBW infants and to
compare volume with direct indicators, such as patient
mortality. Data came from 332 NICUs in the Vermont
Oxford Network of providers from across the United
States. This network includes 40 percent of the NICUs in
the United States and accounts for 50 percent of annual
VLBW infant admissions. The study population included
all 94,110 infants between 501 and 1,500 grams born in
network hospitals between 1995 and 2000. The study
found that referrals for VLBW infants that rely on indirect
measures such as volume are at best minimally effective
for predicting outcomes and may unfairly penalize highquality providers that have lower volumes. By contrast,
direct measures such as infant deaths are more useful
quality indicators for the purposes of selective referral:
They predict future mortality rates more accurately and
could therefore save infant lives. Online access:

Managing General and Flag Officers.
Senior officers spend much less time in assignments and
retire much earlier than do their private-sector peers.
Unlike the private sector, the military does not vary job
tenure based on whether the job develops skills or uses
skills learned in prior jobs. Some, not all, assignments
should be longer. The Department of Defense and the
military services should rationalize career paths and set
goals for time in jobs and for the number and timing of
jobs; however, the system should retain flexibility in
applying rules. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Despite concerns that the military might face a shortage of
information technology (IT) personnel within the active

Workforce Planning in Complex
Organizations. R. M. Emmerichs, C. Y. Marcum, A. A.
Robbert. 2004.
Workforce planning can help ensure that an organization
has the right mix—by education, experience, and other
important characteristics—of personnel to advance its
functional and organizational objectives. To succeed,
workforce planning should answer questions regarding
desired workforce characteristics now and in the future,
and how organizational practices are helping maintain or
develop these characteristics. Among elements needed to
make workforce planning successful are active executive
and line manager participation, accurate and relevant data,
and sophisticated workload and inventory projection
models. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

Improving Educational Outcomes
Through Accountability. B. M. Stecher, H. Barney, S. N.
Kirby, M. L. Pearson, M. Chow, L. S. Hamilton. 2004.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 increased the
importance of accountability in education by mandating an
accountability system that measures school performance
through student test results. To assist those educators
trying to meet the act's requirements, RAND researchers
analyzed accountability approaches from manufacturing,
job training, law, and health care and assessed their
usefulness for education. They conclude that while

A Legacy of Dysfunction: Cuba After
Fidel. E. Gonzalez, K. F. McCarthy. 2004.
When Fidel Castro departs, Cuba will reach a crossroads.
A post-Castro regime that attempts to remain communist
may find itself in a cul-de-sac where old policies and
instruments no longer work. If such a regime should falter,
a democratic-leaning replacement government is only a
remote possibility. The country will face severe and
simultaneous challenges on several fronts: an alienated
younger generation, a growing racial divide, an aging
population, and a deformed economy. Cuba's civil-society
and market actors appear to be too embryonic, and
democratic political opposition forces too decimated, for
democracy to take hold naturally. More likely the military,
arguably Cuba's most important institution, will take
control. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

O'Connell, A. Hou, M. S. Tseng, D. T. Orletsky, C. W.
Yost. 2004.
In the wake of the September 11 attacks, some U.S.
federal agencies curtailed public access to various sources
of geospatial information. While recognizing many public
and private benefits of such information, officials were
concerned that terrorists and other adversaries could
exploit certain data (e.g., maps and overhead images) to
attack key American assets and critical infrastructure. In
the years since making those initial restrictions, however,
176
policymakers have wrestled with how to distinguish
between potentially sensitive information, which need not
be restricted from the public, and truly sensitive
information, to which public access must be restricted. To
address this need, RAND developed an analytical process
that U.S. officials can use to assess and filter publicly
available geospatial information that has homeland
security implications. Online access: http://www.rand.

include the Loan Repayment Program (LRP), i.e.,

The Promise and Peril of Using
Value-Added Modeling to Measure Teacher Effectiveness.
D. F. McCaffrey, D. M. Koretz, J. R. Lockwood, L. S.
Hamilton. 2004.
Value-added modeling offers the possibility of estimating
the effects of teachers and schools on student performance,
a potentially important contribution in the current
environment of concern for accountability in education.
These techniques, however, are susceptible to a number of
sources of bias, depending on decisions about how the
modeling is executed and on the quality of the data on
which models are based. If teachers are to be held
accountable for the performance of their students,
strategies for measuring the impact of their work must be
refined or, at least, the uncertainties of these
measurements must be taken into account in assessing the
impact of teachers and schools on student performance.

Effects of Trial Design on Participation
and Costs in Clinical Trials, with an Examination of Cost
Analysis Methods and Data Sources. M. L. Kilgore.
2004.
This dissertation comprises a series of studies conducted
as part of the Cost of Cancer Treatment Study (CCTS). An
exploration of the sample size requirements for power and
significance levels in clinical trials suggests that
proportional representation of subpopulations in trials will
often not allow valid inferences to be drawn about
differential treatment effects. Where differential treatment
effects in subpopulations are suspected, targeted trials
should be undertaken. Underrepresentation of older cancer
patients could be accounted for by exclusion criteria based
on comorbid conditions that disproportionately afflict the
elderly. The author compared data from patient interviews,
medical records abstraction, provider billing records, and
Medicare claims as data sources for estimating health care
utilization rates and costs; the data were compared in
terms of completeness and accessibility. Cost estimates for
utilization measures were derived from administrative data
using hedonic regression models. Prescription drug costs
and out-of-pocket drug expenditures were compared for
patients enrolled in cancer trials and for similar cancer
patients with who did not participate in trials. Trial
participation was associated with higher prescription drug
costs, but that did not result in any significant difference in
out-of-pocket expenditures for participants. These results
were robust to a variety of modeling approaches.

Venture Capital Investments in China. F.
Little research has been done on venture capital
investments in China, although they have been growing
fast in the past decade. This dissertation examines the
history of venture capital in China in the 1990s by means
of two unique data sets collected by the author. It finds
that the Chinese government's policies have had an
important influence on the pattern of venture capital
investments. China's venture capital industry is dominated
by international venture capitalists primarily because of
the restrictions on fund-raising in China. In addition,
discriminatory policies in the early 1990s discouraged
venture capital investments in private firms. International
venture capitalists became more interested in private firms
as China's market-oriented reform deepened. The author
181
also finds that the availability of channels for initial public
offerings channels has had a profound effect on venture
capital investments in China. The NASDAQ "technology
bubble" in the 1990s encouraged venture capital
investments in high-tech and early-stage firms, drove up
the valuation of venture capital-backed firms, and reduced
the equity stake held by venture capitalists. Total venture
capital investments in China decreased quickly as the
NASDAQ index went down after 2000. Online access:

Gearing Up and Getting There: Improving
Local Response to Chemical Terrorism. B. K. Houghton.
2004.
This dissertation identifies policies and organizational
options at the local level that could save lives and reduce
injury likely to occur from an act of chemical terrorism. It
seeks out low-cost ways to improve the current
performance level in responding to chemical terrorism,
using Los Angeles as a case study. The dissertation
attempts to determine the level of risk of chemical
terrorism in Los Angeles and identify the anticipated
magnitude for which emergency responders and
decisionmakers should plan. Then it considers current
capability and performance levels in chemical terrorism
response and determines a performance goal for response
to the planning magnitude. Through modeling and
simulation, the dissertation presents low-cost options in
equipment, training, organization and doctrine that could
improve the response to a chemical terrorist event. Finally
the dissertation examines these options in terms of budget
considerations in Los Angeles. The dissertation's findings
point to decentralizing counter-chemical terrorism
equipment throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area;
reformulating those doctrinal policies that may
inadvertently slow the mitigation process; establishing
low-cost training methods to enhance the specialized
knowledge needed to respond effectively; putting polices
in place to accelerate the decontamination process; and
focusing on an all-hazards approach to preparedness.

An Investigation of the Factors
Influencing Breastfeeding Patterns. A. Jacknowitz. 2004.
A growing body of research indicates that both mothers
and children benefit from breastfeeding. However, despite
slowly rising breastfeeding rates, a large fraction of
mothers do not breastfeed or breastfeed for a shorter
period than the recommended six months. Furthermore,
some groups of mothers are more likely to breastfeed than
others. This dissertation seeks to understand these
breastfeeding patterns by investigating demographic
changes, welfare work requirements, and workplace
characteristics. Among the results: Changes in the
composition of births by maternal age, maternal education,
race/ethnicity, parity, and geographic location of birth
explain seem to explain approximately 20 percent of the
increasing trends in initial breastfeeding rates and
breastfeeding rates six months after birth. In the absence
of welfare reform, the national breastfeeding rate six
months after birth would have been 5.5 percent higher in
2000. Such unintended negative consequences of these
welfare work requirements must be weighed against
potential benefits as states refine their welfare programs.
The availability of employer-sponsored child care
increases the likelihood of breastfeeding six months after
birth by 59 percent. Working an additional eight hours at
home per week increases the probability of breastfeeding
by 9 and 21 percent at birth and six months after birth,
respectively. Workplace characteristics show promise to
effectively increase breastfeeding rates among working
women and warrant additional consideration.

The Ecological Context of Substance
Abuse Treatment Outcomes: Implications for NIMBY
Disputes and Client Placement Decisions. J. O. Jacobson.
2004.
Most admissions to drug treatment end in client dropout.
Although scholars have examined a number of factors
related to client characteristics and program components,
location-the physical, social, and economic attributes of
neighborhoods where treatment clients live and receive
treatment-has largely been ignored. The author develops
hypotheses of the influence of "treatment ecology" on
retention, characterize the residential and treatment
environments of the population of treatment clients in Los
Angeles County in the period 1998–2000, tests for an
association between neighborhood-level factors and client
retention, and derives bounds on the expected impact of
location-oriented policies on individual and countywide
retention. Clients' residential environments are
significantly worse than those of the non-client household
population, particularly with respect to social stressors and
drug availability, that the neighborhoods of treatment
centers are worse still, and that homeless, African
American, and other minority clients face the worst
environments overall. Failure to complete in both
outpatient and residential settings is associated with
neighborhood-level social stressors. A policy that matched
all clients with the most appropriate neighborhood could
increase the countywide rate of retention by up to 30
percent. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

Our Courts, Ourselves: How the
Alternative Dispute Resolution Movement Is Reshaping
Our Legal System. D. R. Hensler. 2004.
Federal courts are now required by law to offer some form
of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and many state
courts require parties to attempt to resolve their cases
through mediation before they can obtain a trial date. The
author notes that there are reasons to believe that the ADR
movement has had some success over the past 25 years in
changing business and legal decisionmakers' views on how
best to resolve legal disputes. In this article, the author
presents a personal critical perspective on one part of the
history of the dispute resolution movement in the United
States — the evolution of ADR in the legal world. The
author presents historical antecedents, discusses the
"community justice movement," the business community's
joining of the ADR movement, and offers final thoughts
on the dispute resolution movement's contribution to
changes in the view of the justice system. Originally

Economic Downturns and Schooling
Inequality: Cameroon, 1987-1995. P. M. EloundouEnyegue, J. DaVanzo. 2004.
Policy makers often worry that economic crises aggravate
schooling inequalities, but the longitudinal data to monitor
these inequalities are typically lacking. This paper uses the
schooling histories of 2,249 pupils to investigate how the
economic downturn in Cameroon in the period of 1987–95
affected the schooling inequalities associated with sex of
pupil, residence, the family's socio-economic status, and
family size. The authors first assess overall patterns and
find these inequalities to depend on grade and other
vulnerability factors. For instance, girls are disadvantaged
in comparison with boys only in rural families and within
primary and junior secondary school. The authors then
examine historical changes in schooling inequalities,
distinguishing between long-term trends and net changes
during crisis years. The authors find that the inequalities
associated with sex of pupil and family size have
increased. Results underscore the importance of economic
conditions in sustaining progress in closing gaps in
education between the sexes. The authors also suggest that
fertility and family size are of growing significance for
schooling in African settings. Originally published in

Early Origins of the Gradient: The
Relationship Between Socioeconomic Status and Infant
Mortality in the United States. B. K. Finch. 2004.
Although relationships between social conditions and
health have been documented for centuries, the past few
decades have witnessed the emergence of socioeconomic
gradients in health and mortality in most developed
countries. These gradients indicate that health improves,
although decreasingly so, at higher levels of
socioeconomic status. To minimize problems with reverse
causality, I tested competing hypotheses for observed
socioeconomic gradients for infant mortality outcomes. I
found no support for the income-inequality hypothesis and
negligible support for the occupational-grade hypothesis.
The results indicate that absolute material conditions are
the most important determinants of socioeconomic effects
on the risk of infant mortality and that while poverty has
the most pronounced effect on risk, income is decreasingly
salutary across the majority of the mortality gradient.

ESDP and NATO:
Complementarity. F. S. Larrabee. 2004.
Assuring
Since its inception, the European Security and Defense
Policy (ESDP) has generated controversy and concern,
especially in the United States. Although Washington has
wanted a stronger European partner, it has also worried
183
that a stronger ESDP could undermine NATO and weaken
the transatlantic link. The debate over ESDP must be seen
in the broader strategic context, which has been influenced
by the war in Kosovo, the effort to strengthen European
defense integration, the reorientation of U.S. strategic
interests after the Cold War, and the Bush administration's
penchant for unilateral action and its suspicion of
multilateral organizations—as shown by its actions in Iraq.
As ESDP proceeds, the United States and Europe need to
ensure that it strengthens transatlantic relations: (1) The
U.S. must accept that Europe needs some autonomous
operational planning capability outside of NATO. (2) U.S.
and European defense transformation must be closely
harmonized. (3) How ESDP develops will depend in part
on whether the U.S. maintains a unilateralist approach or
returns to its former respect for multilateralism. (4) Europe
should eschew efforts to develop the EU as a
counterweight to the United States. Originally published in

Age-associated differences in aggregate Medicare

The Impact of Wives' Earnings on Earnings
Inequality Among Married-Couple Households in
Malaysia. S. Amin, J. DaVanzo. 2004.
Using data from the First and Second Malaysian Family
Life Surveys, we analyze the effects of wives' earnings on
household earnings' inequality in Peninsular Malaysia in
1976 and 1988. We find that wives' earnings helped
equalize the distribution of household earnings in
Malaysia, both at the two points in time and over time.
The equalizing effect of wives' earnings over time is in
part due to the fact that the correlation between husbands'
and wives' earnings decreased between 1976 and 1988.

Urbanization, Development, and Under-Five

urban and rural areas and by location within urban areas
over a 21-year period between 1970 and 1991. The author
also investigates economic inequalities in under-five
mortality for urban areas. During the period 1970–1991,
much of the infant and child mortality transition unfolded
in Säao Paulo. The author investigates whether these
improvements in mortality were accompanied by
narrowing differentials by place of residence and declining
economic inequalities in mortality. The author draws on

China's Economy, Resilience and Challenge.
W. H. Overholt. 2004.
China's economy has demonstrated extraordinary
resilience in the face of the global economy slowdown, the
SARS tragedy, and the stresses of WTO entry. This
resilience results from the successful shift to domestic-led
growth and from rising productivity caused by economic
reform, rising competition, and highly entrepreneurial
economic structure, and high levels of foreign direct
investment. China's successes are being achieved by
reforms that overcome severe challenges. Among these
challenges are a pressures on China to revalue its currency
and China's rapidly expanding money supply and
overheating economic expansion. What distinguishes
China from other countries facing similar challenges is
that it has chosen a process of gradual reform and opening
that has proved successful in other Asia countries. It has
also demonstrated an ability to form a workable leadership
consensus regarding its most important problems, to
implement solutions in the face of great political and
social stress, and to overcome the stress by delivering
large benefits for most of the Chinese people. Reprinted

From Adolescence to Young Adulthood:
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Smoking. P. L. Ellickson, M.
Orlando, J. S. Tucker, D. J. Klein. 2004.
OBJECTIVES. We used data gathered from 6259 youths
between the ages of 13 and 23 years to compare trends in
smoking among 4 racial/ethnic groups. METHODS. We
weighted trend data to represent baseline respondent
characteristics and evaluated these data with linear
contrasts derived from multiple regression analyses.
RESULTS. Although African Americans exhibited higher
initiation rates than Whites, they exhibited consistently
lower rates of regular smoking than both Whites and
Hispanics. This seeming anomaly was explained by
African Americans' lower rates of transition to regular
smoking and greater tendency to quit. Racial/ethnic
disparities were accounted for by differences in prosmoking influences. CONCLUSIONS. Reducing
racial/ethnic disparities in smoking may require reducing
differences in the psychosocial factors that encourage
smoking. Reprinted from the American Journal of Public

files and a survey of 1915 male enrollees. They used
multivariate logistic regression to assess the effects of
enrollee characteristics on preventive service use.
RESULTS: Age, marital status, educational attainment,
and household wealth were associated with receipt of one
or more preventive services. However, the effects of these
variables were substantially attenuated relative to earlier
studies of Medicare. CONCLUSIONS: Some Medicare
HMOs have been successful in attenuating racial and
socioeconomic disparities in the use of preventive services

The Russian Factor in Western Strategy
Toward the Black Sea Region. F. S. Larrabee. 2004.
Because Russia has important economic, political, and
strategic interests in the Black Sea region, developing a
strategy for managing the "Russian factor" is essential for
forging a successful Western strategy toward the area.
Although the lack of a unified view within the Russian
elite regarding how to deal with the Black Sea region
creates problems for the West, there are signs that
Moscow may be willing to play a more constructive role
in stabilizing the area. The Euro-Atlantic community has
three basic options for a strategy toward Russia in regard
to the Black Sea region: (1) rapid integration-incorporating
the region in Western institutions as fast as possible; (2)
integration plus cooperation-modeled on the dual-track
strategy pursued by the West toward Central Europe
during the NATO enlargement process; and (3)
cooperative engagement-seeking to engage Russia but
proceeding only if Russian opposition can be overcome.
The author believes that option 2 is the wisest choice but
notes that developing any coherent policy will depend on
the state of U.S.-European relations. He also suggests that
there may be a need to create new regional organizationson the order of the Council of Baltic Sea States-to engage
Russia on Black Sea issues. Originally published in A New

Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders:
Methods of Developing Quality Indicators. P. G.
Shekelle, S. C. Morton, C. H. MacLean, N. S. Wenger.
2004.
Quality of care can be measured by using either processes
or outcomes. Each method has its strengths and
limitations. With the concurrence of the Assessing Care of
Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE) Policy Advisory Committee,
we chose to assess the care of vulnerable elders by using
processes rather than outcomes. We did so because
processes are a more efficient measure of quality; for most
185
conditions there are insufficient information in the medical
record and a paucity of validated models to adequately
adjust outcomes for differences in case mix between
providers; and ultimately, processes of care are amenable
to direct action by providers. To be a valid measure of
quality, a health care process must be strongly linked to an
outcome that is important to patients. Ideally, high-quality
published studies would link performance of all such
processes to outcomes; however, few health care processes
are supported by high-quality evidence. Even when a
process is supported by strong evidence from randomized
clinical trials, the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the
clinical trials leave the evidence directly applicable to only
a narrow group of patients. This is particularly true for
vulnerable elders, who are typically excluded from clinical
trials. Therefore, as we developed the ACOVE quality
indicators, we used expert opinion to interpret the
available evidence for applicability to vulnerable elders.
Our methods entailed a literature review and several levels
of expert opinion, which we explain in detail. Reprinted

Quality Indicators for Dementia in
Vulnerable Community-Dwelling and Hospitalized Elders.
T. W. Chow, C. H. MacLean. 2004.
Dementia is defined by acquired, progressive impairment
in two or more cognitive areas (for example, frontal
executive function, mood, or memory) that is severe
enough to render a person dependent on others. Dementia
is a leading cause of disability among older adult patients;
Alzheimer disease is the most common etiology. The
prevalence of Alzheimer disease is approximately 2%
among persons 60 to 64 years of age, and the prevalence
increases exponentially every 5 years thereafter, reaching
40% among persons older than 80 years of age. The
prevalence of the other common dementias, including
vascular dementia, the combination of Alzheimer disease
and vascular dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies,
ranges from 15% to 20%. The incidence of Alzheimer
disease is approximately 266 000 cases per year. Because
the older adult population will grow 50% over the next
three decades, the need for dementia care will increase
significantly. Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia are
contributory causes of death among 19% of elders older
than 85 years of age, decreasing life expectancy by to 4
years. The mortality rate among patients with newly
diagnosed Alzheimer disease is twice that seen in agematched, nonaffected persons in the community. Dementia
is the most common reason for placement of older adults
in nursing facilities. The advent of pharmacotherapy to
forestall cognitive decline presents new opportunities to
reduce disability during the course of Alzheimer disease
and related dementias. This paper presents indicators to
assess the quality of care for patients with dementia.
Methods: The methods for developing these quality
indicators, including literature review and expert panel
consideration, are detailed in another paper in this issue.
For dementia, the structured literature review identified
2277 titles, from which abstracts and articles relevant to
this report were identified. On the basis of the literature
and the authors' expertise, 30 potential quality indicators
were proposed. Results: Of the 30 potential quality
indicators, 14 were judged to be valid by the expert panel
process 3 were folded into other indicators, and 13 were
not accepted. Reprinted from Annals of Internal Medicine,

Quality Indicators for End-of-Life Care in
Vulnerable Elders. N. S. Wenger, K. E. Rosenfeld. 2004.
Care for vulnerable elders, many of whom may be near the
end of life, has come under increasing scrutiny in the past
decade. Studies demonstrate inadequate quality of care
with regard to symptom control, matching of care with
patient preferences, and optimal resource use at the end of
life. In this paper the authors report on 14 indicators
developed to identify quality end-of-life care for
vulnerable elders. The indicators, which aim to assess the
provision of care to achieve a "good death," focus on
patient preferences for care and on palliation. Because of
the lack of clinical trial evidence relevant to end-of-life
care, most of the indicators reported in this paper are based
on observational data and consensus opinion. Reprinted

Quality Indicators for the Management and

Rubenstein LZ, Powers CM, MacLean CH. Quality
Indicators for the Management and Prevention of Falls and
Mobility Problems in Vulnerable Elders, Falls and
mobility problems are two of the most common and
serious concerns facing older adults. In addition to
reducing function and causing considerable morbidity and
mortality, falls and instability precipitate premature
nursing home admissions. Impaired gait and balance,
which rank among the most significant underlying causes
of falls, are also common consequences of falls. Because
older adults often do not report these problems to
physicians, they may go undetected until after preventable
injury and disabilities have occurred. Falls and mobility
problems generally result from multiple, diverse, and
interacting causes. After detecting a problem, clinicians
must use careful and thorough diagnostic approaches to
186
identify the most likely causes, contributing factors, and
associated comorbid conditions, many of which will
respond to intervention. Reprinted from Annals of Internal

Quality Indicators for the Management of
Heart Failure in Vulnerable Elders. G. C. Fonarow. 2004.
Heart failure imposes a significant burden on patients and
on the health care system. Vulnerable elders are at
especially increased risk for morbidity and mortality from
heart failure. Elderly patients with heart failure frequently
experience significant variation in processes and outcomes
of care. Improvements in processes of care for this highrisk group may substantially reduce disease burden and
improve patient outcomes. This project investigated the
relationship between processes and outcomes of care and
aimed to develop explicit criteria to evaluate the quality of
care of elderly patients with heart failure. Fourteen
indicators were judges to be valid as measures of quality
of heart failure care for vulnerable elders. These indicators
may serve as a basis to compare the care provided by
different health care delivery systems and to compare the
change in care over time. Reprinted from Annals of

Quality Indicators for Appropriate
Medication Use in Vulnerable Elders. E. L. Knight. 2004.
Medication use provides an ideal opportunity for
monitoring quality of care in the vulnerable elders.
Because drugs are readily and unambiguously specified,
and filled prescriptions and medication lists are
increasingly computerized, automated screening is both
practical and efficient. Furthermore, unlike many other
health care interventions, the evidence base for medication
use is often clearly defined, despite the continuing
problem of under-representation of vulnerable elderly
patients in clinical trials. Therefore, because medication
use plays a central role in geriatric practice, taken together
these characteristics of drug use make the systematic
surveillance of the quality of drug use one of the most
promising approaches to improving the care of this
important population. Reprinted from Annals of Internal
Medicine, Vol. 135, No. 8 (Part 2), October 16, 2001, pp.

Quality Indicators for the Management of
Osteoarthritis in Vulnerable Elders. C. H. MacLean.
2004.
Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic condition
affecting older persons. This condition is probably not a
single disease but rather "a group of overlapping distinct
diseases, which may have different etiologies but with
similar biologic, morphologic, and clinical outcomes" A
common final result of these diseases, however, is the
degeneration of articular cartilage with loss of the joint
surface. Depending on the method of evaluation and the
diagnostic criteria used, estimates of symptomatic disease
prevalence range from 50% to 80% in the elderly
population. Half of all disability among older persons has
been attributed to arthritis. Osteoarthritis is associated with
pain, functional disability (5, 6), and being homebound.
Although effective therapies exist to treat this disease,
many are associated with substantial toxicities. Several
studies have demonstrated regional and subspecialty
variations in the use of pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic,
and surgical treatments. Indirect evidence suggests that
these differences result in variations in outcomes and in
quality of care. On the basis of a comprehensive literature
review, a set of process indicators to assess the quality of
health care for vulnerable elders with osteoarthritis was
developed. This paper summarizes the methods used to
develop these indicators and reviews the evidence on
which they are based. METHODS The methods for
developing these quality indicators, including literature
review and expert panel consideration, are detailed in a
preceding paper (10). For osteoarthritis, the structured
literature review identified 6201 titles from which
abstracts and articles relevant to this report were
identified. Finally, the supporting evidence was
supplemented with the author's own extensive files from
previous related work and with the recommendations of an
external expert reviewer. On the basis of the literature and
the author's expertise, 18 potential quality indicators were
proposed. The search terms and results of the literature
review can be accessed at www.acponline.org/sci-policy/.
RESULTS Of the 18 potential quality indicators, 11 were
judged valid by the expert panel process (see the quality
indicators on pp 653–667) and 7 were not accepted
(www.acponline.org/sci-policy/). Reprinted from Annals

Quality Indicators for the Management of
Osteoporosis in Vulnerable Elders. J. M. Grossman, C. H.
MacLean. 2004.
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized
by low bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration of
bone tissue, and a consequent increase in bone fragility
and susceptibility to fracture. Approximately 10 million
people in the United States, 80% of whom are women,
have osteoporosis, and another 18 million (83% women)
have low bone mass. Osteoporosis is a major cause of
187
morbidity and death in older persons. The clinical
complications of osteoporosis include fractures, most
commonly vertebral, hip, and forearm; disability;
deformity; and chronic pain. For women who are 50 years
of age, the estimated lifetime risk for osteoporotic fracture
is 54%. For white men who are 50 years of age, the
lifetime risk for hip fracture is an estimated 5% to 6%.
Studies suggest that the prevalence of vertebral fractures is
similar for men and women. Approximately 4% of patients
older than 50 years of age who experience a hip fracture
will die while in the hospital, and 24% will die within 1
year of experiencing hip fracture. In the United States in
1995, osteoporotic fractures cost an estimated $13.8
billion. Methods: The methods for developing the ACOVE
quality indicators for the management of osteoporosis,
including the literature review and expert panel
consideration, are detailed elsewhere in this supplement. A
structured literature review found 2960 titles on
osteoporosis, from which abstracts and articles were
identified that were relevant to this report. Based on the
literature and the authors' expertise, 24 potential quality
indicators were proposed. Results: Of the 24 potential
quality indicators, 9 were judged to be valid by the expert
panel process, 3 additional indicators were accepted and
merged into the indicators presented in this paper, and 12
were not accepted. We summarize the literature supporting
each of the indicators judged to be valid by the expert
panel process. Reprinted from Annals of Internal

Quality Indicators for Pain Management in
Vulnerable Elders. J. Chodosh, B. A. Ferrell, P. G.
Shekelle, N. S. Wenger. 2004.
Pain occurs frequently with disease and is prevalent in
older people. Population-based studies suggest that 25% to
40% of community-dwelling elders have pain-related
problems. Studies have reported as high as a twofold
increase in painful conditions in persons older than 60
years of age relative to younger persons. The prevalence is
even greater among residents of long-term care facilities,
where as many as 71% to 83% of residents have at least
one pain-associated problem. The consequences and costs
of pain in elderly persons are substantial. The association
of pain with depression, social isolation, sleep disturbance,
gait impairment, and increased use of health services with
their attendant costs is well documented. Chronic pain
means different things to different patients and physicians.
For the purposes of this review, chronic pain is defined as
"persistent or episodic pain of a duration or intensity that
adversely affects the function or well-being of the patient".
Although pharmacologic treatment with traditional
analgesics is the most common form of pain treatment in
older patients, the use of complementary and alternative
medications and nonpharmacologic interventions also
must be considered, especially when results with the
former are felt to be less than satisfactory or the burden of
potential adverse effects outweighs the benefits. While
patients desire relief of symptoms, complete relief for
patients with chronic pain is often unobtainable, and
treatment decisions require that patients and physicians
continually weigh the risks against the benefits. This
review describes quality indicators developed to measure
the quality of care associated with chronic pain
management in vulnerable elders. These indicators do not
pertain to management of cancer pain or treatment of pain
that is acute in nature. Although few experts disagree that
painful conditions should be treated, less consensus exists
on specific treatments for particular conditions. For this
reason, indicators have been proposed for the general
management of chronic pain in areas in which evidence is
strong or a consensus among experts exists. For the
following reasons, indicators for specific pharmacologic
therapies for specific conditions were not proposed: 1)
highly prevalent conditions, such as osteoarthritis, with
good evidence for specific therapies are addressed
elsewhere; 2) for most painful conditions, definitive
evidence favoring one pain therapy over another is
lacking; and 3) because the information physicians need to
make optimal therapeutic decisions is complex,
implementation of indicators to measure the quality of
such decisions on the basis of medical records or patient
perceptions is problematic. This review focuses on
screening, general management, and follow-up of chronic
painful conditions and identifies indicators that may be
applied to the evaluation of quality of care for vulnerable
elders with chronic pain. Methods: The methods for
developing these quality indicators, including literature
review and expert panel consideration, are detailed
elsewhere. For pain management, the structured literature
review identified 7297 titles, from which relevant abstracts
and articles were identified. On the basis of the literature
and the authors' expertise, 16 potential quality indicators
were proposed. Results: Of the 16 potential quality
indicators for management of chronic pain, 6 were judged
to be valid by the expert panel process, and one new
indicator was created by the panel; 2 were merged into
indicators in other sections, and 8 were rejected We
describe the literature summaries that support each of the
indicators judged to be valid by the expert panel process.

Quality Indicators for the Management of
Pneumonia in Vulnerable Elders. D. C. Rhew. 2004.
Pneumonia is the most common cause of death from
infection in persons 60 years of age and older and is the
fourth most common cause of death overall for persons 80
188
years of age and older. Furthermore, the annual cost of
treating patients with pneumonia in the United States is
approximately $9.7 billion, and most of this cost is
incurred when patients (the majority of whom are older)
are hospitalized. It has been estimated that 962 patients per
100,000 persons 65 years and older will require
hospitalization for pneumonia annually; this figure is
nearly four times the rate in the general population. The
vulnerable older patient is at even greater risk for death
and morbidity from pneumonia, and improving quality of
care for this high-risk population may lead to substantial
reductions in morbidity and mortality. Reprinted from

Quality Indicators for Prevention and
Management of Pressure Ulcers in Vulnerable Elders. B.
M. Bates-Jensen. 2004.
Pressure ulcers can lead to pain, disfigurement, and slow
recovery from comorbid conditions. They interfere with
activities of daily living, predispose to osteomyelitis and
septicemia, and are strongly associated with longer
hospital stays and mortality. Frailty and chronic illness,
both common among older adults, predispose to pressure
ulcers. The prevalence of pressure ulcers is 10% to 14%
among hospitalized patients of all ages and up to 24%
among patients in nursing homes. One goal of Healthy
People 2010 is to reduce the prevalence of pressure ulcers
in nursing home patients by 50%. Prevention and
treatment of pressure ulcers are an important aspect of care
for vulnerable elders. This paper presents quality
indicators for the prevention and care of pressure ulcers
among vulnerable elders and the evidence supporting these
indicators. Reprinted from Annals of Internal Medicine,

Quality Indicators for the Management of
Urinary Incontinence in Vulnerable Elders. J. F. Schnelle,
R. L. Smith. 2004.
The prevalence of urinary incontinence in
noninstitutionalized persons older than 60 years of age is
15% to 35%; of these, 25% to 30% have frequent episodes
of urinary incontinence. The significance of urinary
incontinence may vary from minimal to severe, with
extreme activity limitation and social isolation. For
example, several reports have linked urinary incontinence
in community-dwelling elders with fall and depression.
Urinary incontinence also imposes significant
psychosocial distress on family, friends, and caregivers.
Urinary incontinence is even more prevalent in the nursing
home than in the community. In nursing homes, however,
urinary incontinence is known to be very treatable with
assisted toileting programs. Nursing home residents are
older and frailer than community-dwelling elders and have
caregivers available 24 hours per day. As a result, major
differences exist in how incontinence can be assessed and
treated in the nursing home compared with the
community. This paper describes incontinence quality
indicators that can be applied to vulnerable communitydwelling elders who may be treated across the spectrum of
care, from primary care physicians to surgical specialists.

Reporting About Health Care Quality: A
Guide to the Galaxy. D. E. Kanouse, M. Spranca, M. E.
Vaiana. 2004.
A review of research on the reporting of health care
quality information and related fields in applied social and
cognitive science led to identification of seven basic
principles that should be followed when planning to report
health care quality information to consumers or other
audiences: (a) know the audience: who they are, what they
care about, and what actions they can take; (b) identify
constraints that limit what is feasible; (c) consider barriers
and facilitators to achieving objectives; (d) identify
specific behaviors to target for change, and prioritize
objectives; (e) design a report that specifically
incorporates priorities and reflects trade-offs; (f) develop a
plan for promotion and dissemination from the beginning;
and (g) build in ongoing testing and evaluation to identify
successes and areas needing improvement. Case studies
provide many examples of unsuccessful reporting efforts
that might have succeeded had these guiding principles
been followed. Reprinted from Health Promotion

Trends in Socioeconomic Inequalities in
Mortality in Developing Countries: The Case of Child
Survival in Säao Paulo, Brazil. N. Sastry. 2004.
The author examined trends in socioeconomic inequalities
in under-five mortality for the state of Säao Paulo, Brazil,
over a 21-year period from 1970 to 1991, during which
much of the mortality transition unfolded. During this
time, there was a decline in inequality in under-five
mortality by household wealth but a substantial increase
by mother's education. Improvements in infrastructure and
economic development were associated with lower levels
of socioeconomic inequality in under-five mortality.
Mother's education emerged as the key factor underlying
socioeconomic inequalities in under-five mortality even as
levels of education for women increased and inequality in
schooling fell. Reprinted from Demography, Vol. 41, No.

Effect of Variability in the Interpretation of
Coronary Angiograms on the Appropriateness of Use of
Coronary Revascularization Procedures. L. L. Leape, R.
E. Park, T. M. Bashore, J. K. Harrison, C. J. Davidson, R.
H. Brook. 2004.
BACKGROUND: Evidence from numerous studies of
coronary angiography show differences between
observers' assessments of 15% to 45%. The implication of
this variation is serious: If readings are erroneous, some
patients will undergo revascularization procedures
unnecessarily and others will be denied an essential
treatment. The authors evaluated the variation in
interpretation of angiograms and its potential effect on
appropriateness of use of revascularization procedures.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Angiograms of 308
randomly selected patients previously studied for
appropriateness of angiography, coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG), and percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA) were interpreted by a blinded panel of
3 experienced angiographers and compared with the
original interpretations. The potential effect on differences
on the appropriateness of revascularization was assessed
by use of the RAND criteria. Technical deficiencies were
found in 52% of cases. Panel readings tended to show less
significant disease (none in 16% of vessels previously read
as showing significant disease), less severity of stenosis
(43% lower, 6% higher), and lower extent of disease (23%
less, 6% more). The classification of CABG changed from
necessary/appropriate to uncertain/inappropriate for 17%
to 33% of cases when individual ratings were replaced by
panel readings. CONCLUSIONS: The general level of
technical quality of coronary angiography is
unsatisfactory. Variation in the interpretation of
angiograms was substantial in all measures and tended to
be higher in individual than in panel readings. The effect
was to lead to a potential overestimation of
appropriateness of use of CABG by 17% and of PTCA by
10%. These findings indicate the need for increased
attention to the technical quality of studies and an
independent second reading for angiograms before
recommending revascularization. Reprinted from the

Changes in American Opinion About
Family Planning. C. A. Grammich, J. DaVanzo, K.
Stewart. 2004.
A 1998 public opinion survey conducted in the United
States indicated high levels of support for many family
planning policies, including US health insurance coverage
of family planning services and US sponsorship of family
planning programs in developing countries. To gauge
changes in opinion on these issues since then, some of the
1998 questions were asked in an omnibus 2003 survey.
The results indicate continuing high support for requiring
US health insurers to cover family planning services (87
percent in 1998 and 84 percent in 2003), but some loss of
support (from 80 to 69 percent) for US sponsorship of
family planning programs in developing countries.
Opinion remains divided on the policy of prohibiting
nongovernmental organizations from receiving federal
funding for performing or actively promoting abortion
services. The authors explore several possible explanations
for these findings, including the role changing presidential
policy may have had in shaping opinion regarding family
planning aid for developing countries. Originally

The Right Stuff: Defense Planning
Challenges for a New Century. F. S. Larrabee. 2004.
In the coming decade, the United States will face a
different and more challenging security environment than
it did during the Cold War. Meeting the challenges of
growing instability in Muslim regions, threatening nonstate actors, political shifts in northeast Asia, the
accelerated proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,
and the needs of postwar reconstruction in such places as
Iraq and Afghanistan will require significant adjustments
in the force posture investment priorities of the U.S. armed
forces. Domestic factors, especially the growing budget
deficit, could also affect the willingness of the American
public to support large increases in the defense budget.
Adapting to these challenges will require the second Bush
administration to make hard choices regarding investment
priorities-choices that will be controversial within the
armed services. The United States will need to give higher
priority to equipment and forces designed to fight wars “in
the shadows,” as opposed to major conventional wars, and
then to undertake effective postwar reconstruction.

Understanding the Insider Threat:
Proceedings of a March 2004 Workshop. R. C. Brackney,
R. H. Anderson. 2004.
Perhaps the greatest threat that the intelligence community
(IC) must address in the area of information assurance is
the "insider threat"-malevolent (or possibly inadvertent)
actions by an already trusted person with access to
sensitive information and information systems. This
document reports the results of a workshop that brought
together IC members with specific knowledge of IC
document management systems and IC business practices;
persons with knowledge of insider attackers, both within
and outside the IC; and researchers involved in developing
technology to counter insider threats. Plenary and breakout
sessions discussed various aspects of the problem,
including intelligence community system models,
vulnerabilities and exploits, attacker models, and event
characterization. Participants listed the following
challenges: defining an effective way of monitoring what
people do with their cyber access; developing policies and
procedures to create as bright a line as possible between
allowed and disallowed behaviors; considering
sociological and psychological factors and creating better
cooperation between information systems personnel and
human resources personnel; and combining events from
one or more sensors (possibly of various types or different
levels of abstraction) to facilitate building systems that test
hypotheses about malicious insider activity. Workshop
members also considered what databases would aid in this
research if they were available. Online access:

U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue.
R. Lal, R. Rajagopalan. 2004.
Until recently, India and the United States had limited
interactions and few cooperative endeavors. However, the
relationship has improved dramatically over the past
several years. Because the candid exchange of ideas is the
key to ensuring that differences of interests and
perspectives do not lead back to the estrangement that
characterized the relationship between the two countries
for the last half-century, the Observer Research
Foundation and the RAND Corporation held a "strategic
dialogue" in New Delhi on December 10–11, 2003. The
meeting brought together scholars, diplomats, and
functionaries from the governments of India and the
United States to discuss policy issues important to both
countries. This report is designed in part to keep
decisionmakers in Washington and New Delhi-as well as
others interested in improving U.S.-India relationsinformed of the current thinking of leading intellectuals on
these issues, to acquaint them with areas of consensus, and
to provide insights that will help them understand how
each country's strategic perspective on each issue could
affect the bilateral relationship between the two nations.
Discussion topics were organized in five panels: National
Security Strategies and the Future of U.S.-India Relations;
The Campaign Against Terrorism; Pakistan's Internal
Security and Politics; Postwar Afghanistan; and Political
Trends in the Gulf Region. Online access:

Engaging Russia as Partner and
Participant: The Next Stage of NATO-Russia Relations.
R. E. Hunter, S. M. Rogov. 2004.
Relations between the Russian Federation and the West
have evolved steadily since the end of the Cold War,
especially since the NATO-Russia Council (NRC) was
established in May 2002. In late 2001, the RAND
Corporation and the Institute for the USA and Canada
Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISKRAN)
created a North American-European-Russian working
group to examine the growing cooperation between the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia
and to suggest ways to foster it. The Working Group on
NATO-Russia relations does not suggest that Russia seek
or be offered NATO membership. Rather, the group
suggests that Russia become more deeply involved, as an
equal partner, in NATO deliberations, including in regard
to the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. It also
191
suggests fostering practical cooperation at all levels,
including militarily, in areas of mutual concern. The goal
is that NATO and Russia should share responsibilities and
reinforce efforts to build security and free societies across
Eurasia. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

Middle East policy continues to be dominated by the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction (WMD), Iraq security, and other chronic
security problems. At the same time, however, the region
and, by extension, the United States and Europe face a
variety of new policy challenges, including the spread of
Islamist extremism, the growth of al-Qaida and affiliated
groups, and the growing rift between the West and the
wider Middle East. This combination of new and perennial
challenges served as the backdrop for an informal
discussion among a group of experts who gathered on June
27–29, 2004, at a workshop focusing on the United States,
Europe, and the greater Middle East, which was hosted by
the Center for Middle East Public Policy, a RAND
National Security Research Division program, and the
Geneva Centre for Security Policy. The attendees explored
a set of five topics: the insurgency in Iraq, the Arab-Israeli
situation, the terrorist threat, internal security in Saudi
Arabia, and Iran and the proliferation of WMD. Each topic
was addressed with an eye toward understanding their
implications for the region as a whole and exploring what
the broader consequences might be for American and
European policy. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

New information technologies have created unprecedented

ways that make our lives both easier and safer, but the
potential for these technologies to be used in ways that
diminish our privacy and civil liberties is equally
unprecedented. Effective decisionmaking in this domain
will require many kinds of knowledge. To build this
knowledge base, the RAND Corporation and Carnegie
Mellon University propose an integrated, multidisciplinary
research program to be conducted within a living

OCCASIONAL PAPERS
OP-101-RC
Clean, Lean and Able: A Strategy for
Defense Development. D. C. Gompert, O. Oliker, A.
Timilsina. 2004.
Just a decade ago, dramatic developments held out the
promise of a secure, free, prosperous, fair, and inclusive
world. There was hope that the East would democratize,
the South would develop, and both would join the West in
a global commonwealth of political and economic
freedom. Despite some notable successes, today's reality
falls well short of that vision. Since the end of the Cold
War, the gap in per capita annual income between rich and
poor countries has grown, vast populations in Africa and
elsewhere exist in destitution and desperation, and
undeveloped regions still suffer under authoritarian rule,
economic mismanagement, ethnic feuding, and
international disputes. Add to the equation the
proliferation of dangerous weapons, the rise of religious
fanaticism, and the predation of terrorists, and the result is
that these regions are becoming not less but more
hazardous to themselves and to the rest of the world. This
issue paper examines the ineffective, wasteful,
unaccountable, and often kleptocratic character of
developing countries, defense institutions, including their
militaries. It discusses defense development—also known
as defense-sector reform—for countries that should be
going through political and economic transition. The
authors argue that approaches to defense development to
date have lacked strategic commitment, clear institutional
responsibility, objective metrics, and leverage. They point
out that the security situation in much of the developing
world is bad enough to warrant shaping up and cleaning
up and this paper is intended to provoke a critical and
urgent look at this problem and how it should be tackled.

Collecting the Dots: Problem
Formulation and Solution Elements. M. C. Libicki, S. L.
Pfleeger. 2004.
The prevailing view in the intelligence and public safety
communities is that forestalling major threats such as
terrorist attacks or epidemics requires weaving together
disconnected pieces of information to reveal broader
patterns; in more common terms, we call this "connecting
the dots." In this paper, we argue that connecting the dots
is less likely to happen unless one takes a prior step:
194
"collecting the dots," that is, bringing scattered pieces of
information into some proximity to each other to enable
pattern recognition. This paper is intended to help
decisionmakers understand the dimensions of solving the
problem of "collecting the dots." Any solution involves
identifying what information is important and improving
its circulation within communities that are in a position to
connect the dots so collected. The paper describes
organizational and informational barriers to "collecting the
dots" and explores the characteristics of potential solutions
to overcoming them. Online access: http://

Looking to the Future: What Does
Transformation Mean for Military Manpower and
Personnel Policy? B. J. Asch, J. R. Hosek. 2004.
The purpose of the military's transformation effort is to
ensure that it has the capabilities it needs to defend the
United States against a spectrum of unknown and
uncertain threats. Such transformation requires a
reassessment of both the military's current manpower and
personnel policies and the factors that will affect the
continued success of the all-volunteer force over the next
decade and beyond. This paper, prepared for the
Conference on the All-Volunteer Force After 30 Years,
describes how transformation is defined in the military and
discusses the likely implications of transformation for
military manpower requirements and whether the existing
military personnel management and compensation systems
support those transformation-related goals. Finally, it
examines the types of personnel management and
compensation policy changes that might be required. The
authors conclude that the major challenge to transforming
the military compensation and personnel management
systems is increasing the flexibility for managing
personnel and supporting a culture of creativity,
entrepreneurial activity, and intelligent risk-taking. They
examine several compensation approaches: expanded
performance appraisals; awards for creativity and
innovation; a voluntary duty assignment system; and payfor-performance
schemes.

Stretching the Network: Using
Transformed Forces in Demanding Contingencies Other
Than War. D. C. Gompert, H. Pung, K. A. O'Brien, J.
Peterson. 2004.
In the United States, transformation to a networked force
is being pursued mainly to preserve and bolster the ability
to prevail decisively in major expeditionary war. But can
networking solve common operational challenges in
nonpermissive contingencies short of war? The authors
describe the capabilities of networked forces and examine
their utility for meeting the challenges of these lesser
contingencies. They then analyze ten possible hypothetical
scenarios to assess the value of networking capabilities for
each scenario. The authors conclude that the ability to
gather, fuse, and share information is important for
overcoming nearly all operational problems associated
with nonpermissive contingencies other than war. In
addition, networking has particular advantages in finding,
distinguishing, and destroying resistance; pursuing
distributed objectives, controlling wide areas, and seizing
critical points; rescuing, evacuating, and protecting
noncombatants; eliminating residual threats and restoring
order; and minimizing damage and casualties while
accomplishing those tasks. Online access:

Coordinating the War on Terrorism. L.
E. Davis, G. F. Treverton, D. Byman, S. A. Daly, W.
Rosenau. 2004.
The war on terrorism has changed Americans' lives and
strained the capacities of their government. The federal
government confronts a confounding array of choices
about priorities and coordination. The new war calls on the
panoply of instruments within the federal
government—from military action to law enforcement,
from intelligence to diplomacy. Each of the main
government departments (Homeland Security, State,
Justice, Defense, Treasury) has a major role, but none can
succeed on its own, and the number of agencies involved
in aspects of counterterrorism is large and growing. This
Occasional Paper addresses the question of how the war
on terrorism should be coordinated within the executive
branch of the federal government, in particular within the
White House. It begins by surveying the historical record
and then lays out the critical choices. The authors
recommend that the war on terrorism should be managed
by the White House, although with considerable
devolution of operating responsibilities to lead agencies;
that all counterterrorism coordinating responsibility should
lie with the National Security Council; and that the newly
created Terrorist Threat Integration Center be given
greater analytical responsibility for coordinating foreign
and domestic human intelligence collection. Online

External Audiences for Test-Based
Accountability: The Perspectives of Journalists and
Foundations. L. S. Hamilton, B. M. Stecher. 2004.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires states to
adopt test-based accountability systems designed to
promote improved achievement by setting clear goals for
student learning, measuring students' progress toward
those goals, and holding educators accountable for this
progress through the dissemination of results and the
imposition of rewards, sanctions, and assistance. Although
much has been written about the law, little has been
written about the interaction of NCLB with external
195
audiences that do not have formal connections with the
schools. This study focuses on two key external audiences
that are involved in public education and that frequently
use data from schools and districts in their work—print
journalists and foundation program officers. The authors
use insights from conversations with journalists and
program officers to identify ways to improve the utility of
information from test-based accountability systems. They
summarize the data needs of the two groups and the
problems they encounter when trying to interpret test
results and offer advice to the producers of performance
reports and analyses (states, school districts, and
researchers) and to the external consumers of those reports
(journalists and program officers) on how to enhance the
utility of the information. Online access:

The Lessons of the Asian and Latin
American Financial Crises for Chinese Bond Market. W.
H. Overholt. 2004.
A well-regulated bond market could help the Chinese
government fund itself, help fund companies that could
create the jobs China so desperately needs, and enable
companies, pension funds, insurance funds, and social
security funds to match their assets and liabilities properly.
This would help stabilize China both financially and
socially. Because China now has significant government
debt, combined with a history of not letting that debt get
out of control, it has the potential to develop a
sophisticated government bond market that could become
the foundation both for a large Chinese corporate bond
market and, when the currency is fully convertible, for a
regional bond market. The Asian crisis teaches us not only
that Asian countries need bond markets to stabilize their
finances but also that bond markets will be unstable
without painful reforms to ensure rigorous accounting,
transparency, strong bankruptcy and foreclosure laws, an
effective legal system, and bank accountability. Online

Carnegie-RAND Workshop
on the Future of the Greater Middle East and the Prospects

The greater Middle East includes Central and South Asia
and the Caucasus—a proximity that is one reason for
Russian concern about the region. The war on terrorism
has only heightened U.S. interests there. Can these former
competitors work together for the benefit of all? The
RAND Corporation and the Carnegie Moscow Center
convened a workshop in Moscow in September 2003 to
examine these issues. Participants discussed regional
security issues, U.S. and Russian policy agendas for
selected countries, and prospects for U.S.-Russian
partnership. It was easier to identify common goals,
interests, and viewpoints than to identify concrete areas for
cooperation, in part because of the history of mutual
distrust. Yet the two nations have cooperated on issues
large and small, demonstrating that the problems can be
overcome. Indeed, the common goals and needs make it
imperative that they do so. Even modest cooperative
activities, as long as they are built across the wide span of
the region, may help the two nations to advance their own
goals while building a better mutual relationship. Online

Assimilating Immigrants: Why America

The United States and France differ greatly in their

Latinos. France wants the immigrants to do it all. As a
result, the Muslim North Africans of France's first wave of
mass immigration are not assimilating well. The author
compares the two current cases and briefly discusses the
policy implications: The U.S. seems on its best course, but
France needs policy changes to at least keep the peace.

Public Diplomacy: How to Think About
and Improve It. C. Wolf, B. Rosen. 2004.
The authors propose a new approach to conceptualizing
and conducting public diplomacy, defined as a process of
informing and convincing foreign publics, especially those
in the Muslim world, that the ideals Americans cherishsuch as pluralism, freedom, women's rights, and
democracy-are fundamental human values that will
resonate in their own countries. The approach they
propose sharply differentiates public diplomacy from the
marketing of commercial goods and services, focusing
instead on the central roles of constituencies and
adversaries in public diplomacy. Associated with this
consideration are two questions rarely addressed in most
discussions of public diplomacy: (1) Should the U.S.
government be the only, or even the main, transmitter of
196
public diplomacy's content, rather than sharing this
function with such other potential transmitters as
nongovernmental (nonprofit) organizations and
responsible business, labor, and academic entities? (2)
Should public diplomacy transmissions and transactions
be viewed and conducted to encourage dialogue or
"multilogue" (for example, through call-in shows, debates,
and structured "cross fires"), rather than as a monologue
through one-way transmission by the United States?

Issues and Options for Government

Dixon, J. Arlington, S. J. Carroll, D. Lakdawalla, R. T.
Reville, D. M. Adamson. 2004.
Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the federal
government adopted the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act
(TRIA), which requires insurers to make terrorism
coverage available to commercial policyholders. In
exchange, the federal government will reimburse insurers
for a portion of insured losses above a particular threshold.
This paper frames the central issues in the debate over
whether to extend, modify, or end TRIA, and explores the

The European Union (EU) stands on the threshold of a

agreement of all EU states is required for ratification. As a
consequence of disagreements over many aspects of the
European Constitution, however, the future of the
document is at risk. America once faced a similar
challenge. The U.S. Constitution almost certainly would
not have been ratified if agreement of all states had been
required. This paper describes how the U.S. Constitutional
Convention developed the "Rule of Nine"-that nine states
out of 13 were needed for ratification-and briefly describes
the state-by-state ratification process. Finally, it suggests
that U.S. history may provide a relevant lesson for the EU.

A Simple Game-Theoretic Approach to
Suppression of Enemy Defenses and Other Time Critical
Target Analyses. T. Hamilton, R. Mesic. 2004.
The effectiveness of attacks on time critical targets
(suppression of enemy air defenses, interdiction, and antitheater ballistic missile missions) often depends on
decisions made by the adversary. Game theory is a way to
study likely changes in enemy behavior resulting from
various attack capabilities and goals. Engagement-level
combat is treated as a two-player game in which each
player is free to choose its strategy. The response an
intelligent opponent is likely to make to differing levels of
threat capability is critical to understanding and measuring
the capability necessary to induce the enemy to follow a
preferred course of action. Enemy willingness to engage is
an important factor. If the enemy decides not to launch
missiles or move ground vehicles, it has become
paralyzed, in itself a worthy goal. The emphasis in the
study is on the choice of strategies in realistic military
situations; all can be analyzed with straightforward
mathematics. Finally, the authors discuss situations in
which the two sides have different views of the duration of
the conflict or the appropriate measures of effectiveness. It
is a great advantage to a combatant to know the opponent's
real objectives. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Artificial Reefs: A Disposal Option
for Navy and MARAD Ships. M. Hynes, J. E. Peters, D.
Rushworth. 2004.
By 2005, the U.S. Navy and the Maritime Administration
will have accumulated some 360 retired ships in need of
disposal. A previous RAND study reviewed disposal
options such as recycling (either domestically or overseas)
and long-term storage. However, preparation and use of
the ships for construction of artificial reefs was identified
as the lowest-cost option. With the demonstrated potential
attractiveness of reefing as a disposal option, in this study
the authors examine the economic, legal, environmental,
and programmatic issues that might bear on the Navy's
decision to pursue the reefing option more seriously. They
examine the demand for ships to be used as reefs and the
impediments to such use, suggest program goals, and
review possible business models for their potential to
minimize risks and costs to the Navy. Online access:

Framework for Quantifying
Uncertainty in Electric Ship Design. I. Porche, H. H.
Willis, M. Ruszkowski. 2004.
The Office of Naval Research has been sponsoring
development of analytic tools for exploring the benefits of
electric drive propulsion for naval vessels. RAND has
performed an initial assessment to assist in this work.
Researchers focused on developing a framework for
assessing the different technologies for key components of
electric propulsion, such as motors, generators, and power
electronics, but did not assess specific alternatives. This
197
documented briefing outlines the approach the authors
developed for making such assessments (which uses
modeling and Monte Carlo simulations), presents the
quantitative methods they used to analyze the potential
performance of various components, suggests how this
information can be integrated to assess the affects on
overall ship performance. The authors illustrate this by
presenting performance metrics for several components
and examining their effects on one key ship-level
performance metric, ship power density for a notional
electric-propulsion destroyer. Online access:

How Much Is Enough? Sizing the
Deployment of Baggage Screening Equipment by
Considering the Economic Cost of Passenger Delays. R.
D. Shaver, M. Kennedy, C. Shirley, P. Dreyer. 2004.
In the wake of September 11, 2001, the Transportation
Security Agency was given the responsibility for ensuring
that all baggage flying on U.S. commercial aircraft would
be screened. Left undefined was how much baggagescanning equipment should be deployed at each airport,
given the objective of scanning all arriving baggage
thoroughly while not unnecessarily inconveniencing the
flying public. This documented briefing builds on an
earlier RAND white paper, "Safer Skies," answering the
question, "how much is enough?" by minimizing the total
direct and inferred costs to the flying public for different
Electronic Detection System deployment sizes. The
authors also offer a discussion of the pros and cons of
positive passenger profiling and how the introduction of
profiling might reduce these costs. Online access:

The Benefits of Positive Passenger
Profiling on Baggage Screening Requirements. R. D.
Shaver, M. Kennedy. 2004.
"Positive passenger profiling" concerns finding ways to
eliminate certain passengers as airline security risks
through a "registered traveler" program, thus making it
possible to concentrate on screening the baggage of other
passengers. The result would be less cost to the airlines
and fewer delays for passengers. Many people within and
outside the government oppose any strategy that allows
anyone (registered traveler or not) to avoid having his or
her bags inspected. Others perceive the benefits of
profiling as attractive despite the risks. In an attempt to
balance the pros and cons of profiling, the authors sought
to find a way to scan as many bags as possible without
abandoning the benefits of profiling. This briefing presents
their calculations of the costs and number of machines
needed for various levels of screening reliability,
passenger delay, passenger profiling, and traveler delay.

How Much Is Enough? Sizing the
Deployment of Baggage Screening Equipment to
Minimize the Cost of Flying: Executive Summary. R. D.
Shaver, M. Kennedy, C. Shirley, P. Dreyer. 2004.
In response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Congress
mandated that all bags carried onto aircraft—including
baggage checked at the ticket counter—be inspected for
contraband (e.g., bombs). This briefing summarizes the
results of a RAND study that calculated the minimum cost
to the nation's economy of providing baggage scanning at
all U.S. airports without affecting security. These costs
include the cost of the extra time the passenger spends at
the airport due to the length of the baggage screening
queues, and the estimated cost to the passenger related to
the deployed scanning equipment—assuming that this cost
will be charged to the passengers through a security tax
added to all tickets. The authors also perform a more
complex calculation in which they substantially broaden
the calculation to include the entire aviation industry to
better captures the effects on the nation's economy. As a
variant, they discuss the pros and cons of positive
passenger profiling, sometimes called a "registered
traveler" program. Their results show that an optimal
baggage screening capability would be achieved if
baggage-scanning queues were kept to no more than five
minutes. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/

An Analysis of Sabbatical Leaves for
Navy Surface Warfare Officers. R. J. Yardley, H. Thie, K.
Brancato, M. Abbott. 2004.
Naval Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) spend long
periods at sea, where they cannot attend to their families or
to personal business. This can reduce morale and
negatively affect retention. The Navy has been exploring
programs that would better accommodate the needs of
SWOs through increased use of sabbatical leaves. These
programs include allowing former SWOs to return to
service, offering leaves of absence, or allowing extended
leave between duty stations. This briefing assess the
problem, examines the proposed solutions, and offers
concluding observations. This research focused on the
potential return on investment (ROI) for each program,
rather than whether it would directly improve retention.
Although all three programs can provide quantifiable
benefits and improve morale, both returns to service and
leaves of absence offer positive ROIs, although the latter
would cost more. The benefits of the personal leave
option, on the other hand, do not outweigh its costs. Note
that, to capture the full benefits of these programs,
retaining more SWOs longer requires a corresponding
decrease in SWO accessions. Online access:

The Impact of Equipment Availability and
Reliability on Mission Outcomes: An Initial Look. C.
Kelley. 2004.
This documented briefing describes an initial effort to gain
insights on how the availability and reliability of Army
equipment affect ground combat results and to assess the
consequent implications for current and future forces.
Combat results were generated using the JANUS model, a
force-on-force simulation. For the purposes of this effort,
JANUS was modified to take into account equipment
availability before an engagement begins and equipment
failures during the engagement. The principal scenario
used was a forced entry by U.S. forces into Kosovo to
neutralize Serbian forces and to stop ethnic cleansing. A
second scenario based in Poland was used to check the
broader applicability of results from the Kosovo scenario.
The legacy force issues addressed include the effect of
equipment availability and reliability on a unit's combat
capability, including a comparison with results derived
from Lanchester Theory; the effects of combat aging; and
the potential contribution from rebuilding equipment. The
future force issue addressed was the comparative
contributions of improved equipment supportability
relative to other combat-enhancing characteristics such as
the
use
of
robotics.

The Strategic Distribution
System in Support of Operation Enduring Freedom. M. L.
Robbins, P. Boren, K. Leuschner. 2004.
In early 2000, leaders of the U.S. Transportation
Command (TRANSCOM) and the Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA) agreed to embark jointly on the "Strategic
Distribution" program (SD) as a means to streamline and
improve significant elements of the Defense distribution
system, and thereby deliver more reliable and costeffective service to DoD forces and organizations in the
United States and around the globe. For over a year and a
half, SD teams made considerable progress in enhancing
the underlying structure of the Defense distribution system
and improving service through a series of rolling
implementations. In 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom
(OEF) posed a demanding challenge to the Defense
distribution system and tested the principles and strategies
that were being implemented. SD's main goal of providing
fast, reliable service to its worldwide customers had to be
met in a new environment in which vital resources, usually
devoted to moving cargo to worldwide military units, were
pulled away for months at a time to support other warrelated missions, while forces were deployed to new bases
at the far ends of the globe. This documented briefing
seeks to explain the multistranded story of SD, discussing
why a significant change was needed in Defense
distribution, how SD sought to transform the system, and
how well that system met the challenge of OEF. Online

Managing Complexity During Military
Urban Operations: Visualizing the Elephant. R. W.
Glenn. 2004.
The complexity that characterizes modern urban
operations combines with a perceived intolerance of
military casualties to make actions in cities among the
most difficult missions that U.S. armed forces will
undertake. This study proposes a new planning approach
that employs identification of critical points—the essential
elements of the urban area's physical and demographic
terrain—along with the notion of density—the quantity of
elements and activities within the urban space—to aid
military personnel in their efforts to overcome the
complexity. Integrating this approach with the traditional
command estimate process should assist the planner in
determining how best to allocate a command's everscarce resources. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Using a Spend Analysis to Help Identify
Prospective Air Force Purchasing and Supply
Management Initiatives: Summary of Selected Findings.
N. Y. Moore, C. R. Cook, C. Lindenblatt, C. A.
Grammich. 2004.
This briefing summarizes research on how the Air Force
might use an analysis of its spending to develop better
supply strategies, improve its relationships with suppliers,
and better manage its supply base. Best practices offer
many ways by which the Air Force can improve
performance and save money. Such techniques include
consolidating multiple contracts with existing providers,
selecting the best providers and offering them longer
contracts with broader scopes of goods and services, and
working with selected strategic partners to improve
quality, responsiveness, reliability, and cost. There are
many challenges to conducting an Air Force-wide spend
analysis, primarily the lack of detailed, centralized data on
all expenditures as well as questions about data quality for
those data that are available. Nevertheless, the data that do
exist point to many prospective sources of savings and
performance improvements. The authors analyze the most
complete centralized source available on Air Force
expenditures, known as DD350 data. Transactions in the
DD350 data constitute 96 percent of all Air Force contract
dollars spent directly. Among the actions that the Air
Force might wish to take are: consolidation of a large
number of contracts with similar or the same supplier;
grouping contractor ID codes having multiple contracts
with the Air Force and many purchase office codes
associated with the same contractor, so that the Air Force
does not have to pay for the contractor's repetitive bidding
and contract administration costs; examining contracts for
199
goods or services available from only one supplier, which
gives the Air Force only limited opportunities to gain
leverage over such suppliers. Conducting a detailed Air
Force spend analysis would require information on the
needs, preferences, and priorities of commodity users not
available in the DD350 data. Because the Air Force needs
to balance prospective savings, performance
improvements, risks, socioeconomic and other goals, and
other regulations not always present in the private sector,
not all best commercial practices may be appropriate for it.

In fall 2001, the RAND Corporation conducted a survey of
officers and enlisted personnel who had recently returned
from a deployment to Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB) or
Eskan Village in Saudi Arabia. This documented briefing
reports the results of that effort, using survey data to
consider the utility of a PSAB/Eskan deployment as a
setting for broadening the skills and developing the
competencies of Air Force staff. This briefing also
addresses the larger issue of whether the learning that
occurs during deployments merits tracking. The authors
surveyed officers and enlisted personnel in the continental
United States who had returned from a PSAB/Eskan
deployment within the preceding 12 months. Respondents
selected all the settings, including PSAB/Eskan, in which
they learned a specific competency or skill. They then
indicated the single "best" learning environment for that
skill or competency. For the majority of the competencies
and skills included in the survey, PSAB/Eskan deployment
was frequently identified as a learning environment and in
many cases the "best" learning environment. Online

Welfare Reform and Health.
M. Bitler, J. B. Gelbach, H. W. Hoynes. 2004.
Commissioned by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA),
this study examines near-term options for reducing the
terrorist threat to Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX). The key to implementing a successful strategy of
deterrence is to understand and reduce LAX's
vulnerabilities. The authors analyze a wide range of
possible terrorist actions and assess LAX's level of
vulnerability. They then examine possible alternative
courses of action LAX can take to reduce these
vulnerabilities. Online access only: http://www.rand.

The Impact of Welfare Reform
on Marriage and Divorce. M. Bitler, J. B. Gelbach, H. W.
Hoynes, M. Zavodny. 2004.
Online access only: http://www.rand.org/publications/
WR/WR102-1/.
The goal of the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) was to end
the dependency of needy parents on government benefits,
in part by promoting marriage. The pre-reform welfare
system was widely believed to discourage marriage
because it primarily provided benefits to single mothers.
However, welfare reform may have actually decreased the
200
incentives to be married by giving women greater
financial independence via the program's new emphasis on
work. This paper uses Vital Statistics data on marriages
and divorces during 1989–2000 to examine the role of
welfare reform (state waivers and TANF implementation)
and other state-level variables on flows into and out of
marriage. The results indicate that welfare reform has led
to fewer new divorces and fewer new marriages, although
the latter result is sensitive to specification and data
choice. Online access only: http://www.rand.org/

Self-Employment Trends and Patterns
Among Older U.S. Workers. L. A. Karoly, J. M.
Zissimopoulos. 2004.
Although self-employment is an important labor force
phenomenon at older ages, there is a paucity of studies that
examine the patterns of self-employment among older
U.S. workers. With the leading edge of the baby boom
cohort reaching retirement years, the rising rates of self
employment with age suggest that it is important to have a
solid understanding of who is self employed at older ages
and how patterns of self-employment may be changing
over time. Using cross-sectional time-series data from the
annual Current Population Survey from 1968 to 2002 and
cross-sectional data from the Health and Retirement Study
from 1998, we examine the trend in rates of selfemployment among workers age 50 and above. We
describe the characteristics of older self-employed
workers, in total and for subgroups, and compare them
with their wage and salary counterparts. Online access

The Effects of State Regulations on
Childcare Prices and Choices. R. Heeb, M. R. Kilburn.
2004.
Examines the effects state-level childcare regulations on
the price of childcare, the type of care chosen, and
mothers' decisions to work using regulations collected
from state archives and data from the National Childcare
Survey, which was collected in the U.S. in 1990.
Regulations have an economically significant effect on the
price of childcare, which in turn affects both the demand
of regulated care and the labor force participation choices
of the mothers. There is no direct quality assurance effect
of regulation on childcare demand. This suggests that
regulations may not achieve their intended objectives, and
alternatives such as subsidies might be more effective at
achieving policy goals. Online access only:

Models for Anchoring and Acquiescence
Bias in Consumption Data. A. Van Soest, M. D. Hurd.
2004.
201
Item non-response in household survey data on economic
variables such as income, assets or consumption is a wellknown problem. Follow-up unfolding bracket questions
have been used as a tool to collect partial information on
respondents that do not answer an open-ended question. It
is also known, however, that mistakes are made in
answering such unfolding bracket questions. In this paper,
we develop several limited dependent variable models to
analyze two sources of mistakes, anchoring and
acquiescence (or yeasaying), focusing on the first bracket
question. We use the experimental module of the AHEAD
1995 data, where the sample is randomly split into
respondents who get an open-ended question on the
amount of total family consumption—with follow-up
unfolding brackets (of the form: is consumption $X or
more?) for those who answer "don't know" or
"refuse"—and respondents who are immediately directed
to unfolding brackets. In both cases, the entry point of the
unfolding bracket sequence is randomized. We compare
models in which the probability of a mistake depends on
the deviation between the true consumption amount and
the entry point amount $X and models in which it does
not. We find that allowing for acquiescence bias
substantially changes the conclusions on the selective
nature of non-response to the open-ended question and on
the distribution of consumption expenditures in the
population. Once acquiescence bias is taken into account,
anchoring in the first bracket question plays only a minor
role. Online access only: http://www.rand.org/

International Comparisons of Work
Disability. J. Banks, A. Kapteyn, J. P. Smith, A. Van
Soest. 2004.
Self-reported work disability is analyzed in the US, the
UK and the Netherlands. Different wordings of the
questions lead to different work disability rates. But even
if identical questions are asked, crosscountry differences
remain substantial. Respondent evaluations of work
limitations of hypothetical persons described in vignettes
are used to identify the extent to which differences in selfreports between countries or socio-economic groups are
due to systematic variation in the response scales. Results
suggest that more than half of the difference between the
rates of self-reported work disability in the US and the
Netherlands can be explained by response scale
differences. A similar methodology is used to analyze the
reporting bias that arises if respondents justify being on
disability benefits by overstating their work limiting
disabilities. Online access only: http://www.rand.org/

Time-Inconsistency and Welfare.
Bhattacharya, D. Lakdawalla. 2004.
J.
Self-control devices, such as rehabilitation programs,
group commitment, and informal fines, can make timeinconsistent smokers better off. Health economists have
used this result to argue in favor of cigarette taxes that
restrain smoking. However, taxes alone are not Paretoimproving overall, because they benefit today's smoker at
the expense of her future selves, who have less demand for
self-control. We suggest an alternative class of taxation
policies that provide self-control and benefit a smoker at
every point in life. Smokers could be allowed to purchase
“smoking licenses” when they start to smoke, and in
exchange commit their future selves to face compensated
cigarette taxes. We show that this scheme—which could
be made voluntary—improves the welfare of current and
future smokers, generates positive revenue for the
government, and can be made incentive compatible.
Similar schemes can also be envisioned to address
problems of time-inconsistency in other contexts. Online

How Much Is Post-Acute Care Use Affected
By Its Availability? M. B. Buntin, A. D. Garten, S. M.
Paddock, D. Saliba, M. Totten, J. J. Escarce. 2004.
To assess the relative impact of clinical factors versus nonclinical factors—such as post acute care (PAC) supply—in
determining whether patients receive care from skilled
nursing facilities (SNFs) or inpatient rehabilitation
facilities (IRFs) after discharge from acute care. Medicare
acute hospital, IRF and SNF claims provided data on PAC
choices; predictors of site of PAC chosen were generated
from Medicare claims, provider of services, enrollment
file, and Area Resource File data. We used multinomial
logit models to predict post-acute care use by elderly
patients after hospitalizations for stroke, hip fractures, or
lower extremity joint replacements. A file was constructed
linking Medicare acute and post-acute utilization data for
all sample patients hospitalized in 1999. PAC availability
is a more powerful predictor of PAC use than the clinical
characteristics in many of our models. The effects of
distance to providers and supply of providers are
particularly clear in the choice between IRF and SNF care.
The farther away the nearest IRF is, and the closer the
nearest SNF is, the less likely a patient is to go to an IRF.
Similarly, the fewer IRFs, and the more SNFs, there are in
the patient's area the less likely the patient is to go to an
IRF. In addition, if the hospital from which the patient is
discharged has a related IRF or a related SNF the patient is
more likely to go there. We find that the availability of
PAC is a major determinant of whether patients use such
202
care and which type of PAC facility they use. Further
research is needed in order to evaluate whether these
findings indicate that a greater supply of PAC leads to
both higher use of institutional care and better outcomes
—or whether it leads to unwarranted expenditures of
resources and delays in returning patients to their homes.

Assessing the Implementation of
Comprehensive School Reform Models. G. Vernez, R.
Karam, L. T. Mariano, C. DeMartini. 2004.
The Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration Act
(CSRD) of 1997 is providing increasingly larger amounts
of funds and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
explicitly authorizes the use of Title I funds for schools to
engage in whole school reforms. To date, several
thousands of schools throughout the country have taken
advantage of these extra funds seeking to implement one
or another of several dozens of different models of school
reform. All these models share a common focus on
changing the "whole school" in order to improve the
performance of at-risk students in high-poverty schools.
RAND is the recipient of one of five grants from the U.S.
Department of Education to study the effectiveness of
selected comprehensive school reform models:
Accelerated Schools, Core Knowledge, Direct Instruction,
and Success for All. This working paper describes how
schools that have adopted one of these four models have
actually implemented their prescribed requirements. This
description is based on the first of four waves of data
collection effort. The paper is intended primarily for those
monitoring the project's progress and for those engaged in
similar research. It is also intended to stir discussion about
research methodology and how to measure program
implementation. Online access only: http://www.rand.org/

Why Did the Welfare Caseload Decline? J.
A. Klerman, C. Danielson. 2004.
A substantial literature has considered the effects of
welfare reform policies on the aggregate caseload but has
been less successful in disaggregating the effects of
specific policies. Using monthly caseload data from
October 1989 through June 2003, we estimate a flexible
model for the dynamic response of the welfare caseload to
the economy and to the three major welfare reform
policies. Our results are consistent with the predictions of
economic theory and indicate the importance of carefully
specifying the intensity and dynamics of policy changes
and of including a rich set of measures of the economy.

The Interactive Effect of Birth Weight and
Parental Investment on Child Test Scores. D. S.
Loughran, A. Datar, M. R. Kilburn. 2004.
This paper explores how observed and unobserved
parental investments compensate for low birth weight.
Controlling for family fixed effects, which encompass
unobserved parental investment, we find birth weight
positively correlates with math and reading scores and
these estimates are considerably larger in magnitude than
estimates derived from models that do not control for
family fixed effects. Additionally, we examine how three
specific parental investments—kindergarten entrance age,
maternal labor supply, and family size—interact with birth
weight in models of child test scores. Of these
investments, only smaller family size conveys particular
advantage to low birth weight children. Online access

Insurance, Self-Protection, and the
Economics of Terrorism. D. Lakdawalla, G. Zanjani.
2004.
This paper investigates the rationale for public
intervention in the terrorism insurance market. It argues
that government subsidies for terror insurance are aimed,
in part, at discouraging self-protection and limiting the
negative externalities associated with self-protection.
Cautious self-protective behavior by a target can hurt
public goods like national prestige if it is seen as "giving
in" to the terrorists, and may increase the loss probabilities
faced by others by encouraging terrorists to substitute
toward more vulnerable targets. We argue that these
externalities are essential for normative analysis of
government intervention and may also explain why
203
availability problems in this market have engendered
much stronger government responses than similar
problems in other catastrophe insurance markets. Online

Medicaid at Birth, WIC Take Up, and
Children's Outcomes M. Bitler, J. M. Currie. 2004.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC) provides food and nutritional
advice to low-income women, and infants and children,
who are income eligible and are nutritionally-at-risk. The
effects of WIC on infants have been extensively studied,
but children one to four are the most rapidly growing part
of the WIC caseload, and little information is available
about the effects of WIC on this group. Using data from
the 1996 and 2001 panels of the Survey of Income and
Program Participation (SIPP), we show that Medicaid
policies that affected take up among infants had long term
effects on participation in the WIC program. By contrast,
increases in the generosity of Medicaid towards older
children increased WIC eligibility without having much
impact on participation. Hence increases in WIC
participation among children have not been driven by
higher income families made eligible as a result of SCHIP,
as some critics have argued. Our most striking finding is
that WIC participation at age four has large and significant
effects on the probability that a child is at risk of
overweight (i.e. had BMI greater than the 85th percentile
for sex and age). This suggests that either the nutrition
education or the actual provision of healthy food is helping
to prevent obesity among young children. This is an
important measure of the success of the WIC program
because of the importance of obesity as a public health
threat, and because of the importance of establishing
healthy eating habits early in life. Online access only:

Breakfast of Champions? The School
Breakfast Program and the Nutrition of Children and
Families. J. Bhattacharya, J. M. Currie, S. Haider. 2004.
We use the National Health and Nutritional Examination
Survey (NHANES) III to examine the effect of the
availability of the school breakfast program (SBP). Our
work builds on previous research in four ways: First, we
develop a transparent difference-in-differences strategy to
account for unobserved differences between students with
access to SBP and those without. Second, we examine
serum measures of nutrient in addition to intakes based on
dietary recall data. Third, we ask whether the SBP
improves the diet by increasing/or decreasing the intake of
nutrients relative to meaningful threshold levels. Fourth,
we examine the effect of the SBP on other members of the
family besides the school-aged child. We have three main
findings. First, the SBP helps students build good eating
habits: SBP increases scores on the healthy eating index,
reduces the percentage of calories from fat, and reduces
the probability of low fiber intake. Second, the SBP
reduces the probability of serum micronutrient
deficiencies in vitamin C, vitamin E, and folate, and it
increases the probability that children meet USDA
recommendations for potassium and iron intakes. Since we
find no effect on total calories these results indicate that
the program improves the quality of food consumed.
Finally, in households with school-aged children, both
preschool children and adults have healthier diets and
consume less fat when the SBP is available. These results
suggest that school nutrition programs may be an effective
way to combat both nutritional deficiencies and excess
consumption among children and their families. Online

Health and Wealth of Elderly Couples:
Causality Tests Using Dynamic Panel Data Models. P.
Michaud, A. Van Soest. 2004.
A positive relationship between socio-economic status
(SES) and health, the so-called "health-wealth gradient", is
repeatedly found in most industrialized countries with
similar levels of health care technology and economic
welfare. This study analyzes causality from health to
wealth (health causation) and from wealth to health
(wealth or social causation) for elderly couples in the US.
Using six biennial waves of couples aged 51–61 in 1992
from the Health and Retirement Study, we compare the
recently developed strategy using Granger causality tests
of Adams et al. (2003, Journal of Econometrics) with tests
for causality in dynamic panel data models incorporating
unobserved heterogeneity. While Adams et al. tests reject
the hypothesis of no causality from wealth to husband's or
wife's health, the tests in the dynamic panel data model do
not provide evidence of wealth-health causality. On the
other hand, both methodologies lead to strong evidence of
causal effects from both spouses' health on household
wealth. Online access only: http://www.rand.org/

Identifying Deportable Aliens in the
Los Angeles County Jail: Implementing the HI-CAAP
Federal-Local Partnership. B. Raymond, L. J. Hickman,
E. Williams, K. J. Riley. 2004.
Throughout the 1990s, Los Angeles (L.A.) County
officials grew increasingly concerned about the negative
impact of criminally involved aliens on local public safety
and criminal justice resources. Of particular concern was
that subgroup of criminal aliens who had been previously
deported from the United States and later rearrested for
new criminal activity in L.A. County. In response, a multiagency partnership was formed called High Intensity
Criminal Alien Apprehension and Prosecution (HICAAP). The goals of the HI-CAAP partnership are to
increase the identification and federal prosecution of
previously deported criminal aliens. This report is an
assessment of the partnership's progress toward
implementation of these goals. The findings are that
considerable progress has been made in identification of
previously deported criminal aliens, including increased
ability to make a fingerprint-based identification;
improved working relationships with the Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Law
Enforcement Support Center, and progress toward
implementation of an automated immigration detainer
205
process. There also appears to have been progress toward
the goal of increased federal prosecution of HI-CAAP
aliens. Despite no increase in resources, the United States
Attorney Office has been actively seeking methods, such
as the adoption of the Fast Track program, to increase the
number of federal prosecutions of criminal aliens. The
issues raised in this report may serve as informative
background for federal policymakers and local
jurisdictions seeking to address criminal aliens. While they
are not easily developed or maintained, such partnerships
may hold great promise for addressing the
multijurisdictional problem of previously deported
criminal aliens. Online access only: http://www.rand.org/

Increases in Wealth Among the Elderly in
the Early 1990s: How Much Is Due to Survey Design? S.
Rohwedder, S. Haider, M. D. Hurd. 2004.
The Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old
(AHEAD) study shows a large increase in reported total
wealth between 1993 and 1995. Such an increase is not
found in other US household surveys around that period.
This paper examines one source of this difference. The
authors find that in AHEAD 1993 ownership rates of
stocks, CDs, bonds, and checking and saving accounts
were under-reported, resulting in under-measurement of
wealth in 1993, and a substantial increase in wealth from
1993 to 1995. The explanation for the under-reporting is a
combination of question sequence and wording in the
AHEAD survey instrument. Online access only:

Back to Work: Expectations and Realizations
of Work After Retirement. N. Maestas. 2004.
This paper analyzes labor force re-entry after retirement in
an effort to understand whether these "unretirement"
transitions are largely unexpected (perhaps resulting from
failures in planning or unexpected financial shocks) or
planned (perhaps representing a more complex retirement
process). Nearly one-half of retirees follow a
nontraditional retirement path that involves partial
retirement and/or unretirement, and the unretirement rate
among those observed at least five years after their first
retirement is 24 percent. The unretirement rate is even
higher among those retiring at younger ages (as high as 36
percent among those retiring at ages 51–52). the author
finds that unretirement was anticipated for all but nine
percent of retirees. If anything, expectations err on the side
of excessive pessimism about the future rather than
unwarranted optimism. Unretirement appears to be
qualitatively similar to partial retirement and there is some
evidence of a substantial correlation in the post-retirement
labor supply transitions of married couples. Online access

The Impact of Nearly Universal Insurance
Coverage on Health Care Utilization and Health: Evidence
from Medicare. D. E. Card, C. Dobkin, N. Maestas.
2004.
The authors use the increases in health insurance coverage
at age 65 generated by the rules of the Medicare program
to evaluate the effects of health insurance coverage on
health related behaviors and outcomes. The rise in overall
coverage at age 65 is accompanied by a narrowing of
disparities across race and education groups. Groups with
bigger increases in coverage at 65 experience bigger
reductions in the probability of delaying or not receiving
medical care, and bigger increases in the probability of
routine doctor visits. Hospital discharge records also show
large increases in admission rates at age 65, especially for
elective procedures like bypass surgery and joint
replacement. The rises in hospitalization are bigger for
whites than blacks, and for residents of areas with higher
rates of insurance coverage prior to age 65, suggesting that
the gains arise because of the relative generosity of
Medicare, rather than the availability of insurance
coverage. Finally, there are small impacts of reaching age
65 on self-reported health, with the largest gains among
the groups that experience the largest gains in insurance
coverage. In contrast they find no evidence of a shift in the
rate of growth of mortality rates at age 65. Online access

The purposes of this report are twofold: (1) to characterize
the ways in which treatment resources are coordinated for
offenders within the problem solving courts of the Los
Angeles Superior Court system; and (2) to examine the
views of various stakeholders within the court system
regarding problem solving courts, with particular emphasis
on the resource coordination process. Of particular interest
are issues such as whether stakeholders regard alternative
206
courts as providing equitable sanctions vis-a-vis traditional
courts, whether services-based programs are perceived to
work better to prevent recidivism than more traditional
sanctions, and the degree to which stakeholders believe
that various problems exist with provision of services in
these courts. Online access only: http://www.rand.org/

Evaluating Early Evidence on the
Implementation of Accountability Report Cards. J.
Russell. 2004.
For the first time under the No Child Left Behind Act
(NCLB), states and districts were mandated in 2003 to
produce accountability report cards presenting information
on the performance of states, districts and schools during
the 2002–03 year. Though for many states, NCLB simply
added new requirements to existing reporting systems.
NCLB states that production of report cards is intended to
hold schools accountable by providing parents with
information to make better choices and educators and
communities with information necessary to mount
improvement efforts. Preliminary analysis of
accountability report cards produced by state agencies in
California, Georgia and Pennsylvania and a sample of
school districts from each state indicates that current
report card have a number of limitations that impede their
ability to contribute to improved educational outcomes.
This paper examines preliminary evidence on the content,
format and accessibility of report cards produced at the
state, district and school levels, with attention to how the
results of this analysis relate to the purposes of
accountability reporting espoused by NCLB. It concludes
with recommendations for report card developers based on
this analysis and other research on accountability reporting

Wickizer, P. Harber, P. Wallace, S. M. Asch, C. H.
MacLean, R. Hasenfeld. 2004.
In recent years, the California workers' compensation
system has been encumbered by rising costs and high
utilization of medical care. To address these concerns, the
California legislature passed a series of initiatives that call
for the use of evidence-based medical-treatment guidelines
concerning, at a minimum, the frequency, duration,
intensity, and appropriateness of all treatment procedures
and modalities commonly performed in workers'
compensation cases. The American College of
Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM)
guidelines were adopted as presumptively correct until
alternative plans could be evaluated and a decision made
about which guidelines to adopt for the long term. This
working paper presents an evaluation of the medical
guidelines that might be used to determine the
appropriateness of care provided California's injured
workers. The study identified 73 guidelines for workrelated injuries, which were then screened using multiple
criteria. Five comprehensive guideline sets were found to
satisfy the requirements of the legislation and the
preferences of the state. A comparative evaluation was
made of both the technical quality and clinical content of
the selected guidelines. Based on the results of the
evaluation, recommendations are presented for actions the
state might take in the short term, the intermediate term,
and the longer term. Online access only:

How Does Health Insurance Affect
Workers' Compensation Filing? D. Lakdawalla, R. T.
Reville, S. A. Seabury. 2004.
Workers' compensation provides insurance against jobrelated injuries, but one-third to one-half of injured
workers choose not to file. Previous analysts have
presumed this to result in part from private health
insurance, an alternative source of health care that may
discourage insured workers from taking the time to file a
workers' compensation claim. However, data from the
NLSY paint a much different and more troubling picture:
uninsured and more vulnerable workers are less likely to
file claims than the insured. This paper studies this
relationship and find that it emerges as the result of
employer characteristics. Workers at firms who offer
health insurance to employees are more likely to file
workers' compensation claims: the characteristics of the
firm are more important than the insurance status of
workers themselves; moreover, even repeat injurysufferers are more likely to file during episodes in which
their employer offers health insurance. This suggests that
the workplace environment and employer incentives may
have a significant impact on the utilization of the workers'
compensation system. Online access only:

Self-Reported Work Disability in the US and
the Netherlands. A. Kapteyn, J. P. Smith, A. V. Soest.
2004.
Self-reported work disability is analyzed in the US and
The Netherlands. The raw data show that Dutch
respondents much more often report that they have a work
limiting health problem than respondents in the US. The
difference remains when controlling for demographic
characteristics and observed onsets of health problems.
Respondent evaluations of work limitations of
hypothetical persons described in vignettes are used to
identify the extent to which the differences in self-reports
between countries or socio-economic groups are due to
systematic variation in the response scales. A model that
207
assumes the same response scales for different health
domains is compared with a model that allows for domain
specific response scales. Results of both models suggest
that about half of the difference between the self-reported
rates of work disability in the US and The Netherlands can
be explained by response scale differences. Online access

Are There Gains to Delaying Marriage? The
Effects of Age at First Marriage on Career Development
and Wages. D. S. Loughran, J. M. Zissimopoulos. 2004.
Age at first marriage has risen dramatically since the mid1960s among a wide spectrum of the U.S. population.
Researchers have considered many possible explanations
for this trend. Few, though, have asked why individuals
should want to delay marriage in the first place. One
possibility is that early marriage inhibits the career
development of one or both individuals in a marriage. This
hypothesis is tested using data from the National
Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. Using panel data
methods that exploit longitudinal variation in wages and
marriage timing, the authors estimate that delaying
marriage increases hourly wages of women by nearly four
percent for each year they delay. Marriage timing has no
impact on the wages of men. They find that delaying
marriage may have costs as well. All else equal, women
who delay marriage marry spouses with lower wages.

Data for Adjusting Disability Ratings to
Reflect Diminished Future Earnings and Capacity in
Compliance with SB 899. S. A. Seabury, R. T. Reville, F.
Neuhauser. 2004.
The passage of SB 899 introduced sweeping reforms to the
California workers' compensation system. One of these
reforms was the requirement that the system for evaluating
the severity of permanent disabilities incorporate empirical
data on the long-term loss of income experienced by
workers with injuries to different parts of the body.
However, no previous work has provided enough
information on the predicted loss of earnings capacity for
different types of injuries to generate a complete set of
adjustments to the rating schedule. This document
summarizes the average disability ratings and 3-year
cumulative proportional earnings losses for 23 different
categories of disability. This includes a discussion
justifying the use of standard ratings (ratings before age
and occupation adjustments), proportional earnings losses
calculated at the individual level, and estimates of ratings
and losses for three separate regions of the spine. Online

Socioeconomic Status and Medical Care
Expenditures in Medicare Managed Care. K. Kapur, J. A.
Rogowski, V. A. Freedman, S. L. Wickstrom, J. L.
Adams, J. J. Escarce. 2004.
This study examined the effects of education, income, and
wealth on medical care expenditures in two Medicare
managed care plans. The study also sought to elucidate the
pathways through which socioeconomic status (SES)
affects expenditures, including preferences for health and
medical care and ability to navigate the managed care
system. The authors modeled the effect of SES on medical
care expenditures using Generalized Linear Models,
estimating separate models for each component of medical
expenditures: inpatient, outpatient, physician, and other
expenditures. They found that education, income, and
wealth all affected medical care expenditures, although the
effects of these variables differed across expenditure
categories. Moreover, the effects of these SES variables
were much smaller than the effects found in earlier studies
of fee-for-service Medicare. The pathway variables also
were associated with expenditures. Accounting for the
pathways through which SES affects expenditures
narrowed the effect of SES on expenditures; however, the
change in the estimates was very small. Thus, although
their measures of preferences and ability to navigate the
system were associated with expenditures, they did not
account for an appreciable share of the impact of SES on
expenditures. Online access only: http://www.rand.

Do the Elderly Respond to Taxes on
Earnings? Evidence from the Social Security Retirement
Earnings Test. D. S. Loughran, S. Haider. 2005.
The effective tax on earnings embodied in the Social
Security retirement earnings test has been as high as 50
percent. Surprisingly, among the numerous empirical
studies that have examined the earnings test, there is little
agreement about whether the earnings test affects elderly
labor supply at all. In this paper, we examine new and
reconsider existing empirical evidence on the earnings test
and conclude that, at least for men, the earnings test has a
substantial impact on labor supply and claiming behavior.

The authors examined relationships between psychiatric
disorder and perceived general health and physical

non-Hispanic whites and Mexican-Americans in Los
Angeles. Persons with recent psychiatric disorders
perceived their general health as poorer and had more
limitations in physical functioning than persons without
such disorders, even when the analyses controlled for
chronic medical conditions and demographic factors.
Affective and anxiety disorders were independently
associated with both acute and chronic limitations in
physical functioning. The associations of recent
psychiatric disorder and of chronic medical condition with
acute activity restrictions were similar in magnitude.

US Military Doctrine and
Counterinsurgency. W. Rosenau.
Unlike bombings, bioterrorism can be invisible,
unapparent until people become ill, spreading silently as
infected people interact with others. The sooner public
health officials know about a bioterrorist attack, the more
effective their response can be. In this article, the authors
discuss the feasibility of using syndromic surveillance as
an early warning system of bioterrorism. Syndromic
surveillance involves the statistical analyses of data on
individuals seeking care in emergency rooms or other
health care settings for early symptoms of bioterrorist
agents. The authors discuss results of a simple simulation
they conducted using data from the emergency department
at the George Washington University Hospital in
Washington, D.C., to simulate a bioterrorist attack and
examined how four different detection algorithms
performed. They then discuss how performance can be
improved and the challenges of integrating syndromic
surveillance into public health systems. The authors
conclude that the benefits of syndromic surveillance have
not yet been established, and they caution city and state
health departments about investing in costly syndromic
surveillance systems until more research is done to
improve their sensitivity. They add, however, that the
potential of syndromic surveillance might be greater for
monitoring naturally occurring diseases (such as the start
of the flu season, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.) than
for bioterrorism, and that this potential may make it worth
the effort. Published in Chance, v. 17, no. 1, 2004, p.

Will Public Health's Response to
Terrorism Be Fair? Racial/Ethnic Variations in Perceived
Fairness During a Bioterrorist Event. D. P. Eisenman, C.
Wold, C. Setodji, S. Hickey, B. Lee, B. D. Stein, A. Long.
OBJECTIVES: Public health departments' effectiveness
during catastrophic bioterrorism will require trust on the
part of diverse communities. This study describes
variations in perceptions that the public health system will
respond fairly to one's needs in a bioterrorist event,
regardless of race/ethnicity, income, or other
characteristics. METHODS: Using the Los Angeles
County Health Survey, a random-digit, population-based,
telephone survey, the authors conducted multivariate
logistic regression of race/ethnicity on perceived fairness,
adjusting for demographic factors and perceived
neighborhood safety. They performed similar analyses
stratified by race/ethnicity subgroup. RESULTS: Overall,
72.7% of respondents perceived that the public health
system will respond fairly in a bioterrorist event. African
Americans (AA) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (API)
209
reported the lowest perceived fairness (AA 63.0%, API
68.2%, Latino 73.1%, White 76.6%, p < 0.005 for group
differences). Adjusting for demographic factors and
neighborhood safety, African Americans had lower
perceived fairness compared to whites (adjusted odds
ratio, aOR 0.45; 95% confidence intervals, CI 0.26–0.79; p
< 0.005). Other factors associated with lower perceived
fairness included Asian-language compared to Englishlanguage interview (aOR 0.29; 95% CI 0.11-0.76; p <
0.05) and lower compared to higher neighborhood safety
(aOR 0.48; 95% CI 0.31-0.74; p < 0.005). Among African
Americans, participants aged 18-29 years were less likely
to report perceived fairness (aOR 0.06; 95% CI 0.01-0.59)
compared to participants older than 60 years of age.
Among Asian/Pacific Islanders, Asian-language interview
(aOR 0.07; 95% CI 0.01-0.48) and lower perceived
neighborhood safety (aOR 0.01; 95% CI < 0.01-0.13) were
associated with perceived fairness. CONCLUSIONS: To
strengthen bioterrorism preparedness, public health
officials must continue to improve perceived fairness
among African American and Asian/Pacific Islander
communities. Published in Biosecurity and Bioterrorism:

A Bitter Pill to Swallow:
Nonadherence with Prophylactic Antibiotics During the
Anthrax Attacks and the Role of Private Physicians. B. D.
Stein, T. L. Tanielian, G. W. Ryan, H. J. Rhodes, S. D.
Young, J. C. Blanchard.
To generate recommendations for improving adherence to
public health advice during public health crises, the
authors conducted semi-structured interviews with
employees at the Brentwood Road Postal Facility and on
Capitol Hill to identify key themes associated with
decisions to adhere to recommended antibiotic prophylaxis
during the 2001 anthrax attacks. Factors used in deciding
to adhere to recommended prophylactic antibiotics and
concerns about the official response were similar in
Brentwood and Capitol Hill employees, and in adherent
and nonadherent participants. All participants used
multiple sources of information and support as they
weighed the risk from anthrax against the advantages and
disadvantages of antibiotics. The authors found that
nonadherent participants were commonly following the
advice of private physicians, whereas adherent participants
commonly described ongoing support from multiple
sources when discussing their decisions. Our findings
highlight the need for better integration between the public
and private health care systems during public health crises
and the importance of equipping private physicians for
their key role in aiding decision-making during a public
health crisis. Special attention also should be given to
enhancing support and information from multiple sources
throughout the entire period of risk. Published in

Diversity of Model Approaches for
Breast Cancer Screening:
A Review of Model
Assumptions by the Cancer Intervention Surveillance
Network (CISNET) Breast Cancer Groups. R. Boer, S.
Plevritis, L. Clarke.
The National Cancer Institute-sponsored Cancer
Intervention and Surveillance Network program on breast
cancer is composed of seven research groups working
largely independently to model the impact of screening
and adjuvant therapy on breast cancer mortality trends in
the US from 1975 to 2000. Each of the groups has chosen
a different modeling methodology without purposeful
attempt to be in contrast with each other. The seven groups
have met biannually since November 2000 to discuss their
methodology and results. This article investigates the
differences in methodology. To facilitate this comparison,
each of the groups submitted a description of their model
into a uniformly structured web based 'model profiler'. Six
of the seven models simulate a preclinical natural history
that cannot be observed directly with parameters estimated
from published evidence concerning screening and therapy
effects. The remaining model regards published evidence
on intervention effects as prior information and updates
that with information from the US population in a
Bayesian type analysis. In general, the differences between
the models appear to be small, particularly among the
models driven by natural history assumptions. However,
we demonstrate that such apparently small differences can
have a large impact on surveillance of population trends.
The authors describe a systematic approach to evaluating
210
differences in model assumptions and results, as well as
differences in modeling culture underlying the differences
in model structure and parameters. Published in Statistical

Bhattacharya, D. P. Goldman.
This paper investigates trends in disability in the U.S.
population, particularly among people under age fifty.
Even as the elderly have become less disabled, reported
disability has risen for younger Americans, especially
those ages 30–49. The authors suggest some possible
explanations for rising disability levels, such as obesity,
technological advances in medicine, and changing
disability insurance laws. Obesity and its attendant
disorders seem particularly associated with these trends,
although the data are not definitive. Whatever its sources,
rising disability among the young could have adverse
consequences for public programs such as disability
insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Published in Health

The Changing Face of Pharmacy
Benefit Design: A Small Group of Pharmacy Benefit
Experts Suggests That Changes Could Be Coming for
Tiered Copayment Designs. J. D. Malkin, D. P. Goldman,
G. Joyce.
Employers, health plans, and pharmacy benefit
managers—seeking to reduce rapid growth in pharmacy
spending—have embraced multi-tier pharmacy benefit
packages that use differential copayments to steer
beneficiaries toward low-cost drugs. The consensus of
fifteen pharmacy benefit design experts whom the authors
interviewed is that such plans will become more prevalent
and that the techniques these plans use to promote lowcost drugs will intensify. The effect on health outcomes
depends on whether the high-cost drugs whose use is
being discouraged have close, low-cost substitutes.

Reorganizing the National Institutes
of Health: A Review of an Important National Research
Council-Institute of Medicine Report to Revitalize the
NIH. R. A. Rettig.
A committee of the National Research Council and the
Institute of Medicine recently released a report on
reorganizing the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This
report responds to a request by Congress in connection
with the fiscal year 2001 budget for the NIH. The report
contains some pragmatic proposals, avoids postulating an
ideal NIH but does propose a radical new "special
programs office" that would function as does the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency, and advocates that
clinical research be strengthened. Published in Health
Affairs, v. 23, no. 1, Jan./Feb. 2004, p. 257–262.

Patterns of Medical Resource and
Psychotropic Medicine Use Among Adult Depressed
Managed Behavioral Health Patients. F. Azocar, L. M.
McCarter, B. J. Cuffel, T. W. Croghan.
Medical and pharmacy utilization patterns were examined
among 782 depressed patients seen by independent
clinicians through a Managed Behavioral Health
Organization using behavioral, medical and pharmacy
claims spanning two years. Two-thirds received
psychiatric care in the medical and mental health sector
concurrently, 43% had comorbid medical disorders, 61%
received psychotropic medications, and 54% were on
antidepressants. Fewer depressed medically comorbid
patients used medical services while in mental health
treatment than before or after treatment, while the per
patient costs remained the same. For those with chronic
conditions, medical utilization and costs remained the
same. A quarter of depressed patients received mental
health treatment before seeing a mental health specialist,
and a quarter remained in treatment in the medical sector
after treatment in the mental health sector. Despite
increases in mental health services access made available
through managed behavioral health organizations, patients
continue receiving mental health treatment in the medical
sector. Published in Journal of Behavioral Health Services

Indirect Vs Direct Hospital Quality
Indicators for Very Low-Birth Weight Infants. J. A.
Rogowski, J. D. Horbar, D. O. Staiger, M. Kenny, J. H.
Carpenter, J. Geppert.
CONTEXT: Evidence-based selective referral strategies
are being used by an increasing number of insurers to
ensure that medical care is provided by high-quality
providers. In the absence of direct-quality measures based
on patient outcomes, the standards currently in place for
many conditions rely on indirect-quality measures such as
patient volume. OBJECTIVES: To assess the potential
usefulness of volume as a quality indicator for very lowbirth-weight (VLBW) infants and compare volume with
other potential indicators based on readily available
211
hospital characteristics and patient outcomes. DESIGN,
SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A retrospective study
of 94 110 VLBW infants weighing 501 to 1500 g born in
332 Vermont Oxford Network hospitals with neonatal
intensive care units between January 1, 1995, and
December 31, 2000. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Mortality among VLBW infants prior to discharge home;
detailed case-mix adjustment was performed by using
patient characteristics available immediately after birth.
RESULTS: In hospitals with less than 50 annual
admissions of VLBW infants, an additional 10 admissions
were associated with an 11% reduction in mortality (95%
confidence interval CI 5%-16%; P < .001). The annual
volume of admissions only explained 9% of the variation
across hospitals in mortality rates, and other readily
available hospital characteristics explained an additional
7%. Historical volume was not significantly related to
mortality rates in 1999–2000, implying that volume cannot
prospectively identify high-quality providers. In contrast,
hospitals in the lowest mortality quintile between 1995
and 1998 were found to have significantly lower mortality
rates in 1999-2000 (odds ratio OR 0.64; 95% CI, 0.550.76; P < .001) and hospitals in the highest mortality
quintile between 1995 and 1998 had significantly higher
mortality rates in 1999-2000 (OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.161.64; P < .001). The percentage of hospital-level variation
in mortality in 1999-2000 that was forecasted by the
highest and lowest quintiles based on patient mortality was
34% compared with only 1% for the highest and lowest
quintiles of volume. CONCLUSIONS: Referral of VLBW
infants based on indirect-quality indicators such as patient
volume may be minimally effective. Direct measures
based on patient outcomes are more useful quality
indicators for the purposes of selective referral, as they are
better predictors of future mortality rates among providers
and could save more lives. Published in Journal of the

Human Factors Barriers to the
Effective Use of Ten HIV Clinical Reminders. E. S.
Patterson, A. D. Nguyen, J. P. Halloran, S. M. Asch.
OBJECTIVE: Substantial variations in adherence to
guidelines for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care
have been documented. To evaluate their effectiveness in
improving quality of care, ten computerized clinical
reminders (CRs) were implemented at two pilot and eight
study sites. The aim of this study was to identify human
factors barriers to the use of these CRs. DESIGN:
Observational study was conducted of CRs in use at eight
outpatient clinics for one day each and semistructured
interviews were conducted with physicians, pharmacists,
nurses, and case managers. MEASUREMENTS: Detailed
handwritten field notes of interpretations and actions using
the CRs and responses to interview questions were used
for measurement. RESULTS: Barriers present at more
than one site were (1) workload during patient visits (8 of
8 sites), (2) time to document when a CR was not
clinically relevant (8 of 8 sites), (3) inapplicability of the
CR due to context-specific reasons (9 of 26 patients), (4)
limited training on how to use the CR software for rotating
staff (5 of 8 sites) and permanent staff (3 of 8 sites), (5)
perceived reduction of quality of provider-patient
interaction (3 of 23 permanent staff), and (6) the decision
to use paper forms to enable review of resident physician
orders prior to order entry (2 of 8 sites). CONCLUSION:
Six human factors barriers to the use of HIV CRs were
identified. Reducing these barriers has the potential to
increase use of the CRs and thereby improve the quality of
HIV care. Published in Journal of the American Medical
Informatics Association, v. 11, no. 1, Jan./Feb. 2004, p.

A Conceptual Framework for
Evaluating Outpatient Electronic Prescribing Systems
Based on Their Functional Capabilities. D. S. Bell, S.
Cretin, R. Marken, A. B. Landman.
OBJECTIVE: Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) may
substantially improve health care quality and efficiency,
but the available systems are complex and their
heterogeneity makes comparing and evaluating them a
challenge. The authors aimed to develop a conceptual
framework for anticipating the effects of alternative
designs for outpatient e-prescribing systems. DESIGN:
Based on a literature review and on telephone interviews
with e-prescribing vendors, the authors identified distinct
e-prescribing functional capabilities and developed a
conceptual framework for evaluating e-prescribing
systems' potential effects based on their capabilities.
Analyses of two commercial e-prescribing systems are
presented as examples of applying the conceptual
framework. MEASUREMENTS: Major e-prescribing
functional capabilities identified and the availability of
evidence to support their specific effects. RESULTS: The
proposed framework for evaluating e-prescribing systems
is organized using a process model of medication
management. Fourteen e-prescribing functional
capabilities are identified within the model. Evidence is
identified to support eight specific effects for six of the
functional capabilities. The evidence also shows that a
functional capability with generally positive effects can be
implemented in a way that creates unintended hazards.
Applying the framework involves identifying an eprescribing system's functional capabilities within the
process model and then assessing the effects that could be
expected from each capability in the proposed clinical
environment. CONCLUSION: The proposed conceptual
framework supports the integration of available evidence
in considering the full range of effects from e-prescribing
design alternatives. More research is needed into the
212
effects of specific e-prescribing functional alternatives.
Until more is known, e-prescribing initiatives should
include provisions to monitor for unintended hazards.

Childhood Overweight and
Academic Performance: National Study of Kindergartners
and First-Graders. A. Datar, R. Sturm, J. L. Magnabosco.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between
children's overweight status in kindergarten and their
academic achievement in kindergarten and first grade.
RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: The data
analyzed consisted of 11,192 first time kindergartners
from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, a nationally
representative sample of kindergartners in the U.S. in
1998. Multivariate regression techniques were used to
estimate the independent association of overweight status
with children's math and reading standardized test scores
in kindergarten and grade 1. The authors controlled for
socioeconomic status, parent-child interaction, birth
weight, physical activity, and television watching.
RESULTS: Overweight children had significantly lower
math and reading test scores compared with
nonoverweight children in kindergarten. Both groups were
gaining similarly on math and reading test scores, resulting
in significantly lower test scores among overweight
children at the end of grade 1. However, these differences,
except for boys' math scores at baseline (difference = 1.22
points, p = 0.001), became insignificant after including
socioeconomic and behavioral variables, indicating that
overweight is a marker but not a causal factor.
Race/ethnicity and mother's education were stronger
predictors of test score gains or levels than overweight
status. DISCUSSION: Significant differences in test
scores by overweight status at the beginning of
kindergarten and the end of grade 1 can be explained by
other individual characteristics, including parental
education and the home environment. However,
overweight is more easily observable by other students
compared with socioeconomic characteristics, and its
significant (unadjusted) association with worse academic
performance can contribute to the stigma of overweight as
early as the first years of elementary school. Published in
Obesity Research, v. 12, no. 1, Jan. 2004, p. 58–68.
