In 2009 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) began to assess the need
for better-defined medical and public health crisis standards of
care (CSC) for catastrophic disasters and public health
emergencies. Over the next 10 years, the IOM defined templates for
those stakeholders responsible for integrated CSC planning and
implementation; created a tool kit with guidance on indicators and
triggers; provided a discussion kit for stakeholders to use with
their own communities to establish appropriate indicators and
triggers to guide their planning; disseminated the messages and key
concepts of CSC; and built on the initial efforts to refine certain
elements and address remaining gaps. This current Proceedings of a
Workshop captures the discussions from a 2019 workshop reviewing
the successes and gaps over the last 10 years of CSC work, in order
to inform the next phases of planning and implementation. Table of

With rapidly rising rates of mental health disorders, changing
patterns of occurrence, and increasing levels of morbidity, the
need for a better understanding of the developmental origins and
influence of mental health on children?s behavioral health outcomes
has become critical. This need for better understanding extends to
both the growing prevalence of mental health disorders as well as
the role and impact of neurodevelopmental pathways in their onset
and expression. Addressing these changes in disease patterns and
effects on children and families will require a multifaceted
approach that goes beyond simply making changes to clinical care or
adding personnel to the health services system. New policies,
financing, and implementation can put established best practices
and numerous research findings from around the country into action.
The Maternal and Child Health Life Course Intervention Research
Network and the Forum for Children's Well-Being at the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine jointly organized
a webinar series to explore how mental health disorders develop
over the life course, with a special emphasis on prenatal, early,
middle, and later childhood development. This series centered on
identifying gaps in our knowledge, exploring possible new
strategies for using existing data to enhance understanding of the
developmental origins of mental disorders, reviewing potential
approaches to prevention and optimization, and proposing new ways
of framing how to understand, address, and prevent these disorders
from a life course development perspective. This publication
summarizes the presentations and discussions from the series. Table

To take stock of lessons learned from COVID-19 around the world and
in the United States, the Forum on Microbial Threats held two
virtual workshops during 2021. The first workshop focused on what
it means to frame the response to COVID-19 through a "syndemic"
approach, and what the implications would be for global recovery.
The second workshop focused more broadly on key lessons and
emerging data from ongoing pandemic response efforts that can be
incorporated into current health systems to improve resilience and
preparedness for future outbreaks. This workshop explored the
long-term effects of COVID-19 on health equity, including
considerations for mental health and social determinants of health.
It also addressed uncertainties during a pandemic, such as trust,
communication, and engagement and explored approaches to
systematize recovery efforts to improve the ongoing responses and
prepare for the next pandemic. Experts discussed possibilities for
a post-pandemic world and a response strategy for stakeholders that
ensures sustained community partnerships and prioritization of
health equity. This Proceedings of a Workshop summarizes the
presentations and discussions from the second workshop. Table of

Adolescence is a crucial period of life for the prevention of
substance use disorders. Research has shown that early intervention
can significantly reduce rates of substance use disorder in
adulthood. To learn more about effective family-focused
interventions in primary care settings for preventing substance use
disorder, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and
Medicine hosted a workshop on May 5-6, 2022. The proceedings from
that workshop explores existing efforts to incorporate
family-focused interventions into state health care policies. It
also examines barriers to implementing such interventions as well
as lessons learned from successful efforts to scale up these
interventions. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2

Crisis Standards of Care (CSC) inform decisions on medical care
during a large-scale crisis such as a pandemic or natural disaster,
eliminating the need to make these decisions at the bedside without
protections or guidance. Numerous points throughout the COVID-19
pandemic have demonstrated the necessity of this type of crisis
planning. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and
Medicine Forum on Medical and Public Health Preparedness for
Disasters and Emergencies convened a series of public workshops to
examine the experiences of healthcare providers during the COVID-19
pandemic and identify lessons that can inform current and future
CSC planning and implementation. The workshops examined staffing
and workforce needs, planning and implementation of CSC plans, and
legal, ethical, and equity considerations of CSC planning. Topics
of discussion included improving coordination between the bedside
and boardroom, increasing buy-in from elected officials, expanding
provider engagement, and addressing health equity issues. This
publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the
workshops. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2

While the world continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic,
novel influenza viruses persist as a constant pandemic threat. The
global response to COVID-19 has pushed the boundaries on what is
possible for rapid pandemic response in several areas, including
vaccine research, development, manufacturing, equitable
distribution, allocation, and administration. If well understood
and sufficiently adapted, these actions could be applied to future
pandemic and seasonal influenza vaccine preparedness efforts.
However, developing and delivering these more effective vaccines to
meet the demand goes beyond simply technical challenges and
includes issues across governance, financing, research, supply
chain, and public engagement. To address these challenges, the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened
a virtual public workshop in May of 2021 to discuss the emerging
evidence on unprecedented actions related to COVID-19 that could
inform and advance pandemic and seasonal influenza vaccine
preparedness efforts and subsequent response. This Proceedings of a
Workshop provides a high-level summary of the presentations and
discussions that occurred during the workshop. Table of Contents

Transplantation of a solid organ, such as a kidney, heart, or
liver, is a lifesaving procedure and is sometimes the only viable
treatment for patients experiencing end-stage organ failure as a
result of illness or injury. A growing prevalence of solid organ
diseases in the United States is contributing to more people
needing a transplant and longer wait times on the national
transplant waiting list. While transplantation can lengthen a
person's life, the road to recovery is difficult and complex.
Transplant recipients commonly experience considerable impairments
related to health factors, medication side effects, organ
rejection, or other setbacks that can cause functional limitations.
A spectrum of services and supports can be beneficial to patient
functioning and quality of life, but patient access is variable due
to individual, system, and social factors. To gain an understanding
of current scientific findings in the field of solid organ
transplantation, the U.S. Social Security Administration asked the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Board
on Health Care Services to organize a virtual public workshop to
examine disability associated with organ transplantation. The
workshop, held March 22-23, 2021, focused on kidney, heart, liver,
and lung transplantation, and to a lesser extent intestine
transplantation. Subject-matter experts presented on clinical
aspects of post-transplantation recovery and described the
implications for physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning
in adults and children. This publication summarizes the
presentations and panel discussions from the workshop. Table of

Adolescence is a dynamic time for both brain development and social
pressures, making it a critical period to understand mental,
emotional, and behavioral health, yet it is often overlooked in
terms of policies and service interventions, which makes many young
people feel unheard when communicating their own challenges. To
explore best practices in providing and supporting adolescent
health services and key messaging and communication strategies
related to the mental, emotional, and behavioral health of
adolescents, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and
Medicine's Forum for Children's Well-Being held a workshop on May
5, 2020. The workshop featured a panel of youth representatives who
shared their own experiences related to mental, emotional, and
behavioral health. This publication summarizes the presentation and
discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1

As part of the overall disability determination process, the Social
Security Administration uses a step-by-step approach to understand
how severe an individual's condition is and whether it meets
program criteria for disability. The use of various types of
biomarkers has been suggested as a way to strengthen the amount and
quality of objective evidence available to the review process. At
the request of the Social Security Administration, the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Board on Health
Care Services organized a virtual workshop on July 21, 2020, titled
The State of the Science of the Use of Biomarkers to Establish the
Presence and Severity of Impairments. Workshop discussions focused
on the current and potential uses for biomarkers; explored legal
and ethical implications associated with biomarker use in clinical
decision making; and considered the possible uses of nongenetic
biomarkers as tools for the diagnosis or prognosis of the severity
of specific physical and mental impairments. This publication
summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop. Table

COVID-19 has proven among the worst public health crises in a
generation. Public health emergencies (PHE) have always been
anticipated. Despite the growing field of PHE preparedness and
planning since the turn of the twenty-first century and the
preparedness plans and exercises developed, the U.S. experienced a
suboptimal national response to the emergence of COVID-19 in early
2020 compared to other countries. To explore the U.S. PHE
preparedness enterprise, the National Academies Forum on Medical
and Public Health Preparedness for Disasters and Emergencies
convened a workshop in May 2022. They invited participants from
government, NGO, and private sector organizations to consider key
components, success stories, and failure points in order to
identify opportunities for more effective catastrophic disaster,
pandemic, and other large scale PHEs planning at the federal,
state, local, tribal, and territorial levels. This Proceedings of a
Workshop summarizes the discussions held during the workshop. Table
