NICHD - Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development

Project Summary This project aims to harmonize and share data about immigrants who are without permanent residence (IWPR). Few national surveys include questionnaire items on immigrants’ permanent residence, and when available, these surveys are often met with skepticism due to their questionable validity. And while some organizations use indirect demographic methods to produce estimates of IWPR sub-populations, it is difficult for researchers to obtain information about detailed groups of interest. This is an important shortcoming given that the IWPR population makes up one-third of all adults and children born abroad. In addition, nearly 80 percent of children of the IWPR population are U.S.-born citizens. In this project we harmonize data across existing data sets (American Community Survey, Department of Homeland Security admission data, and demographic estimates of mortality, emigration, and ACS survey coverage rates) that together provide a detailed demographic estimates and projections of the IWPR population and its children. We will deposit the harmonized data and documentation in Data Sharing for Demographic Research archive (DSDR). Specifically, the project has three aims. First, it will harmonize data in order to produce detailed estimates of the size of the IWPR population and its children ages 0-17. These estimates will be produced by harmonizing and layering pre-existing public data and using long-standing residual methods based on an innovative, transparent, peer-reviewed methodology. The estimates will be available by year, age, sex, year of arrival, age at arrival, duration of U.S. residence, and visa classification. The project will also produce estimates of the population’s dynamics, such as annual in-flows, out-flows, and net growth. Second, the project will project the IWPR population and its children 10 years into the future under various scenarios. These scenarios will vary both demographic conditions (e.g., high versus low levels of inflows) and potential program changes (e.g., eligibility rules for SNAP). Third, the project will deposit the data from Aims 1 and 2 into DSDR for dissemination to researchers, along with accessible and comprehensive documentation. The confidentiality of human subjects will be protected by collapsing these data and providing all data at the national level. Understanding the changing size and characteristics of the IWPR population is important to assess this group’s public health and services delivery needs, especially given they comprise nearly one-third of the adult and child population born abroad generally. Compared with other individuals born abroad, IWPR individuals and their children have high rates of poverty and food insecurity, and they also have low access to health care and health insurance. By providing accessible data on the IWPR population and its children, this project can help planners, service providers, and researchers better evaluate child health and well-being.

Significance to VA: Identifying and assisting Veterans with unmet social needs, like food insecurity and housing instability, is critical to achieve health equity. Recognizing its importance, the Joint Commission recently listed assessment of patients’ social needs and provision of information about resources and support services as a National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG.16.01.01). Effective efforts to assess and assist Veterans with unmet social needs largely do not exist in many VHA clinics. Only a fraction of Veterans experiencing food and/or housing insecurity are being identified. Additionally, Veterans who are identified and provided with a list of resources still struggle to connect with services. A potential solution could exist with nurses. Nurses comprise the largest healthcare workforce in the VA and could be a major force multiplier in reducing gaps in service and care with respect to identifying and assisting Veterans with unmet needs. The proposed study aligns with the updated VA HSR research priorities by: (1) contributing to efforts to address health disparities through development of an intervention to identify and assist Veterans with unmet social needs, (2) employing engagement science, a HSR foundational learning health systems method, through application of human- centered design, (3) engaging Veterans and frontline primary care staff to facilitate study design and intervention development, and (4) responding to the need for research on nursing workforce and practice, specifically the role of nursing to address social drivers of health to improve health equity. Innovation and Impact The proposed research will use human-centered design to empower frontline primary care staff, including nurses- who have been largely overlooked in research- and Veterans to co-design clinical application of pathways to identify and assist Veterans with unmet social needs. Specific Aims are to: 1. Discover the current state of how Veterans with unmet social needs are identified and assisted in VA primary care settings. 2. Co-design and test an intervention to identify and assist Veterans with unmet social needs. Methodology: Aim 1 will use a combination of methods including direct field observations (n=30) of current clinical care as it related to identifying and assisting Veterans with unmet social needs across three primary care clinics. We will also interview Veterans (n=30) whose clinical care we observe to learn their experiences. We will then survey all primary care staff affiliated with the Houston VA and interview 30 to 45 frontline primary care staff (i.e., RNs, LVNs, and MSAs) to learn what supports and hinders their ability to identify and assist Veterans with unmet social needs. In Aim 2, a design team of Veterans (n=6) and primary care staff (n=10-15) will co-design an intervention to identify and assist Veterans with unmet social needs. The co-designed intervention will include education and workflow processes. We will then pilot the intervention at two primary care clinics sequentially to allow for rapid refinement using feedback from focus groups (n=2 per site) with primary care staff/providers and interviews with Veterans (n=15 per site). Path to Translation/Implementation: Products from this research will be shared with the VHA Offices of Health Equity, Nursing Services, and Food Security. Post pilot, the intervention will continue process improvements with operational partners via quality improvement / quality assessment projects. Simultaneously, the research team will prepare for a larger pragmatic trial to evaluate the intervention for effectiveness in identifying and assisting Veterans with unmet social needs in effort to ultimately reduce health inequities.

Administration for Community Living

<p>This grant is funded under the Projects of National Significance (PNS) authorized by the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. Its purpose is to increase awareness, access, and use of ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts so that individuals with disabilities have the resources needed to better support their health and economic well-being and improve their economic security and mobility. Since 2015, the ABLE Act has authorized states and territories to establish tax-advantaged programs—ABLE accounts—that allow individuals with disabilities to save and invest money. These accounts may be used for qualified disability expenses, including education, food, housing, transportation, employment training, assistive technology, and health care. Beginning in January 2026, ABLE eligibility requirements were expanded to include individuals with an age of disability onset up to 46, increased from the previous limit of 26. As a result, an estimated 14 million people will be eligible for ABLE accounts, including approximately 1.2 million veterans. This expansion presents a significant opportunity to broaden outreach to individuals receiving Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), as well as individuals with disabilities who are not enrolled in disability benefit programs, to help overcome barriers to achieving good health and meaningful employment. To advance these goals, the grant will support strategies such as coordinated marketing efforts at the national, state, and community levels; population-specific approaches implemented through partnerships with ACL grantees and community stakeholders; and a strengthened systems approach at the state level. ACL recognizes that ABLE-related supports can play a critical role in increasing economic security and mobility for individuals with disabilities.</p>

NIMH - National Institute of Mental Health

PROJECT SUMMARY Over 930 million people worldwide are estimated to be living in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS) – characterized by recurrent violence, conflict, or war – and experiencing food insecurity and mental distress. The detrimental effects of violent political events on food insecurity, and separately, on mental health are well documented. However, the impact of non-violent political events on food insecurity in FCAS is lesser explored. Furthermore, little is known about the differential cumulative impact of repeated political events – ranging from violent events (e.g., military assaults) to less extreme non-violent events (e.g., agreements) – on the relationship between food insecurity and mental health in FCAS. Quantifying the cumulative impact and capturing the intensity and severity of violent and non-violent political events is especially important in the context of protracted FCAS, where individuals endure prolonged exposure to violent and non-violent events, and stressors, such as food deprivation and insecurity, are likely to accumulate through time and impact mental health outcomes. We will leverage a longitudinal, geo-location political events dataset and three waves of repeated cross- sectional, representative household and corresponding individual survey datasets from a protracted conflict- affected setting, the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt); together, these data are uniquely positioned to permit examination of the relationships between political events, food insecurity, and mental health, and their intervening pathways. We reason that each discrete political event may function as a stressor and contribute to feelings of insecurity (across varying needs and including food) and mental distress. We expect that repeated occurrences of even non-violent, low extremity political events (e.g., establishing a political headquarter) each year can add up and exert its cumulative impact on food diversity, food insecurity experience, and on mental distress in a FCAS. Understanding the cumulative impact of violent and non-violent political events on food insecurity, incorporating individual behavioral changes and coping mechanisms, and mental health, will inform evidence- based interventions in FCAS. The evidence can allow for rapid response and improve the efficacy of humanitarian interventions during time of crises. This information is especially important given the recent increase in conflict and political events worldwide.
