Evaluating the performance of school principals can be challenging. As we noted in previous posts, principals’ roles are complex and multi-faceted.

In this week’s episode of On the Evidence, Mathematica’s Beth Weigensberg talks about an article she co-authored describing findings from a 2013 needs assessment on the challenges state agencies faced in using their data to inform their programs.

In this episode of On the Evidence, Cindy Hu, a Mathematica data scientist, discusses the prevalence of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in our drinking water, as well as their health implications and ways to address them through public policy.

A strong economy requires a dynamic workforce that can adapt to the labor market’s demands. This often means workers will have schedules outside the traditional 9 to 5.

By using an enterprise risk management approach, state Medicaid agencies can meet new federal program integrity requirements, serve more clients, improve the quality of care, and contain costs.

This post describes how health care systems and providers have been—and can be—critical partners in collecting and acting on social determinants of health data.

On this episode of On the Evidence, we talk about a report that looks at the complicated relationships among nonstandard or changing work schedules, the availability of child care for those schedules, and child well-being. Our guests are Angela Rachidi and Russell Sykes, who coauthored the report.

Each day, millions of people between the ages of 16 and 24 don’t attend school or head to work. Instead, these young people—often called opportunity youth—face greater risk of social exclusion, poverty, and falling behind without the skills to improve their lives.

For this episode of On the Evidence, we spoke with the principal investigators for the project: Dave Jones, an associate director in the Health Unit at Mathematica, and Dave Frisvold, an associate professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Iowa.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do means thinking critically about what diversity means and taking important steps to create a Mathematica where everyone feels welcome and can cultivate a meaningful career.

Time will tell what improvements artificial intelligence, machine learning and predictive algorithms can bring to healthcare, and at what cost, but it is past time to tackle the bigger ethical considerations that loom large over the future of the industry.

On this episode of On the Evidence, economists Jennifer Doleac and Kosali Simon share lessons from their experiences interpreting and translating policy research for media interviews, Twitter, podcasts, and elsewhere.

Medicaid and CHIP quality improvement often focuses on the big picture, but to be confident that new efforts will lead to improvement, we also need quality measures that can be captured earlier.

We are living in unprecedented times. To reduce the spread of COVID-19, more than 130 countries have closed schools entirely, impacting 80 percent of the world’s student population.

On this episode of On the Evidence, three researchers discuss how they work with child welfare agencies in the United States to use algorithms—or, what they call predictive risk models—to inform decisions by case managers and their supervisors.

For this episode of On the Evidence, a principal and an education researcher share insights from research and the field on implementing culturally responsive practices.

Liah Caravalho, public affairs specialist, shares her experience working from home while parenting during the coronavirus pandemic.

The unfortunate truth about crises is that they tend to reveal longstanding problems that we chose to ignore—because we could, or at least thought we could.

The guest for this episode of On the Evidence is Ralanda Nelson, the new associate director for diversity at Mathematica.

For National Child Abuse Prevention Month, Mathematica researcher Debra Strong and Elaine Stedt, the director of the Office on Child Abuse Neglect, share how the Regional Partnership Grant program is improving the safety, permanency, and well-being of children affected by adults’ substance abuse.
