The Newspaper & Current Periodical Reading Room is hosting a participatory research event with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum for their History Unfolded project. In mid-May 1944, the Hungarian authorities, in coordination with the German Security Police, began systematically to deport Hungarian Jews. Help us learn how the United States press reported on these deportations by researching microfilmed newspapers from across America.

Researchers from EDI Group and Mathematica discuss the added value of qualitative methods and spotlight how a mixed-method approach is providing important insights about how well reading and community engagement programs are serving young children and their parents in Nicaragua.

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.

With their multi-faceted understanding of the communities in which they operate, community-based organizations bring a valuable lens that could help health systems learn how certain social services received in the community affect health, and how other factors may dampen an intervention’s effect.

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.

The topic of exclusionary discipline is not only of professional interest to me—it’s personal. Helping my son navigate the middle grades was taxing. He attended a school that suspended him for defending himself when a classmate broke his iPad and then punched him during recess to instigate a fight.

In this week’s episode of On the Evidence, Genna Cohen and Llew Brown, who research and work with electronic health records (EHRs) at Mathematica, discuss challenges in adopting EHRs as well as what to do about them.

Paul Messino offers insights on challenges states face as they implement health payment and delivery system reforms and the ways that Mathematica applies methods expertise, deep policy knowledge, and understanding of state contexts to help navigate to better outcomes.

In this episode of On the Evidence, University of Rhode Island's Annette Bourbonniere, Webility Corporation's Jennifer Christian, and Mathematica's Yonatan Ben-Shalom discuss research on workers who miss work because of an injury or illness and how to help them remain in the labor force.

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.

In the 21st century, the civic purpose of public education is often overlooked in debates that tend to focus on education’s economic effects. But the civic purpose is arguably more important than it has ever been.

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.

Principals and assistant principals play a key role in improving student outcomes, but assessing leaders’ effectiveness is hard and finding the right measure takes time. School leaders influence students in complex and indirect ways, making it difficult to measure these effects.

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.

Across the United States and around the world, in-person survey data collection has been halted to protect against COVID-19 spread; now what?

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.

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.

While many of us try to cope with the immediate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and process the trauma, anxiety, and global loss, recent research might help guide the way forward.

It is interesting that Nanda tried his hands over multiple businesses but in his lifetime realised the need to focus on the core, which is, tractor beside construction and railway equipment
