INTRODUCTION

RAND is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. It conductsstudies in the public interest supported by the United States government, by local and state governments, by privatefoundations, and by its own funds derived from earned fees. The work involves most of the major disciplines in the physi-cal, social, and biological sciences, with emphasis on their application to problems of policy and planning in domestic andforeign affairs.

The methods and findings of RAND research are reported chiefly in RAND’s publications. Many RAND studiesappear also as articles in professional, scholarly, and technical journals (published in our Reprint series), and as bookspublished by commercial publishers and university presses. Selected RAND Abstracts (SRA) is a complete guide tocurrent unclassified RAND publications.

The numbered publication series includes:

MR Monographs/ReportsP PapersWP White PapersIP Issue PapersCF Conference ProceedingsCT TestimonyDB Documented BriefingsRGSD DissertationsRP ReprintsRB Research BriefsDRU Drafts

The Monograph/Report is the principal publication documenting and transmitting RAND’s major researchfindings. Papers are a means by which individual members of the staff express their personal views on a variety ofunclassified subjects, for presentation or for publication in professional journals. White Papers are responses to a requestmade to RAND for information on a policy issue. Issue Papers explore topics of interest to the policymaking community,with the intent of stimulating discussion in a policy area. Conference Proceedings, Testimony, and Documented Briefingsreport on those events after the fact. Dissertations emanate from the RAND Graduate School. The Reprint seriesreproduces previously published journal articles and book chapters. Research Briefs are policy-oriented summaries ofpublished RAND research. Drafts are preliminary or prepublication versions of Monographs/Reports, ConferenceProceedings, journal articles, book chapters, or other documents

In addition to these numbered series, some RAND research is published in book form by commercial or academicpresses 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 and author 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 theabstract section.

Author Index. The entries under the authors’ names give the numbers and titles of their publications abstractedin this volume of SRA.

Title Index. Each title is followed by its document number.

ABSTRACT SECTION

Abstracts are arranged serially by publication number. A complete serial list of publications included in this volumeappears immediately preceding the subject index.

MR-581-AF Lean Logistics: High-Velocity LogisticsInfrastructure and the C-5 Galaxy. T. L. Ramey. 1999.

As part of a body of research defining and evaluating theconcept of Lean Logistics for the U.S. Air Force, thisreport considers the effects on operation of the C-5 Galaxyairlift aircraft of radically reducing the time required tomove and repair aircraft components. Lean Logisticsupdates Air Force logistics operations by applyingtechnology and management innovations that have proveneffective in the commercial world, are relevant to thecentral supply problems of the Air Force, and areaffordable. The analysis in this study used Air Force datato drive simulations of C-5 logistics operations andconsidered peacetime flying programs. This study foundthat a high-velocity infrastructure would provide C-5performance that is the same as or better than thatprovided by the current infrastructure across a wide rangeof conditions and circumstances. A high-velocityinfrastructure would require only one-sixth the amount ofinventory at one-third the cost of the current infrastructureto produce the same operational performance.

MR-775-OSD Command Concepts: A TheoryDerived from the Practice of Command and Control. C.H. Builder. 1999.

The qualities of commanders and their ideas are moreimportant to a general theory of command and control thanare the technical and architectural qualities of theircomputers and communications systems. This theoryseparates the art of command and control (C2) from thehardware and software systems that support C2. It centerson the idea of a command concept, a commander's visionof a military operation that informs the making ofcommand decisions during that operation. The theorysuggests that the essential communications up and downthe chain of command can (and should) be limited todisseminating, verifying, or modifying commandconcepts. The theory also suggests, as an extreme case,that an ideal command concept is one that is so prescient,sound, and fully conveyed to subordinates that it wouldallow the commander to leave the battlefield before thebattle commences, with no adverse effect upon the out-come. This report advances a theory about militarycommand and control. Then, through six historical casestudies of modern battles, it explores the implications ofthe theory both for the professional development ofcommanders and for the design and evaluation ofcommand and control architectures. The report should beof interest to members of the Joint Staff and the services

involved in developing command and control doctrine forthe U.S. military, and to all of those interested in the"military art and science" of command and control.

MR-847-OSD/A Recent Recruiting Trends and TheirImplications for Models of Enlistment Supply. M. P.Murray, L. L. McDonald. 1999.

The authors estimate an econometric model of high-quality enlistment supply using geographicallydisaggregated data from two periods, FY83–87 and FY90-93. They find that econometric models based on data fromthe earlier period do not predict the recruiting difficultiesreported by the military in the 1990s. This conforms to apreliminary assessment provided by Asch and Orvis (MR-549-A/OSD, 1994). The authors also find that econometricmodels estimated with the 1990s data give altered counselabout the effects of at least some policy variables, mostnotably the number of recruiters.

MR-895-AF The Changing Role of the U.S. Militaryin Space. D. Gonzales. 1999.

Growth in the technical capabilities of commercial andforeign space systems, potential exploitation of space byadversaries, increasing use of commercial spacecapabilities by U.S. forces, and continuing budgetconstraints are all changing the role of the U.S. military inspace. The growth of commercial space markets, and therapid privatization and increasing foreign ownership ofcommercial space assets, suggest that the Department ofDefense must develop a long-term strategy to ensureadequate and secure access to commercialcommunications satellites and other commercial spaceresources. Space control will assume increasingimportance in military operations, and space itself maybecome a theater of military operations. The United Statesshould develop a long-term strategy to enable the U.S.military to deny space capabilities to potential adversaries.Such a strategy should rely on system or operationalconcepts that minimize collateral damage to commercial,civil, and third-party space assets and that do not violateexisting arms control agreements or treaties. Spacesurveillance—the ability to precisely identify, track, andpredict the position of objects in space —is an essentialaspect of space control. Space control and changing spacesurveillance needs have implications for the Air Force asan institution.

Focuses on school-based drug prevention programs thathave proven effective in formal evaluations. Effectivenessat reducing cocaine consumption is inferred fromeffectiveness at reducing marijuana initiation, andspillover effects on those not participating in the programare accounted for. Given substantial uncertainties in allpertinent factors, the cost-effectiveness estimationframework is constructed to permit easy substitution ofalternate values at reader preference or as moreinformation becomes available. The authors conclude thatprevention can reduce lifetime cocaine consumption by 2to 11 percent. Although these effects are small, preventionprograms are inexpensive, so that the associated cost-effectiveness values bracket those of a range ofenforcement strategies. Treatment, however, appears morecost-effective than prevention. A nationwide drugprevention program would cost only a tiny fraction ofwhat the United States now spends on drug control, but itseffect on the cocaine-using population would be modestand slow to accumulate.

MR-928-A Training Requirements and TrainingDelivery in the Total Army School System. J. D. Winkler,J. Schank, M. G. Mattock, R. Madison, D. Green, J. C.Crowley, L. L. McDonald, P. Steinberg. 1999.

This report analyzes the Reserve Components schoolsystem's ability to meet training requirements fornoncommissioned officers (NCOs) and for soldiers whoare not duty-MOS qualified (DMOSQ), focusing on a"prototype" reorganized school system in its baseline andexecution years (fiscal years 1994 and 1995) andcomparing it to the system as a whole. In terms of trainingNCOs, requirements are large but decreasing and capacityis better able to meet demand; however, utilization of thatcapacity is inefficient and growing worse, leading to aslight decline in graduates. In terms of DMOSQ training,requirements are decreasing, capacity is increasing, andutilization is improved but still problematic, leading to anincrease in graduates. The prototype compares favorablyto the system as a whole in both of these areas. The reportrecommends increased management oversight and newpolicies to improve the utilization of training capacitythroughout the school system. It also recommends theinclusion of new personnel management policies to reducedemands on the training system; e.g., by offeringincentives to reduce voluntary job turnover and attritionamong DMOSQ soldiers, as much of this turbulence isshown to be driven by personnel, not force structure.

MR-929-A Microworld Simulations for Commandand Control Training of Theater Logistics and SupportStaffs: A Curriculum Strategy. J. R. Bondanella, M. W.Lewis, P. Steinberg, G. S. Park, D. G. Levy, E. Ettedgui,D. M. Oaks, J. M. Sollinger, J. D. Winkler, J. M. Halliday,S. Way-Smith. 1999.

This report discusses changes in training structure,content, and methods, with the focus on developingtraining for CSS staffs operating as staffs, not forindividual training. The focus is on large unit staffs: corpsand echelons above corps headquarters and supportcommands. The document discusses shortcomings of thecurrent approach to CSS staff training, and then proposes aprocess-oriented approach. It illustrates how microworldmodels can be used to train CSS processes. It then goes onto describe how pilot testing of prototype models indicatesthat this approach is feasible for large unit staffs. Itconcludes with a proposed training strategy that theauthors believe is more appropriate and useful for meetingthe challenges posed to the Army by personnel turbulence,split-based operations, increased reliance on information,and decreased training resources. The authors believe thisapproach has applications beyond the CSS trainingenvironment. They argue that the microworld models in acarefully designed training strategy are appropriate to anybusiness that needs to train staff under distributedconditions in uncertain environments and to avoid time-and resource-intensive costs of bringing staff together fora large game in a central location.

M R - 9 3 4 - A Improving the Army Planning,Programming, Budgeting, and Execution System(PPBES): The Programming Phase. L. Lewis, R. A.Brown, J. Schrader. 1999.

As part of a special assistance activity for the Director ofthe U.S. Army's Program Analysis and EvaluationDirectorate (PA&E), the Arroyo Center participated increating a new program development process andmethodology. The principal objective in this work was toimprove the Army's Program Objective Memorandum(POM) development process. The improvements weredesigned to (1) enhance the Army's ability to view thetotality of its resources, (2) improve its resource decisionprocess, and (3) justify those choices within the Army andto the external community, including the Office of theSecretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff, and the Congress.

MR-944-OSD/A Enlistment Decisions in the 1990s:Evidence from Individual-Level Data. M. R. Kilburn, J.A. Klerman. 1999.

This work updates previous estimates of individualenlistment models, investigating the relationship betweenfamily, individual, local labor market, and otherbackground characteristics and the decision to enlist. Thestudy makes three primary innovations to earlier models.First, it uses data from the early 1990s, while the mostrecent estimates were from the early 1980s. The datareport the enlistment behavior of a cohort of individualsfrom the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS)who were high school seniors in 1992. In general, the

Page 75: Selected RAND Abstracts - CiteSeerX

66

authors find that their coefficient estimates are similar tothose estimated by earlier models, while the mean levelsof the explanatory variables are more often significantlydifferent from those in earlier data. Second, the authorsexplore the utility of including some additional variablesin the model that are more relevant to the 1990s or werenot available in early data. These include measures ofimmigrant status, criminal behavior, drug use, in-statecollege tuition, and whether parents were in the military.The research finds that immigrant status, criminalbehavior, and having parents in the military are significantdeterminants of individual enlistment decisions. Third, theauthors estimate the individual enlistment decision as athree-choice decision-whether to enlist, enroll in college,or work after high school graduation-in contrast to earlierstudies, which modeled the enlistment decisions as a two-way choice of whether to enlist or not. The studyconcludes that the trivariate-choice model dominates thebivariate model because it produces more significantcoefficient estimates and yields more insights into thereasons that individuals enlist rather than choosingalternative activities.

MR-954-OSTP Handbook of Human Tissue Sources:A National Resource of Human Tissue Samples. E.Eiseman, S. B. Haga. 1999.

To date, no central database captures information aboutstored tissue samples. This handbook serves as a nationalresource, to bring together for the first time, in a singledocument, information about tissue storage in the UnitedStates. It provides information about several aspects ofstored tissue samples, such as how many samples exist inthe United States, where they are, who has access to them,and for what purposes they are used. A conservativeestimate from the tissue collections described in this bookis that more than 307 million specimens from more than178 million cases are stored in the United States,accumulating at a rate of more than 20 million per year.This handbook will be a valuable resource for researcherswho require tissue samples for studies in genetics, cancer,immunology, physiology, and cell biology, among manyother disciplines. In addition, it should be useful topolicymakers, physicians, and other professionals in fieldsrelated to health care.

MR-955-A The Total Army School System:Recommendations for Future Policy. J. D. Winkler, M. G.Shanley, J. Schank, J. C. Crowley, M. G. Mattock, R.Madison, L. L. McDonald, D. Green, P. Steinberg. 1999.

This report summarizes the Arroyo Center's analysis of theReserve Component (RC) school system and the prototypeover two fiscal years (1995 and 1996) in the areas oftraining requirements and school production, trainingresources and costs, and training quality. While the RCsystem continues to have large training requirements, its

ability to meet those requirements has grown; still, quotautilization continues to be a problem. Manpower resourcescontinue to dominate costs, reinforcing the need toimprove efficiency. Analysis shows that various strategiescan improve efficiency from 10 to 24 percent; in addition,while consolidating annual training sites can yieldefficiency, consolidating individual duty for training sitesdoes not. Courseware continues to be the paramounttraining quality issue and, while instructor qualification isnot a problem, finding enough qualified instructorscontinues to be.

MR-969/1-ICJ Class Action Dilemmas. ExecutiveSummary: Pursuing Public Goals for Private Gain. D. R.Hensler, B. Dombey-Moore, B. Giddens, J. Gross, E.Moller, N. M. Pace. 1999.

Class action lawsuits-allowing one or a few plaintiffs torepresent many who seek redress-have long beencontroversial. The current controversy, centered onlawsuits for money damages, is characterized by sharpdisagreement among stakeholders about the kinds of suitsbeing filed, whether plaintiffs' claims are meritorious, andwhether resolutions to class actions are fair or sociallydesirable. Ultimately, these concerns lead many towonder, "Are class actions worth their costs to society andto business? Do they do more harm than good?" Todescribe the landscape of current damage class actionlitigation, elucidate problems, and identify solutions, theRAND Institute for Civil Justice conducted a study usingqualitative and quantitative research methods. Theresearchers concluded that the controversy over damageclass actions has proven intractable because it implicatesdeeply held but sharply contested ideological views amongstakeholders. Nevertheless, many of the politicalantagonists agree that class action practices meritimprovement. The authors argue that both practices andoutcomes could be substantially improved if more judgeswould supervise class action litigation more actively andscrutinize proposed settlements and fee awards morecarefully. Educating and empowering judges to take moreresponsibility for case outcomes-and ensuring that theyhave the resources to do so-can help the civil justicesystem achieve a better balance between the public goalsof class actions and the private interests that drive them.

MR-984-OSD Attracting College-Bound Youth intothe Military: Toward the Development of New RecruitingPolicy Options. B. J. Asch, M. R. Kilburn, J. A. Klerman.1999.

Although the military's need for enlisted personnel hasdeclined by almost one-third since the end of the cold war,the armed services are finding it difficult to meet theirrecruiting goals. Among ongoing changes in the civilianlabor market is a strong demand for skilled labor, whichhas prompted an increasing number of "high quality"

67

youth to pursue post-secondary education and subsequentcivilian employment. Because of this competition for highquality youth, the Department of Defense may want toexplore new options for attracting desirable young peopleinto the armed forces. The military, for example, offers amyriad of options for service members to take collegecourses while in active service. However, the programs donot in fact generate significant increases in educationalattainment during time in service. One popular program,the Montgomery GI Bill, enrolls large numbers ofindividuals, but the vast majority of service members usetheir benefits after separating from service. Thus, themilitary does not receive the benefits of a more educatedand productive workforce, unless the individualssubsequently join a reserve component. The authorssuggest the Department of Defense should considernontraditional policy options to enhance recruitment ofcollege-bound youth. Recruiters could target morethoroughly students on two-year college campuses, ordropouts from two- or four-year colleges. Options forobtaining some college before military service could beexpanded by allowing high school seniors to first attendcollege, paid for by the military, and then enlist. Or thestudent might serve in a reserve component while incollege and then enter an active component after college.Alternatively, the military could create an entirely newpath for combining college and military service byencouraging enlisted veterans to attend college and thenreenlist (at a higher pay grade). The most promisingalternatives should be evaluated in a national experimentdesigned to test their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness,similar to the one that led to the creation of the ArmyCollege Fund and the Navy College Fund.

MR-989-AF Countering the New Terrorism. I. O.Lesser, B. Hoffman, J. Arquilla, D. F. Ronfeldt, M. Zanini,B. M. Jenkins. 1999.

The contours of terrorism are changing, and the newterrorism has more diverse sources, motivations, andtactics than the old. It is more lethal, global in reach, andcharacterized by network forms of organization. Terroristsponsorship is becoming hazier and "privatized." TheAugust 1998 terrorist bombings of U.S. embassies inKenya and Tanzania fit in many ways the new mold. Thechapters in this book trace the evolution of internationalterrorism against civilian and U.S. military targets, lookahead to where terrorism is going, and assess how it mightbe contained. Terrorism and counterterrorism are placed instrategic perspective, including how terrorism might beapplied as an asymmetric strategy by less-capableadversaries. The report builds on a existing body ofRAND research on terrorism and political violence, andmakes extensive use of the RAND-St. AndrewsChronology of International Terrorism.

MR-991-OSD Using the Force and Support CostingSystem: An Introductory Guide and Tutorial. J. H.Bigelow, M. J. Carrillo, H. G. Massey, A. R. Palmer.1999.

The Force and Support Costing (FSC) System is a set ofmodels and databases that helps analysts project the costimplications of proposed changes in defense forces,infrastructure, and assets. The user interface and many ofthe models are implemented in Excel; most of the databaseresides on a network. The illustrated study projects effectson defense costs arising from the deactivation of an Armydivision. The FSC system allows the user to view the forcestructure in the current Army program, select the divisionto be cut, and specify when the deactivation will occur.The system then translates that deactivation intoreductions in personnel and equipment assets, and costsout the implications. In addition to stepping through thespecific procedures for the simulation, the authors showother ways the FSC System can be used to analyze the costeffects of various policy actions.

MR-992-A Staffing Army ROTC at Colleges andUniversities: Alternatives for Reducing the Use of Active-Duty Soldiers. C. A. Goldman, B. R. Orvis, M. G.Mattock, D. A. Smith, R. Madison, L. L. McDonald.1999.

The increased tempo and range of military operationscoupled with reduced manned levels are exerting pressureon the Army to optimally use its active-duty soldiers.Consequently, the Army is seeking opportunities to fillpositions now occupied by active-duty soldiers with otherpersonnel. Specifically, Umbrella Issue 41 of the Army-wide Institutional/TDA Redesign Study called for thedesign and testing of staffing alternatives for the SeniorReserve Officer Training Corps (SROTC) program using acombination of Active Component, Reserve Component,or former military personnel. In support of thisrequirement the Arroyo Center was asked to developstaffing alternatives and design a test of theireffectiveness. This report discusses alternatives to currentSROTC battalion staffing in which many active-dutysoldiers performing teaching or training functions wouldbe replaced by reservists or by contracted civilians withformer military service. Also, civilians would becontracted to help cover administrative and logisticsfunctions now performed by active-duty soldiers. Theauthors recommend testing two alternative staffing plans,each over a period of two years. One plan focuses onformer military personnel, the other on reservists.

It is widely believed, and increasingly documented, thatthe United States is vulnerable to various types of"information warfare" attacks. Threats range from"nuisance" attacks by hackers to those potentially puttingnational security at risk. The latter might include attackson essential U.S. information systems in a major regionalcrisis or theater war. The purpose might be to deter (orcoerce) a U.S. intervention, to degrade U.S. powerprojection capabilities, to punish the United States or itsallies, or to undermine the support of the American publicfor the conflict. Critical command-and-control andintelligence systems are designed to be robust and secureunder attack. However, their survivability cannot be takenfor granted, and they depend on a diverse, primarilycivilian and commercial, information infrastructure(consisting of the Internet and the public telephonenetwork, among other elements). As the diversity andpotential seriousness of threats to the U.S. informationinfrastructure have become apparent, national-securityplanners and analysts have begun to think of ways tocounter such threats—to increase the infrastructure'savailability for essential functions. The authors analyze theconcept of a minimum essential information infrastructure(MEII) in light of the characteristics of the nationalinformation infrastructure and the nature of the threat.They suggest that it is useful to think of the MEII as aprocess rather than a hardened stand-alone structure, andthey provide a methodology and a tool to support theimplementation of that process by military units and otherorganizations.

MR-997-A Use of Public-Private Partnerships to MeetFuture Army Needs. I. Y. Chang, S. E. Galing, C. Wong,H. Yee, E. I. Axelband, M. Onesi, K. P. Horn. 1999.

The Arroyo Center was asked to assist Army MaterielCommand by creating a strategy for managing thedevelopment of advanced technologies, with specialattention to the changing future environment for researchand development. In previous phases of this project, theauthors showed that the Army has significant opportunitiesto do collaborative research with industry. Moreover, theydocumented new concepts the Army can use to implementa collaborative policy and showed how effective thoseconcepts would be in attracting nontraditional suppliers. Inthis report, the authors expand on the notion of acollaborative research strategy and discuss the utility ofpublic-private partnerships (PPPs) in the management anddevelopment of Army infrastructure, intellectual property,and financial arrangements. They discuss how PPPs canbenefit the Army through opportunities to leverage assets,reduce costs, create new assets or capabilities, be analternative approach to Base Realignment and ClosureActions, and generate revenue. The federal governmenthas begun to recognize the mutually beneficial returns ofsuch partnerships. For the past two decades, legislative

changes and actions by federal agencies have togethercreated an environment more conducive to PPPs.Moreover, the continued growth of PPPs at the localgovernment level will spur federal bodies such as theArmy to engage in more PPPs in the future. As the use ofPPPs grows, more innovation is also likely in order toaccommodate the variety of situations in which PPPs willbe applied. Some innovations will be extensions ofexisting programs, others will be borrowed from theacademic or commercial worlds, and some will becompletely new concepts. As PPP innovations emerge, theArmy will have to evaluate new concepts with respect tofeasibility and the benefits each concept is likely to bring.These evaluations can be combined to yield a strategicapproach to expanding the Army's use of PPPs.

MR-998-EDU Combining Service and Learning inHigher Education: Evaluation of the Learn and ServeAmerica, Higher Education Program. M. J. Gray, E. H.Ondaatje, R. D. Fricker, S. A. Geschwind, C. A. Goldman,T. Kaganoff, A. E. Robyn, L. J. Vogelgesang, S. P. Klein,N. Campbell, K. Rosenblatt. 1999.

This report presents results of a three-year evaluation ofLearn and Serve America, Higher Education (LSAHE), aprogram sponsored by the Corporation for National andCommunity Service that aims to increase involvement incommunity service by higher education institutions andstudents. LSAHE emphasizes an approach to communityservice, called "service-learning," that focuses on thedevelopment of service providers as well as servicerecipients. Between 1995 and 1997, about one in everyeight higher education institutions nationwide participatedin LSAHE by developing service-learning courses andprograms. The evaluation described the major activitiesand accomplishments of LSAHE-supported programs;assessed the impacts of LSAHE on students, communities,and institutions; and determined returns on the publicinvestment in LSAHE. Results show that LSAHE washighly successful in serving communities and had mixedsuccess in promoting student development andinstitutional change. Although expenditures exceeded thevalue of LSAHE to communities, value increased eachyear, suggesting that long-term positive returns may occur.

MR-1006-AF Defining a Common PlanningFramework for the Air Force. L. Lewis, B. Pirnie, W. A.Williams, J. Schrader. 1999.

Within the Air Force, resourcing requirements andrecommended allocations are developed within the MajorCommands (MAJCOMs), and the corporate Air Force hasfew mechanisms that allow it to look across all Air Forcerequirements and set institutional priorities. RAND wasasked to develop a common planning framework thatcould extend across the Air Force, allow bettercoordination of requirements and options, incorporate the

Page 78: Selected RAND Abstracts - CiteSeerX

69

Air Force "vision," and link to the external environment.The strategies-to-tasks methodology would provide theframework's foundation. Eventually, it was determinedthat the proposed planning areas were confusing and thatall planning and programming should be based in AirForce core competencies. Other means have beenimplemented to strengthen existing processes to ensurethat cross-cutting issues are raised and that horizontalintegration across MAJCOMs takes place. Although theAir Force chose not to implement the proposed commonplanning framework, the effort is documented tocontribute to the field of defense planning andprogramming.

MR-1012-A Consolidating Active and ReserveComponent Training Infrastructure. J. Schank, J. D.Winkler, M. G. Mattock, M. G. Shanley, J. C. Crowley, L.L. McDonald, R. Madison. 1999.

As part of a research project entitled "Evolution of theTotal Army School System," this report examines ways toconsolidate training infrastructure and augmentcapabilities across components to gain efficiency andachieve economies of scale in conducting individualtraining of Active Component (AC) and ReserveComponent (RC) soldiers. Using an optimization model,the researchers examined three options in the area ofmaintenance-related training, focusing on RC RegionalTraining Sites-Maintenance (RTS-Ms) and the ACproponent schools offering maintenance courses. Resultssuggest that permitting AC and RC students to takecourses at the nearest accredited school (AC school orRTS-M) has both economic and morale/cultural benefits.The former include reductions in travel, per-diem, andpotential instructor costs. The latter include reductions inthe time AC students spend away from their homes andunits, lower training workloads for AC instructors, andmore interaction, potentially building trust and confidenceacross components. Such interaction could also providebenefits in functional areas beyond maintenance, such ascombat service support. Based on the analyses, theresearchers recommend a pilot test to better understand theoptions and policy implications.

MR-1016-AF Strategic Appraisal: The ChangingRole of Information in Warfare. Z. Khalilzad, J. P. White,A. W. Marshall. 1999.

Advances in information technology have led us to rely oneasy communication and readily available information—both in our personal lives and in the life of our nation. Forthe most part, we have rightly welcomed these changes.But information that is readily available is available tofriend and foe alike; a system that relies oncommunication can become useless if its ability tocommunicate is interfered with or destroyed. Because thisreliance is so general, attacks on the information

infrastructure can have widespread effects, both for themilitary and for society. And such attacks can come from avariety of sources, some difficult or impossible to identify.This, the third volume in the Strategic Appraisal series,draws on the expertise of researchers from across RANDto explore the opportunities and vulnerabilities inherent inthe increasing reliance on information technology, lookingboth at its usefulness to the warrior and the need to protectits usefulness for everyone. The Strategic Appraisal seriesis intended to review, for a broad audience, issues bearingon national security and defense planning.

MR-1018/2-OSD A Review of the ScientificLiterature as It Pertains to Gulf War Illnesses. Vol. 2,Pyridostigmine Bromide . B. A. Golomb. 1999.

The United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf War(PGW) knew that Iraq had used nerve agents and chemicalweapons in its previous conflicts and so took steps toprotect their troops. Pyridostigmine bromide (PB) wasdistributed as a pretreatment that would enhance theeffectiveness of postexposure treatments in the event thatthe nerve agent soman was used. This report examines therole that PB played in the ongoing chronic health problemsdocumented in PGW veterans. After careful examinationof the known effects of PB on the central and peripheralnervous systems, the author finds the evidence consistentwith a possible role for PB as a contributor to the healthcomplaints of some PGW veterans and calls for immediateattention in the form of additional investigation to clarifythe role of PB.

MR-1018/7-OSD A Review of the ScientificLiterature as It Pertains to Gulf War Illnesses. Vol. 7,Depleted Uranium. N. H. Harley, E. C. Foulkes, L. H.Hilborne, A. Hudson, C. R. Anthony. 1999.

Because of the metal's density and metallurgicalproperties, depleted uranium (DU) saw widespread useduring the Persian Gulf War in improved armor andantiarmor rounds of increased penetrating power. Thisreport examines the scientific literature regarding possiblehealth effects on U.S. troops of exposure to DU. Whilevery little literature directly addresses DU, a wide body ofliterature deals with the health effects of natural uraniumand enriched uranium. DU is toxicologically identical tonatural uranium and radiologically more benign because itis less radioactive. No increase in overall deaths has beenobserved as a result of exposure to natural uranium inseveral epidemiological studies. The literature review paidclose attention to the ongoing study of a group of GulfWar Veterans who received the highest exposure to DU.Those with embedded fragments have elevated urineuranium levels, but researchers report neither adverserenal effects attributable to DU nor any adverse healtheffects related to DU radiation.

MR-1018/9-OSD Military Use of Drugs Not YetApproved by FDA for CW/BW Defense : Lessons fromthe Gulf War. R. A. Rettig. 1999.

The confrontation that began when Iraq invaded Kuwait inAugust 1990 brought with it the threat that chemical andbiological weapons might be used against the more thanhalf a million military personnel the United Statesdeployed to the region. To protect these troops from suchthreats, the Department of Defense wished to use drugsand vaccines that, not having been tested for use in thesespecific situations, were considered "investigational" bythe federal Food and Drug Administration. This reportexamines the history of the Interim Rule, adopted inDecember 21, 1990, that authorized the Commissioner ofFood and Drugs to waive informed consent for the use ofinvestigational drugs and vaccines for certain militaryuses; how this authority was used for pyridostigminebromide and botulinum toxoid during the Gulf War; andthe subsequent controversy surrounding the rule, itsapplication, and its implications. The report then analyzesthe issues the Interim Rule raised when investigationaldrugs are used for such purposes and makesrecommendations for dealing with similar situations in thefuture.

MR-1020-OSD An Evaluation of Housing Optionsfor Military Families. R. J. Buddin, C. R. Gresenz, S. D.Hosek, M. N. Elliott, J. Hawes-Dawson. 1999.

Military family housing is a significant-and expensive-benefit, costing the Department of Defense (DoD) nearly$10 billion annually. Because most housing studies havefocused on the cost of on-base housing versus the cost ofproviding allowances for rented or owned off-basehousing, the authors investigated the preferences ofmilitary families for types of housing and the factors thatinfluence their choices. Service members report that theeconomic benefits of on-base housing are the mostsignificant factor by far in housing preference, perceivinga vast difference in value between military housing andoff-base housing allowances. All other factors, such as asupportive sense of military community, lag far behindeconomy in influencing choice. Closing the gap ineconomic disparity between on- and off-base housing, andenhancing programs that aid service members in procuringoff-base accommodations, would provide the greatestbenefit to services and members.

MR-1021-OSD Political Violence and Stability in theStates of the Northern Persian Gulf. D. Byman, J. D.Green. 1999.

Political violence threatens the lives of U.S. soldiers andthe stability of U.S. allies throughout the world. Thisreport examines the threat of political violence in thePersian Gulf states of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and

the United Arab Emirates and the best means of reducingthat threat. It assesses sources of discontent, commonreasons for anti-regime politicization, potential triggers ofviolence, and the influence of foreign powers. The reportthen describes the strategies that regimes in the area haveused to interfere with political organization and to counterviolence in general. The report concludes by notingimplications of political violence for both the UnitedStates and its allies in the Gulf, and by assessing theimpact of various measures that could reduce violence:enacting political and economic reforms in the Gulf;changing the U.S. presence in the region through newbasing and operational approaches; increasing a Europeanrole in Gulf security; coercing foreign powers thatcontribute to violence; strengthening the U.S.-Gulfpartnership; and improving military-to-military ties.

MR-1023-A Issues Raised During the 1998 ArmyAfter Next Spring Wargame. W. L. Perry, B. Pirnie, J.Gordon. 1999.

The Army After Next (AAN) wargames provide astructured forum for a discussion of national securityissues associated with the nature of warfare in the early-to-mid 21st century. This report summarizes issues generatedduring the AAN Spring Wargame 1998. The wargame wasset in 2021. The major game activity involved an attack byRed on the states on the south shore of the Persian Gulf.The United States was also involved in a multinationalpeacekeeping operation in Indonesia. In addition,continuing border conflict between India and Pakistanescalated dangerously during the game, eventuallyresulting in nuclear weapon use. These three separateevents were designed to examine the role of AAN forcesin global conflicts. Five dominant themes cut across thetwelve issues identified in this study: rapid deploymentinto theater, asymmetric responses, urban warfare,homeland defense, and information operations.

MR-1024-OSD Using Process Redesign to ImproveDoD's Environmental Security Program: RemediationProgram Management. J. A. Drezner, F. A. Camm.c1999.

In fiscal year 1994, approximately $2.4 billion was spenton cleanup (or remediation) activities through the DefenseEnvironmental Restoration Account and the BaseRealignment and Closure act; in fiscal year 1996,approximately $2.1 billion will be spent, slightly less thanhalf of the total Department of Defense (DoD)environmental security budget. Efforts to increase theefficiency of remediation activities, either by reducingcosts or accelerating the process through simplificationand streamlining, could have a substantial effect on DoD'sability to meet its cleanup obligations within anincreasingly constrained budget. By examining theremediation management programs of two large chemical

companies, Olin Corporation and DuPont, the authorsidentified activities DoD could implement to improveitsHAN, Yes at active and closing installations andformerly used defense sites. The following were the coreidentified tasks: Distribute responsibilities between thecentral management group and decentralized executionteams, adopt a business process perspective, include more-focused use of performance measurement, proactivelyidentify and manage potential liabilities, and improvestakeholder (regulator and community) interactions.

MR-1028-AF Airbase Vulnerability to ConventionalCruise-Missile and Ballistic-Missile Attacks: Technology,Scenarios, and U.S. Air Force Responses. J. Stillion, D.Orletsky. 1999.

As part of a two-year effort to develop an expansiveconstruct of air and space power in the early twenty-firstcentury that capitalizes on forthcoming air and spacetechnologies and concepts of operation and is effectiveagainst adversaries with diverse economies, cultures,political institutions, and military capabilities, the researchteam investigated the possibility that future adversariesmight be able to mount effective missile attacks on U.S.Air Force (USAF) main operating bases in critical regions.This report does not assess the relative vulnerabilities ofvarious force elements and facilities; instead, it aids theUSAF in addressing a potential vulnerability of its in-theater bases: highly accurate attacks against USAFaircraft on parking ramps at such bases made possible bythe proliferation of Global Positioning System (GPS)guidance and submunition warhead technologies. If suchattacks are feasible, the current USAF operational conceptof high-tempo, parallel strikes from in-theater bases couldbe put in jeopardy. This report concludes that theseguidance and munition technologies could, in fact, putUSAF bases at serious risk. The report describes the threattechnologies and concept of operation in detail, thenexplores both short-term responses—such as puttingmachine-gun teams equipped with night-vision goggles intowers around the bases—and long-term responses—suchas operating anywhere in the world from a few secure,hardened, fixed bases with guaranteed access—to thesethreats.

MR-1029-DARPA Past Revolutions, FutureTransformations: What Can the History of Revolutions inMilitary Affairs Tell Us About Transforming the U.S.Military? R. O. Hundley. 1999.

Advances in technology can bring about dramatic changesin military operations, often termed "revolutions inmilitary affairs" or RMAs. Such technology-drivenchanges in military operations are not merely a recentphenomenon: they have been occurring since the dawn ofhistory, they will continue to occur in the future, and theywill continue to bestow a military advantage on the first

nation to develop and use them. Accordingly, it isimportant to the continued vitality and robustness of theU.S. defense posture for the DoD R&D community to beaware of technology developments that couldrevolutionize military operations in the future, and for theU.S. military services to be on the lookout forrevolutionary ways in which to employ those technologiesin warfare. This report examines the history of past RMAs,to see what can be learned from them regarding thechallenge confronting the DoD today, when it has set outon a concerted effort to bring about a technology-driventransformation of the U.S. military to achieve theoperational goals outlined in Joint Vision 2010. Among itsmany findings are three of particular note: RMAs arerarely brought about by dominant players (such as the U.S.military is today). For a dominant player to bring about anRMA requires a receptive organizational climate, fosteringa continually refined vision of how war may change in thefuture and encouraging vigorous debate regarding thefuture of the organization; senior officers with traditionalcredentials willing to sponsor new ways of doing thingsand able to establish new promotion pathways for juniorofficers practicing a new way of war; mechanisms forexperimentation, to discover, learn, test and demonstratenew ideas; and ways of responding positively to the resultsof successful experiments, in terms of doctrinal changes,acquisition programs, and force structure modifications.The DoD has some of these elements today, but is missingothers. The report makes specific suggestions regardingways of filling in the missing elements. Doing these thingswill facilitate DoD's force transformation activities andhelp ensure that the next RMA is brought about by theUnited States. and not some other nation.

MR-1030-DARPA The Arsenal Ship AcquisitionProcess Experience: Contrasting and CommonImpressions from the Contractor Teams and Joint ProgramOffice. R. S. Leonard, J. A. Drezner, G. Sommer. 1999.

The Arsenal Ship acquisition program was unique in tworespects: it represented a new operational concept forNavy weapon systems, and its management structure andprocess represented a significant departure from traditionalmilitary ship-building programs. The Arsenal Shipprogram was, in effect, an experiment; while the Navyenvisioned an array of mission capabilities for the ship, itset the project budget as the single immovablerequirement. In the end, political and financial constraintscaused the program's cancellation. Nevertheless, itsacquisition approach and technical innovations havealready had—and will continue to have—significantinfluence on other Navy ship-building programs. Thelessons learned from the Arsenal Ship program, applied toexisting and planned systems, should more than recoverthe money spent on it.

MR-1031-RE/FLAD A Seminar Game to AnalyzeRegional Governance Options for Portugal. J. P. Kahan,M. van . Loo, M. Franco, J. Cravinho, V. Rato, J. T.Silveira, F. Fonseca. 1999.

Regionalization in Portugal was a major issue in 1998, asthe nation held a referendum on whether to establishadministrative regions to assume many tasks presentlyperformed by the central government. The debate was bothhot and confused, as both "pro" and "anti" forces claimedtheir solution would lead to more efficient government,and no major political party spoke with one voice. To helpilluminate the debate, RAND Europe conducted in June1998 a series of seminar games simulating the alternativedecentralization schemes being contemplated. The resultsof the game showed that (1) the specific form ofdecentralization may be less important than the details ofimplementation (not present in the debate); (2) the criticalissue of financial autonomy for local governing bodies hadnot been adequately addressed; (3) there was no consensusregarding which governmental competencies are the bestfor devolution to regions; and (4) whatever form ofdecentralization is chosen, close monitoring of differentcompetencies and the flexibility to shift policies areessential.

MR-1033-OSD The Emergence of Noopolitik:Toward an American Information Strategy. J. Arquilla, D.F. Ronfeldt. 1999.

Strategy, at its best, knits together ends and means, nomatter how various and disparate, into a cohesive pattern.In the case of a U.S. information strategy, this requiresbalancing the need to guard and secure access to manyinformational capabilities and resources, with theopportunity to achieve national aims by fostering as muchopenness as practicable. The authors' term to representsuch strategic balancing is "guarded openness." They goon to describe "noopolitik" (nu-oh-poh-li-teek)—anemerging form of statecraft that emphasizes theimportance of sharing ideas and values globally,principally through the exercise of persuasive "soft power"rather than traditional military "hard power." This studydiscusses the opportunities that may be raised by theemergence of noopolitik—ranging from construction of anoosphere (a globe-spanning realm of the mind) torecommendations that, for example, the U.S. militaryshould begin to develop its own noosphere (among andbetween the services, as well as with U.S. allies). In thearea of international cooperation, the authors offerstrategic approaches for improving the capacity of stateand nonstate actors to work together to addresstransnational problems. In addition, the authorsrecommend specific doctrinal developments, implied bythe emergence of information strategy—including thepressing need to deal with such ethical concerns as thefirst use of information weapons, concepts of proportional

response, and the need to maintain the immunity ofnoncombatants. Ultimately, the authors call for aninnovative turn of mind as policymakers and strategistsrethink how best to adapt to the epochal transformationsbeing wrought by the information revolution.

MR-1036-EDU Closing the Education Gap: Benefitsand Costs. G. Vernez, R. A. Krop, C. P. Rydell. 1999.

How much would it cost and what would the benefits be ifblacks and Hispanics graduated from high school, went tocollege, and graduated from college at the same rate asnon-Hispanic whites? The answer to this importantquestion for the future of the nation is explored in thisreport. The costs of education would be high, increasingby about 20 percent in California and 10 percent in the restof the nation. But the benefits, in the form of savings inpublic health and welfare expenditures and increased taxrevenues from higher incomes, would be even higher.Indeed, the added costs of providing more education tominorities would be recouped well within the lifetime oftaxpayers called upon to make the additional investments.The nation is experiencing a rapid immigration drivenincrease in the share of Hispanics in the school agepopulation. Failure to increase the educational attainmentof this group would result in growing shares of new labor-force entrants having levels of education lower than thoseprevailing today; in increased income disparities betweenblacks and Hispanics, on one hand, and Asians and non-Hispanic whites, on the other; and in increased publicexpenditures for social and health programs forgenerations to come.

MR-1040-A Preparing for Korean Unification:Scenarios and Implications. J. D. Pollack, C. M. Lee.1999.

This study examines four alternative scenarios that wouldresult in the unification of the Korean peninsula. Theauthors describe the defining characteristics of eachscenario, potential indicators that would predict specificoutcomes, some possible variations in paths to unification,and some operational implications for the U.S. Armyunder different conditions and circumstances. The fourscenarios (peaceful unification, collapse and absorption,unification through armed conflict, and disequilibrium andexternal intervention) highlight both the increasingvulnerabilities of the North Korean state and thesubstantial uncertainties that attach to each outcome and tothe potential U.S. policy responses. These considerationsimpose major conceptual, policy, and operationalchallenges both in the near and middle term and in thepostunification peninsular security environment. Eachwarrants an enhanced analysis and assessment effort, lestU.S. and ROK policymakers find themselves ill preparedfor major challenges to alliance management and to theU.S. Army role in a future crisis.

MR-1042-SOCOM Barriers to Minority Participationin Special Operations Forces. M. C. Harrell, S. N. Kirby,J. Sloan, C. M. Graf, C. J. McKelvey, J. M. Sollinger.1999.

This report assesses minority representation and recruitingin special operations forces (SOF). It examines the extentof underrepresentation of minorities in SOF and thereasons for it and provides recommendations to helpimprove such underrepresentation. The authors usedpersonnel data from the U.S. Special OperationsCommand and the various component commands toportray the racial/ethnic composition of SOF andcompared it to the racial/ethnic composition of differentcomparison groups. The study found that minorities are,indeed, underrepresented in SOF—especially blacks.Barriers to joining SOF consisted of structural barrierssuch as the ASVAB score cutoffs and the swimmingrequirement, perceptual barriers such as lack of knowledgeand community support and lack of identification withSOF, as well as a possible lack of interest in SOF. Theauthors offer several recommendations to overcome thesebarriers.

MR-1043-RE/VW POLSSS--Policy for Sea ShippingSafety: Executive Summary. W. E. Walker, M.Poyhonen, J. de Jong, C. van der Tak. 1999.

Safety concerns in shipping in and around the Netherlands'harbors and ports range from the risks and environmentalimpacts of shipping disasters to the economic effects ofmore common accidents. Safety is also an importantprecondition for further developing Rotterdam's mainportfunction. The Netherlands Ministry of Transport, PublicWorks and Water Management asked RAND Europe todevelop an analytical framework to identify promising seashipping safety policies. The study, POLicy for SeaShipping Safety (POLSSS) included an assessment of thecosts and benefits of a range of policy options formaintaining or improving safety in the North Sea, a surveyof the perceptions of stakeholders about the safetysituation in the North Sea, and a survey of the perceptionsof stakeholders about the cost-effectiveness of some of thepolicy options. This report provides an overview of theproject and its results. More detailed information iscontained in three supporting volumes, which are availablefrom RAND Europe.

MR-1045-AF Chinese Policy Toward Russia and theCentral Asian Republics. M. Burles. 1999.

This report examines the foundation of China's policiestoward Russia and the five republics of Central Asia,identifies the combination of issues and environmentalconditions likely to shape the policies' evolution, andassesses their potential impact on regional or global U.S.interests. After discussing why China has improved its

relations with Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, the report describes thegoals of Chinese policies toward these countries,highlighting the wide range of issues and interestsinvolved. The report next examines the prospects for Sino-Russian and Sino-Central Asian relations, and how thedevelopment of these relations might affect U.S. interests.China's relationships with the Central Asia Republics posefewer potential problems for U.S. interests than does itsrelationship with Russia. There is little threat of Chinadominating the region in a manner that would restrict U.S.access to energy resources. Other aspects of China'srelationship with the Central Asian states might becomeproblematic; for example, land-based transportation linksthrough Central Asia to the Middle East may facilitategreater economic, political, and military cooperationbetween Beijing and regional regimes that are hostile tothe United States.

MR-1048-WHFH/RF/UNFPA How Does CongressApproach Population and Family Planning Issues?Results of Qualitative Interviews with LegislativeDirectors. S. Patterson, D. Adamson. 1999.

Congressional opinions on issues related to population arehighly polarized. Approximately 90 percent of Congressconsistently votes either uniformly to support or uniformlyto oppose population-related legislation—so the remaining10 percent is likely to determine the fate of suchinitiatives. To determine how this critical group makes itsdecisions, researchers interviewed a sample of legislativedirectors (chosen as proxies, to allow in-depth interviews).Most respondents felt that the United States shouldcontinue to play a leading role internationally, but severalalso stressed that their members of Congress favorincreased emphasis on multilateral approaches. A majorityfelt that world population growth is a problem but is noturgent. Nearly unanimous support was expressed for U.S.support of voluntary family planning when it is understoodto exclude abortion. Congress would benefit fromresearch-based, factual information on a variety ofinternational population issues.

MR-1049-OSD Planning America's Security:Lessons from the National Defense Panel. J. E. Tedstrom,J. G. McGinn. 1999.

This report identifies key lessons from the first NationalDefense Panel (NDP) and makes recommendations to theCongress, the administration, and future NDPmanagement teams about how the process can be mademore effective. The NDP was established by the 1996Military Force Structure Review Act as an independenteffort to provide guidance to the Secretary of Defense andthe Congress on long-term defense strategies and forcestructure requirements. This report reviews themotivations for creating the NDP, its administrative and

logistical experience, the NDP's relationship to theQuadrennial Defense Review (QDR), and the final NDPreport. Some of the principal recommendations are that (1)the NDP should maintain its focus on defense issues, butdo more to integrate its recommendations into the broadernational security agenda; (2) future NDPs should be bettercoordinated with the defense planning cycle (i.e., the nextNDP, preceding the next QDR, should complete its workbefore the new administration comes into office in 2001);and (3) future NDPs should deal more systematically withresource constraints than the first NDP.

MR-1050.0-OSTP The Impact of EndocrineDisrupting Chemicals on Wildlife: A Review of theLiterature 1985-1998. S. A. Geschwind, E. Eiseman, D.M. Spektor, A. Hudson. 1999.

MR-1051-CDSS Welfare Reform in California: Stateand County Implementation of CalWORKs in the FirstYear. G. Zellman, J. A. Klerman, E. Reardon, D. O.Farley, N. Humphrey, T. Chun, P. Steinberg. 1999.

The California Work Opportunity and Responsibility toKids (CalWORKs) program is California's response to thewelfare reforms Congress set in motion in 1996. The mostvisible features of this program are its emphasis onmoving welfare recipients from reliance on governmentcash assistance to work and toward self-sufficiency; its useof time limits and participation requirements; its provisionof certain services, such as child care and job searchassistance, to make participation easier; and its devolutionof program authority from the state to the county level.Here, the authors examine the first year of CalWORKs,focusing on the planning and implementation processesand the effects of the program to date. Four themesemerged that will be explored further in future reports: (1)Organizations have changed in response to the expandedmission of CalWORKs, despite limited time for planning.(2) Implementation is under way, but recipient complianceis low. (3) Counties currently have sufficient funds, butthis may change. (4) Achieving earnings needed to achieveself-sufficiency before time limits expire is a challenge.

MR-1052-CDSS Welfare Reform in California:Results of the 1998 All-County Implementation Survey.P. A. Ebener, J. A. Klerman. 1999.

The California Work Opportunity and Responsibility toKids (CalWORKs) program is California's response to thewelfare reforms Congress set in motion in 1996. In late1998, RAND conducted the first of three statewidesurveys on CalWORKs implementation. Survey responsesindicate that the counties have made significantadministrative changes in welfare operations, in thestructure and organization of their welfare departmentsand other agencies, in staffing, and in information systems.Many counties have completed planning activities andhave fully operational program components. Most countiesreport no major implementation problems to date butanticipate problems in the future with cumulative lifetimelimits and work requirements. A majority of countiesagreed that environmental characteristics such as the jobmarket, housing, and transportation have hinderedimplementation; interagency relationships, planning, andexperience with welfare reform have facilitated it. Nearlyall agree that special-needs child care and transportationare inadequate. Complete survey responses from the 58counties are contained in a companion volume, MR-1052/1-CDSS.

MR-1054-DARPA Innovative Management in theDARPA High Altitude Endurance Unmanned AerialVehicle Program: Phase II Experience. J. A. Drezner, G.Sommer. 1999.

The U.S. military's development of Unmanned AerialVehicles (UAVs) has been hampered by cost overruns,schedule slippage, and disappointing operational results.The High Altitude Endurance UAV (HAE UAV) jointprogram, initiated under the direction of the DefenseAdvanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),incorporates several innovative elements in its acquisitionstrategy that depart radically from traditional acquisitionapproaches. The program's development phase for theGlobal Hawk and DarkStar air vehicles is analyzed in thisresearch. The HAE UAV program has experiencedproblems that are typical of newly implemented methods,but it has produced significant benefits, and provides

lessons that could improve a wide variety of futureacquisition processes.

MR-1056-AF Supporting Expeditionary AerospaceForces: An Integrated Strategic Agile Combat SupportPlanning Framework. R. S. Tripp, L. A. Galway, P. S.Killingsworth, E. Peltz, T. L. Ramey, J. G. Drew. 1999.

A key challenge facing the future Air Force is how tonearly continuously deploy relatively small-scale forcesfor peacekeeping and humanitarian relief missions whilemaintaining the capability to win major theater wars. Inresponse to this challenge, the Air Force has developed theconcept of an Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) todeal with the range of expected missions. The reportargues that this new concept requires a completereexamination of the combat support system, especiallythe planning framework for combat support. Thisframework must integrate logistics, mobility, andoperational planning across echelons, commands, andphases of warfare. The report discusses how integratedAgile Combat Support planning aimed at mid-term orstrategic decisions can enhance the effectiveness andefficiency of EAF operations. The authors provide anexample of use of the ACS planning framework toevaluate support alternatives for a strike AEF deploymentto Southwest Asia, addressing aviation support, reparableavionics components, and munitions.

MR-1061-AF Air Power as a Coercive Instrument. D.Byman, M. C. Waxman, E. V. Larson. 1999

Coercion—the use of threatened force to induce anadversary to change its behavior—is a critical function ofthe U.S. military. U.S. forces have recently fought in theBalkans, the Persian Gulf, and the Horn of Africa tocompel recalcitrant regimes and warlords to stoprepression, abandon weapons programs, permithumanitarian relief, and otherwise modify their actions.Yet despite its overwhelming military might, the UnitedStates often fails to coerce successfully. This reportexamines the phenomenon of coercion and how air powercan contribute to its success. Three factors increase thelikelihood of successful coercion: (1) the coercer's abilityto raise the costs it imposes while denying the adversarythe chance to respond (escalation dominance); (2) anability to block an adversary's military strategy for victory;and (3) an ability to magnify third-party threats, such asinternal instability or the danger posed by another enemy.Domestic political concerns (such as casualty sensitivity)and coalition dynamics often constrain coercive operationsand impair the achievement of these conditions. Air powercan deliver potent and credible threats that foster the abovefactors while neutralizing adversary countercoercivemoves. When the favorable factors are absent, however,air power—or any other military instrument—willprobably fail to coerce. Policymakers' use of coercive air

power under inauspicious conditions diminishes thechances of using it elsewhere when the prospects ofsuccess would be greater.

MR-1064-A Does the Army Have a National LandUse Strategy? D. Rubenson, R. Weissler, C. Wong, R.Everson. 1999.

The Army and the Department of Defense (DoD) have along-term need to access land for training and testing.Both have been criticized for failing to determine theiroverall land needs, and for pursuing land expansionswithout a rational strategy. Critics charge that the militaryis involved in "land-grabs" driven by the inability to shareresources across organizational boundaries within DoD.This report examines the physical and organizationalboundaries of the DoD and Army land base, and it uses theArmy as a case study of how land requirements aredetermined. The authors conclude that physical—notorganizational—boundaries, along with advances inweapon systems, create the need for additional land.However, organizational and institutional boundariesprevent DoD and the Army from explaining this andforming a clear statement of the overall approach todetermining land requirements. The authors recommendthat the Army make its implicit strategy explicit, and theyprovide recommendations for more efficient use of theland base between major commands and services.

MR-1066-DFAS Defense Working Capital FundPricing Policies: Insights from the Defense Finance andAccounting Service. E. G. Keating, S. M. Gates. 1999.

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS),created in 1991 through the consolidation of militaryservice-specific accounting and finance operations,provides a variety of services to Department of Defense(DoD) customers, such as payroll, bill payment, andgeneration of accounting statements. Examining DFASdata on expenditures and workload to explore possibilitiesfor improved operations, the authors argue that currentlinear pricing of DFAS services is inappropriate. Inparticular, DFAS expenditures neither increase nordecrease commensurate with workload. DFAS's pricingcould be improved by a switch to a nonlinear approach,distributing fixed costs among customers using open-the-door transfer payments and charging only incrementalcosts to customers on a per work unit basis. Such a pricingreform would require changes to current Defense WorkingCapital Fund (DWCF) regulations.

MR-1067-OSD A Description of U.S. EnlistedPersonnel Promotion Systems. S. Williamson. 1999.

The U.S. armed services have different methods andprocesses for promoting enlisted personnel. All of theservices, however, aim to ensure that promotion outcomes

correspond to substantive differences in personnel quality.This report provides a snapshot of how the Army, Navy,Marines, and Air Force go about measuring dutyperformance, leadership potential, experience, knowledge,and skills to determine who among its enlisted force meritspromotion, when they are eligible for promotion, and atwhat level promotion decisions are made. This reportprovides an overview of the enlisted promotion system inthe 1990s as retention issues again move to the forefrontof Defense Department concerns.

MR-1069-A Allocating Scholarships for ArmyROTC. C. A. Goldman, M. G. Mattock, J. Davis, L. L.McDonald, B. R. Orvis, J. M. Sollinger, A. M. Stone, J. P.Thomas, N. Tovar. 1999.

In the face of rising tuition costs and the increasedimportance of scholarships to meeting its commissionmission, the Army designed a new scholarship program,known as the tiered scholarship program because it offeredfour different scholarship values (called tiers). Under thenew program, enrollments at public colleges increasedmodestly and the Army controlled the total scholarshipcost. But as feared, many fewer of the nation's mostacademically able students enrolled in ROTC, and theprograms at the nation's most prestigious private collegesand universities were facing the prospect of closure. Basedon these findings, the authors recommended and the Armyimplemented a high-value scholarship targeted to someprestigious private colleges. The study also analyzesseveral complete scholarship programs to replace thetiered scholarships. The analysis supports plans thatcontinue to offer high-value scholarships at someprestigious private schools, while offering lower values atother schools. Although it would entail some significanttradeoffs, the authors have also presented a plan thatwould offer greater values to in-state students at publicschools—a large potential market, especially if tuitionincreases in the private schools do not abate in the decadeahead. These offers would require congressional approvalbecause the law currently prohibits the use of scholarshipsfor room and board, which constitute the largest portion ofthese in-state students' expenses to attend college.

MR-1070-AEA The Economic Costs and Implicationsof High-Technology Hardware Theft. J. N. Dertouzos, E.V. Larson, P. A. Ebener. 1999.

This report presents the results of a study undertaken at therequest of the American Electronics Association and aconsortium of high-tech industries. Based on a nine-monthsurvey of 95 firms, representing approximately 40 percentof the sales volume for the computer, semiconductor, harddisk drive, and cellular telephone industries, the authorsestimate that direct costs of hardware theft are almost $250million. Indirect costs (such as lost sales and expensivetheft-reduction strategies) and industry losses could pushtotal losses past $5 billion. Industry and consumers sharethe price of high-tech losses, but firms do not always havethe economic incentive to invest in appropriate securitymeasures. Since 1996, hardware theft has declinedsignificantly, and recent security measures adopted by

individual firms appear to be very cost-effective. Theauthors recommend more such investments and suggestthat the largest payoff will come from anticipating whatproducts are most vulnerable and devising targetedprocedures to protect them. In addition, they recommendstrengthening collaborative industry-law enforcementefforts to help track the threat, anticipate targets, andidentify and disable stolen property.

MR-1071-OSD Increasing a Sense of Community inthe Military: The Role of Personnel Support Programs.C. Van Laar. 1999.

A universally accepted definition of what a sense ofcommunity is remains elusive, but policymakers agree thatincreasing that sense has tangible benefits for the U.S.military in improvements to commitment, performance,retention, and readiness. This report examines the role ofthe Defense Department's personnel support programs andfocuses on nine tools for increasing sense of community:group symbols, rewards and honors, common externalthreat, making military membership attractive, group sizeand individuality, personal influence, personal investment,contact and proximity, and group activities. The reportalso analyzes which groups would most benefit fromprograms to increase a sense of community and how toavoid pitfalls when attempting to increase that sense.

MR-1072-SRF Economic Openness: Many Facets,Many Metrics. C. Wolf, H. P. Levaux, D. Tong. 1999.

Assesses economic openness in various countries andregional entities with emphasis on non-tariff barriers,employing three methods: (1) a microeconomic method—using a new survey research instrument that focuses on theease or difficulty of engaging in trade and investmentbusiness in five countries or regions: the United States,Japan, China, South Korea, and Germany as a proxy forthe European Union; (2) a micropolitical method—adetailed review of regulations and practices affecting theease or difficulty of doing business in these countries; and(3) a macroeconomic method—preliminary examinationof the relationship between "real" and "nominal" currencyvalues in these same countries. The microeconomic andmicropolitical methods yielded closely congruent results.The rankings are: the United States, Germany, Japan,Korea, and China. The openness rankings resulting fromthe macroeconomic method (i.e., the divergences betweenreal and nominal exchange rates) are not closely correlatedwith the other results, but the coefficient of concordanceamong the three sets of rankings is significantly high. Thestudy recommends that more attention be accorded to theviews of business practitioners concerning obstacles todoing business and that legal and administrative codes besystematically reviewed and compared to understand thesources of non-tariff barriers and suggest ways toameliorate them.

MR-1074-AF NATO and Caspian Security: AMission Too Far? R. Sokolsky, T. Charlick-Paley. 1999

This report attempts to put the Caspian Basin and CentralAsia into a comprehensive strategic perspective at a timewhen NATO is increasingly concerned with challenges onits periphery. The authors examine NATO's interests,capabilities, and constraints as well as the salient trendsand factors shaping the regional security environment. Inspite of the region's potential energy riches and thejockeying for influence among major powers and oilinterests, the authors suggest that NATO should see theregion as a potential quagmire rather than as a vacuumwaiting to be filled. The report discusses Westernobjectives and interests in the Caspian, internal andintraregional threats to Western interests, the competitionfor influence among outside powers, transnational threats,Caspian oil and energy security, and implications forNATO and Western policy and planning. The authorsconclude that the West has limited interests and leveragein the Caspian Basin, and the Alliance should focus onpromoting the restructuring and professionalization ofindigenous armed forces, while resisting newcommitments and security responsibilities in the region.

MR-1077-WRDSC Groundwater Recharge withReclaimed Water: Birth Outcomes in Los AngelesCounty, 1982-1993. E. M. Sloss, D. McCaffrey, R. D.Fricker, S. A. Geschwind, B. R. Ritz. 1999.

This book is an assessment of the effects on human healthof reclaimed water. The assessment focuses on adverseoutcomes among liveborn infants, including low birthweight, preterm birth, infant mortality, and birth defects,from 1982 to 1993. Outcome rates in the MontebelloForebay area, which has received some reclaimed water inits water supply since 1962, are compared with a controlarea that received no reclaimed water. Using a cohortstudy design, this epidemiologic assessment analyzesoutcome data on individuals classified by a ZIP code-levelpercentage of reclaimed water. The results of the study donot provide evidence of an association between reclaimedwater and adverse birth outcomes.

MR-1079-NSF Global Science and TechnologyInformation: A New Spin on Access. C. S. Wagner, A.Yezril. 1999.

In the more than 30 years the U.S. federal government hastracked and monitored international science andtechnology information (ISTI), the global marketplace andthe economy have changed dramatically. Capabilities inother nations have matured, resulting in highlycompetitive products. The RAND survey described heresuggests that there is a need for timely, unbiased, global,and easily accessible ISTI, that government collection andanalysis of that information are and will continue to be

important government roles, and that this need is likely togrow. Expanding the government's mission here wouldgreatly enhance and update the services provided to allusers. Possible improvements include providing a globaloverview, adding economic and trade information,encouraging networking of information and resources, andincreasing the number of quick responses and person-to-person interactions. Many of these improvements can, infact, take advantage of the globalization of industry, theinformation revolution, and dispersed scientificexcellence. The effective features of existing services,combined with new information tools and opportunities,can be incorporated to build the next generation of ISTIservices.

MR-1082-AF The United States and a Rising China:Strategic and Military Implications. Z. Khalilzad, A. N.Shulsky, D. Byman, R. Cliff, D. Orletsky, D. A. Shlapak,A. J. Tellis. 1999.

China has been embarked on a process of reform andmodernization that has led to unprecedented economicdevelopment. The goal is to make China a developedcountry, which would, among other things, raise thestandard of living and prepare the base for a strongmilitary. The Chinese leadership considers good relationswith the United States to be strongly advisable, if notabsolutely necessary, but sovereignty concerns (especiallywith regard to Taiwan) could cause tensions in the Sino-U.S. relationship. China could emerge, by 2015, as aformidable power, one that might offer an alternative tothe current U.S. role as the region's preferred securitypartner and its ultimate security manager. At present, thebest U.S. response appears to be a combination ofengagement and containment, a "congagement" policy thatwould continue to try to bring China into the currentinternational system while both preparing for a possibleChinese challenge to it and seeking to convince theChinese leadership that a challenge would be difficult andextremely risky to pursue.

MR-1083-EDU Staffing At-Risk School Districts inTexas: Problems and Prospects. S. N. Kirby, S. Naftel,M. Berends. 1999.

Teacher supply and demand issues are of criticalimportance as our society enters the 21st century. Over thenext decade, about two million new teachers will beneeded largely because of a dramatic increase inenrollments and high attrition rates as an aging teacherworkforce becomes eligible for retirement. It is importantto understand where these teachers will come from andwhere they will teach. This is especially important forhigh-poverty districts that tend to have large numbers ofstudents at risk of educational failure. These districts,which also tend to be disproportionately minority, arealready facing difficulty recruiting and retaining qualified

teachers. Given this, it is important to ask whether we willbe able to staff high-risk and high-minority districts.National data show that these districts are staffedpredominantly by minority teachers. Thus, the answer tothe question of who will staff these districts revolvesaround whether we will have enough minority teachers.This report aims to fill part of this information gap byexamining demand and supply of minority teachers inTexas.

MR-1085-EDU Assessing the Progress of NewAmerican Schools: A Status Report. M. Berends, J. Z.Heilbrunn, C. J. McKelvey, T. J. Sullivan. 1999.

New American Schools (NAS), a private nonprofitcorporation, began in 1991 to fund the development ofdesigns aimed at transforming entire schools at theelementary and secondary levels, seeking to engage thenation's best educators, business people, and researchers inan effort to create, test, and foster the implementation ofschoolwide designs that "break the mold." Thecompetition, development, and demonstration phases ofthis effort have been completed; the current "scaling-up"phase, with the goal of forming a critical mass of schoolswithin partnering school districts, began in 1995. Thisreport describes RAND's plan for collecting the dataneeded to address the overall questions posed for theeffort: What were the NAS schools like before theyimplemented the designs? How have the designs and theassistance they provide evolved over time? Are the criticalcomponents of the NAS designs being implemented acrossa wide array of schools? Do the NAS designs extendbeyond changes in school organization and governanceand permeate classrooms to change curriculum andinstruction? Over time, what is the progress of the schoolsbeing assisted by NAS design teams in improving studentand school performance? Also described is RAND'sanalysis of the baseline characteristics—demographics,climate, and test scores—of NAS schools in the earlyimplementation stages of the scale-up phase, an analysisthat sought to answer the first of the overall questions:What were the NAS schools like before they implementedthe designs?

and may not have taken into consideration effects on othercomponents. This report sets forth a set of principles tohelp force planners and programmers recognize theimplications for the cost, effectiveness, sustainability, andpopular and political support of military forces. Aframework is provided for integrating the range ofconsiderations that decisionmakers face and for gainingperspective on the arguments voiced by interest groupswho hope to influence the force mix. The authors find thatcost considerations can cut in opposite directionsdepending on whether the force is being optimized formajor theater war preparedness or for peacetimecontingency operations.

MR-1092-CAPP The Shape of Korea's Future: SouthKorean Attitudes Toward Unification and Long-TermSecurity Issues. N. D. Levin, Y. Han. 1999.

South Koreans are moving beyond both the historical andCold War legacies in their thinking about Korea's long-time security. This major conclusion, which emerges fromthis report analyzing South Korean attitudes towardunification and long-term security issues, is bolstered byadditional findings suggesting potentially significantmovement in almost all areas of South Korea's traditionalsecurity perspectives. This includes significantly reducedSouth Korean security anxieties and increased confidencein Korea's place in the regional and global orders. It alsoincludes greater hesitance about reunification, markedlyaltered attitudes toward Japan, increased discernmentabout the role of the U.S.-Republic of Korea (ROK)alliance, and heightened uncertainty about the long-termvalue of the U.S. regional military presence. Such attitudescould have important implications for both U.S. policy andU.S.-ROK security relations.

MR-1095-MF Sending Your Government a Message:E-Mail Communication Between Citizens andGovernment. C. R. Neu, R. H. Anderson, T. K. Bikson.1999.

In 1995, RAND published a book exploring the feasibilityand societal implications of providing "universal" accessto electronic mail within the United States (Robert H.Anderson et al., Universal Access to E-Mail: Feasibilityand Societal Implications, MR-650-MF). Among the ninepolicy conclusions and recommendations in that reportwere these: It is critical that electronic mail be a basicservice in a national information infrastructure; it isimportant to reduce the increasing gaps in access to basicelectronic information services, specifically, access toelectronic mail services; there are no fundamentaltechnical barriers to providing universal access toelectronic mail services. This book explores the possibilityfor expanded citizen-government personalized electroniccommunication. Of particular interest are interactionsbetween government agencies and individual citizens—

interactions involving personal information, iteratedcommunications between an individual and a governmentagency, and the use of a personal electronic mailbox forthe individual. It provides an informal survey of currentstate uses of such communication, supplemented by twocase studies of potential use. It also uses 1997 CurrentPopulation Survey data to update the electronic accesstrends in the United States that were highlighted in the1995 study.

MR-1101-OSTP Needs and Prospects for Crime-Fighting Technology: The Federal Role in Assisting Stateand Local Law Enforcement. W. Schwabe. 1999.

Most policing in the United States is done by lawenforcement agencies at the local level. Although mostAmericans prefer that policing be controlled locally, thereis considerable support for federal help in funding police.One area in which federal funding has been seen as usefulis in the development, testing, and implementation ofimproved technology. An initiative proposed by theClinton administration would increase funding of state andlocal law enforcement, with emphasis on technologyassistance, technology deployment, crime labimprovements, and training. This report providesinformation on the current status in each of these, givesexamples of what has been accomplished, and suggestsprospects for improvements.

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) andthe Department of Defense (DoD) are testing thefeasibility of making Medicare-covered health careservices available to Medicare-eligible DoD beneficiariesin the TRICARE program at military treatment facilities(MTFs). This report evaluates the early implementation ofTRICARE Senior Prime at six MTFs, financed bysubvention (the transfer of funds from HCFA to DoD). Itfinds that enrollment rates in Senior Prime were faster thanin many private health plans and beneficiaries weregenerally pleased with their care. However, sites arehaving difficulties caused by the complexity of paymentmethods and by uncertainty over whether they will eversee Senior Prime revenues—even if DoD obtains netpayments from HCFA after each year's reconciliation. If alarger Senior Prime program becomes a permanent part of

Page 89: Selected RAND Abstracts - CiteSeerX

80

TRICARE, the following policy issues must be addressed:(1) balancing interactions between the readiness missionand Senior Prime; (2) structuring and managing SeniorPrime effectively; (3) creating the desired financialincentives; and (4) achieving effective clinical and costperformance. Lessons learned include the importance ofeffective introduction of the program and orientation ofbeneficiaries; early identification of enrollees with existingtreatment requirements; the importance of coordination ofintake activities and follow-up visits; and the difficultymany beneficiaries have with automated appointment andcustomer service systems. In addition, DoD's health datasystem capabilities will need to be improved.

MR-1109-MF Citizens, Computers, and Connectivity:A Review of Trends. T. K. Bikson, C. W. A. Panis. 1999.

As computer and Internet use have grown dramatically,access gaps have widened rather than narrowed in theUnited States. This report uses Current Population Surveydata from 1997 to update trends in computers andconnectivity since an earlier 1995 study. It finds that thereis a continuing "digital divide" between those who do anddo not have access to computers and communicationtechnologies. The division is significantly predicted byincome, education, race/ethnicity, and—to a lesserextent—age, location, and possibly gender. The disparitieshave persisted over a period in which the technologies ofinterest have decreased dramatically in price (relative towhat they can do) and increased markedly in userfriendliness. Sizable demographic subgroups that remainon the wrong side of the digital divide may be deprived ofthe benefits associated with citizenship in an informationsociety.

MR-1115-OSTP U.S. Government Funding ofCooperative Research and Development in NorthAmerica. C. S. Wagner, N. Berstein. 1999.

Since 1993, U.S. government agencies have spent, onaverage, more than $100 million a year on research anddevelopment projects involving the participation ofresearchers from Canada and/or Mexico. These activitieshave been focused primarily on environmental,agricultural, and earth sciences, as well as biomedical andgenetic research. The U.S. government's R&D relationshipwith these two countries, while having common scientificinterests, differs in character: The R&D relationship withCanada has the quality of a partnership between equals. Incontrast, the relationship with Mexico, while sound andgrowing, is not an equal exchange, being more formal andhaving more one-way transfer of information and

assistance. Moreover, while the U.S. has an activecooperative relationship with Canada in both defense andspace R&D (the areas where the U.S. spends the majorityof its research funds), there is little of this type of activitywith Mexico. A three-way science and technologyfoundation or commission could provide support toenhanced cooperation.

MR-1116-OSD Interagency and InternationalAssignments and Officer Career Management. H. Thie,M. C. Harrell, R. M. Emmerichs. 1999.

At the request of Congress to the Secretary of Defense,RAND undertook a study on the advisability andfeasibility of a cadre of officers whose assignments andschooling would be managed so as to ensure a viablecareer track in which the officers would serve ininteragency and international assignments. This reportpresents the results of the study. It (1) identifiesapproximately 330 such assignments at the policy leveland an additional 1200 positions at the otherorganizational levels; (2) develops four careermanagement models that are variations of the due-coursemodel—"managing leader succession," "managingcompetencies," "managing skills," and "managing theexception"; (3) looks at the feasibility of each careermodel at the level of the officer personnel managementsystem as a whole and at the level of officer career tracks;and (4) assesses the advisability of the models from theperspective of the individual officer, the interagency andinternational organization to which the officer is assigned,and the officer's military service. It finds that all fourmodels are feasible. No one model can be consideredbetter per se—a model's advisability depends on thepriority assigned to given perspectives and objectives.When all perspectives and objectives are weightedequally, however, a career model that manages leadersuccession or manages competencies is preferred overall.

MR-1128-OSD Taiwan's National Security, DefensePolicy and Weapons Procurement Process. M. Swaine.1999.

This report examines Taiwan's national securitydecisionmaking structure and process and the primaryfactors guiding its defense strategy, force structure, andmilitary procurement decisions. It attempts to explain themotives and interests determining Taiwan's nationalsecurity policy and defense plans and its decisions toacquire major weapons and related support systems fromforeign sources, including the United States. The authorhas determined that Taiwan's national security policyprocess is poorly coordinated, both within the top levels ofthe senior leadership and between the civilian and militaryelite. As a result, Taiwan lacks a strategy that can integrateand guide its foreign and defense policies. He alsoconcludes that Taiwan's defense policy and procurement

Page 90: Selected RAND Abstracts - CiteSeerX

81

decisionmaking process are significantly influenced by avariety of non-military criteria that complicate efforts toascertain the motives and objectives of Taiwan's requestsfor U.S. arms and call into question Taiwan's ability toeffectively absorb such arms. He recommends that theUnited States continue to acquire more and betterinformation about Taiwan's strengths and weaknesses inthese areas and especially to more accurately assessTaiwan's requests for military sales from the United States.He also recommends that the United States (1) avoidproviding arms and assistance to Taiwan in ways thatprovoke greater tension with China without appreciablyimproving Taiwan's defense capabilities, (2) continue tostrengthen contacts with the ROC military but avoidinteracting with the Taiwan armed forces in a way thatsuggests the establishment of joint U.S.-Taiwanoperational capabilities, and (3) develop and maintainclose contacts with Taiwan's key decisionmakers.

MR-1129.0-WFHF/RF/UNFPA/NIA/NICHD TheImportance of International Demographic Research for theUnited States. N. M. Sastry. 1999.

International demographic research has generatedenormous benefits for the U.S. This report identifies fivemajor reasons for these benefits. First, cross-nationalresearch provides unique policy insights that allow theU.S. to develop more effective programs and policies toaddress pressing and persistent domestic challenges.Second, it helps the U.S. to understand and addressproblems and issues in many countries or regions of theworld that are of particular relevance to the U.S. becauseof their strategic or commercial importance. Third, it helpsthe U.S. to address problems and issues that are global innature and require international policy responses. Fourth,it helps the U.S. to provide humanitarian aid to poorcountries more effectively and efficiently. Finally, itcontributes to the advancement of science, which in turnstimulates and enriches research focusing on the U.S.

MR-1134-ICJ The Effects of a Choice AutomobileInsurance Plan on Insurance Costs and Compensation: AnAnalysis Based on 1997 Data. S. J. Carroll, A. F.Abrahamse. 1999.

"Choice" auto insurance gives drivers the option ofselecting either a somewhat modified version of theirstate's current auto insurance plan or a no-fault plan. Usingthe same analytical methods as in their two previousstudies on the same subject (MR-540-ICJ, based on 1987data; and MR-970-ICJ, based on 1992 data), the authorsestimated the effects of a choice automobile insuranceplan on the costs of compensating auto accident victims.They find the choice plan can deliver on its promise ofoffering dramatically less expensive insurance to driverswho are willing to give up access to compensation fornoneconomic loss by purchasing no-fault insurance, with

little effect on those who want to retain access tocompensation for both economic and noneconomic loss. Ifinsurers pass on cost savings, the adoption of a choice plancould translate into savings on total premiums of about 23percent for purchasers of no-fault insurance. Becauseclaims behavior has varied over the years, these savingsare greater than the authors' estimate based on 1992 data,but not as large as the savings based on 1987 data.

MR-1158-CIRREF Uterine Artery Embolization: ASystematic Review of the Literature and Proposal forResearch. M. Broder, K. Harris, S. C. Morton, C. D.Sherbourne, R. H. Brook. 1999.

The benign tumors known as uterine leiomyomata are acommon cause of significant, often disabling symptomsamong women. For women whose symptoms are notcontrolled by hormones or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatorydrugs, surgery—hysterectomy or myomectomy—isrequired. Over the long term, about 10 percent of womenwho have had a myomectomy will later requirehysterectomy to control bleeding. Uterine arteryembolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive radiologictechnique for reducing symptoms caused by uterineleiomyomata. A literature review revealed that the short-term results for UAE are roughly comparable with thosefor abdominal myomectomy, and the risks of UAE aresimilar to those of more-established procedures. Based onthe recommendations of the ten-member expert panelconvened to examine the literature review, the reportconcludes that the current data on UAE, while promising,are inadequate to recommend its use outside of clinicaltrials. A randomized, controlled trial with carefulmeasurement of short- and long-term outcomes is crucialto establish the comparative risks and benefits of UAE,myomectomy, and hysterectomy. In addition, the panelrecommended careful study of the costs of UAE and theestablishment of a registry of patients undergoing UAE toprovide nonexperimental data on the procedure.

RP-726 The Economics of Fertility in DevelopedCountries: A Survey. V. J. Hotz, J. A. Klerman, R. J.Willis. 1999.

This chapter of the Handbook of Population and FamilyEconomics surveys the intellectual development andempirical implications of the literature on the economicsof fertility as it applies to fertility behavior in developedeconomies. From both static and dynamic perspectives, thepaper reviews the relevant theory and empirical work. Thetheoretical discussion emphasizes the attempt to explain

household fertility behavior in terms of the choice-theoretic framework of neoclassical economics. Theempirical discussion focuses on strategies for approachingthe identification problem in estimating the relationsimplied by the theory—the effects on fertility ofexogenous changes in prices, income, and technology.

RP-730 Development of a Quality of CareMeasurement System for Children and Adolescents:Methodological Considerations and Comparisons with aSystem for Adult Women. M. A. Schuster, S. M. Asch, E.A. McGlynn, E. A. Kerr, A. M. Hardy, D. S. Gifford.1999.

This work describes the development of a pediatric qualityof care measurement system designed to cover multipleclinical topics that could be applied to enrollees inmanaged care organizations and to compare thedevelopment of this system with the concurrentdevelopment of a similar system for adult women.Indicators were developed for 21 pediatric (ages 0–18)years) clinical topics and 20 adult (ages 17-50 years)women's clinical topics. Indicators were classified by thestrength of evidence supporting them. Of 557 pediatric and391 adult women's proposed indicators, 453 (81%) and340 (87%), respectively, were retained by the two expertpanels. This study contributes to the field of pediatricquality of care assessment by providing many moreindicators than have been available previously and bydocumenting the strength of evidence supporting theseindicators. Formal consensus methods are essential for thedevelopment of pediatric quality measures because theevidence base for pediatric care is more limited than foradult care.

RP-738 Welfare Background, Attitudes, andEmployment Among New Mothers. L. Greenwell, A. A.Leibowitz, J. A. Klerman. 1999.

This article investigates whether new mothers' chances ofbeing employed appear to be influenced by anintergenerationally transmitted welfare culture. Data fromthe National Longitudinal Survey of Youth are analyzedusing logit and ordinary least squares regression. Thefindings show that, as adolescents, new mothers withwelfare backgrounds were more willing than others to usewelfare but were no less likely to have positive attitudestoward work. Adolescents' work attitudes influence theirchances of being employed when they are new mothers,but adolescents' welfare attitudes do not. These resultssuggest that new mothers' chances of being employed arenot influenced by an intergenerationally transmittedwelfare culture. (Reprinted from Journal of Marriage andthe Family.

RP-745 The Effect of Allowing Motorists to Opt Outof Tort Law in the United States. J. O'Connell, S. J.Carroll, A. F. Abrahamse, M. J. Horowitz, A. Karan.1999.

As applied to U.S. traffic accidents, both tort law and no-fault law are often attacked. A proposed solution wouldallow motorists to choose an option bypassing theinadequacies of both tort law and current U.S. no-faultlaws. Actuarial estimates indicate large savings availableto motorists so choosing. But as time goes on, the savingsare diminished as low required limits of coverage in theU.S. meet inflation, leading not only to admittedlylessened savings but also to the anomaly of more and moremotorists in non no-fault states pursuing tort rights foronly economic losses.

RP-749 Urban-Rural Differences in Employer-BasedHealth Insurance Coverage of Workers. A. F. Coburn, E.H. Kilbreth, S. H. Long, M. S. Marquis. 1999.

Prior research indicates that rural workers are less likelythan urban workers to obtain health insurance coveragethrough their employers. The reasons for this differentialin coverage rates are not well understood. This study usesdata from the 1993 Robert Wood Johnson FoundationEmployer Health Insurance Survey to measure differencesin the proportion of rural and urban workers who areoffered insurance coverage, in their participation rates inoffered plans, to assess the effects of firm size, wages, andother factors in explaining residential differences. Offerrates and participation rates are both lower in rural areas,but the probability of employer-based coverage amongrural workers rises to that of urban workers when ruralfirm size and wages are adjusted to urban levels. Ruralfirms and workers are not behaviorally different fromurban firms and workers—just at a greater disadvantagebecause of their smaller size and lower wages (Reprintedfrom Medical Care Research and Review.

RP-750 Beyond Single Mothers: Cohabitation andMarriage in the AFDC Program. R. A. Moffitt, R. T.Reville, A. E. Winkler. 1999.

This study investigates the extent and implications ofcohabitation and marriage among U.S. welfare recipients.An analysis of four data sets (Current Population Survey,National Survey of Families and Households, Panel Studyof Income Dynamics, National Longitudinal Survey ofYouth) shows significant number of cohabitants amongrecipients of AFDC. An even more surprising finding isthe large number of married women on welfare. The studyalso reports the results of a telephone survey of stateAFDC agencies conducted to determine state rulesgoverning cohabitation and marriage. The survey resultsindicate that, in a number of respects, AFDC rules

encourage cohabitation. Finally, the study conducts ananalysis of the impact of AFDC rules on cohabitation,marriage and single motherhood and finds weak evidencein support of incentives to cohabit. (Reprinted fromDemography. Vol. 35, No. 3. Aug. 1998.)

RP-751 How Good Is the Quality of Health Care inthe United States? M. A. Schuster, E. A. McGlynn, R. H.Brook. 1999.

In September 1998, the Advisory Commission onConsumer Protection and Quality in the Health CareIndustry released its final report on how to define,measure, and promote quality of health care. With neworganizational structures and reimbursement strategies thatmay affect quality of care, the health care system hasundergone a dramatic transformation. Concerns aboutpotentially negative consequences prompted a movementto assure that quality will not be sacrificed to control costs.This study reviews the academic literature on quality ofcare in the U.S. and provides an overview of quality ofcare delivery across diverse settings, conditions, anddemographic groups. Quality of care in the U.S. variesamong hospitals, cities, and states, some of it outstanding,but much of it not meeting professional standards. Asystematic strategy for routine monitoring and reportingon quality is essential to preserve quality and to improveefficiency of high-quality health services. (Reprinted fromMilbank Quarterly.

RP-752 Velocity Management and the Revolution inMilitary Logistics. T. J. Edwards, R. Eden. 1999.

When General Reimer identified the Revolution inMilitary Logistics (RML) as a necessary precondition ofthe revolution in military affairs (RMA) , he issued achallenge to the Army logistics community. Yet recentstudies of the RMA express little hope for delivering anRML, at least in the near term. This study suggests thatRML can be achieved without waiting for the Army tofield new major weapons systems. The Army can deliverRML quickly and affordably by focusing on the dramaticand continuous improvement of today's key logisticsprocesses, which in turn help reduce the need for massivelogistics resources. This improvement effort, called theVelocity Management (VM) Initiative, has been underway since January 1995, with remarkable success. Chiefof Staff Reimer was right about the dependence of theRMA on an RML: dramatic process improvement underthe VM initiative is a key enabler of the Revolution inMilitary Logistics.

Wood, N. Duan, R. M. Mazel, C. D. Sherbourne, N.Halfon. 1999.

This study evaluates a case management/home visitationintervention to improve access to and utilization of well-child care (WCC) visits, through use of randomized,controlled trials with baseline and follow-up interviewsurveys. Mothers and infants in the intervention groupwere assigned case managers who made at least four homevisits during the infantUs first year of life. The groupconsisted of a population-based random sample ofAfrican-American mothers of newborns from SouthCentral Los Angeles: 185 mothers in the interventiongroup and 180 in the control group completed bothinterview surveys. There was little change in the overalldistribution of number of WCC visits during the first yearof life. In light of the high expense of this intervention,this evaluation shows that a moderate-intensity casemanagement and home visitation program is not aneffective way to increase the number of WCC visits.(Reprinted from Pediatrics.

RP-754 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Parity:A Case Study of Ohio's State Employee Program. R.Sturm, W. Goldman, J. McCulloch. 1999.

In the United States, insurance benefits for treatingalcohol, drug abuse and mental health (ADM) problemshave been much more limited than medical care benefits.To change that situation, more than 30 states wereconsidering legislation that requires equal benefits forADM and medical care ('parity') in the past year.Uncertainty about the cost consequences of such proposedlegislation remains a major stumbling block. Noinformation is available about the actual experience ofimplementing parity benefits under managed care or theeffects on access to care and utilization. Ohio's experiencewith adopting full parity for ADM care within its stateemployee program is examined, using data from 1987 to1997. The Ohio state case study demonstrates that paritylevel benefits for ADM care are affordable under managedcare. The next step is to address quality of care or healthoutcomes, two areas less understood than costs.(Reprinted from Journal of Mental Health Policy andEconomics. Vol. 1. 1998.)

RP-755 Risk Premiums for Environmental Liability:Does Superfund Increase the Cost of Capital? S. Garber,J. K. Hammitt. 1999.

Superfund liability may impose financial risk on investorsand thereby increase firms' costs of capital. Monthly stockreturns are analyzed for 73 chemical companies usingseveral measures of Superfund exposure. Additionalexposure appears to increase costs of capital for largerfirms, but perhaps not for smaller firms. From 1988 to1992, an average increase in the cost of capital is

estimated for 23 larger firms of between 0.25 to 0.40percentage points per year. The social cost of Superfund-related financial risk in the chemical industry may be ashigh as $800 million annually, or enough to clean up about20 sites.

RP-757 Fertility, Education and Resources in SouthAfrica. D. Thomas. 1999.

Population and education are likely to play a central rolein public policy in South Africa as it emerges fromapartheid. Household survey data are used to examinemechanisms that underlie the negative association betweenfertility and education. First, education is not randomlyassigned within a population. It is demonstrated that partof the association between education and fertility reflectsself-selection in educational achievement. Second, becauseeducation and household resources tend to be correlated, awoman's education may be a proxy for her income.Female education continues to have a powerful negativeassociation with fertility. A third set of experimentsattempts to isolate the relationship between skills learnedin school and demographic outcomes. Performance onquantitative and comprehension tests has an independentimpact on fertility. The impact of comprehension skills isparticularly large, suggesting that assimilation ofinformation may be important in affecting familydecisionmaking.

RP-758 Choosing and Evaluating ClinicalPerformance Measures. E. A. McGlynn. 1999.

The importance and utility of routine externally reportedassessments of the quality of health care delivered inmanaged care organizations and hospitals have becomewidely accepted. Because externally reported measures ofquality of health care are intended to inform or lead toaction, proposers of such measures have a responsibility toensure that the results of the measures are meaningful,scientifically sound, and interpretable. Increasedstandardization of both the expectations for public releaseon measures of quality and the criteria by which suchmeasures will be evaluated should contribute toimprovements in the larger field of quality assessment.(Reprinted from Joint Commission Journal on QualityImprovement.

complexity of events that produce the outcome; the degreeto which attribution can reasonably be made; thesuitability of risk adjustment for limiting external sourcesof variation; and the likelihood that the measure providesperverse behavioral incentives. Illustrative examples aregiven in each area for scoring the performance ofmeasures on the component. Outcomes measurement is ofgreat interest to a variety of potential users. The approachproposed here is intended to provoke discussion and morerigorous development of tools that will help identify themeasures likely to produce the most useful information formaking comparisons among accountable entities in thehealth system.

This study conducted a survey of 410 primary careproviders' depression-related practices to compare theknowledge and attitudes of staff or group-model managedcare organizations (MCOs) with those of network-modelMCOs. Knowledge was measured based on depressionguidelines and attitudes (beliefs about burden, skill, andbarriers) related to depression and reported behavior. Bothtypes of MCO providers are equally knowledgeable abouttreating depression, and perceive equivalent skills intreating depression. However, staff/group-model providershave stronger beliefs that treating depression isburdensome to their practice, whereas network modelproviders report limited access to mental health specialtyreferral as a barrier. Accordingly, although the staff/group-model MCOs had greater access to referrals, network-model organizations are more likely to treat depressionthemselves. Improving primary care for depression willrequire unique strategies beyond enhancing technicalknowledge for the two types of MCOs. (Reprinted fromJournal of General Internal Medicine.

RP-761 The Design of Partners in Care: Evaluatingthe Cost Effectiveness of Improving Care for Depressionin Primary Care. K. B. Wells. 1999.

This paper describes a study design that blends healthservices and clinical research approaches to examine thecost-effectiveness of treatments and of qualityimprovement for depression in primary care, managedcare practices. Six managed care organizations in LosAngeles (Calif.), San Antonio (Tex.), San Luis Valley(Colo.), Twin Cities (Minn.), and Columbia (Md.)participated. Primary care clinics were randomized to oneof two quality improvement interventions or care as usual.Interventions included patient and provider education,nurse-assisted patient assessment, and resources to support

appropriate medication management or access to cognitivebehavioral therapy. Practices implemented theinterventions with study support. Providers and patientsselected treatment. Patients with depressive symptomsregardless of comorbidities were eligible. Over 27,000primary care patients visiting the practices of 181 primarycare clinicians were screened for depression, 14% werepotentially eligible, and 1356 enrolled into the 2-yearlongitudinal study. Enrollees were similar to eligibles, butusual care clinic patients tended to be less severelydepressed than intervention clinic patients, partly due toclinic staff enthusiasm. The result of the study showed thatstudying treatment effects and quality improvement innonacademic settings is feasible, but requires relaxation ofdesign features of experiments that protect internalvalidity. The trade-off between certainty of causalinference and generalizability to usual care conditions arediscussed. The strengths and limitations of this studydesign are compared to those of clinical trials and recentclinical effectiveness studies. (Reprinted from SocialPsychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.

RP-762 Using Qualitative Methods to Study theHidden World of Offstreet Prostitution in Los AngelesCounty. J. Lever, D. E. Kanouse. 1999.

Female prostitutes are widely believed to play animportant role in the epidemiology of sexually transmitteddiseases (STDs), including HIV, because of their sexualactivity and because some female prostitutes inject drugsor have sex with men who do. Most studies of prostitutesrely on samples from jails, STD clinics, and methadonemaintenance programs, over-representing women whosolicit clients in off-street locales, and revealing nothingabout the size of sub-populations. The Los AngelesWomenUs Health Risk Study, relying on governmentagencies, directories and ethnographic informants forsource material, attempts to draw a probability sample ofprostitutes in a single major metropolitan area who workfrom indoor locations. After surveying that part of theoffstreet market for prostitution in Los Angeles that occursin locations known to have female commercialstreetwalkers available, the study concludes thatapproximately 4,000 women were involved at the time ofthe fieldwork.

later "hard" drug use when social bonds and a broad rangeof other personal and environmental variables arestatistically controlled. Family bonds and prior use wererelated to use. However, variables other than social bondsand prior use were equal or stronger predictors of bothoutcomes. Some differences were obtained across racialgroups: African-Americans were less likely to use illicitdrugs other than marijuana; Mexican-Americans weremore affected by family factors than were other groups;and Asian-Americans were more affected by schoolfailure. Implications for prevention are discussed.(Reprinted from Substance Use and Misuse. Vol. 34, No.3. 1999.)

Women, ethnic minorities and uninsured persons receivefewer cardiac procedures than affluent white male patientsdo, but rates of use are crude indicators of quality. Theimportant question is, do women, minorities, and theuninsured fail to receive cardiac procedures when theyneed them? To measure receipt of necessary coronaryartery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and percutaneoustransluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) overall bypatient sex, ethnicity, and payer status; and by availablityof on-site revascularization, a retrospective, randomizedmedical record review was conducted in 13 of the 24hospitals in New York City that provide cornonaryangiography. Although revascularization procedures aresubstantially underused, no variations in rate of use by sex,ethnic group, or payer status were seen among patientstreated in hospitals that provide CABG surgery and PTCA.However, underuse was significantly greater in hospitalsthat do not provide these procedures, particularly amonguninsured persons.

Methods used to construct a spatial-temporal samplingframe to recruit a probability sample of female streetprostitutes in the 4,000 square mile area of Los AngelesCounty are described. Of 164 potential street areas namedby informants or associated with marker establishments,111 were judged to have sufficient prostitution activity forinclusion in the study. Completed interviews wereobtained from 998 prostitutes, 638 of whom also gaveblood samples, representing 85% of those from whom ablood sample was sought. Field results indicate thatprobability sampling techniques can be successfully usedto study street prostitutes. The authors believe the sample

areas identified account for most of the street prostitutionin Los Angeles County. The response rate is within therange of 61 percent, assuming all women who refusedscreening or denied eligibility were simply refusing toparticipate, to 89 percent, if all such women were in factineligible.

The main goal of the Consumer Assessments of HealthPlans Study (CAHPS), which benefits from thecomplementary strengths of psychometric and cognitivetesting, is to develop an integrated set of tested,standardized surveys to obtain meaningful informationfrom health plan enrollees about their experiences. TheCAHPS team conducted 150 cognitive interviews acrossthree organizations in different geographic locations usingmultiple interview methods with different consumerpopulations. Results show that a modified format is moreappropriate when asking about specific aspects of planenrollees' experiences, whereas a rating format is usefulfor asking about overall assessments. Specifying a longerreference period is preferable to asking about the mostrecent visit when capturing experiences with care. Thestudy concludes that cognitive testing was integral todeveloping and refining the CAHPS instrument, capturingconsumers' health care and plan experiences with lessresponse error than one not subjected to such testing.(Reprinted from Medical Care.

The Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Study(CAHPS) is intended to develop an integrated,standardized set of surveys to collect valid informationabout health plan performance from consumers. Thisarticle reports psychometric results for the CAHPS 1.0survey items in individuals with Medicaid or privatehealth insurance coverage. Reliability estimates forCAHPS 1.0 measures were estimated in a sample of 5,878persons on Medicaid and 11,393 persons with privatehealth insurance. Correlation of CAHPS global rating ofhealth plans with willingness to recommend the plan andintention to re-enroll were estimated in 313 persons onMedicaid. CAHPS measures appeared to have goodreliability, particularly at the health plan level. Globalhealth plan rating was significantly correlated withconsumers' willingness to recommend the plan to familyand friends and to their intention to re-enroll in the plan.

The goal of the CAHPS (Consumer Assessment of HealthPlans) team was to design a series of reporting productsthat present survey results so that consumers findunderstandable and meaningful information in choosinghealth plans. Reporting was based on previous research onconsumers' information interests and needs in choosingamong plans. Cognitive tests were conducted withconsumers to get their reactions to mock-ups ofapproaches to reporting CAHPS survey results. Findingsfrom previous research and cognitive testing, and feedbackfrom experts and the public, were used to modify surveyquestions, response options, and reporting formats to makeit easier for consumers to understand and use reports. Thestudy concluded that the CAHPS focus on reportingresults to consumers presented an unusual challenge forsurvey design, requiring close coordination betweeninstrument design and report development to produce asurvey and reporting kit that serves consumers'information needs.

RP-771 Comparing Telephone and Mail Responses tothe CAHPS Survey Instrument. F. J. Fowler, P. M.Gallagher, S. E. Nederend. 1999.

The objective of the Consumer Assessment of HealthPlans (CAHPS) survey was to evaluate the comparabilityof answers to CAHPS questions when data are collectedby mail and by telephone. Two studies comparing phoneand mail responses used parallel samples of Medicaidbeneficiaries in California, and adults with chronicconditions who had health insurance through the State ofWashington. A third study used a revised instrument. Inthe first two tests, numerous significant differences werefound in rates at which questions that might not apply toall respondents were answered: some ratings were morepositive on the telephone. In the test of a revisedinstrument, nine of 58 comparisons differed significantlyby mode. Although further steps to reduce the remainingmode effects are needed, data indicate that when therevised CAHPS questions are used, mode of datacollection will have little effect on key results.

To meet its goal of providing comparative planinformation to Medicare beneficiaries, the Health CareFinancing Administration invested in developing theConsumer Assessments of Health Plans Study (CAHPS)survey of beneficiary enrollees in Medicare Managed Care(MMC) plans. This article describes the process throughwhich the MMC survey was developed, and examinesissues in using this Medicare beneficiary survey that haveimplications for all CAHPS surveys. Cognitive interviewsand a field test were conducted with Medicarebeneficiaries. A sample of individuals was selected fromsix health plans. The use of screening questions, skipinstructions, and tailored "not applicable" response optionsappeared to facilitate the response task. Some CAHPSaccess questions were not meaningful to Medicarebeneficiaries. Data do not support the need to adjust forlength of plan enrollment. Analyses suggested changes toimprove the MMC survey and to make other CAHPSsurveys consistent with these changes. (Reprinted fromMedical Care. Vol. 37, No. 3, Supplement. 1999.)

The study describes the process used to develop and testsurvey items targeted to Medicaid consumers for theConsumer Assessment of Health Plans Study (CAHPS).The study also highlights challenges in locating andsurveying Medicaid recipients, and providesrecommendations for increasing response rates. Focusgroups and cognitive interviews were conducted. TheMedicaid survey was field-tested. Concepts irrelevant toMedicaid consumers or that consumers were unable toaccurately attribute were discarded. New concepts ofhealth care experiences of Medicaid consumers wereadded. Item wording and format were refined based onfindings from focus groups, cognitive testing, the field testand a literature review. Testing and formatting efforts, incombination with a formal literature review, led to thedevelopment of a questionnaire that measures importanthealth care experiences of Medicaid consumers in a"respondent-friendly" format. The recommendations forsurveying Medicaid recipients can benefit any survey of aMedicaid population. (Reprinted from Medical Care. Vol.37, No. 3, Supplement. 1999.)

1.0 survey instruments into Spanish and techniques used toevaluate these instruments. The CAHPS team used atechnique of translation-backtranslation, and conductedcognitive testing and pre-testing of preliminary versions inboth English and Spanish. The translation-backtranslationmethod produced Spanish-language versions adequate formore educated respondents but inadequate for lesseducated and less acculturated respondents. Producing asurvey instrument culturally appropriate for Latinos in theUnited States may require modifying English versions ofthe instruments, as well as subjecting Spanish-languageinstruments to more rigorous testing that includescognitive testing, pre-testing, and an evaluation of readinglevel by a literacy expert.

Many organizations began to implement the ConsumerAssessment of Health Plans Study (CAHPS) in 1997 toobtain meaningful information from health plan enrollees.This article reports on early findings from evaluations ofthree demonstration sites' experiences using CAHPS, anddiscusses plans for future demonstrations and evaluations.Process evaluation included on-site interviews, off-sitedocument review, and focus groups with consumers. Thereare four early results from the CAHPS demonstrations: theCAHPS survey covers topics important to sponsors, is ofreasonable length, and can be administered quickly; reporttemplates are used effectively but sponsors vary in theirpreferences for summarizing and presenting CAHPSratings; CAHPS sponsors value standardized products butemphasize the need for further development; and CAHPSsurveys may be affordable only for large sponsors. Thestudy concludes that the first round of CAHPSdemonstrations highlighted strengths of the integratedsurveys, and identified areas for improving products andtheir implementation.

RP-776 U.S. Policy Toward Cyprus and the EasternMediterranean: Changing Strategic Perspectives After theCold War. F. S. Larrabee. 1999.

The Cyprus issue has been a problem for the United Statesfor the last forty years. Failure to pay attention to Cyprusled to major crises during the Cold War, especially the1974 crisis, resulting in Greece's temporary withdrawalfrom NATO's military command and significantdeterioration of US relations with Greece and Turkey.Cyprus remains a potential threat to stability in the EasternMediterranean, which could lead to renewed confrontationbetween Greece and Turkey, threatening security in theMediterranean and possibly spilling into other areas,

particularly the Balkans. Prospects for settlement of theCyprus issue remain dim, primarily because of thedomestic situation in Turkey, and the EU's decision tokeep Turkey off its list of countries for accessionnegotiations. Until the EU develops a coherent, long-term,integrated strategy toward Turkey and Cyprus, chances fora political settlement of the Cyprus issue remain poor.

RP-777 Toward a Psychology of Harm Reduction. R.J. MacCoun. 1999.

This article discusses three different strategies for dealingwith the harmful consequences of drug use and other riskybehaviors: People can be discouraged from engaging inthe behavior (prevalence reduction), people can beencouraged to reduce the frequency or extent of thebehavior (quantity reduction), or the harmfulconsequences of the behavior can be reduced (harmreduction). These strategies are not mutually exclusive;this article offers a framework for integrating them. Theframework is useful for examining frequent claims thatharm reduction "sends the wrong message." Opposition toharm reduction is based in part on a recognition ofpotential trade-offs among the strategies, but it is alsofueled by several more symbolic psychological factors.Strategies for successfully integrating prevalencereduction, quantity reduction, and harm reduction areexplored.

RP-779 The Relationship Between Infant and ChildMortality and Subsequent Fertility in Indonesia, 1971-1991. E. Frankenberg. 1999.

The idea that mortality decline precipitates fertility declineis a linchpin of demographic transition theory. At theaggregate level, two questions have focused on thedemographic future of developing countries: Wouldfertility declines accompany mortality declines? Howwould population growth rates change as mortalitydeclined? Stimulating interest at the family level is thenotion that a couple's fertility is in part a product of themortality environment in which they are building a family.Study results show that for certain groups of women, a

Itis unlikely that they have serious implications forcompleted levels of fertility or contribute to poor healthfor mothers or their offspring.

RP-780 Greek Security Concerns in the Balkans. F.S. Larrabee. 1999.

Historically, Greece's security has been closely tied tosecurity in the Balkans. As a small country on itsperiphery, instability and unrest in the Balkans have haddirect, and often significant, repercussions for Greece'sown security, as the collapse of the former Yugoslaviadramatically demonstrated. As a result, Greece has beenone of the leading proponents of increased regionalcooperation in the area. The end of the Cold War and thecollapse of Yugoslavia greatly complicated Greece'ssecurity dilemmas and forced Greece to forge a newBalkan policy. This chapter examines Greek securitypolicy in the Balkans since the end of the Cold War.Greek-Turkish rivalry creates serious difficulties inGreece's relations with its Western allies. Unless Greece isable to find a way to resolve its differences with Turkey,security in the Balkans will remain a chimera and Greece'sability to play a stabilizing role in the region will remainimpaired.

RP-784 HIV and People with Serious Mental Illness:The Public Sector's Role in Reducing HIV Risk andImproving Care. G. Sullivan, P. Koegel, D. E. Kanouse,F. Cournos, K. McKinnon, A. S. Young, D. L. Bean.1999.

This paper discusses detection, prevention of transmission,and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection among persons with serious mental illness, andsuggests ways public mental health systems can addressthese issues. Pertinent references from 1990 through 1998MEDLINE searches were reviewed. Persons with severemental illness are at greatly increased risk of HIVinfection due to increased likelihood of high-risk sexualbehaviors and injection drug use. Formidable barriers todetection and effective treatment of HIV in this populationcan be attributed to its unique characteristics, lack ofknowledge among mental and physical health careproviders, and fragmented mental and physical health caresystems. In the last five years, more effective treatmentsfor HIV have become available. Public mental healthsystems need to implement active prevention practices,educate health care providers about key treatment issues,and develop effective linkages between mental andphysical health care providers and systems.

RP-786 NATO Enlargement After the First Round.F. S. Larrabee. 1999.

Together with the future enlargement of the EuropeanUnion, the integration of Hungary, Poland, and the CzechRepublic into NATO will significantly diminish theprospect that Central Europe will again become a sourceof international tension and geopolitical rivalry. However,the entry of these three countries into NATO does not endthe process of enlargement. At the Madrid Summit, theAlliance agreed to maintain an "open door" to newmembers. This raises new policy dilemmas for NATO,from who should next be invited to join, when thatinvitation should be issued, what effect furtherenlargement will have on NATO cohesion and militaryeffectiveness, and most important, how enlargementcontributes to NATO's overall transformation and newmissions. Many factors argue for a deliberate, measuredapproach to further enlargement, one that gives NATOtime to sort out its strategic priorities. At the same time,NATO needs to enhance the credibility of the open doorby identifying concrete steps that will ensure that the doortruly remains open. (Reprinted from The InternationalSpectator.

RP-787 Merchants and Guardians: Balancing U.S.Interests in Space Commerce. S. Pace. 1999.

Current challenges for space policy are examined in thisstudy, particularly those derived from the growth of spacecommerce and resulting conflicts between public andprivate sector interests. After a review of old and newvisions of space development, a model for policy conflictis introduced using the terms "Merchants" and"Guardians" to describe the differing objectives of publicand private sector interests. Conflicts over dual-usetechnologies, such as space launch, remote sensing,satellite navigation, and communications are described,along with special implications for military space policy.The study concludes that various internationalorganizations, such as the ITU and the WTO, will be ofgreater importance to space policy than in the past. Whilemaintaining their separate roles, industry and governmentwill have greater need to collaborate in shaping theinternational environment for space policy in order toachieve their economic and security objectives.

sectional data from Wave I (1992) of the Health andRetirement Study (HRS) were performed. A global indexof functional status based on self-reported limitations in 17activities was measured. Approximately 3% ofrespondents rated their vision or hearing as poor. Evenafter controlling for demographic factors, socioeconomicstatus, medical conditions, and general health status,limitations in both vision and hearing were independentlycorrelated with worse functional status. The magnitude ofeffect of poor vision exceeded all medical conditionsexcept stroke. The study concludes that visual and hearingimpairment appear to have a significant relationship withoverall functional status, among even community-dwelling, middle-aged Americans and even aftercontrolling for general health status, medicalcomorbidities, and socioeconomic status.

RP-790 Conducting Collaborative Research withNontraditional Suppliers. K. P. Horn, E. I. Axelband, I. Y.Chang, P. Steinberg, C. Wong, H. Yee. 1999.

To maintain its technological edge, the Army spentapproximately $1 billion in FY96 in basic exploratorydevelopment and advanced development research. Despitethis outlay of money, the Army is facing constraints inmaintaining its technological edge. The study examinedpromising options for the Army to consider in conductingcollaborative research with nontraditional suppliers(NTSs). In 1989, Congress authorized cooperativeagreements (CAs) for use by the military services and theDefense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)as alternative mechanisms for conducting research anddevelopment, and also authorized other transactions(OTs). Although OTs are promising options forconducting collaborative research with NTSs, the Serviceshave not yet opted for them. CAs will not achievegovernment objectives; OTs are needed to attract NTSs.The Army Materiel Command (AMC) is beginning toexplore using OTs, but to reach the most promisingcompanies and realize gains, the Army must continue tomove in this direction.

RP-791 An Approach for Efficiently Managing DoDResearch and Development Portfolios. C. Wong, P.Steinberg, K. P. Horn, E. I. Axelband. 1999.

Managing Department of Defense (DoD) research anddevelopment (R&D) portfolios is a challenging task today.Not only do defense R&D managers have limitedresources to spend on pursuing new technologies, but thereis also an active civil and commercial market for sometechnologies the DoD is interested in. How can the DoDbetter understand what areas it must pursue on its own andwhat areas it might be better off collaborating with non-DoD organizations? This article presents a straightforward

approach for managing DoD R&D portfolios that can helpDoD managers understand how their R&D efforts areallocated, and how they might more efficiently managethem to take advantage of scarce resources andtechnological capabilities elsewhere. After describing theapproach, the authors illustrate it using the example of thebasic research technologies' part of the U.S. Army's R&Dportfolio. (Reprinted from Acquisition Review. Vol. 5, No.4.

This paper compares community rating with experiencerating for small businesses using a microsimulation modelto determine what firms offer and who within these firmspurchase insurance. The authors generate four years ofdata and find that their results are remarkably stablethrough time. Both offer and purchase rates are about fivepercentage points higher under experience rating, butcommunity rating leads to more stable offerings. Undercommunity rating, high-risk firms and families purchaseinsurance, whereas under experience rating, it is the low-risk firms and families who are the purchasers. Youngfamilies and poor families have the lowest purchase rates,with these rates being disproportionately low undercommunity rating. (Reprinted from Inquiry. Vol. 36, No.1. Spring 1999.)

diverse. The foreign policy agenda has also expanded.Turkish interests are now more global. The deteriorationof Turkey's relations with the European Union, and theworsening outlook for full membership has spurred an"agonizing reappraisal" of Turkey's interests in relation tothe West. At the same time, changes in Eurasia and theMiddle East, and new political currents in Turkey, haveraised interest in foreign policy opportunities to the eastand south. Do these non-Western orientations offer a validalternative to Turkey's traditional foreign and securitypolicy orientation? This analysis explores that question inlight of new realities in Turkey's domestic and externalenvironment. (Reprinted from The InternationalSpectator. Vol. XXXIV, No. 1. Jan.-Mar. 1999.)

RP-796 Quality of Life Among Women UndergoingHysterectomies. M. K. Rowe, D. E. Kanouse, B. S.Mittman, S. Bernstein. 1999.

This study measured the association between gynecologicconditions and quality of life in women beforehysterectomy. The researchers retrospectively identified482 women who had hysterectomies for nononcologic andnonemergency indications in one of nine capitated medicalgroups in Southern California between 1993 and 1995.Their symptoms and quality of life before hysterectomywere assessed by medical record review and telephoneinterview. Women were placed into four symptom-basedgroups (pain, bleeding, pelvic discomfort, andasymptomatic groups) and compared across six quality-of-life scales. Women with primary pain conditions reportedthe highest average role impairment compared withwomen with primary bleeding pelvic discomfort, orasymptomatic conditions. On the five 0 to 100 -pointquality-of-life scales, women with primary painconditions, compared with women with bleeding pelvicdiscomfort, or asymptomatic conditions, had the highestmean levels of sexual and mood impairment, the poorestperception of general, and the greatest increase in severityof symptoms before hysterectomy. The study concludesthat women's primary symptoms before hysterectomy areassociated differentially with varying levels ofimpairment. Standardized measurement of quality of lifeamong women with gynecologic complaints that lead tohysterectomy might help to develop treatment guidelinesand assess appropriateness and outcomes of care for thosewomen.

RP-797 Medicaid Eligibility Expansion in Florida:Effects on Maternity Care Financing and the DeliverySystem. M. S. Marquis, S. H. Long. 1999.

In July 1989, the income limit on Medicaid eligibility forpregnant women in Florida was increased from 100% to150% of the poverty level. This study estimated changesin the flows of funds and services by major payer groups

during the period preceding expansion (July 1988-June1989) and for calendar year 1991. The number of birthsfinanced annually by Medicaid in Florida increased by47% following the eligibility expansion, from 47,400 in1988–1989 to 69,600 in 1991. This increase stemmedlargely from covered births to women who otherwisewould have been uninsured. The additional prenatal carefinanced by Medicaid was delivered almost entirely bycounty public health departments, which increased theircapacity by more than 100%. Medicaid payments formaternity care increased 39%, from $135 million to $187million, while payments made by the uninsured droppedby 29%. These changes resulted in a 5% rise in hospitalrevenues, despite little change in the number ofadmissions. The Medicaid expansion benefited low-income pregnant women and hospitals in Florida. It isunknown whether the private delivery system would haveaccommodated the increased demand in the absence of thepublic health system response. (Reprinted from FamilyPlanning Perspectives.

RP-798 Geographic Variation in Physician Visits forUninsured Children : The Role of the Safety Net. S. H.Long, M. S. Marquis. 1999.

This study examines variation in access to physicianservices for uninsured children in 10 states, the safety net'srole in explaining this variation, and the potential effectsof the State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)on insurance coverage and access. Data were drawn fromthe population-based Robert Wood Johnson FoundationFamily Health Insurance Survey, conducted betweensummer 1993 and spring 1994 in 10 states. The analystsestimated the percentage of low-income children who areuninsured and predicted annual physician visits in eachstate if insurance was provided to uninsured children infamilies with incomes of less than 200% of poverty level.They found that low-income children ranged from 6l% to86% of all uninsured children and the uninsured rate forlow-income children varied from 9% to 31 %. On average,providing public coverage would increase annualphysician visits from 2.3 to 4.6 (a 105% increase), but theincrease would range from 41 % to 189% across states.The annual physician visit rate in the 3 states with thehighest access for the uninsured was 160% of that in the 3lowest-access states. Safety net capacity in the high-accessstates ranged from 120% to 220% of that in the low-accessstates. These data suggest that the potential effects ofCHIP vary substantially across states. Notably,improvements in access to health care by uninsured low-income children should be greater in states with the fewestsafety net resources.

Today's U.S. armed forces are at a crossroad, a breakbetween the way urban operations have been conducted inthe past and the manner in which they will be carried outin the future. The past has demonstrated that combat inbuilt-up areas is costly in terms of friendly force lives andmore expensive yet for noncombatants. The route ahead isvirgin terrain; the American public's seeming intoleranceof military and civilian casualties rules out attacking citieswith massive firepower as U.S. forces did 50 years ago.

RP-802 Healthy Bodies and Thick Wallets: The DualRelation Between Health and Economic Status. J. P.Smith. 1998.

There is abundant evidence of a quantitatively largeassociation between measures of economic status andhealth outcomes, such as mortality or morbidity. However,considerable debate remains about the direction ofcausation and about why the association arises. Medicalscientists are convinced that the dominant pathway is thatvariation in socioeconomic status produces healthdisparities, and they are increasingly debating amongthemselves about why low economic status leads to poorhealth. Economists are now exploring the impact that poorhealth has on economic resources. This work cautionsagainst exaggerating the magnitude of one-directioncausation from economic status to health outcomes. Thefirst section of this paper documents the size of associationbetween health and household wealth. The next sectionexamines why health may alter household savings andwealth, and estimates the empirical magnitude of theseeffects. The third section summarizes major controversiesand evidence surrounding the links between economicstatus and health. (Reprinted from Journal of EconomicPerspectives. Vol. 13, No. 2. Spring 1999.)

Educators, employers and policymakers are interested inacademic skills because changes at work require differentschool preparation if youth are to make a successfultransition to employment. Two perspectives for studyingskills identified issues in defining and measuring skillrequirements for school programs. The two perspectivesshare the view that skilled behavior is multivariate, anddetailed case studies demonstrate how academic skillrequirements are contextually bound. The learningenvironments should reflect potential uses for theknowledge being taught. Technology education shouldmake explicit connections to academic skills and, aboveall, promote an understanding of why a particularapplication works. Results from this project are far fromconclusive. To further explore multivariate relationshipsamong skills and to sort out the relative importance ofeducation versus experience in rewarding labor marketperformance, the authors need better information abouttypes of jobs, and more reliable data on non-academicskills from a larger population.

Forproduct liability verdicts during 1983 to 1996 involvingautomobile manufacturers, the authors examine theamount of coverage in several dozen newspapers. Theauthors find almost no articles reporting on any of 259verdicts for the defendant. Econometric analysis focuseson determinants of the amount of coverage of 92 verdictsfor plaintiffs, 16 of which include punitive damages. Keydeterminants include the award amount, the nature ofinjuries, the vehicle's recall history, and especially the

RP-810 The Frequency of Excess Claims forAutomobile Personal Injuries. A. F. Abrahamse, S. J.Carroll. 1999.

Over the past 15 years, automobile insurance premiums,particularly for personal injury coverage, have grownrapidly across the country. Stiff increases in insurancepremiums are burdensome for everyone. High insurancepremiums, especially problematic for low-incomepopulations, are an incentive to drive uninsured,exacerbating the uninsured motorist problem. Debatesover auto insurance costs generally feature clashingperspectives, but nearly everyone agrees that wheninsurance companies pay compensation for nonexistentinjuries, the costs are reflected in higher insurance bills foreveryone. But how much excess claiming is there? Thisstudy analyzes the patterns of personal injury claimssubmitted across the states to estimate the extent of"excess claiming," claims for alleged injuries that areeither nonexistent or unrelated to the accident. The studyconfirms the well-known assertion that the United Statestort liability system provides incentives to submit excessclaims for auto injuries, and provides empirically basedestimates of how much excess claiming exists.

About one-quarter of allbusiness participate in a pool; smaller businesses are morelikely to participate, and there is substantial geographicvariation in the prevalence of pool participation. Poolingappears to have modest positive effects on the availabilityof employee choice among plans (especially healthmaintenance organizations) and on the availability ofinformation about plan quality. On the other hand, poolingas now construed does not seem to have enhanced the

accessibility or affordability of insurance to employers.(Reprinted from Health Affairs. July/Aug. 1999.)

RP-815 Cost-Containment and Adverse Selection inMedicaid HMOs. D. P. Goldman, A. A. Leibowitz, J.Buchanan. [1999]

Examines whether substituting a health maintenanceorganization (HMO) for traditional fee-for-service (FFS)Medicaid insurance reduces the cost of children's healthcare. In nonrandomized settings, unobserved selectioncould bias estimates of HMO performance. To control forselection, researchers often rely on parametric assumptionsor use instrumental-variables methods. We pursued adifferent approach based on semiparametric maximum-likelihood techniques, which Monte Carlo studies haveshown to be quite robust in many contexts. We appliedthis model to data from a self-selected sample of childrenin either a Medicaid HMO or traditional FFS in Florida.After controlling for selection, we estimated that the HMOreduced expenditures by 9.1%. A simple model assumingno selection predicts no savings. We validated ourestimates by comparing our results with those obtainedfrom a randomized sample of HMO and FFS enrollees.These comparisons indicate that the HMO reducesexpenditures by 13.6%. We conclude that selection cansubstantially bias estimates of HMO impact and that ourapproach .provides a potentially useful method foraccounting for this bias.

Presents perhaps the best data on the use of chiropracticservices from 1985–1991 in the United States and Canada.It is based on a sample of 130 chiropractors in five U.S.sites and 1 Canadian site. Sixty-eight percent of theselected charts from these chiropractors showed that carewas sought for low back pain; 32% recorded care for otherreasons. Eighty-three percent of all charts containedevidence of spinal manipulative therapy. Per episode ofcare across sites, there was greater than a twofolddifference in the median number of visits related to lowback pain. The chiropractic visit rates in the United Statesand Ontario are estimated to be about 100 and 140 visitsper 100 person-years, respectively — use rates that caretwice those of estimates made 15 years ago. The greatmajority of patients receive care for musculoskeletalconditions of the back and neck, and number of visits perepisode varies appreciably by site. This informationshould help us understand better what is happening in theuse of chiropractic services in North America and shouldhelp in determining how to evaluate the quality of care andoutcome of care for those services.

RP-830 Goal Conflict in Juror Assessments ofCompensatory and Punitive Damages. M. C. Anderson,R. J. MacCoun. 1999.

Recent tort reform debates have been hindered by a lack ofknowledge of how jurors assess damages. Two studiesinvestigated whether jurors are able to appropriatelycompartmentalize compensatory and punitive damages. InStudy I, mock jurors read a trial summary and were askedto assess compensatory and punitive damages in one ofthree conditions: (a) compensatory damages only, (b)

punitive damages for the plaintiff, or (c) punitive damagesfor the state treasury. Results suggest that jurors who didnot have the option to award punitive damages inflatedcompensatory damages via pain and suffering awards.Jurors were marginally more likely to award punitivedamages when the plaintiff was the recipient. Mock jurorsin Study 2 read a similar case summary and were asked toassess compensatory and punitive damages. Two factorswere varied in Study 2: (a) egregiousness of thedefendant's conduct, and (b) the recipient of any punitivedamages (the plaintiff vs. a consortium of state funds).Jurors were more likely to award punitive damages whenthe defendant's conduct was more egregious and when theplaintiff was the recipient. The results suggest leakagebetween compensatory and punitive damage judgments,contrary to the law's mandate. (Reprinted from Law andHuman Behavior. Vol. 23, No. 3. 1999.)

Available indicators on drug use tell a confusing story.Although surveys show that drug use has declined in thegeneral population since 1980, direct measures of use,such as the number of drug-related deaths, have beenincreasing steadily. The extent of the nation's drugproblems cannot be measured by estimating the number ofpersons using illicit drugs. General surveys mask aconsiderable change in drug-use patterns. Analysis andreconciliation of various indicators, along with a solidunderstanding of patterns of use, can reveal differencesamong segments of the population and can help todistinguish among, for example, the teenage marijuanauser, the occasional user of cocaine, and the crack cocaine-or heroin-dependent person for whom drug use is a careerrather than an event. It can also help policymakers andcommunity leaders tailor drug prevention and reductionprograms to particular audiences—high school students,criminal offenders, or particular age or racial groups.(Reprinted from National Institute of Justice Journal.

The near elderly are a vulnerable population group, withexpected high medical expenditures. Unless blind ordisabled, they do not qualify for public insurance(Medicare or Medicaid), and options for purchase ofhealth insurance in private individual markets are equally

restricted. Preexisting conditions may be excluded, andsome persons in poor health are not insurable at all. Forthose who are insurable, premium costs in individualmarkets may be prohibitively high. Older workerscontemplating early retirement must therefore relyprimarily on employment-based health insurance untilthey are eligible for Medicare. This study considers howolder workers' retirement behavior is affected by access toemployment-based health insurance policy initiatives,including continuation and portability mandates andchanges in the way firms must account for retiree healthbenefits in earnings statements. A discussion of the effectsof other policy changes is also provided to create aframework in which future policy options may beevaluated.

RP-837 Euroland, Open for Business. R. A. Levine.1999.

The European Monetary Union (EMU) was created lastJanuary 1. Its eleven members, all large economies exceptthe United Kingdom, have a fixed exchange rate amongtheir currencies and a single monetary policy set by theEuropean Central Bank in Frankfurt. By July 1, 2002,there will be a single currency, the euro. The change isimmensely significant for world prosperity and stability."Euroland," a favorite name among Germans, may becomeas politically and militarily powerful as the United States.For the EMU to fulfill its potential, however, toughquestions must be answered. What will be the effect of theEMU on European economic growth? What will be theeffect on European integration? A successful EMU couldlead to a Europe at least as loosely confederal, if not moretightly federal — that is its real potential. Realization ofthe potential will depend on wise policy, particularly onrelaxation of the current stringent economic orthodoxyinherited from the 1970s and 1980s. For the United States,EMU success will create a powerful new competitor butalso a partner to share the burden of world leadership.(Reprinted from The Atlantic Monthly. Nov. 1999.)

RP-839 Simultaneous Polydrug Use Among Teens:Prevalence and Predictors. R. L. Collins, P. L. Ellickson,R. M. Bell. 1999.

The use of two or more substances in combination,simultaneous polydrug use (SPU), is a particularlydangerous form of drug use that appears to be establishedby late adolescence. The authors examined the prevalenceof SPU in a diverse sample of 12th graders, and identifiedrisk and protective factors for SPU that are present at 10thgrade. The authors also tested for differences in SPUacross race and gender, and explored the basis forobserved differences. The study goals were to determinethe extent of SPU problems in different groups and how toaddress these problems. Twenty-nine percent ofparticipants had engaged in SPU in the past year. The best

predictors of alcohol/marijuana SPU were a pro-drugenvironment, pro-drug beliefs, social deviance, and familydisruption; only a pro-drug environment was predictive ofhard drug SPU. Women were far less likely to combinemarijuana and alcohol than were men. Asian Americanswere less likely to combine alcohol and marijuana thanwere other racial groups, apparenty due to theiradvantaged standing on all predictors of this behavior.African Americans were less likely to use hard drugs incombination than were other groups. Overall, polydruguse is a substantial problem for older teens. Broader drug-use prevention programs may be sufficient to address SPUinvolving gateway drugs, but reducing drug availabilityappears central to addressing hard drug SPU.

RP-841 Evidence-Based Care for Depression inManaged Primary Care Practices. L. V. Rubenstein, M.Jackson-Triche, J. Unutzer, J. Miranda, K. Minnium, M.Pearson, K. B. Wells. 1999.

This paper evaluated whether externally designed,evidence-based interventions for improving care fordepression can be locally implemented in managed careorganizations. The interventions were carried out as part ofa randomized trial involving 46 practices within sixdiverse non-academic managed care organizations. Basedon evaluation of adherence to the intervention protocol,the authors determined that local practice leaders are ableto implement pre-designed interventions for improvingdepression care. Adherence rates for most key interventionactivities were above 70%, and many were near 100%.Three intervention activities fell short of the goal of 70%implementation and should be targets for futureimprovement in clinical practice for depression.(Reprinted from Health Affairs.

RP-842 Air Power, Space Power and Geography. B.S. Lambeth. 1999.

In the 1991 Gulf War, the almost immediate suppressionof Iraq's air defenses, along with the combination of newreal-time surveillance systems and precision attackcapabilities, gave air power an edge it had never beforehad. The introduction of low observability ("stealth")technology and the use of space-based assets fornavigation and targeting, such as GPS, have furtherenabled air power, properly used, to achieve strategicobjectives almost from the earliest moments of a joint

military campaign. But geography continues to limit theability of air power to meet all demands of the joint forcecommander. The generally open terrain of the Persian Gulfarea provided a significant contrast to the morechallenging terrain of Bosnia and Kosovo. And althoughair power would be the key to success in any war thatmight erupt in Korea, it would not by itself be able to halta North Korean ground invasion. The U.S. Air Force isnow moving to establish "Air Expeditionary Forces," builtout of pieces from various units and available to deploy onshort notice to hold the line until more sustained combatoperations could begin.

RP-843 Parent-Child Coresidence and Quasi-Coresidence in Peninsular Malaysia. ChorS. Ngin, J. S.DaVanzo. 1999.

This paper reports the findings from focus groupdiscussions and ethnographic interviews that wereconducted in 1996 in Malay, Chinese and Indiancommunities in Peninsular Malaysia. Whereas a commonperception in the literature is that formal parent-childcoresidence remains the ideal, many urban participants ofall ethnic groups felt that quasi-coresidence—parents andtheir adult children living nearby and assisting each otherbut not actually coresiding—was a desirable arrangement,but there were different degrees of emphasis and differentmotivations, depending on the traditional pressure oncoresidence and experience with urban living. Multipleforces are shaping decisions regarding intergenerationalliving arrangements, including religion, traditional idealsregarding post-marital residence, labor marketopportunities and women's participation in urbanemployment, availability and cost of housing, needs forchildcare, people's experience with rural and urban living,and the health status and socioeconomic status of theelderly.

RP-844 Coup-Proofing: Its Practice andConsequences in the Middle East. J. T. Quinlivan. 1999.

A number of Middle Eastern states—e.g., Iraq, Syria, andSaudi Arabia—seem to be "coup-proof." That is, theirregimes have created structures that minimize thepossibility that a small group can seize power. Theseinclude effectively exploiting family, ethnic, and religiousloyalties; creation of an armed force parallel to the regularmilitary; development of multiple internal securityagencies with overlapping jurisdiction that constantlymonitor one another; fostering of expertness in the regularmilitary; and adequately financing such measures. Theregime is thus able to create an army that is effectivelylarger than one drawn solely from trustworthy segments ofthe population. These measures, however, lessen the states'usable military power. Nonetheless, Iraq has demonstrated

the ability of a coup-proofed regime to survive despiteoverwhelming military defeat. Key surviving military andsecurity elements, their loyalty to the regime, and theirorganized firepower won out over the poorly armedcivilians and broken military units that opposed themfollowing Iraq's defeat in the Gulf War.

RP-845 Effects of Changing Medicaid Fees onPhysician Participation and Enrollee Access. A. Coburn,S. H. Long, M. S. Marquis. 1999.

This paper assesses the effects of Medicaid fee changes onphysician participation, enrollee access, and shifts in thesite of ambulatory care using several natural experimentsin Maine and Michigan. The authors use Medicaid claimsand enrollment data to measure these outcomes. Thereimbursement changes included substantial percentagechanges in fees, however the value of the Medicaid feeimprovements relative to the private market eroded veryrapidly in the months following the interventions.Although the fee increases did not improve the outcomemeasures, they might have prevented conditions fromworsening.

RP-848 Effectiveness Research and Implications forStudy Design: Sample Size and Statistical Power. R.Sturm, J. Unutzer, W. Katon. 1999.

Most clinical trials have started to incorporate morebroadly defined outcome measures, such as health-relatedquality of life, to complement clinical status measures aswell as direct costs and cost-effectiveness analyses.Contrasting a broad range of outcome and cost measures,the authors analyze the implications for sample sizes andstudy design using data from prior mental health andprimary care studies that span a wide range of practicesettings, patient populations and geographic areas. Whilemeaningful clinical symptomatic differences are oftendetectable with sample sizes of well under 100 per cell,detecting even large changes in health-related quality oflife generally requires several hundred observations percell. Reasonable precision in cost estimates usuallyrequires sample sizes in the thousands. Very few clinicaltrials or observational effectiveness studies thatincorporate quality-of-life or cost measures have suchsample sizes, resulting in many (unreported) null findingsand, due to publication biases favoring significant results,scientific publications that exaggerate true effects. Thisraises issues for the general direction of clinical trials andeffectiveness studies, as well as for how cost and health-related quality of life results based on small studies shouldbe dealt with in publications.

RP-865 The Intergenerational Transmission of"Intelligence": Down the Slippery Slopes of The BellCurve. J. Currie, D. Thomas. 1999.

Herrnstein and Murray report that conditional on maternal"intelligence" (AFQT scores), child test scores are littleaffected by variations in socioeconomic status. Using thesame data, the authors demonstrate that their finding isvery fragile. The authors explore the effect of adopting amore representative sample of children, including blacksand Latinos, allowing nonlinearities in the relationships,and incorporating richer measures of socioeconomicstatus. Making any one of these changes overturns theirfindings: Socioeconomic status and child test scores arepositively and significantly related. Evidence is presentedsuggesting AFQT scores are likely better markers forfamily background than "intelligence." (Reprinted fromIndustrial Relations. Vol. 38, No. 3. July 1999.)

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

CF-145-CAPP/AF The People's Liberation Army inthe Information Age. J. C. Mulvenon, R. H. Yang. 1999.

A July 1998 conference, held in San Diego,California,brought together Chinese military experts todiscuss the "non-hardware" side of the People's LiberationArmy's modernization. The result is a comprehensiveexamination of the critical "software" side, covering topicsas diverse as civil-military relations, professionalism,logistics, training, doctrine, systems integration, and forcestructure. The 13 chapters present a picture of a PLA thathas learned much about the right "software" for successfulcombat performance but is facing variable success in

implementing the necessary changes throughout thesystem. The Chinese military's progress in the areasdiscussed in the papers will ultimately determine whetherthe PLA will transform itself into a peer competitor withthe United States in the 21st century or remain merely aregional military power. The conference was sponsoredjointly by the RAND Center for Asia-Pacific Policy andthe Taiwan-based Chinese Council of Advanced PolicyStudies.

CF-149-CMEPP/GCSP NATO's New StrategicConcept and Peripheral Contingencies: The Middle East.S. Chubin, J. D. Green, F. S. Larrabee. 1999.

On July 15–16, 1999, RAND's Center for Middle EastPublic Policy and the Geneva Center for Security Policyheld a workshop on the likelihood of out-of-area roles forNATO, with emphasis on the Middle East. The 25attendees explored NATO's role in operations beyond itsborders, European capabilities for power projection,Western policy toward the Middle East and the Gulf, theArab-Israel area and external power intervention, andexternal intervention and the Persian Gulf. There was ageneral consensus that any military action required in theGulf or Middle East would probably be carried out by a"coalition of willing" NATO members rather than NATOas an institution. The gap between U.S. power projectioncapabilities and those of Europe is particularly striking inmodern and transport aircraft and in smart weapons. Thedisparity was particularly evident in the Kosovo conflict.Considerable attention was given to Turkey's role inMiddle East affairs, particularly the danger that NATOmight be dragged into a conflict in the Middle East as aresult of a dispute between Turkey and a Middle Easternneighbor. This factor might be complicated by Turkey'srelations with Russia.

It is widely acknowledged that "insider misuse" is one ofthe major threats to (and obstacles to achieving) defenseinformation system security. To combat such misuse, theOffice of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command,Control, Communications, and Information) has requestedthat workshops be conducted to develop recommendationson mitigating insider threats and reducing informationsystem vulnerabilities. These conference proceedingsreport on one such workshop, which included input frommilitary officials, researchers, and industry participants.The workshop's main purpose was to propose technical

research initiatives regarding how to identify threats andvulnerabilities, how to prevent such threats throughsecurity controls, how to detect that misuse has occurred,and how best to respond to such misuse. The workshopparticipants also identified the need for policies andprocedures including (1) a clear definition of "insider," (2)guidance from legal and law enforcement communitiesregarding the attribution, collection, maintenance,processing, and storage of data to permit proper forensicanalysis and trails that lead to appropriate legalprosecution, (3) cost/benefit analyses that will helpdetermine the true value of new security procedures, (4)technology transfer plans, and (5) support for multiple,diverse, concurrent security approaches.

This paper—given as a speech in The Hague in December1998—presents relevant elements of four broad themesmaking up a picture of European security over the nextdecade. The first is the nature of Europe, an issue which isnot yet settled. the second is four trends: the evolution ofRussia, the rise of the market state, the unification ofGermany, and the weakness of European institutions.Third is the transatlantic agenda, particularly the need toengage Russia, to proceed with European integration, andto face the consequences of globalization. Last are thetasks ahead: To build on common values, to strengthenEuropean institutions, to bring all European countries intothe process of European integration, to develop the so-called Transatlantic Agenda, and to focus NATO onthreats from beyond NATO's borders.

For Koreans on both sides of the divided peninsula, 1998was a year of considerable adversity. Although the natureand extent of this adversity differed greatly between thetwo countries, the resulting challenges tested bothseverely. This analysis reviews the major developments in1998 in both North and South Korea, as well as in North-South relations, and contrasts the respective responses.These sharply divergent responses tell much about theunderlying fundamentals of the two systems. How theyplay out in the coming year will shape the short-termoutlook for each country and help determine longer-termprospects for regional security. It also will help answerbasic questions raised by developments in 1998 about keyassumptions underlying Western policies.

P-8039-1 Terrorism and Weapons of MassDestruction: An Analysis of Trends and Motivations. B.Hoffman. 1999.

Although the conventional wisdom previously held thatterrorists were more interested in publicity than in killing,recent terrorist attacks—such as the 1995 nerve gas attackin a Tokyo subway and the bombing of a federalgovernment office building in Oklahoma City—haveeither crossed into the domain of use of weapons of massdestruction (WMD) or involved the deliberate infliction oflarge numbers of casualties. This paper examines threereasons that may account for terrorism's increasinglethality: (1) the proliferation of religious terrorism, inwhich violence assumes a transcendental dimension; (2)the rise of "amateur" terrorists—loosely organized groupsof individuals with particular grievances who are able togain WMD expertise from publicly available sources; and(3) the growing sophistication and competence ofprofessional terrorist organizations. A confluence of newmotives, opportunities, and capabilities could impel any ofthese groups to employ a chemical, biological, or nuclearweapon or radioactive device. Given even the possibilityof future terrorist use of such weapons, no nation canafford to consider terrorism to be among its least seriousor complex of security issues.

WHITE PAPERS

WP-119 Reactive Armor Tiles for Army and MarineCorps Armored Vehicles : An Independent Report to theDepartment of Defense and the United States Congress. J.Pinder. 1999.

This independent report on the results of a congressionallymandated study of reactive armor (RA) tiles for U.S.Army and Marine Corps armored vehicles was submittedto Congress in April 1999. It relies on an extensivesupporting analysis conducted by the U.S. Army Materiel

and Systems Analysis Activity in cooperation with theU.S. Army Research Laboratory. The study focused ontwo Army vehicles, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV)and the M113 family of vehicles. Three types of RA tileswere evaluated: the current "production" BFV tile, a new"1–2 year" developmental M113 tile, and a more advanced"2-3 year" design. All of these designs significantlyimproved vehicle survivability, but the 2-3 year tilesprovided the most robust protection for both vehiclesagainst likely 2005 threats. In the case of the M113,however, the somewhat lighter and less costly 1-2 yeartiles might be preferred in situations where advancedthreats are not so prevalent. The report makes severalpolicy recommendations: (1) The Army should develop anew universal enhanced RA tile based on the 2-3 yeardesign for both the BFV and the M113, at an estimatedcost of $11 million. This effort should include thedevelopment of an optimum coverage pattern for theweight-constrained M113A3 tile sets. (2) Enoughadditional production tile sets should be procured to equipa substantial portion of the BFVs in the Army'sContingency Response Forces, and a sufficient number ofthe new enhanced tile sets should be procured to outfit anadditional brigade of BFVs. At least this many M113A3enhanced tile sets should also be procured, plus enoughadditional sets to meet identified needs. (3) Furtherresearch should be done on the need for RA tiles onM113s in their typical roles and missions, and on theappropriateness of RA for urban operations. Also, theMarine Corps and the Army should consider whether thenew universal RA tile would be appropriate for othervehicles in the future, especially those being consideredfor the Army After Next.

WP-120 Maintaining the Army's "Smart Buyer"Capability in a Period of Downsizing. K. P. Horn, C.Wong, E. I. Axelband, P. Steinberg, I. Y. Chang. 1999.

Today, the Army possesses a competent "smart buyer"(SB) capability. But unless corrective measures are takenshortly, the effect of downsizing the federal governmentworkforce may undermine the Army's future SBcapability. This white paper sets out to identify what isneeded to counteract the effect of personnel downsizingthrough changes/efficiencies in the SB capability andworkforce. Arroyo Center research over the last severalyears has found three ingredients required to provide agood SB capability: (1) a collaborative researchenvironment, (2) communications with users, and (3) acadre of talented and trained technical staff. Providing thefirst ingredient will entail implementing new ways ofdoing business using acquisition-reform initiatives thatpermit leveraging of the other services and governmentagencies and partnering with industry. Providing thesecond might entail developing organizationalrealignments that allow close two-way SB

communications. To provide the third, the Army shouldexploit the full range of recruiting tools to attract the mostpromising candidates, implement career developmentopportunities to ensure that employees can perform the SBfunction, and create influences to encourage talented andpromising SBs to stay.

DOCUMENTED BRIEFINGS

DB-230-OSD Analyzing the Effects of AirfieldResources on Airlift Capacity. J. P. Stucker, L. M.Williams. 1999.

This research investigated how differing levels anddistributions of airfield resources can affect the quantity ofairlift deliveries. Specifically, the study demonstrates thecombined use of two models to improve and facilitate theanalysis of the effects of airfield resources on airliftperformance. One model is ACE (Airfield CapacityEstimator), a relatively high-resolution model of airfieldresources and operations; the other is NRMO (NavalPostgraduate School/RAND Mobility Optimization), alarge-scale linear-programming model of military airlift.Using a scenario provided by the Air Force's Air MobilityCommand (AMC) of a major war in Southwest Asia, theRAND analysts showed how ACE and NRMO togethercould complement AMC's models and analyses and howthe ACE/NRMO estimates might expand or validate thoseof AMC. The study validated AMC's conclusion that thecurrent European en route infrastructure wouldsignificantly constrain deliveries of major cargoes during amajor deployment to Southwest Asia. Both RAND andAMC estimated that current en route resource shortageswould reduce cargo deliveries by roughly 20 percent fromwhat they could be if those shortages did not exist.Moreover, the study expanded AMC's findings (a) bydemonstrating the sensitivity of deliveries to assumptionsconcerning aircraft ground times at the on-load, en route,and off-load airfields and (b) by demonstrating how abetter distribution of existing en route resources couldsignificantly increase the amount of cargo delivered duringthe first 30 days of the conflict. The study illustrates thatACE and NRMO can augment the strategic mobilityanalyses needed by the Office of the Secretary of Defenseand others by detecting capabilities and providing insightsthat are not available from other models. The report shouldbe of interest to deployment planners and to air mobilityresource programmers and managers.

DB-236-JS Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR)Analysis: A Retrospective Look at Joint StaffParticipation. J. Schrader, L. Lewis, R. A. Brown. 1999.

The 1996 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) wasintended to evaluate the state of the U.S. military andpropose improvements. RAND was asked to review theJoint Staff's participation in the QDR and to makerecommendations to aid future reviews. As this studyshows, the QDR goal of integrating processes andorganizations was not successful. For a variety of reasons,primarily the lack of external pressure for a seriousreview, the QDR did little to change the status quo. One ofRAND's most crucial recommendations was the need forthe Joint Staff to increase its involvement and improve itsposition as an "integrator" during the course of the reviewprocess. Many of RAND's suggestions are already beingimplemented. This should be further encouraged throughleadership reviews of the state of the analytical "toolbox"and examinations of major issues in the QDR. It isimperative that the Joint Staff increase its role in futurereviews because only when a serious program to developcapabilities and take responsibilities is implemented willmilitary judgments be translated into effective advice.

DB-241-OSD Financial Management ProblemsAmong Enlisted Personnel. P. Tiemeyer, C. Wardynski,R. J. Buddin. 1999.

This documented briefing describes the financial well-being of enlisted military personnel. It provides evidenceof the extent of personal financial problems in the military,describing how financial problems vary with thedemographics of the military and with particular aspects ofthe military work environment. The study also examineswhich types of members receive financial assistance andwhat types of programs they use. The authors find thatyoung enlisted personnel frequently experiencesignificant financial management problems, which maystem in part from youthful irresponsibility and naivete.However, the military services must ensure that they arenot contributing to members' financial problems in anyway. Financial management classes currently beingoffered at some bases should be systematically evaluatedto determine their effectiveness.

DB-242-A Predicting Military Innovation. J. A.Isaacson, C. Layne, J. Arquilla. 1999.

Although military technology is increasingly available andaffordable, not all states have the capacity to improvemilitary effectiveness by acquiring hardware. Integrativedifficulties—in command structures, doctrine and tactics,training, and support—are common in the developingworld, and many states will have to find some level ofinnovation to overcome such difficulties if they are to usemilitary technologies effectively. This annotated briefingdocuments a research effort aimed at understanding andpredicting how militaries may improve their battlefieldeffectiveness. The briefing first analyzes militaryinnovation conceptually and then formulates a framework

DB-246-OSD What Are Asymmetric Strategies? B.W. Bennett, C. P. Twomey, G. F. Treverton. 1999.

The 1997 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) evaluatedfuture U.S. strategy and force structure. It paid particularattention to asymmetric threats that attack vulnerabilitiesnot appreciated by the United States and capitalize onlimited U.S. preparations against such threats. Thesethreats rely primarily on concepts of operation, such as anadversary using chemical and biological weapons to attriteand disrupt U.S. forces, that differ fundamentally fromthose employed by the United States. The threats also canemploy new or different weapons. U.S. conventionalsuperiority has forced adversaries to consider asymmetricthreats. Aymmetric strategies are not new; much ofmilitary history and theory focuses on asymmetricchallenges. But the United States often fails to appreciatethese threats, and therefore does not adequately prepare forthem. In modern warfare, the performance of U.S. forcescould be substantially degraded if they are faced withthreats for which they are inadequately prepared, includingthe needed doctrine, operational concepts, military R&Dand acquisitions, force structure and force posture, andtraining. While U.S. doctrine as explained in Joint Vision2010 calls for "full-dimensional protection" of U.S. forces,such protection is extremely expensive and does notpresently exist.

DB-247-NASA/OSTP Data Policy Issues andBarriers to Using Commercial Resources for Mission toPlanet Earth. S. Pace, B. Sponberg, M. K. Macauley.1999.

The United States is pursuing several major initiativesaimed at characterizing and understanding the interactionsbetween localities and global change in the environment.The largest single effort in this research is NASA'sMission to Planet Earth and a planned system of satellitesand ground networks known as the Earth ObservationSystem. This RAND study assesses the data policy issuesand barriers to using commercial resources to support theobjectives of this program. Its main objectives were toprovide an overview of U.S. and international data policyissues affecting remote sensing data, to identify potentialdata policy barriers to the use of commercial remotesensing data in NASA's program, and to providerecommendations on how NASA and private industry maybe able to reduce barriers to the use of commercial remotesensing to meet the needs of NASA and broader U.S.policy objectives.

D B - 2 5 0 - U S M C Marine Corps SourcingCompetitions: Historical Performance and Directions forImprovement. N. Y. Moore, R. Eden, M. Y. D. Wang.1999.

Marine Corps leaders recognize the need to improvesupport to expeditionary forces. To help explore optionsfor improving logistics, the Marine Corps asked RAND toundertake a three-part research effort to (1) analyze thetotality of logistics initiatives, (2) measure order-and-shipand repair-cycle times, and (3) examine outsourcingoptions. This documented briefing summarizes ourresearch on outsourcing history and options. It examinesthe Marine Corps' past sourcing competition experienceand those commercial activities that are available forsourcing competition; reviews the Marine Corps' plans forfuture sourcing competitions to develop savings formodernization; and recommends actions to improve theefficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes of future sourcingcompetitions. Recommended next steps related to sourcingcompetitions for USMC installations are to developmetrics and measure performance of all key activities in-house and on contract; improve processes, when quick andcheap to do; develop baseline inventory of currentcontracts; identify near-term, low-risk, high-payoffactivities for competitions and assign to teams forexecution; and review and reclassify commercial activitiesaccording to current USMC plans and commercialcapabilities.

DB-258-A The Army After Next: Exploring NewConcepts and Technologies for the Light Battle Force. J.Matsumura, R. Steeb, T. J. Herbert, S. Eisenhard, J.Gordon, M. R. Lees, G. Halverson. 1999.

This document summarizes the initial year's work on theproject "Assessing Advanced Concepts and Technologiesfor the Army After Next (AAN)." At the request ofTRADOC, Deputy Chief of Staff for Doctrine(DCSDOC), RAND Arroyo Center initiated this projectabout halfway into FY97. The overall intent of the effortwas to provide force-on-force simulation-based analyticsupport to the AAN initiative and support the series ofwargames. The effort involves the use of high-resolutionconstructive simulation to explore both operationalconcepts and technology options for the light battle forceconcept associated with the AAN initiative. One of the keycapabilities required of the light battle force is an ability tohide and wait for the right opportunity and then create a"virtual ambush," resulting in a shock or disintegration of

the enemy. This kind of defeat, to some extent, is incontrast to more traditional attrition in that it greatlycompresses the time in which lethality occurs. Essentially,the concept envisions allowing an advancing threat topenetrate, after which the battle force unleashes massivesimultaneous fires from afar and closer in. To accomplishthis, unprecedented amounts of survivability (possibly inthe form of stealth) and lethality (in the form of precsionguided weapons) would be required. Thus, as a startingpoint, the project examined those two critical aspects ofthe light battle force concept via our simulation andmodeling.

DB-260-A/OSD Joint Operations Superiority in the21st Century: Analytic Support to the 1998 DefenseScience Board. J. Matsumura, R. Steeb, E. Isensee, T. J.Herbert, S. Eisenhard, J. Gordon. 1999.

This documented briefing describes RAND research thatsupported the 1998 Defense Science Board (DSB)Summer Study on Joint Operations Superiority in the 21stCentury: Integrating Capabilities Underwriting JointVision 2010. RAND supported the DSB through bothexploratory analysis and high-resolution simulation-basedanalysis; this document only covers the high-resolutionwork, notably simulation experiments to help explore andassess Joint operational concepts. It builds on related workdone by the authors for the DSB effort, Tactics andTechnology for 21st Century Military Superiority (DB-198-A). The current effort draws on outcomes of otherDSB studies, discussions with warfighters, andinteractions with DSB members, to define a range ofdifferent Joint operational concepts that could be appliedto a future (2010–2015) notional, high-intensity, quick-reaction scenario. The strengths and weaknesses of theseconcepts were explored using man-in-the-loop, high-resolution, stochastic constructive simulation in thecontext of a single basic scenario with a number ofvariations. The authors' intention in this work was to (1)provide insights and inputs for a broader, exploratoryRAND analysis for the DSB, (2) increase dialogue amongconceptualizers, users, and developers, and (3) suggestideas to help the DSB take JV 2010 to the next step.

DB-265-A The Use of Microworld Simulations toTrain Theater Level CSS Staffs: Training DevelopmentConsiderations. E. Ettedgui, D. M. Oaks, J. R.Bondanella. 1999.

The Army is in essence reengineering itself under theauspices of Force XXI, and at the same time it is evolvinginto a "force projection Army." Such changes placeincreasing importance on effective combat service support(CSS) command and control (C2). These challenges andchanges to CSS management will occur in an increasinglyinformation-rich and distributed environment. Earlieraspects of this research reported on the opportunity to

reexamine training for support staffs above the divisionlevel and determine how the Army might change itstraining to best prepare for new styles of CSSmanagement. This documented briefing illustrates amicroworld simulation modeling approach that can help tofacilitate changes in structure and content for training CSSstaffs operating as staffs, not for individual training. Theauthors discuss how microworld models can be used totrain CSS processes. Included in the discussion is anoverview of how these models operate and what theprototypes are intended to illustrate in a trainingcurriculum. The briefing concludes with some generallessons learned from developing and testing theseprototype models with an actual training audience, and theauthors suggest how training developers may proceed toredesign mission training plans for higher-level theaterCSS C2 staffs.

DB-270-JS/A "--We Band of Brothers": The Call forJoint Urban Operations Doctrine. R. W. Glenn. 1999.

Recent historical events and changing world demographicscaused the U.S. military to recognize shortfalls in its urbanoperations doctrine. The J8 Urban Working Group (UWG)therefore asked RAND to conduct a study to identifyrequirements in this area. This document summarizes thatstudy, which was conducted in three phases. The first wasa determination of the current status of joint urbanoperations doctrine. The second phase involvedidentification and description of the character such adoctrine should take. The third and final analytical stepwas a compilation of specific requirements that literaturereviews and extensive field interviews dictated should bepart of a U.S. joint MOUT (military operations onurbanized terrain) doctrine. The author determined thaturban operations doctrine was needed and that it should bein the form of a separate joint publication. Subsequent tohis work, the Joint Doctrine Working Party directed thatwork begin on the heretofore nonexistent Joint Publication3–06 (JP 3-06), Doctrine for Joint Urban Operations.

DB-271-NIJ How Youthful Offenders Perceive GunViolence. J. H. Goldberg, W. Schwabe. 1999.

the crucial role of defense personnel and, supporting them,well-functioning personnel and compensation systems.Recently, concern has arisen regarding military pay andretention's ability to meet force needs. In this documentedbriefing, the authors provide a detailed analysis showingthat (1) there is a pay gap for officers and senior enlistedpersonnel, but not for junior enlisted personnel, when theirbasic pay growth since 1982 is compared to wage/salarygrowth of similar civilian populations; (2) overall, militarypay has declined by 6.5 percent relative to civilian paysince 1993, though the "official" pay gap shows a declineof only 1.5 percent; (3) this pay decline and lowunemployment rates have contributed to retention andenlistment difficulties; (4) measured by the extent of longor hazardous duty (perstempo), retention had not declineddespite the heightened pace of military operations in themid-1990s; yet, today's pace may be even higher and, ifso, could have a negative retention effect on morepersonnel; (5) over time, military personnel andcompensation systems have been effective in retaininghigh-quality personnel and promoting them into higherranks by providing incentives for high-quality personnel toremain in the military and seek advancement. The authorsalso discuss policy options aimed at amelioratingpersonnel concerns. They conclude that pay raises targetedto those in higher grades supplemented by well-fundedseparation pay incentives, selective reenlistment bonuses,more cost-effective recruiting policies aimed at college-bound youth, and, if desired, offering a thrift savings planwithout matching contributions from the government tohelp service members tax-shelter income for retirement arethe best options. Targeted pay raises can help reduce thesenior enlisted personnel and officer pay gaps and shouldstrengthen the incentives for high-quality personnel toremain in service and exert the effort needed to reachhigher ranks.

DB-278-OSD Analytical Methods for Studies andExperiments on "Transforming the Force". P. K. Davis, J.H. Bigelow, J. McEver. 1999.

The Department of Defense is motivated by bothopportunities and necessity to "transform the force" overthe years ahead by exploiting modern technology andoperational concepts associated with the revolution inmilitary affairs, and by making related organizationalchanges. This documented briefing provides a backgroundreview describing a broad transformation strategy, thendiscusses and illustrates how analysis supported by modelsand simulations (including gaming) can supplement andguide empirical work such as joint experiments. Theapproach is illustrated for the problem of halting aninvading army, with long-range precision fires playing amajor role. A great deal of insight about the generalproblem can be obtained from analysis at different levelsof resolution with a family of models. This process, in

turn, identifies important kinds of information that can beobtained only from empirical work such as joint fieldexperiments. The recommended experiments are thenquite different from those that would probably beaccomplished without the benefit of prior analysis. Failureto approach warfare research with such a model-test-model approach can squander rare opportunities for fieldexperiments and lead to serious misinterpretations oflimited experimental events.

The Second Supplement on Aging (SOA II) to the 1994National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and theSupplement on Aging (SOA) to the 1984 NHIS wereintended to be two comparable surveys of the elderlypopulation 70 years of age and older. Together thesesurveys may be used to examine changes in a variety ofmeasures relevant to the health and well-being of olderAmericans. The differences in the design andadministration of the two surveys, however, couldcompromise their comparability and thus make itquestionable to obtain unbiased estimates from studiesusing the SOA and the SOA II. In this study, the authorsinvestigate the major differences and their implications.The main difference between the two surveys is that thereis a time lag of 7 to 17 months between the 1994 NHISand the SOA II, whereas the SOA was administered at thesame time as the 1984 NHIS. In addition to potentiallyaffecting comparability, this lag may result in nonrandomattrition. The authors address the issue of comparability byensuring that the results from both surveys aregeneralizable to the same target population. The authorsinvestigate the attrition in the SOA II and find the attritionnonrandom in the bivariate and multivariate analyses. Theauthors develop a re-weighting strategy to account for this

The authors find thatpopulation counts using the original SOA II weights andthe revised sets of weights substantially differ especiallyby various basic health and disability measures, eventhough differences in percentage distributions are notlarge.

Current arguments on the drivers of business performancein the service economy focus on investments ininformation technology, investments in human resources,and investments in developing customer-oriented businessprocesses. This paper advances a new approach tounderstanding competitive performance in the serviceeconomy. Termed the strategic segmentation perspective,this new approach suggests it is not investments inorganizational capabilities alone but the alignment oforganizational capabilities with customer segmentationstrategies that generates competitive advantage. Byaligning organizational capabilities with distributionstrategies that recognize the distinct product and serviceneeds of different customer segments, service companiescan maximize profits from each customer group theyserve. The article draws on case studies of high-performing service companies to show how a strategicapproach to distribution strategies can be used to achievesuperior service performance.

DRU-2163-NSF Segment Strategies and theResource-Based View of the Firm. B. Keltner, B. Jensen.1999.

By demonstrating how distinctive sets of competenciescan contribute to competitive advantage, recent researchon the resource-based view of the firm has provided animportant new perspective on the drivers of corporatestrategy. However, this recent research has yet to addressthe topic of internal differentiation in resourcedevelopment. As markets continue to fragment, multi-unitfirms find it necessary to develop not one unique set ofcomplementary competencies but multiple distinct sets ofcomplementary competencies to respond to the demandsof different customer segments. This paper develops andtests a model of internal differentiation in resourcedevelopment in service organizations. The empiricalresults of the test suggest that alignment between resourcedevelopment and strategy must be achieved at the segmentor business-unit level not the level of the corporateenterprise.

DRU-2164-NSF Information Technology andStrategic Sales Management. B. Keltner, B. Jensen. 1999.

Sales executives normally think of sales management toolsas a way to automate and streamline sales processes (i.e.sales force automation). While delivering importantoperational benefits, sales force automation is just the firststep in realizing the full potential of technology in thesales organization. Companies that fully utilizing salesmanagement tools have moved beyond sales forceautomation technologies to implement strategic sales tools.They draw on technologies that support the analysis ofcustomer and competitor information to improve thestrategic focus of sales activities. They have also movebeyond simply winning sales force acceptance of newsales management technologies to create a sales culturewhere the sales force becomes active contributors to thedevelopment of knowledge about customers andcompetitors.

DRU-2165-NSF From Channel Diversity to ChannelStrategy. B. Keltner. 1999.

The strategic design of sales and service channels hasbecome a key determinant of competitive performance inan increasing number of industries. Based on datacollected in thirty companies in a range of product andservice industries, this paper presents a simple, three stepmethod to help managers use their sales and servicechannels strategically. Step one of the method is to reviewexisting channel options to select a set of channels withthe functionality needed to fully meet target customers'requirements. Step two is to integrate the selected channelsinto a channel band strategy that brings a company'sbusiness strategy effectively forward into the marketplace.

DRU-2180 Conceptualizing Poverty: A Look Insidethe Indonesian Household. V. A. Beard. 1999.

As a result of the recent crisis in Indonesia, the question ofhow to conceptualize poverty is on the forefront of thenation's social and political agenda. Through an in-depthlook inside the Indonesian household, this paper exploresthe continual tension in the poverty literature between the"reductionists" who confine poverty to a limited set ofvariables, and the "generalists" who believe that poverty isa broader, more complex phenomena. Through theanalysis of an ethnographic case study based inYogyakarta, Indonesia, this paper examines how localresidents conceptualize poverty. Residents identifiedmultiple facets of poverty, including: food insecurity,inadequate income and employment, single incomehouseholds, inequality, inability to keep pace withmodernization, and social exclusion. In addition, residentsdescribed poverty as "a lack of everything"—serbakekurangan. This conceptualization provides insight intothe interaction among the various facets of poverty that inturn make poverty a dynamic and intractable process. Thefinding is congruent with the "generalist" view of povertyand is significant for policymakers as they formulatealleviation strategies.

DRU-2215-NICHD Marriage, Assets, and Savings. J.Lupton, J. P. Smith. 1999.

This paper explores the relationship between householdtype and asset accumulation. Householders aredistinguished principally along standard demographiclines—whether they marry, divorce, separate, or becomewidowed. Recently, new data have become available thatplace far more emphasis on the breadth and quality ofasset measurement. One of these new surveys—the Healthand Retirement Survey (HRS)—is ideal for depicting thenature and magnitude of wealth disparities acrosshouseholds. Wealth is one of the core modules, and, as aresult, considerable survey resources and time were spentin improving the quality and inclusiveness of the assetinformation collected. Unfortunately, at the current timeonly baseline HRS data are available. To model thedynamic process of household accumulation, the 1984 and1989 wealth modules of the Panel Study of IncomeDynamics (PSID) are used.

This study investigated the efficacy of an interventionprogram (the Depression Prevention Program forChildren), which was successful overall in preventingdepressive symptoms in 5th and 6th grade children, for asubset of those children—those whose parents havedivorced. The 12-week program taught cognitive andsocial problem solving skills to children in group sessionsconducted in their middle schools. There were 59 childrenin the treatment group—thirty-one (31) children fromintact families and 28 children whose parents weredivorced. The children completed the children'sDepression Inventory at pretest, posttest, and at 6-monthintervals after completion for a 2-year period. Theprogram was effective in preventing depressive symptomsin both groups. However, there was a significant group xtime interaction, indicating that for children of divorce, theeffectiveness may begin to diminish over time. Thesefindings are discussed in terms of the various factorswhich might influence the response of children of divorceto this and other interventions. (Reprinted from Journal ofDivorce & Remarriage.

The objective of this study was to develop review criteriato assess the quality of care for three major chronicdiseases: adult asthma, stable angina, and non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus. The results show theimportance of a systematic approach to combiningevidence with expert opinion to develop review criteria forassessing the quality of three chronic diseases in generalpractice. The evidence base for the criteria was oftenincomplete, and explicit methods need to be used tocombine evidence with expert opinion where evidence isnot available.

In this study, the author explored methods for detectinggender-based differential item functioning on a 12th-gradeconstructed-response (CR) science test administered aspart of the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988(NELS:88). The primary difficulty encountered with manyCR tests is the absence of a reliable and appropriatemeasure of ability on which to condition. In this study,several combinations of conditioning variables wereexplored, and results were supplemented with evidencefrom interviews of students who completed the test items.The study revealed that one item in particular displayed alarge male advantage and contributed to the genderdifference on total score. Results were similar to thoseobtained with the NELS:88 multiple-choice test. In bothcases, gender differences were largest on items thatinvolved visualization and called on knowledge acquiredoutside of school. Implications for users of large-scaleassessment results are discussed. (Reprinted from AppliedMeasurement in Education.

LRP-199900-13 Collateral Damage in the War onDrugs: HIV Risk Among Injection Drug Users. R. N.Bluthenthal, J. Lorvick, A. H. Kral, E. A. Erringer, J. G.Kahn.

This paper discusses whether two key War on Drugspolicies, the criminalization of syringes and thedisqualification of drug users from the SupplementalSecurity Income (SSI) program, are associated withinjection-related human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)risk behaviors among injection drug users (IDUs). IDUswere interviewed regarding HIV risk behaviors, drug use,and criminal activities in six San Francisco Bay Areacommunities in 1996 and followed through 1997 (n =1257). Multivariate analysis was conducted to examine theassociation between concern about arrest while carryingdrug paraphernalia and injection-related risk behaviors.Regarding SSI, respondents were interviewed before(1996) and after (1997) drug and alcohol addicts weredisqualified from SSI (n = 88). Bivariate analysis wasconducted comparing IDUs who lost SSI benefits withthose who retained benefits. Among our study sample,32% of IDUs reported being concerned about possiblearrest while carrying drug paraphernalia. In multivariateanalysis, concerned IDUs were over one and one-halftimes more likely to share syringes than IDUs notconcerned (adjusted odds ratio = 1.74; 95% confidenceinterval = 1.24, 2.44). Regarding SSI, 60% (53/88) ofbaseline SSI recipients had lost benefits by their follow-upinterview. IDUs who lost benefits were more likely toparticipate in illegal activities (48 vs. 27%; P < 0.05),more likely to share syringes (17 vs. 0%; P < 0.05) andinjected drugs on average more (43.8 vs. 36.4 per month;P < 0.03) than those who retained benefits. These datasuggest that War on Drugs policies that deny injectionequipment and federal income support to IDUs alsoincrease their risk for HIV infection. These policies shouldbe reconsidered.

LRP-199900-14 What Pediatricians Can Do toFurther Youth Violence Prevention: A Qualitative Study.S. Barkin, G. Ryan, L. Gelberg.

OBJECTIVE: Youth violence is a public health problemworld wide. However, the United States has the worst rateof youth violence among industrialized countries. Thisstudy was conducted to learn what pediatricians,community leaders, and parents think the doctor's role is inyouth violence prevention during the well-childexamination for children. METHODS: Interviews wereconducted with pediatricians, community leaders, andparents living or working in Los Angeles, California.RESULTS: All three groups interviewed believed that thephysician should incorporate violence preventioncounseling as part of the well-child examination. Themechanism of action differed for the three groups. Almosthalf of pediatricians' statements focused on their role asprevention counselor, with respect to such issues asappropriate discipline and gun safety. One third ofcommunity leaders' statements, however, related tophysician referral to existing community resources. Morethan half of parents' statements referred to the pediatricianas someone who can directly educate their child aboutmaking positive choices. CONCLUSIONS: Althoughpediatricians cannot solve the problem of youth violencealone, findings from this study suggest that they shouldaddress this issue with their patients and should work intandem with existing community resources to further asolution to this growing epidemic.

LRP-199900-15 New Research Alliances in the Eraof Managed Care. W. Goldman, R. Sturm, J. McCulloch.

Background: The rise of managed behavioral health carein the United States was accompanied by reductions incosts, which has shifted the policy debate from concernsabout rising costs to questions of universal access, mentalhealth benefits at parity with medical benefits and qualityof care. To meet these new challenges, managed careorganizations, the purchasers of health care and academicservices researchers must work together in new ways.Aims of the Study: This paper discusses collaborativeefforts between a for-profit managed care firm, academiaand purchasers of health care coverage to study parity formental health and substance abuse and how this effort hasbecome part of a research strategy to inform policy.Historical, strategic and methodological issues arepresented. Methods: Case Study. Results: Although thebenefits from cooperative research are substantial, thereare severe hurdles. Managed care organizations often havedata that could answer pressing policy questions, yet these

data are rarely used by researchers because it is difficult toobtain access and because analyzing the data requirescomputing facilities and skills that are not common inhealth services research. In turn, managed careorganizations can learn how to design and implementmore informative data systems that eventually lead tomore cost-effective care, but there often are moreimmediately pressing business considerations andsometimes resistance to outside scrutiny. Importantfeatures that made this cooperation successful includestrong support from the senior management in thecompany, including complete access to their extensivedatabases, and established funding for a managed careresearch center by the National Institute of Mental Health.Conclusion: This paper illustrates the potential ofcollaborative research. New research challenges, such asthe linkages between quality and cost-effectiveness inactual practice settings, can only be met successfully if webuild alliances among payors, managed care companiesand academic researchers.

LRP-199901-01 Does It Pay to Attend an ElitePrivate College? Cross Cohort Evidence on the Effects ofCollege Quality on Earnings. D. J. Brewer, E. Eide, R. G.Ehrenberg.

Although a substantial and rising labor market premium isassociated with college attendance in general, little isknown about how this premium varies across institutionsof different types and across time. In this paper the authorsexplicitly model high school students' choice of collegetype (characterized by selectivity and control) based onindividual and family characteristics (including ability andparental economic status) and an estimate of the net costsof attendance. The authors estimate selectivity-correctedoutcome equations using data from both the NationalLongitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 andHigh School and Beyond, which permit them to determinethe effects of college quality on wages and earnings andhow this effect varies across time. Even after controllingfor selection effects, strong evidence emerges of asignificant economic return to attending an elite privateinstitution, and some evidence suggests this premium hasincreased over time.

LRP-199901-02 Drug Paraphernalia Laws andInjection-Related Infectious Disease Risk Among DrugInjectors. R. N. Bluthenthal, A. H. Kral, E. A. Erringer, B.R. Edlin.

Drug paraphernalia laws in 47 U.S. states make it illegalfor injection drug users (IDUS) to possess syringes. It has

been suggested that these laws lead to syringe sharing bydeterring IDUs from carrying their own syringes. Weexamined the relationship between concern about arrestwhile carrying drug paraphernalia and injection-relatedrisk behaviors among street-recruited IDUs in NorthernCalifornia. In 1996, 424 IDUs were interviewed, of whom76 percent were African American, 36 percent werefemale, and 15 percent were HIV positive. Thirty-fivepercent (150) reported concern about being arrested whilecarrying drug paraphernalia. In multivariate analyses thatcontrolled for potential confounders, IDUs concernedabout being arrested were significantly more likely thanother IDUs to share syringes (adjusted odds ratio AOR=2.28; 95 percent confidence interval CI 1.19, 4.34) andinjection supplies (AOR= 3.23; 95 percent CI=2.03, 5.13).These data suggest that decriminalizing syringes andneedles would likely result in reductions in the behaviorsthat expose IDUs to blood borne viruses.

LRP-199902-02 Physician Perceptions of Barriers toCare for Inner-City Latino Children with Asthma. M. E.Lara, F. Allen, L. Lange.

This article describes physician perspectives on barriers toquality primary care experienced by inner-city childrenwith asthma and presents policy recommendations toreduce these barriers. The authors interviewed 30physicians who take care of children with asthma in aninner-city Latino neighborhood, conducted a qualitativeanalysis of interview themes, and used a consensus groupmethod to recommend policy actions. Inner-cityphysicians described significant access, quality of care,and other barriers in providing state-of-the-art primarycare for asthma. Physicians recommended that eliminatingfinancial barriers to care, including lack of healthinsurance and/or comprehensive health coverage fornecessary medications and equipment, is the mostimportant required policy action. In addition, inner-cityphysicians recommended that medical care and publichealth programs provide bilingual education for childrenwith asthma and their families and train primary carephysicians about how to provide effective asthma care tochildren with asthma in the inner city.

LRP-199902-03 Elevated Asthma Morbidity inPuerto Rican Children: A Review of Possible Risk andPrognostic Factors.M. E. Lara, H. Morgenstern, N. Duan,R. H. Brook.

Latino children represent a significant proportion of allU.S. children, and asthma is the most common chronicillness affecting them. Previous research has revealedsurprising differences in health among Latino childrenwith asthma of varying countries of family origin. Forinstance, Puerto Rican children have a higher prevalenceof asthma than Mexican American or Cuban Americanchildren. In addition, there are important differences infamily structure and socioeconomic status among theseLatino populations: Cuban Americans have higher levelsof education and family income than Mexican-Americansand Puerto Ricans; mainland Puerto Rican children havethe highest proportion of households led by a singlemother. A review of past research documents differencesin asthma outcomes among Latino children and identifiesthe possible genetic, environmental, and health carefactors associated with these differences. Based on thisreview, the authors propose research studies designed todifferentiate between mutable and immutable risk andprognostic factors. They also propose that thesociocultural milieus of Latino subgroups of differentethnic and geographic origin are associated with varyingpatterns of risk factors that in turn lead to differentmorbidity patterns. Their analysis provides a blueprint forfuture research, policy development, and the evaluation ofmultifactorial interventions involving the collaboration ofmultiple social sectors, such as health care, publish health,education, and public and private agencies.

LRP-199902-04 Services to Families of Adults withSchizophrenia: From Treatment Recommendations toDissemination . L. Dixon, A. Lyles, J. Scott, A. Lehman,L. Postrado, H. Goldman, E. A. McGlynn.

Data from the Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes ResearchTeam project were examined to determine the extent towhich families of adults with schizophrenia receiveservices and whether training staff in the provision offamily services increases service availability. For patientswith a diagnosis of schizophrenia, paid claims in 1991 forfamily therapy were identified in a nationallyrepresentative sample of Medicare data and one state'sMedicaid data. In a field study in two states, 530 patientswere asked about services received by their families. Aquasiexperimental dissemination of a family interventionwas done at nine agencies; staff at four agencies received astandard didactic presentation, and staff at five receivedthat standard presentation paired with intensive training. Inthe representative national Medicare sample of 15,425

persons with schizophrenia, .7 percent (N=108) had anoutpatient claim for family therapy. This figure was 7.1percent in the Medicaid sample of 5,393 persons withschizophrenia in one state. Of the 530 patients in the fieldstudy who reported having contact with their families, 159(30 percent) reported that their families had receivedinformation, advice, or support about their illness, and 40(8 percent) responded that their families had attended aneducational or support program. At the four agencieswhere staff received only didactic training, no changes infamily services were found after one year. Three of thefive agencies where staff participated in intensive trainingenhanced their family services. A minority of families ofpersons with schizophrenia receive information about theillness from providers. Implementation of model familyinterventions is possible with considerable technicalassistance. A gap exists between best practices andstandard practices for families of persons withschizophrenia. (Reprinted from Psychiatric Services. Vol.50, No. 2. Feb. 1999.

LRP-199903-01 The Influence of OrganizationalContext on Quitting Intention: An Examination ofTreatment Staff in Long-Term Mental Health CareSettings. K. J. Jinnett, J. A. Alexander.

This study uses multilevel methods to investigate theeffects of organizational context on job satisfaction andquitting intention among staff working in long-termmental health care settings. Two types of organizationalfeatures are examined: group job satisfaction andstructural features of the work unit (unit size, workload,and level of client functioning on the unit). A review ofthe organizational literature reveals that most empiricalresearch has investigated job satisfaction at the individuallevel of analysis rather than the group level. The authorsargue that the affective context of a group has real andmeasurable consequences for individual attitudes andbehavior, independent of individual attitudes toward thejob. Using multilevel modeling, study findings support thepremise that group job satisfaction exercises effects onintention to quit independent of individuals' dispositionstoward their jobs. These effects are both direct andinteractive. The findings underscore the importance ofaffective context in shaping individual attitudes andbehavioral intentions.

grandparents appears to have remained relatively stableover time. In this article, the authors critically reviewprevious research on the determinants of grandparent carefor grandchildren. This research suggests that grandparentcare generally is precipitated by need or problemsexperienced by parents. However, the determinants ofcustodial care (in which grandparents become solecaretakers) and of coresidence (three-generationhouseholds) are quite different. Custodial care generallyoccurs when parents are no longer able or willing to takecare of their children. Coresidence more commonly isassociated with the middle generation's problems withliving independently or with transition among roles.(Available from publisher or libraries holding the journal.)(Reprinted from Journal of Family Issues.

LRP-199903-03 Association of Dialyzer Reuse withHospitalization and Survival Rates Among U.S.Hemodialysis Patients: Do Comorbidities Matter? H. I.Feldman, W. B. Bilker, M. H. Hackett, C. W. Simmons, J.H. Holmes, M. V. Pauly, J. J. Escarce.

The objective of this study was to determine whether theassociations between reuse of hemodialyzers and higherrates of death and hospitalization persist after adjustmentfor comorbidity. The study was a nonconcurrent cohortanalysis of survival and hospitalization rates among 1491U.S. chronic hemodialysis patients beginning treatment in1986 and 1987. The impact of dialyzer reuse wascompared across three survival models: an unadjustedmodel, a "base" model adjusted only for demographics andrenal diagnosis, and an "augmented" model additionallyadjusted for comorbidities. The authors found that reuse ofdialyzers was associated with a similarly higher rate ofdeath in analyses unadjusted for confounders, adjusted fordemographics and renal diagnosis, and adjusted forcomorbidities. Reusing dialyzers was also associated witha greater rate of hospitalization that was stable regardlessof adjustment procedures. They conclude that higher ratesof death and hospitalization associated with dialyzer reusepersist regardless of adjustment for demographiccharacteristics or baseline comorbidities. These findingsamplify concerns that there is elevated morbidity amonghemodialysis patients treated in facilities that reusehemodialyzers. Although the association we observed wasnot confounded by comorbidity, a cause-and-effectrelationship between dialyzer reuse and morbidity couldnot be proved because of the inability to control foraspects of care other than dialyzer reuse.

Ninety-six female assault victims with chronicposttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were randomlyassigned to 4 treatment conditions: prolonged exposure(PE), stress inoculation training (SIT), combined treatment(PE-SIT), or wait-list control (WL). Treatment consistedof 9 twice-weekly, individual sessions. Independentevaluations were conducted at pretreatment; posttreatment;and 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. All 3 activetreatments reduced severity of PTSD and depressioncompared with WL but did not differ significantly fromeach other, and these gains were maintained throughoutthe follow-up period. However, in the intent-to-treatsample, PE was superior to SIT and PE-SIT onposttreatment anxiety and global social adjustment atfollow-up and had larger effect sizes on PTSD severity,depression, and anxiety. SIT and PE-SIT did not differsignificantly from each other on any outcome measure.(Available from publisher or libraries holding the journal.)(Reprinted from Journal of Consulting and ClinicalPsychology.

LRP-199904-02 Beliefs About Children's Illness. A.R. Pebley, E. Hurtado, N. Goldman. 1999.

Beliefs about child illness were investigated using semi-structured interviews with mothers and providers in fourrural Guatemalan communities. The two most commonforms of child illness in Guatemala—diarrhea andrespiratory disease—were focused upon. These illnessesare particularly available in rural areas of developingcountries. Comparisons with other ethnographic studies inGuatemala suggest that some traditional models of illnesscausation identified in these earlier investigations arerelatively unimportant in the communities studied here.This finding, in conjunction with frequent responsesrelated to hygiene and water, suggests that traditionalexplanations may be co-existing with biomedical views ofillness causation to a greater degree today than in the past.(Reprinted from Journal of Biosocial Science.

Kamberg, B. J. Genovese, W.J. French, V. S. Kaushik, P. R. Mahrer, M. H. Ellestad, R.H. Brook, M. F. Shapiro.

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent ofoveruse and underuse of diagnostic testing for coronaryartery disease and to determine whether the socioeconomicstatus, health insurance, gender, and race/ethnicity of apatient influence the use of diagnostic tests. The authorsidentified patients who presented with new-onset chestpain not due to myocardial infarction at one of five LosAngeles-area hospital emergency departments betweenOctober 1994 and April 1996. Explicit criteria fordiagnostic testing were developed using theRAND/University of California, Los Angeles, expertpanel method. They were applied to data collected bymedical record review and patient questionnaire. Of the356 patients, 181 met necessity criteria for diagnosticcardiac testing. Of these, 40 failed to receive necessarytests. Only 7 of the 215 patients who received some formof cardiac testing had tests that were judged to beinappropriate. Underuse was significantly more commonin patients with only a high school education and thosewithout health insurance. In a multivariate logisticregression model, only the lack of a post-high schooleducation was a significant predictor of underuse. Theauthors conclude that among patients with new-onset crestpain, underuse of diagnostic testing for coronary arterydisease was much more common than overuse. Underusewas primarily associated with lower levels of patienteducation. (Reprinted from American Journal of Medicine.Vol. 106. Apr. 1999.

LRP-199905-01 Market Power and Hospital Pricing:Are Nonprofits Different? G. Melnick, E. B. Keeler, J.Zwanziger.

Dramatic changes in hospitals' operating environments areleading to major restructuring of hospital organizations.Hospital mergers and acquisitions are increasing eachyear, and conversions by hospitals to different forms ofownership also are continuing apace. Such changes requirepolicymakers and regulators to develop and implementpolicies to ensure that consumers' interests are protected.An important consideration in this process is the impact onthe price of hospital care following such transactions. Thispaper reviews empirical evidence that mergers that reduce

competition will lead to price increases at both merginghospitals and their competitors, regardless of ownershipstatus. The authors show that nonprofit and governmenthospitals have steadily become more willing to raise pricesto exploit market power and discuss the implications forantitrust regulators and agencies that must approvenonprofit conversions.

LRP-199905-02 How Expensive Are UnlimitedSubstance Abuse Benefits under Managed Care? R.Sturm, W. Zhang, M. Schoenbaum.

Substance abuse (SA) care has been excluded from recentfederal and state legislation mandating equal benefits formental health and medical care ("parity"), largely becauseof cost concerns. This article studies how many patientsare affected by SA coverage limits and the likelyimplications of limits on insurance payments, using 1996–97 claims from 25 managed care plans with unlimited SAbenefits. Changing even stringent limits on annual SAbenefits has a small absolute effect on overall insurancecosts under managed care, even though a large percentageof SA patients are affected. Removing an annual limit of$10,000 per year on SA care is estimated to increaseinsurance payments by about 6 cents per member per year,removing a limit of $1,000 increases payments by about$3.40. As long as care is comprehensively managed,"parity" for SA in employer-sponsored health plans is notvery costly. (Reprinted from Journal of Behavioral HealthServices and Research. Vol. 26, No. 2.

LRP-199905-03 Appropriateness of Referral ofCoronary Angiography Patients in Sweden. S. J.Bernstein, B. Brorsson, T. Aberg, H. Emanuelsson, R. H.Brook, L. Werko.

Objective: To evaluate the appropriateness of referralfollowing coronary angiography in Sweden. Design:Prospective survey and review of medical records.Patients: Consecutive series of 2767 patients whounderwent coronary angiography in Sweden between May1994 and January 1995 and were considered for coronaryrevascularisation. Main outcome measures: Percentage ofpatients referred for coronary artery bypass graft surgery(CABG) and percutaneous transluminal coronaryangioplasty (PTCA) for indications that were judgednecessary, appropriate, uncertain, and inappropriate by amultispecialty Swedish national expert panel using theRAND/University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)appropriateness method, and the percentage of patientsreferred for continued medical management who metnecessity criteria for revascularisation. Results: Half thepatients were referred for CABG, 25% for PTCA, and

114

25% for continued medical therapy. CABG was judgedappropriate or necessary for 78% of patients, uncertain forI2% and inappropriate for 10%. For PTCA the figureswere 32%, 30% and 38%, respectively. Two factorscontributed to the high inappropriate rate. Many of thesepatients did not have "significant" coronary artery disease(although all had at least one stenosis > 50%) or they weretreated with less than gb soptimal gc s medical therapy.While 96% of patients who met necessity criteria forrevascularisation were appropriately referred forrevascularisaition, 4% were referred for continued medicaltherapy. Conclusions: Using the RAND/UCLAappropriateness method and the definitions agreed to bythe expert panel, which may be considered conservativetoday, it was found that 19% of Swedish patients werereferred for coronary revascularisation judgedinappropriate. Since some cardiovascular proceduresevolve rapidly, the proportion of patients referred forinappropriate indications today remains unknown.Nevertheless, physicians should actively identify thosepatients who will and will not benefit from coronaryrevascularisation and ensure that they are appropriatelytreated.

In recent years, most health care markets in the UnitedStates (US) have experienced rapid penetration by healthmaintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred providerorganizations (PPOs). During this same period, the US hasalso experienced slowing health care costs. Using anational database, we demonstrate that HMOs and PPOshave significantly restrained cost growth among hospitalslocated in competitive hospital markets, but not so in thecase of hospitals located in relatively concentratedmarkets. In relative terms, we estimate that HMOs havecontained cost growth more effectively than PPOs.(Reprinted from Health Economics. Vol. 8, No. 3. May1999.

LRP-199905-05 Cesarean Deliveries for MedicaidPatients: A Comparison in Public and Private Hospitals inLos Angeles County. K. D. Gregory, E. Ramicone, L.Chan, K. L. Kahn.

OBJECTIVE: The aims of the study were to describe thedifference in cesarean delivery rates for Medicaid patientsaccording to hospital type and adjusted for case mix and todetermine cost implications for additional cesareandeliveries. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective studyused California discharge data for 92,800 patientsdelivered in 78 hospitals in Los Angeles County during

1991. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjustfor case mix and to calculate adjusted cesarean deliveryrates according to hospital type. Cost estimates assumed$821 per day hospital reimbursement. RESULTS: Theunadjusted cesarean delivery rate in private nonteachinghospitals (reference group) was 24.5%, compared with13.2%,17.4%, and 16.5% in public, health maintenanceorganization, and private teaching hospitals, respectively.Adjustment for case mix decreased the cesarean deliveryrate in public (9.0%), health maintenance organization(12.0%), and private teaching hospitals (8.0%). Cesareandeliveries performed on patients in private nonteachinghospitals result in an additional $13.6 million in Medicaidhealth care expenses. CONCLUSIONS: There areincreased health care costs related to increased cesareandeliveries performed on Medicaid patients in privatenonteaching hospitals.

Data are from 17,707 adult outpatientsvisiting 46 primary care, managed care practices. Patients'preferences (utility) for their current health were assessedby standard gamble and time trade-off methods. Althougholder primary care patients' utility measurements for theircurrent health were lower than other patient groups, most

Most clinical trials have started to incorporate morebroadly defined outcome measures, such as health-relatedquality of life, to complement clinical status measures aswell as direct costs and cost-effectiveness analyses.Contrasting a broad range of outcome and cost measures,the authors analyze the implications for sample sizes andstudy design using data from prior mental health andprimary care studies that span a wide range of practicesettings, patient populations, and geographic areas. Whilemeaningful clinical symptomatic differences are oftendetectable with sample sizes of well under 100 per cell,detecting even large changes in health-related quality oflife generally requires several hundred observations percell. Reasonable precision in cost estimates usuallyrequires sample sizes in the thousands. Very few clinicaltrials or observational effectiveness studies thatincorporate quality of life or cost measures have suchsample sizes, resulting in many (unreported) null findingsand, due to publication biases favoring significant results,scientific publications that exaggerate true effects. It raisesissues for the general direction of clinical trials andeffectiveness studies, as well as for how cost and health-related quality of life results based on small studies shouldbe dealt with in publications.

A key challenge for the Air Force is strategic planning tosupport the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF). TheEAF concept requires a rethinking of the entire combatsupport system, and subsequently the strategic planningframework for combat support should also be reexaminedand enhanced. To a large degree, future global combatcapability will be dependent upon strategic choices

concerning combat support system design that will bemade in the near future. The future combat support systemshould be designed to maintain readiness levels to supportimmediate deployments, provide responsive support todeal with unanticipated events, provide support for the fullspectrum of potential operations, transition supporteffectively as the units move along the spectrum ofoperations, and be efficient and affordable.

A new wave of state and federal legislation affectingmental health insurance was passed during the 1990s.Although patient advocacy groups have hailed the passageof numerous parity laws, it is unclear whether this activityrepresents a major improvement in insurance benefits orsignificantly increases access to mental health care. Theauthors investigated this issue with data from two newnational studies sponsored by the Robert Wood JohnsonFoundation. They found that states with below-averageutilization were more likely to enact state legislation, bututilization in those states continues to lag behind the restof the nation.

LRP-199909-04 Cost and Quality Trends underManaged Care: Is There a Learning Curve in BehavioralHealth Carve-Out Plans? R. Sturm.

This paper studies the performance of network plans overtime using data from 52 managed behavioral health plans.Costs exhibit a "learning curve" with additional costdeclines of 10–15% with every doubling of experience,which are independent from time trends and scaleeconomies. Process-of-care measures show increasedappropriateness of follow-up care and reduced 30-dayrehospitalization, but the relationship to experience or timeis not statistically significant. Possible causes oforganizational "learning" could be faster referrals tonetwork clinicians, increased acceptance of networkproviders by patients, selection of more efficientproviders, improved care management procedures, or

Past observational studies of the RAND/UCLAAppropriateness Method have shown that the compositionof panels affects the ratings that are obtained. Panels ofmixed physicians make different judgments from panels ofsingle specialty physicians, and physicians who use aprocedure are more likely to rate it more highly than thosewho do not. This paper sets out to determine the effect ofusing physicians and health care managers within a paneldesigned to assess quality indicators for primary care andto test the effect of different types of feedback within thepanel process. This paper provides further experimentalevidence that consensus panel judgments are influencedboth by panel composition and by the type of feedbackwhich is given to participants during the panel process.Careful attention must be given to the methods used toconduct consensus panel studies, and methods need to bedescribed in detail when such studies are reported.(Reprinted from Medical Care.

LRP-199909-06 Equity in Managed Care for MentalDisorders. M. A. Burnam, J. J. Escarce.

Equity of mental health relative to general medical care isa long-standing policy issue in the mental health field,which in recent years has been debated as an issue ofparity in insurance benefits. The shift towards managedmental health care makes the parity debate lesscontroversial, because feared cost increases are an unlikelyconsequence under managed care. The authors argue,however, that managed care also makes benefit parity lessrelevant to the goals of achieving fairness in the deliveryof mental health services. A broader policy perspective isrequired to encompass concerns about fairness undermanaged care. (Reprinted from Health Affairs. Vol. 18,No. 5. Sept./Oct. 1999.

LRP-199911-01 Determining Optimal PollutionControl Policies: An Application of BilevelProgramming. M. A. Amouzegar, K. Moshirvaziri. 1999.

This paper presents two optimization models forhazardous waste capacity planning and treatment facilitylocations. The complex behavior of firms in the presenceof central planning decisions and price signals isinvestigated and it is shown that such behavior can best be

captured by a hierarchical model. In particular, a centralplanning model, where the government is assumed tocontrol all location/allocation decisions and a bilevelmodel, where the government is the leader with the goal ofmaximizing the "social welfare" via taxation is presented.Detailed formulations of both models are developed,solved, and the computational results are presented.(Reprinted from European Journal of OperationalResearch.

LRP-199911-02 Substance Abuse Service Utilizationunder Managed Care: HMOs Versus Carve-Out Plans. B.Stein, E. Reardon, R. Sturm.

Managed behavioral health care organizations areincreasingly managing Americans' substance abuse byusing carve-outs, but little information is available abouthow this has affected service utilization and costs whencompared to HMOs. One employer's claims for substanceabuse services delivered under a carve-out arrangementare compared to prior HMO claims information. Under thecarve-out arrangement, inpatient and outpatient serviceutilization are found to decrease, but intermediate serviceutilization dramatically increases. Costs per unit servicedecrease for all services. The pattern of changes isdifferent from that seen for mental health services,suggesting that different factors may be applicable tosubstance abuse services.

The growth of managed care and the possibility of biasedenrollment and disenrollment rates have raised concernsabout cost shifting. This article analyzes the duration ofcontinuous enrollment in a managed behavioral healthorganization among members with and without behavioralhealth care utilization and among members with differentmental health conditions. Eleven large employers withmore than 250,000 members who are enrolled in managedbehavioral health plans are studied. Compared to managed

care 10 years ago, the rate of disenrollment among patientswith depression appears to have dropped. Moreover, thereappear to be few differences in disenrollment among usersand nonusers of behavioral health services, except foremployees for whom coverage is linked to jobperformance. However, patients with substance abuseproblems or severe types of disorders are significantlymore likely to disenroll than patients with less severeproblems.

LRP-199911-06 The Economic Impact of CapitatedCare for High Utilizers of Public Mental Health Services:The Los Angeles PARTNERS Program Experience. K.Kapur, A. S. Young, D. Murata, J. G. Sullivan, P. Koegel.

Los Angeles PARTNERS, or "people achievingrehabilitation together need empowering respectfulsupport," is a treatment program that uses capitation toshift risk for treatment costs of high utilizers of publicmental health services to private community-basedtreatment organizations. This analysis reveals twoimportant findings from PARTNERS. First, the economicincentives created by capitation contributed to thedisenrollment of PARTNERS clients; furthermore, factorssuch as not speaking English or Spanish or havingschizophrenia increased the probability of disenrollment.Second, analyses of health costs for enrollees in thePARTNERS capitation program suggest that the programdid not result in a change in total costs. However, theprogram increased the use of community-based care andincreased treatment costs for clients with lowerpreprogram costs but decreased costs for the clients withhigh preprogram costs. These results suggest that futurecapitation programs for this severely ill population wouldbenefit from using detailed clinical information todetermine program eligibility and to set risk-adjustedcapitation rates.

LRP-199911-07 Sink or Swim--Clinicians Don'tOften Counsel on Drowning Prevention. J. A. Rogowski.

OBJECTIVE: Drowning is one of the leading causes ofinjury death for young children in the United States. This

study examined primary care providers' knowledge of andcounseling on drowning prevention. METHODS: Arandom sample of 465 Los Angeles County pediatricians,family physicians, and pediatric nurse practitioners whoserve families with young children received mailedquestionnaires; 325 (70%) responded. RESULTS: Abouttwo thirds of clinicians did not know that injury deathsattributable to drowning were more common than thoseattributable to toxic ingestions and firearm injuries inyoung children. Only one third of clinicians stated theycounseled on drowning prevention. Counseling drowningprevention was positively associated with female gender(odds ratio: 1.97; 95% confidence interval: 1.64, 2.30) andnegatively associated with an attitude that drowningprevention counseling was less important than other injuryprevention topics (odds ratio:.73; 95% confidenceinterval:.61,.85). Clinician specialty, age, years out fromtraining, proportion of well-child examinations in a typicalweek, having children, practice setting, and knowledge ofdrowning injury deaths were not significant in multivariateanalysis. CONCLUSION: The belief of clinicians that it isless important to counsel on drowning prevention thanother injury prevention topics poses a substantial challengeto their providing such education to families with youngchildren.

A key challenge for the Air Force is strategic planning tosupport the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF). TheEAF concept requires a rethinking of the entire combatsupport system, and subsequently the strategic planningframework for combat support should also be reexaminedand enhanced. To a large degree, future global combatcapability will be dependent upon strategic choicesconcerning combat support system design that will bemade in the near future. The future combat support systemshould be designed to maintain readiness levels to supportimmediate deployments, provide responsive support todeal with unanticipated events, provide support for the fullspectrum of potential operations, transition supporteffectively as the units move along the spectrum ofoperations, and be efficient and affordable.

LRP-199912-03 Lesbians' Sexual History with Men:Implications for Taking a Sexual History. A. L. Diamant,M. A. Schuster, K. A. McGuigan, J. Lever.

Background: Health care providers may not solicit acomprehensive sexual history from lesbian patientsbecause of provider assumptions that lesbians have notbeen sexually active with men. The authors performed thisstudy to assess whether women who identify themselvesas lesbians have a history of sexual activities with menthat have implications for receipt of preventive healthscreening. Objective: To convey the importance for healthcare providers to know their patients' sexual history whenmaking appropriate recommendations for preventivehealth care. Methods: A survey was printed in a nationalnews magazine aimed at homosexual men, lesbians, andbisexual men and women. The sample included 6935 self-identified lesbians from all 50 U.S. states. The outcomeswe measured were respondents' number of lifetime malesexual partners and partners during the past year, theirlifetime history of specific sexual activities (e.g., vaginalintercourse, anal intercourse), their lifetime condom use,and their lifetime history of sexually transmitted diseases.Results: Of respondents, 77.3% had 1 or more lifetimemale sexual partners, 70.5% had a lifetime history ofvaginal intercourse, 17.2% had a lifetime history of analintercourse, and 17.2% had a lifetime history of a sexuallytransmitted disease. Exactly 5.7% reported having had amale sexual partner during the past year. Conclusion:These findings reinforce the need for providers to knowtheir patients' sexual history regardless of their reportedsexual orientation, especially with regard torecommendations for Papanicolaou smears and screeningfor sexually transmitted diseases.

LRP-199912-04 The Impact of CompetingSubsistence Needs and Barriers on Access to MedicalCare for Persons with Human Immunodeficiency VirusReceiving Care in the United States. W. E. Cunningham,R. Andersen, M. H. Katz, M. D. Stein, B. J. Turner, S.Crystal, S. Zierler, K. Kuromiya, S. C. Morton, P. A. St.Clair, S. A. Bozzette, M. F. Shapiro.

OBJECTIVES: To examine whether competingsubsistence needs and other barriers are associated withpoorer access to medical care among persons infected withhuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV), using self-reported

data. DESIGN: Survey of a nationally representativesample of 2,864 adults receiving HIV care. MAININDEPENDENT VARIABLES: Going without carebecause of needing the money for food, clothing, orhousing; postponing care because of not havingtransportation; not being able to get out of work, and beingtoo sick. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Having fewerthan three physician visits in the previous 6 months,visiting an emergency room without being hospitalized;never receiving antiretroviral agents, no prophylaxis forPneumocystis carinii pneumonia in the previous 6 monthsfor persons at risk, and low overall reported access on asix-item scale. RESULTS: More than one third of persons(representing >83,000 persons nationally) went without orpostponed care for one of the four reasons we studied. Inmultiple logistic regression analysis, having any one ormore of the four competing needs independent variableswas associated with significantly greater odds of visitingan emergency room without hospitalization, neverreceiving antiretroviral agents, and having low overallreported access. CONCLUSIONS: Competing subsistenceneeds and other barriers are prevalent among personsreceiving care for HIV in the United States, and they act aspotent constraints to the receipt of needed medical care.For persons infected with HIV to benefit more fully fromrecent advances in medical therapy, policy makers mayneed to address nonmedical needs such as food, clothing,and housing as well as transportation, home care, andemployment support.

OBJECTIVE: The design and implementation of anationally representative probability sample of personswith a low-prevalence disease, HIV/AIDS. DATASOURCES/STUDY SETTING: One of the mostsignificant roadblocks to the generalizability of primarydata collected about persons with a low-prevalence diseaseis the lack of a complete methodology for efficientlygenerating and enrolling probability samples. Themethodology developed by the HCSUS consortium uses aflexible, provider-based approach to multistage samplingthat minimizes the quantity of data necessary forimplementation. STUDY DESIGN: To produce a validnational probability sample, the authors combined aprovider-based multistage design with the M.D.-colleaguerecruitment model often used in non-probability site-specific studies. DATA COLLECTION: Across the

contiguous United States, reported AIDS cases formetropolitan areas and rural counties. In selected areas,caseloads for known providers for HIV patients and arandom sample of other providers. For selected providers,anonymous patient visit records. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:It was possible to obtain all data necessary to implement amultistage design for sampling individual HIV-infectedpersons under medical care with known probabilities.Taking account of both patient and provider nonresponse,the authors succeeded in obtaining in-person or proxyinterviews from subjects representing over 70 percent ofthe eligible target population. CONCLUSIONS: It ispossible to design and implement a national probabilitysample of persons with a low-prevalence disease, even if itis stigmatized. (Reprinted from Health Services Research;HSR.

LRP-199912-06 Predicting Clinician InjuryPrevention Counseling for Young Children. S. Barkin, A.Fink, L. Gelberg.

BACKGROUND: Injury is the primary cause of morbidityand mortality in children and an important topic forcounseling. OBJECTIVE: To describe and explainclinicians' reported counseling behavior during the well-child examinations for children aged 5 years and youngeron the following 4 injury prevention topics: motor vehiclecrashes, toxic ingestion, drowning, and firearm injuries.METHODS: A random sample of 465 pediatricians,family physicians, and pediatric nurse practitioners in anurban setting received mailed questionnaires; 325 (69.9%)responded. Multivariate logistic regression predictingcounseling on each injury prevention topic was performed.RESULTS: Most reported discussing motor vehicleoccupant protection (66.2%) and toxic ingestionprevention (62.1%) during the well-child examination.Only 31.8% stated they counseled on drowning preventionand 15.7%, on firearm injury prevention. Knowledge ofinjury mortality and morbidity rates was not associatedwith counseling. For most topics, female respondents weremore likely to counsel than male respondents (motorvehicle crash odds ratio OR 2.24 P = .03 toxic ingestionOR, 1.82 P = .05 drowning OR, 1.97 P = .04 . Healthmaintenance organization settings predicted injuryprevention counseling for most topics (motor vehicle crashOR, 2.52 P = .04 toxic ingestion OR, 2.77 P = .01firearm injury OR, 2.97 P = .001 . Clinicians placinglower importance on counseling were less likely tocounsel on drowning and firearm injury (drowning OR,0.73 P = .006 firearm injury OR, 0.58 P<.001 .CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians' knowledge of local injuryepidemiology did not influence their counseling on thesetopics. Clinicians and their patients might benefit by usingprograms such as The Injury Prevention Program to helpthem standardize their approach to injury prevention
