EMDR Research Foundation Research Grant Awards
Deadline: September 1, 2014
To celebrate 25 years of EMDR therapy research, the EMDR Research Foundation is offering at least one $25000 Research Grant Award. The EMDR Research Foundation priorities are: 1) advancing evidence based practice: increase the availability of quality EMDR research in areas where more evidence is needed; 2) addressing the global burden of trauma: investigate the use of EMDR in natural or man-made disaster responses, by determining the effectiveness of the following protocols: early intervention protocols, the child or adult group protocols, or the use of EMDR standard protocols in disaster response; 3) building clinical evidence: There are a number of areas where EMDR therapy is being used, clinical observations are positive, and there are some research indicators of success. However, more research is needed to build a body of literature in these populations or diagnostic categories. Click here for more information.

National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) II Wave 3 Report: Wave 3 Tables
The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) is a nationally representative, longitudinal survey of children who were the subjects of child maltreatment investigation. At Wave 3, 36 months after the maltreatment report that brought them into the study, the children were 2-20 years old.

The Commonwealth Fund Interactive Tool - What Would Happen If Health Care in Your State Improved?
The Commonwealth Fund's Scorecard on State Health System Performance, 2014, assessed states on 42 indicators of health care access, quality, costs, and outcomes from 2007 to 2012. Use this interactive tool to see the gains that your state could achieve by improving its performance to the level of better-performing states, as well as the losses that would result if your state failed to sustain its performance. You can also see the impact of reaching for a goal that is even better than the current best state's performance. Click here for more information.
Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) Conference Volume - Family Complexity, Poverty, and Public Policy
Of all the ways in which family life in the United States has changed over the past 50 years, an increase in family complexity is one of the most important demographic shifts. High rates of cohabitation, nonmarital childbearing, divorce, and repartnering present challenges for policymakers as well as for families, especially children. Particularly notable is an increase in multi-partner fertility, or the proportion of adults who have biological children by more than one partner.
These changes and trends in family life are important for understanding both the causes and consequences of poverty. As the reach and effects of many antipoverty policies vary with family structure, changes in family life pose challenges to the effective design of antipoverty programs and policies.

Office of Minority Health Data Brief - Characteristics of Uninsured Adult Males by Race and Ethnicity (Ages 19 to 64 Years)
Racial and ethnic minorities have lower estimates of health insurance coverage than the national average. Sex differences in health insurance coverage have also been documented.Lack of health insurance coverage (uninsurance) limits access to the health care system, which reduces preventive service utilization and potentially increases the risk for adverse health outcomes. Despite the extensive literature on the consequences of not having health insurance coverage (4), only a few reports have documented the uninsured population by race/ethnicity and sex. To gain further insight into the various factors that may influence health insurance coverage and outcomes, this report examines demographic, socioeconomic, and health characteristics by race and ethnicity among uninsured adult males (ages 19 to 64 years).
