  • March 3, 2017 the Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States of America the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
    March 3, 2017 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Trump: On behalf of the more than 500 undersigned organizations, we are writing to warn of the dire consequences of repealing the Prevention and Public Health Fund (the Prevention Fund), authorized under the Affordable Care Act. Repealing the Prevention Fund without a corresponding increase in the allocation for the Labor-Health and Human Services-Education appropriations bill would leave a funding gap for essential public health programs, and could also foretell deep cuts for other critical programs funded in the bill. Today, more than 12 percent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) budget is supplied through Prevention Fund investments. This includes core public health programs that provide essential funds to help states keep communities healthy and safe, such as the 317 immunization program, epidemiology and laboratory capacity grants, the entire Preventive Health and Health Services (Prevent) Block Grant program, cancer screenings, chronic disease prevention and other critically important programs. For example, the Prevent Block Grant provides all 50 states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian tribes, and eight U.S. territories with flexible funding to address their unique public health issues at the state and community level. Despite the growing and geographically disparate burden of largely preventable diseases, health threats such as the opioid epidemic, and emerging infectious disease outbreaks such as the Zika virus, federal disease prevention and public health programs remain critically underfunded. Public health spending is still below pre-recession levels, having remained relatively flat for years.

  • Student, Family, and Staff Perspectives on a New School
    RESEARCHARTICLE ‘‘Can’t We Just Have Some Sazon?’’´ Student, Family, and Staff Perspectives on a New School Food Program at a Boston High School a b c d e f AVIK CHATTERJEE, MD, MPH GENEVIEVE DAFTARY, MD, MPH MEG CAMPBELL,MA LENWARD GATISON,BA LIAM DAY,MA KIBRET RAMSEY, g h ROBERTA GOLDMAN, PhD, MA MATTHEW W. GILLMAN,MD,SM ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In September 2013, a Massachusetts high school launched a nutrition program in line with 2013 United States Department of Agriculture requirements. We sought to understand attitudes of stakeholders toward the new program. METHODS: We employed community-based participatory research methods in a qualitative evaluation of the food program at the school, where 98% of students are students of color and 86% qualify for free/reduced lunch. We conducted 4 student (N = 32), 2 parent (N = 10), 1 faculty/staff focus group (N = 14), and interviews with school leadership (N = 3). RESULTS: A total of 10 themes emerged from focus groups and interviews, in 3 categories—impressions of the food (insufficient portion size, dislike of the taste, appreciation of the freshness, increased unhealthy food consumption outside school), impact on learning (learning what’s healthy, the program’s innovativeness, control versus choice), and concerns about stakeholder engagement (lack of student/family engagement, culturally incompatible foods). A representative comment was: ‘‘You need something to hold them from 9 to 5, because if they are hungry, McDonald’s is right there.’’ CONCLUSION: Stakeholders appreciated the educational value of the program but stakeholder dissatisfaction may jeopardize its success. Action steps could include incorporating culturally appropriate recipes in the school’s menus and working with local restaurants to promote healthier offerings.

WASHINGTON ~ CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER FROM: BRYAN PENNINGTON &vf EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION SUBJECT: UPDATE ON ONE CALIFORNIA CONNECTED VEHICLE PILOT PROJECT ISSUE Caltrans Headquarters, in partnership with Metro, Metropolitan Transportation Commission of the Bay Area, and the San Diego Association of Governments, submitted a proposal to the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration for the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment program. The proposal, branded as "One California", encompasses the deployment of connected vehicle technologies in each metropolitan region that encourages economic vitality, protects our environment, and reduces congestion. USDOT will announce the Wave 1 pilot deployment sites in August 2015. BACKGROUND The United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment (CVPD) Program is a multi-modal initiative to enable safe, interoperable, networked wireless communication among vehicles, infrastructure, and personal communications devices. Connected vehicle research is being sponsored by the US DOT and others to leverage the capabilities of wireless technology to make surface transportation safer, smarter, and greener. The CVPD Program will encompass multiple pilot sites over time, with each site having different needs, focus, and applications. Available funding for the CVPD Program is approximately $100 million. On March 12, 2014, the USDOT released a Request for Information for the CVPD Program to gather information from the public and private industry about connected vehicle technology and provide notice of anticipated procurements for pilot deployment concepts.
