Exploring Health and Environmental Costs of Food - Workshop Summary - Bok av National Research Council - Häftad

Exploring Health and Environmental Costs of Food - Workshop Summary - Bok av National Research Council - Häftad

The U.S. food system provides many benefits, not the least of which is a safe, nutritious and consistent food supply.

Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Education - Bok av Committee on Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Public Education - Häftad

In recent years there have been increasing efforts to use accountability systems based on large-scale tests of students as a mechanism for improving student achievement. The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is a prominent example of such an effort, but it is only the continuation of a steady trend toward greater test-based accountability in education that has been going on for decades. Over time, such accountability systems included ever-stronger incentives to motivate school administrators,..

Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols - Promoting Healthier Choices - Bok av Committee on Examination of Front-of-Package Nutrition Ra

\During the past decade, tremendous growth has occurred in the use of nutrition symbols and rating systems designed to summarize key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. These symbols and the systems that underlie them have become known as front-of-package (FOP) nutrition rating systems and symbols, even though the symbols themselves can be found anywhere on the front of a food package or on a retail shelf tag. Though not regulated and inconsistent in format, content, and criteria,..

Generating Evidence for Genomic Diagnostic Test Development - Workshop Summary - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

\Ten years after the sequencing of the human genome, scientists have developed genetic tests that can predict a person's response to certain drugs, estimate the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and make other predictions based on known links between genes and diseases. However, genetic tests have yet to become a routine part of medical care, in part because there is not enough evidence to show they help improve patients' health.The Institute of Medicine (IOM) held a workshop to explore how..
