MVP studies conditions that matter to Veterans like mental health and wellness.

<p>Mental health is an important part of how we feel every day. Our mental health affects what we think about ourselves, how we interact with the world around us and how we generally approach each day. Changes in our mental health can get in the way of our routines, and—much like a sprained ankle, a lingering cough or chronic pain—should be treated with the help of a health care provider.</p>

<p>VA’s <a href="http://www.mvp.va.gov" rel="noopener">Million Veteran Program</a> (MVP) studies how genes, lifestyle, military experiences and exposures affect health and wellness in Veterans, including mental health. As more diverse Veterans continue to join MVP, researchers are better able to study conditions that matter to those Veterans, hopefully leading to better preventions, screenings and treatments.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MVP research supports the future of Veteran mental health care</h2>

<p>May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so we’re putting the spotlight on Veteran mental health research and mental health care.</p>

<ul>
<li>Just like your physical health, mental health is a combination of different factors. Veterans in MVP help researchers study those factors to find ways to improve mental health care.</li>

<li>Researchers are using information from MVP to study posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicide prevention, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and other mental health conditions.</li>

<li>This research helps us understand more about mental health conditions, which could lead to improved screenings, preventions, interventions and treatments for Veterans.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<p>VA offers many programs focused on mental health. Visit www.mentalhealth.va.gov to learn about resources and support, explore mental health topics and find treatment options.</p>

Midwest Farmers Using Cover Crops Take Small Yield Hit
Yields were especially hindered on corn fields and on drier fields; this may be because cover crops compete with primary crops for water and nutrients.
“I’ve observed similar sentiments among farmers—many things need to go just right to avoid yield impacts, and that’s difficult to do,” said Jillian Deines, lead author of the study and now an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. “This study is a rare, quantitative look at how agricultural conservation practices perform in the real-world, versus in tightly controlled experimental plots,” Deines added. Remote sensing data allowed Deines and colleagues to look at the field-level impact that management practices had on crop yields, instead of relying on county-level statistics.
In the United States, federal and state policies encourage cover crop planting by defraying the cost of adoption. Cover crops can provide environmental benefits including reduced soil erosion and reduced runoff of nitrogen and phosphorous into waterways, which contribute to algal blooms and the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. But cover crops can be labor- and cost-intensive to implement, and as this research shows, they can affect yields.
“Agriculture is a very tricky business to get right, and things typically don’t work out as planned,” said David Lobell, who is a co-author of the study and leads crop yield studies for NASA Harvest. Lobell added: “The combination of satellite data and powerful machine learning methods can help us make better informed decisions about conservation practices and any policies needed to support their adoption.”

Although cover crops have significant environmental benefits, researchers found that they hinder yields on corn and soybean fields.

Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
And then, you know, my job is great cause I get to work with some of the top people in the field. All these teams’ researchers that are kind of my heroes. I get to work with them all the time, which is amazing. And my job is to help them understand the NASA context, but also be able to translate what they’ve done for us and their expertise back to the researchers and managers and operations folks on the NASA side so that people understand what psychology is really about here.
Dr. Lauren Blackwell Landon, team risk discipline scientist at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Credit: NASA
Host: Yeah. Now when you say “we,” right, is of course you’re working with a team and you’re working with a team in the Behavioral Health and Performance Lab now. Exactly. What is that here?
Lauren Blackwell Landon:  Yeah, so that’s kind of the biggest part of my day. So I’m a scientist in the Behavioral Health and Performance Lab. So we do the hands-on research to fill those knowledge gaps I was talking about. So I actually get to be involved in study design and data collection analysis and writing up papers. So our lab is really diverse in psychology. We have like neuroscience folks and occupational health psychologists, I myself as an industrial organizational psychologist, which means it’s workplace psychology and teams of course fall into that. So we study things like individual wellbeing, team cohesion, team performance, and then we also kind of like to think of ourselves as honeybees. We go around to all the different flowers or the different research areas like exercise and food and habitability, and we kind of think about how psychology can be infused or pollinate through all those different fields.
Host: A lot to think about. So then within the behavioral and performance lab, how does that relate to CHAPEA?
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Yeah, so for CHAPEA, we have a range of different individual and team measures in the analog, and we are really trying to understand what it’s like to live in this isolated confined environment. And it’s a whole year with the same crew. So imagine trying to live with your coworkers for a whole year.
Documentary Series: JPL and the Space Age
The central figure throughout this 90-minute documentary is Frank Malina, whose fundamental role in the evolution of American rocketry is largely unknown and remains uncelebrated. As an idealistic Caltech graduate student during the midst of the Great Depression, Malina agreed to lead a motley crew of amateur rocket enthusiasts and fellow Caltech students attempting to launch rockets in hopes of one day reaching space. That led to building rockets for the U.S. Army during World War II. Malina helped to win a world war, only to later see his country turn against him, and declare him an international fugitive. Through it all, he kept meticulous records, hoping to insure his pioneering role in American rocketry.View episode ›Episode 2: Explorer 1Many of the strategies surrounding the Cold War revolved around two things: nuclear weapons and rockets. And in the United States, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, under the supervision of Caltech, was charged with building America’s first tactical nuclear rockets: the Corporal and Sergeant missiles. At this same time the United States and the Soviet Union were nearing the ability to launch a satellite into Earth orbit. JPL, working in collaboration with Wernher von Braun’s rocket efforts for the U.S. Army, believed they were fully capable of the feat, if only given the chance. That opportunity vanished in October 1957 when the Soviet Union shocked the world with the launch of Sputnik, the world’s first satellite. The Space Age was underway. The first U.S. response exploded on the launch pad. Only after that embarrassment were JPL and von Braun’s group given the green light. The success of Explorer 1, a satellite built by JPL, provided the world with the first space science discovery.Explorer 1 traces the story of the role JPL played before the creation of NASA and how the lab was given a vital role as part of this new organization: to explore the cosmos.View episode ›Episode 3: Destination MoonAfter the establishment of NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s first major assignment was to explore the moon, taking close up images before crash landing as part of a series of missions called Ranger. JPL, however, had grander plans.

 Million Veteran Program director speaks at international forum
2001 Budget Analysis: Department of Industrial Relations (8350)
The budget includes $2.5 million from the General Fund and three positions to administer a new workers' safety training grant program. The proposal would target high-hazard
industries—including construction, agriculture, and government (excluding federal)—by awarding grants to employers for safety training programs. According to the department, these industries
have higher rates of nonfatal occupational injuries than other industries.
While the new program targets worker safety, this proposal raises a number of policy issues that may be more appropriate to consider in separate legislation. The department reports that the
Division of Occupational Safety and Health will be responsible for (1) evaluating and approving the program administration, (2) determining which employers would qualify for funding, and (3)
evaluating the effectiveness of the program. The proposal, however, does not detail how eligibility for grants will be determined, what types of programs could qualify for funding, or what
measures will be used to determine the effectiveness of the programs at reducing workplace hazards.
In view of the lack of information, we recommend the Legislature delete $2.5 million under Item 8350-001-0001.
Increased Employer Education 
We recommend the Legislature delete $1.7 million from the General Fund for increased public information because the department (1) currently has sufficient resources for
printing additional materials, (2) has Information Technology staff authorized to develop Internet-based information, and (3) has not prepared a Feasibility Study Report.
(Reduce Item 8350-001-0001 by $1,736,000.) 
The Governor's budget includes $1.7 million from the General Fund and one position to (1) prepare and mail informational packets four times a year to 130,000 employers statewide regarding
the state's labor laws and (2) fund a private consultant to develop new Internet-based informational resources for the department. According to the department, it received a total of $1.3 million
in the 2000-01 Budget Act for printing services to prepare written documents and publications. (As of January 2001, the department had spent a total of $173,000 on printing services,
including public information brochures.)

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Since 2006, the California Legislature has passed a series of state laws which incorporate (and expand upon) ICWA’s protections for tribal communities within the child welfare context. The Department of Social Services (DSS) continues to work toward fully updating child welfare guidance and regulations in line with these state laws as well as the federal ICWA. As a recent example, since May 2023, DSS has been issuing a series of letters to county welfare directors with guidance around implementing specific requirements for partnering and collaborating with tribes in child welfare cases subject to ICWA. In addition, other recent laws have sought to improve various other elements of California’s government‑to‑government relations with tribes, including, for example, Chapter 475 of 2022 (AB 923, Ramos), which encourages state agencies to cooperate with tribes on matters of economic development and other programs. 

Disproportionate Exposure to Mandated Reporters
Low‑Income Groups More Likely to Come Into Contact With Social Workers. Some child welfare policy experts have raised the idea that certain groups are more likely to come into regular contact with professionals, such as social workers, who are required by law to report any suspected child maltreatment. For example, given Black, Native American, and Hispanic/Latino families are more likely to be low income, they may be more likely to come into contact with social workers serving these families through programs like CalWORKs. These interactions may contribute to the disproportionate involvement of these groups in child welfare by resulting in additional referrals. 
Some Communities More Likely to Come Into Contact With Criminal Justice System. Families living in high‑crime neighborhoods and areas otherwise experiencing higher levels of criminal justice system involvement—which tend to be lower‑income Black, Native American, and Hispanic/Latino communities—are more likely to come into contact with police. Police officers commonly refer families to the child welfare system in situations of domestic violence, substance use, and other circumstances when children may be unsafe in their home. In addition, arrest and incarceration rates in California for Black and Native American men and women, as well as for Hispanic/Latino men, are significantly higher than for other racial/ethnic groups.
2001 Budget Analysis: P&I, Part 5b
Obtaining state support would obviously make it easier for UC to offer these courses. Moreover, the proposed
funding change would encourage UC to provide all unprepared students—both native and nonnative English speakers—with
appropriate academic assistance.
Conclusion
Today, many students are arriving at public colleges in California unprepared for college-level reading, writing, and mathematics
courses. In this report we recommend a multifaceted strategy to address this problem by assessing student preparedness earlier,
improving accountability in precollegiate education, and funding precollegiate courses in a more equitable and effective manner.
