🏅 Exciting News from the Stanford Mental Health Summit! 🏅 We are thrilled to share that Dr. Keith Humphreys and former Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy have been honored with the 2024 "Mentee" Award for Excellence in Mental Health Policy and Service. This prestigious award, presented at the Stanford Mental Healthcare Innovations Summit, recognizes their unwavering commitment to advancing mental health care through policy. Dr. Humphreys, a distinguished professor at Stanford, has made significant contributions to addiction treatment and recovery. His research and policy work, including the recent Stanford-Lancet Commission on the North American Opioid Crisis, which outlines policy solutions across seven core domains, have shaped national and international strategies. His impactful work includes practical implementations, such as his efforts in Iraq, and has helped countless individuals on their path to recovery. Patrick J. Kennedy, a tireless advocate for mental health and substance use disorders, has been instrumental in reducing stigma and expanding access to care. During his time in Congress, Kennedy was the lead author of the landmark Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which required insurers to cover treatment for mental health and substance use disorders. His work through The Kennedy Forum and his policy advocacy have paved the way for more equitable mental health care. Their combined efforts highlight the critical need for innovative approaches and strong leadership in mental health advocacy. Congratulations to Dr. Humphreys and Patrick J. Kennedy on this well-deserved recognition!

Now published, our new article titled "Multi-omics in #stress and #health research: Study designs that will drive the field forward". Short summary: the future of biomedical #research on human #health is here! In this article, we do a deep-dive on new biological profiling approaches, called multi-omics, that are enabling researchers to quantify thousands of molecules from a single blood or tissue sample, thus providing a panoramic snapshot of the molecular processes occurring in an organism from a systems perspective. In this review, we summarize two types of research designs for which multi-omics approaches are best suited, and describe how these approaches can help advance our understanding of stress processes and the development, prevention, and treatment of stress-related pathologies. We first discuss incorporating multi-omics approaches into theory-rich, intensive longitudinal study designs to characterize, in high-resolution, the transition to stress-related multisystem dysfunction and disease throughout development. Next, we discuss how multi-omics approaches should be incorporated into intervention research to better understand the transition from stress-related dysfunction back to health, which can help inform novel precision medicine approaches to managing stress and fostering biopsychosocial resilience. Throughout, we provide concrete recommendations for types of studies that will help advance stress research, and translate multi-omics data into better health and health care. If you are studying health and wellbeing, and assess (or want to assess) the underlying biology, then you need to read this article.

🚀 Stanford Pipeline Speaker Series: Insights from John Gorman, a trailblazer in SDOH investment and healthcare innovation. John Gorman, founder of Nightingale Partners, the nation's first SDOH venture fund, has a distinguished career in healthcare and social determinants of health. As a former Clinton appointee and advisor to top health organizations, Gorman's expertise in Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and health equity is shaping innovative SDOH solutions at companies like CinqCare and Edenbridge Health. Here are his key insights: 🌐 Diverse Data Sources: Leveraging unconventional data sources like food bank check-ins and car repossessions provides a more accurate measure of social health needs, leading to more effective interventions. 📍 Targeted Interventions: By hotspotting data, high-need communities are identified and bases of operations are established in opportunity zones for maximum impact. 💸 Strategic Funding: Using Medicare/Medicaid bids and administrative routes to finance benefits ensures that the most vulnerable populations receive targeted services, enhancing ROI. 🏥 Community-Based Services: Implementing a Social MSO structure and partnering with local organizations improve health outcomes and ROI through targeted community interventions like broadband access. 📊 Outcome Measurement: Measuring success through member engagement, health outcomes, and financial returns, with investments in SDOH such as housing and broadband, shows significant ROI and health improvements. 🏡 Housing Investments: Repurposing existing housing stock, such as corporate hotels, for vulnerable populations can provide immediate and impactful support, avoiding long construction times. 📉 Cost Reduction: Interventions like hospital-at-home programs reduce the need for expensive inpatient services, offering cost-effective alternatives that maintain quality care. 📈 Future Opportunities: Innovations in healthcare, such as integrating Medicare and Medicaid plans for dual eligibles and enhancing home-based care, are expected to grow, driven by a focus on reducing costs and improving outcomes for vulnerable populations.
