Predictive genetic testing provides individuals with information about their future risk of developing health conditions. Determining whether a genetic test could affect the insurance industry is complex and needs to be evaluated on a per-test basis.
In this study, scoping reviews of academic and nonacademic literature were undertaken to obtain an overview of the evidence regarding digital innovations implemented to address key public health functions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This document provides the final report of a mapping exercise undertaken as part of a wider study that was commissioned by ECDC and undertaken by RAND Europe between November 2019 and April 2020.
This study assesses the landscape of longitudinal data collection on gambling in the UK. This includes identifying data sources, scoping opportunities to add questions on gambling to existing studies and assessing the feasibility and cost of setting up a new longitudinal study on gambling.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant burden on the healthcare system and on children and their parents and caregivers. We estimate RSV in children under 5 in the UK costs £80 million each year: £14 million of productivity losses, £1.5 million of out-of-pocket expenses for parents/carers, and £65 million of healthcare costs.
This paper contributes to a well-rounded understanding of clinical and healthcare systems-related challenges and improvement opportunities in the care of patients with a rare disease called central diabetes insipidus.
The study analyses the causes and consequences of coercive control and psychological violence against women.
The ability to sequence and understand different variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and their impact is crucial to inform policy and public health decisions. RAND Europe evaluated how the COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium contributed to the pandemic response in the United Kingdom.
The Australian Dental Council's approach to dental program accreditation uses directive, anticipatory, strategic, stakeholder, and relational impact mechanisms to influence education providers and ensure graduates are sufficiently competent.
We conducted an evidence review of academic and grey literature and legal and regulatory documents to identify the key factors driving pesticide use in the EU. A PESTLE framework was used to structure the approach and identify potential factors across different influence areas.

This study aimed to identify, characterize, and differentiate between different approaches to digital facilitation in primary care, establish what is known about the effectiveness of different approaches, and understand the enablers of digital facilitation.
This study's overarching conclusion is that a drug's expected financial return ultimately determines whether it is developed up to launch.
We aimed to evaluate whether or not the increased use of telephone triage would affect access to primary care differently for people living with multimorbidity than for other patients.
This study evaluates how one example of a technology using home-based sensors with AI capabilities was implemented in three case study sites across England. The focus of this study was on decision-making processes and implementation.
This is a summary of the findings of a rapid evidence review and economic analysis commissioned by the International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO) to advise policymakers on how to improve NHS staff wellbeing.
The main findings of this study highlight the magnitude of general equilibrium effects when assessing the potential productivity costs associated with health conditions.
This study looks at the prevalence of poor indoor climate in Europe, its impact on health and well-being, as well as its wider socio-economic costs, using a literature review, a statistical analysis of pan-European household survey data, and economic modelling.
An analysis of AMR Industry Alliance contributions to the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
This study offers a provisional framework that can help in structuring thinking, policy and practice. By outlining the range of domains relevant to remote antenatal care, this framework is likely to be of value in guiding policy, practice and research.
The aim of this study was to determine how attitudes toward the return of genomic research results vary internationally.
This study aimed to explore and identify globally: (i) what types of evidence are produced, shared and used, and by whom, and (ii) how OSH decisions are informed and the role evidence plays in this process. Using data from a rapid evidence assessment and stakeholder engagement activities, two conceptual models were developed. One mapped different actors and agencies and the other highlighted processes at an operational and systems level.
This document provides the final report of a scoping review undertaken as part of a wider study that was commissioned by ECDC and undertaken by RAND Europe between November 2019 and April 2020.
Spotlight 2021–2022 highlights selected RAND Europe projects that address the important issues of our time. It also features research that is poised to make a difference in the coming year.
