What’s driving growth in U.S. mental health and substance use treatment spending? New research in collaboration with the Bureau of Economic Analysis finds that national spending on treatment for mental health and substance use disorders increased from $40.9 billion in 2000 to $139.6 billion in 2021, driven primarily by a rise in the number of people receiving care. The analysis shows that: • 87% of spending growth was due to increases in treated cases • 13% was driven by cost per case “Mental health and substance use disorders are major contributors to premature mortality in the United States, including deaths from suicide, drug overdoses, accidents and liver cirrhosis,” said Tami Mark, Ph.D., Distinguished Fellow at RTI. “Understanding what the U.S. is spending on treating mental health and substance use disorders and what is driving spending growth is essential for policymakers and health systems working to improve access, quality and outcomes.” 🔍 Read more about the study and its implications for health policy and care delivery. rti.org/news/us-mental… #MentalHealth #SubstanceUseDisorders #HealthPolicy #RTIDifference #BuiltonScience

Many people think the goal of a police interview is to get a confession. The evidence suggests the goal should be different. The most effective interviews focus on getting accurate information, not confessions. Research on science-based interviewing shows that techniques like rapport-building, open-ended questioning, and the strategic use of evidence produce more reliable accounts that can lead to stronger cases. That shift matters, for investigative outcomes and for public trust. At RTI, our researchers are working with law enforcement agencies to rigorously test these methods in real investigations. Evidence-based policing isn’t theoretical. It’s about applying science to assist police practitioners in achieving their investigative and crime prevention goals. rti.org/insights/scien…

Reducing risk starts with evidence. RTI evaluated North Carolina’s safe gun storage education efforts to assess whether awareness translates into safer storage behaviors. The study examined short-, intermediate-, and long-term outcomes, from exposure to measurable change. The research strengthens how prevention strategies are designed, implemented, and evaluated.

Are PFAS from air fryers a real food safety risk? In a recent appearance on Tamron Hall Show, Imari Walker-Franklin, Ph.D. put current headlines into scientific context, explaining what PFAS are, how they’re used, and what the evidence actually shows about potential exposure from cookware and other everyday sources. Her insights helped clarify the science behind #PFAS — often called “forever chemicals” — and why ongoing research and careful risk assessment matter as this topic gains attention. 🎥 Watch the clip: #airfryer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">rti.org/expert/imari-w… #FoodSafety #EnvironmentalHealth #ScienceCommunication #RTIImpact #ScienceMatters
