The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, nongovernmental institution to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contributions to engineering. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president.

The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president.

The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.

Preface

Almost nothing drives the development of society more than investments in the nation’s children. Accordingly, public and private policy makers, funders, and others have in recent years called for and sponsored the production and use of economic evidence to inform decision making on how to make such investments. The rationale for these efforts appears straightforward: better evidence should enable higher returns from such investments. Yet to date, the use of such evidence has been limited. Why? Many reasons might be ventured: politics, special interests, power of the status quo, the limits on which evidence can be quantified, and the relative adolescence of the field. Some of these reasons can be interesting from an historical viewpoint, but the more compelling question for future investments is how to improve the development of economic evidence so it can better inform those investments.

Two answers to this latter question stand out and serve as the two principles around which this report is organized: quality counts and context matters. The better the quality of the research, the better it is received, and the more likely it is to generate demand for future economic evidence even on unrelated investments. At the same time, if high-quality evidence is to be used well, it must be suited to the context in which decisions are made. It must be timely and relevant to the decisions at hand and account for many other needs of the consumer. It was in teasing out the many ramifications of these two principles that the committee convened to conduct this study responded to a 2014 charge from its sponsors—the Jacobs Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation—to

study how to improve the use of economic evidence to inform investments in children, youth, and families.

The committee focused its attention on economic evaluation, a type of economic analysis that is commonly performed to provide economic information related to investments in children, youth, and families. Economic evaluation encompasses cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, benefit-cost analysis, and related methods used in an effort to quantify program costs and outcomes and potentially to make comparisons among programs. These methods are commonly employed in randomized controlled trials, but by no means does the committee discount the value of other approaches—ranging from theory to qualitative analysis to other forms of statistical analysis—and indeed, it encourages researchers reporting on economic evaluation to acknowledge what might be learned through such other means.

Perhaps not surprising, the committee identified many instances in which the quality of economic evidence was low, such as failure to account for many types of costs, or was reported in ways that could mislead by failing to acknowledge limitations of the analysis, often forced by restricted budgets. Accordingly, a major goal of this study was to recommend a number of ways in which current practices in the production of economic evidence could be improved. Likewise, this report suggests that producers and consumers of economic evidence can gain by giving considerable attention before, during, and after economic evaluations are performed to the context or broader system within which investment decisions are made. Setting and organizational capacity matter—as do politics and values, culture and management practices, and budget. This report includes a roadmap outlining a multipronged strategy for fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships to address these issues and for improving incentives for the use of economic evidence for various stakeholders, ranging from publishers of economic research results to program evaluators.

Needless to say, the topic of this study is of such breadth that the committee makes no pretense of having covered every angle. In some cases, moreover, it was necessary to apply lessons from related literatures because the literature on the actual use of economic evaluations was scant.

The committee members brought to this study a wide range of experience and expertise, as well as common sense. Their energy was unbounded; their enthusiasm strong; and their dedication to the public good through solid, professional, and unbiased research paramount. This report was truly a collaborative effort, with multiple authors and mutual editors and wide acceptance of critiques. It was my pleasure to serve with this esteemed group.

The committee’s talents would have been sorely tried without the superlative efforts of the study staff, led by Leigh Miles Jackson, study director;

Tara Mainero, associate program officer; Noam Keren, research associate; and Stacey Smit, senior program assistant. Wonderful guidance and encouragement also were provided by Natacha Blain, current director of the Board on Children, Youth, and Families; Bridget Kelly, former acting director; and earlier, Kimber Bogard, then serving as director. The report also benefited greatly from the efforts of our editor, Rona Briere. They kept us on track, organized our disparate thoughts, and made extraordinary organizational and other tasks look ordinary. The committee extends its profound thanks and indebtedness to them.

Of course, this study is not about us; it is about the children, youth, and families whose lives are touched, often in crucial and profound ways, by the investment decisions that were this study’s focus. It is our hope that we have advanced their well-being by describing ways to inform these decisions through better use of economic evidence. If producers and consumers of this evidence devote greater attention to its quality and the context in which it is used, we believe we will have succeeded in that task.

In recent years, the U.S. federal government has invested approximately $463 billion annually in interventions that affect the overall health and well-being of children and youth, while state and local budgets have devoted almost double that amount. The potential returns on these investments may not only be substantial but also have long-lasting effects for individuals and succeeding generations of their families.

Ideally, those tasked with making these investments would have available to them the evidence needed to determine the cost of all required resources to fully implement and sustain each intervention, the expected returns of the investment, to what extent these returns can be measured in monetary or nonmonetary terms, and who will receive the returns and when. As a result of a number of challenges, however, such evidence may not be effectively produced or applied. Low-quality evidence and/or a failure to consider the context in which the evidence will be used may weaken society's ability to invest wisely, and also reduce future demand for this and other types of evidence.

Advancing the Power of Economic Evidence to Inform Investments in Children, Youth, and Families highlights the potential for economic evidence to inform investment decisions for interventions that support the overall health and well-being of children, youth, and families. This report describes challenges to the optimal use of economic evidence, and offers recommendations to stakeholders to promote a lasting improvement in its quality, utility, and use.
