Research reveals that the opportunities for healthy choices in homes, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces can have decisive impacts on health. This article reviews scientific evidence from promising interventions focused on the social determinants of health, and describes ways in which they can improve population health and reduce health disparities. We show that there is sufficient evidence to support policy interventions targeted at education and early childhood; urban planning and community development; housing; income enhancements and supplements; and employment. When available, cost-effectiveness evaluations show that these interventions lead to long-term societal savings; however, more routine attention to cost considerations is needed for these interventions. We also discuss challenges to implementation, including the need for long-term financing in order to scale-up effective interventions for implementation at the local, state, or national level. Although we know enough to act, questions remain about how to optimally scale-up these interventions and maximize their benefits for the most vulnerable populations.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program struggles to assist families in accessing lowpoverty neighborhoods. This paper explores a newly introduced incentive in the voucher program in Milwaukee County that could expand its potential to improve locational outcomes by providing security deposit assistance to households who move to a suburban jurisdiction. Using in-depth interviews we examine the different ways voucher users responded to the program and how it interacted with their life experiences and search strategies. Our interviews highlight the role of housing instability and discrimination, as well as the role of informal search assistance and the appeals voucher users make to persuade landlords to rent to them. Our study speaks to the limits of "nudge"-like policy incentives and emphasizes how choices about moving are influenced not only by incentives but also by a stratified housing market. We conclude with policy suggestions based on our findings that could make suburban searches more promising for voucher holders.

“…The underlying socioenvironmental realities need to be addressed-by focusing on education, jobs, housing, and basic social services. Research shows that helping poor people to find housing in middle-class neighborhoods changes their housing choices and raises their expectations regarding neighborhood, housing, and schools (Darrah & Deluca, 2014).…”

Articles in this issue of the Journal of Dual Diagnosis illustrate and elaborate on several research themes that we have identified previously: the complexity and diversity of dual diagnosis; the absence of evidence-based practices in routine mental health settings; the risks of undertreatment or overtreatment; the abundance of correlational studies, which rarely lead to interventions; the relative absence of research on peer support; the potential role of electronic technologies; and the need for creative solutions. CURRENT PAPERSKlimas, Henihan, McCombe, Swan, Anderson, Bury, Dunne, Keenan, Saunders, Shorter, Smyth, and Cullen studied clinical screening and treatment for problems related to alcohol use in primary care treatment settings. People in these settings often received substance abuse treatments, such as methadone maintenance, but were typically not screened and treated for hazardous, harmful, or dependent drinking. The absence of systematic assessment and comprehensive, individually tailored treatments will continue until health care enters the modern age and adopts technology tools that providers and even patients themselves can use to facilitate routine patient-assisted care algorithms (Marsch, 2015).Two studies addressed the complex relationships among posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, emotion regulation, and substance abuse. Tripp, McDevitt-Murphy, Avery, and Bracken examined alcohol use and gender
