Using data to make organizations better places to work is an exciting new frontier in both data and social science. But data on its own is not automatically useful—and if not created, collected, generated, or evaluated with care, could even be harmful. In today’s episode, we will discuss the promise and perils of data-driven approaches to tracking and improving diversity, inclusivity, and the overall effectiveness of workplace anti-harassment programs. 

Our guests on this episode are Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy, Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Center for Data Science at New York University, Zoe Cooper Thomas, the Deputy General Counsel for DCHR, and Luisa Ngyuen, the Equal Employment Opportunity Program Manager for the District Department of Transportation.

Since we recorded this episode, Mayor Muriel Bowser appointed Dr. Amber Hewitt as the District's first Chief Equity Officer. You can read the press release (https://dc.gov/release/mayor-bowser-appoints-dr-amber-hewitt-district%E2%80%99s-first-chief-equity-officer) for more about her appointment.

Kathryn Newcomer - Encouraging Government to Use a Portfolio of Evidence

Lab Director David Yokum and Executive Director of the Center for Open Science, Brian Nosek, discuss how the core principles of research are not part of daily practice, and they offer some ideas of how we might make them. 

******************************

Brian Nosek - How To Make the Core Principles Of Research Part of Daily Practice

For long-time residents of Washington, DC’s Shaw/U Street, the neighborhood has become almost unrecognizable in recent years. Where the city’s most infamous open-air drug market once stood, a farmers’ market now sells grass-fed beef and homemade duck egg ravioli. American University Associate Professor, Derek Hyra discusses his new book - Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City - an in-depth ethnography of this gilded ghetto.

Derek Hyra - How DC Became the Cappuccino City

What does a City Administrator do? And more specifically, what does DC's City Administrator do? In this first-ever, live recoding of The Podcast @ DC, Lab Director David Yokum and City Administrator Rashad Young sit down for a conversation.

Are you paying attention?

In February 2018, DC welcomed its 700,000th resident, putting the city’s population at its highest its since the mid-1970’s. But with a growing population comes a growing concern around the District’s ability to provide affordable and inclusive housing. Does the city have enough homes? Are they varied enough to accomodate singles, couples, and families? What will make the city financially accessible for native and new Washingtonians?

We're back and taking stock of DC's housing stock

On July 20, 2017, Mayor Muriel Bowser launched The Lab @ DC within the Office of the City Administrator. Supported by Arnold Ventures philanthropy, The Lab is a bold effort to include a team of scientists in the inner workings of DC Government.  When we first developed The Lab @ DC, we did so with an idea in mind⁠—what we scientists would call a hypothesis⁠—about how DC government could work better for you.

This bonus podcast is brought to you in celebration of the two year anniversary of The Lab @ DC. We’re celebrating with an open letter to our DC neighbors.

The Lab @ DC is Turning Two!

Followers of The Lab @ DC may be familiar with one of our first projects, which was a collaboration with DC’s Metropolitan Police Department — MPD for short — to evaluate the impact of wearing a body-worn camera on many outcomes.  Among those were our best existing measures of police-community relations — namely, complaints of police misconduct and the rate at which officers use physical force in interacting with a community member. In case you forgot, here's a reminder of the results: we found across those outcomes and others almost no measurable effect of using a body-worn camera in DC. Now, MPD still uses Body Worn Cameras, but we as a District think of them more as a vital source of public record for high profile events, and less as a tool to improve police-community relations as a result of that evaluation.

So, if we still believe there is room for improvement police-community relations in DC, the logical question is what’s next? To MPD’s credit, they've tried something new, and importantly, they chose to evaluate it in the most rigorous possible way. Here's a little bit about this new project:

We know that police officers and residents often have different expectations about policing, and they inform how they interact with one another. Acknowledging this difference and its role in shaping overall police-community relations, MPD sought to equip officers with detailed knowledge of the community. So, working with history professors from the University of the District of Columbia, MPD developed a new training program to be delivered to all personnel. The training includes rigorous classroom instruction on the history of the District as well as a tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. 

This special live episode of the Podcast @ DC was recorded in the spring of 2019. You will hear a panel discussion from the team that assembled this new program, including the professors from UDC, MPD’s training team, officers who participated in the program, and Lab fellow Anita Ravishankar who all worked together to ensure that the training was effective. You'll also hear from members of the community who want to know how this training might improve their lives as DC residents.

"To know your future, you must understand your past"

It’s common sense that governments want to use their resources effectively by investing in programs and policies that have their intended effects. But studying programs and policies as implemented in the real world can be challenging. Each method we could use comes with upsides and downsides. So how can we generate evidence to learn about a program or a policy and whether it's effective within government? And how do we know which method is right? These are the questions that we here at The Lab @ DC are constantly thinking about—how we can fit those into the normal functions of government and the need for decisions about programs and policies. 

In this episode, we’ll be talking with Dr. Liz Stuart about study designs that can be used to learn about the effects of programs and policies that provide a balance of rigor and relevance. Liz is a Professor of Mental Health, Biostatistics, and Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her research focuses on propensity score matching⁠—a tricky sounding technique that Liz will explain in more detail⁠—and methods to improve the generalizability of randomized evaluations.

Evening the (Propensity) Score

In 2008, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, launched the Family Options Study, a bold and rigorous assessment of the impact of various housing interventions for homeless families. This study used a rigorous evaluation design to examine what interventions (including long-term rent subsidies, short-term rent subsidies, and transitional housing) work best to reduce homelessness for families in the United States.

In this episode, we’ve invited Michelle Wood, Danny Gubits, and Sam Dastrup, who led this study at Abt Associates. Their research in applied social science focuses on housing, homelessness, and economic self-sufficiency.

Routes to Roofs: Housing Interventions to Combat Family Homelessness

As DC grows, the limited availability of affordable housing makes living in the District difficult, or even impossible, for many families. In response to residents’ concerns over the stock and affordability of large units in the District of Columbia, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, or DMPED, conducted the DC Housing Survey. They wanted to understand more about residents' experiences with housing and moving in particular. What motivates households of all sizes to move or stay where they are, both now and in the future? And what do these reasons mean for the availability of family-sized units and, more generally, residential stability across DC?

Today on the Podcast @ DC, we’ll be talking to Yari Greaney, a Program Analyst on the Economic Intelligence Team at the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development. She led the DC Housing Survey in partnership with The Lab @ DC, and she manages inter-agency affordable housing data to improve the District’s understanding of housing production and planning.

If you have feedback or a question for us about this project, record yourself and email your question or comment to thepodcast@dc.gov. We'll listen to every submission, and answer yours on a future episode of the Podcast.

Why People Move: Residential Stability in DC

What were some of the early steps DC took to involve data in decisionmaking? How did those efforts eventually spawn The Lab @ DC? 

On this episode, we’re going to talk to Kevin Donahue, who has been at the heart of these efforts in both DC and the federal government. He is the District’s Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice, as well as the Deputy City Administrator. In both roles, he brings an analytical approach that utilizes data and evidence to deliver tangible results to the residents of the District of Columbia.

The Scientific Approach @ DC: Step #6 Repeat

Exposure to cold is one reason that mortality in the United States peaks in winter, and a higher heating price increases exposure to cold by reducing heating use. It also raises energy bills, which could decrease spending on food, medicine, and other expenses that could improve health.

On this episode of the Podcast, host Sam Quinney will speak with Seema Jayachandran, a Professor of Economics at Northwestern University, who led a study that looked at the effect of heating prices on winter mortality. Joining the conversation are Jennifer Kulp and Dawit Affa, energy efficiency experts from the DC Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE).

Money or Warmth, a Heated Choice

Every year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, requires jurisdictions to conduct a census and survey of persons experiencing homelessness. These surveys, called Point-in-Time counts, provide a snapshot of the demographic characteristics and population of adults and children experiencing homelessness on a given day each year. In January 2019, DC implemented a supplemental, more qualitative survey with its PIT Count — the PIT Plus — to understand what led to individuals’ experiences of homelessness and what could have prevented those experiences.

On this episode of the Podcast @ DC, host Sam Quinney will be speaking with Tom Fredericksen and Elisabeth Young from The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness, or TCP. TCP has conducted traditional PIT counts in the District since 2001, and spearheaded the effort to conduct the PIT Plus. You'll also hear from Hersh Gupta, a Data Scientist at the DC Department of Human Services and a Lab Fellow, who collaborated with TCP to analyze the results from this new survey.

Collecting Homelessness Information that Answers Local Questions

Childhood is a very important time in a human’s personal and cognitive development. Unfortunately, early exposure to all sorts of traumatic events, including family violence, shootings, and community-wide disasters, is all too common for children. If the trauma goes undiagnosed and untreated, negative mental health conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression can follow.

On this episode of the Podcast, host Sam Quinney will be speaking with Dr. Lisa Jaycox, who founded a childhood trauma program called Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools, or CBITS. She is a Senior Social Scientist at the RAND Corporation, where her work has focused on stress, trauma, and evaluation of community interventions. Joining them for this conversation is Michelle Garcia, Director of DC’s Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants, which serves crime victims and improves the administration of justice for victims and offenders.

"It made me feel like I had someone to talk to"

On January 14, 2019, the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, also called the Evidence Act, was signed into law by the President. This new law emphasizes collaboration and coordination among Federal agencies to advance data and evidence-building functions. It also mandates new federal evidence-building activities, open government data, and confidential information protection. The Evidence Act represents an important step forward in how Federal agencies approach evidence-based policymaking, something we here at The Lab @ DC work hard toward in the District every single day.

To help us better understand this law and what DC could learn from the federal government’s new approach to evidence-building, in August 2019, we talked to Dr. Diana Epstein, the Evidence Team Lead at the Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, where Diana and her colleagues are working hard to start implementing the Evidence Act. We’re also joined by Jenny Reed, the Director of the DC Office of Budget and Performance Management, to talk about what DC is doing to promote evidence-based policymaking and where we may want to learn from the Evidence Act.

The Federal Evidence Act: What Local Government Can Learn

Policymakers often hope that transit stations will spur real estate and economic development in surrounding neighborhoods, but the results of empirical research on transit-oriented development (TOD) is mixed.

In Los Angeles, which has built a substantial intra-city rail network since 1990, most new stations were added to an already dense built environment, with auto-oriented zoning and established land use patterns. Through case studies of five LA Metro stations, Jenny Schuetz from the Brookings Institution assesses the relative importance of land markets, zoning, and other policy interventions in facilitating or constraining changes in development patterns after the stations opened.

Aligning the stars for transit-oriented development

The 2020 Census is here. With growth in computing power, advances in mathematics, and easy access to large, public databases, how is the U.S. Census Bureau ensuring respondent privacy and confidentiality at every stage of the data lifecycle? Dr. John Abowd, Associate Director for Research and Methodology and Chief Scientist at the Census Bureau, joins us to talk about differential privacy and the new confidentiality protection system that will provide the foundation for safeguarding all the data of the 2020 Census.

Protecting the Confidentiality of the 2020 Census

Universal basic income (UBI), also referred to as a guaranteed minimum income, income guarantee, or unconditional cash transfer, involves regularly giving cash without conditions directly to everyone within a geographic or political territory on a long-term basis. The idea has become a widely discussed measure in policy circles around the world.

Ioana Marinescu covers the evidence relevant to UBI's potential impact in the United States. Many studies did not find or found a very small effect on the likelihood that recipients stop working, work less, or earn less. The evidence does show that a UBI can improve health and educational outcomes and decrease criminality and drug & alcohol use, especially among the most disadvantaged youths.

No Strings Attached: The Effects of UBI in the U.S.

As The Lab and the rest of the DC government respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency, we’re releasing a series of past podcasts from our archives.

In this episode, former Lab Director, David Yokum, speaks with Benoy Jacob, Associate Professor in the School of Public Policy and Leadership at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to explore the relationship between trust and civic engagement and what it means for the governance of the country.

What's trust got to do with it? - From the archives

The Podcast @ DC puts  cutting-edge research in conversation with the bureaucratic realities of government. We get in the weeds on how to put science into action. Topics are as diverse as the challenges our city government tackles.

The show is hosted by The Lab @ DC in the Office of the City Administrator for the District of Columbia.
