• Abstract:
  The objectives of this study were to synthesize BMD implementation and related research in the southeastern U.S. region on essential topics within the BMD framework through a comprehensive review of ongoing and completed studies on BMD procedures. The research team also conducted a two-round survey of current BMD practices to document the implementation status of participating states, analyze commonalities in project scopes and methodologies across the region, and identify discrepancies that may affect regional implementation and practice. Additionally, survey feedback was analyzed to synthesize common findings, conclusions, and recommendations across studies and to identify further research needs to support more effective implementation.
