Transdisciplinary One Health (OH) approaches have been rediscovered as a promising tactic for addressing complex health risks at the human-animal-ecosystem interface. However, there is little evidence of widespread adoption of OH approaches as the new operating normal for addressing these complex health issues. We have used a transformational change model as an evaluation tool and part of an overall assessment of the global adoption of OH approaches. This assessment establishes a point of reference for measuring progress toward OH approaches being the new operating normal. Global adoption of OH approaches will require more strategic efforts to build the case (value proposition), recruiting a broader pool of One Health champions, solidifying partnerships and unifying OH efforts.

Correlations among general anxiety (A); School and College Achievement Test (SCAT); Sequential Test of Educational Progress (STEP); a creativity self-rating scale (C-R); and divergent thinking testa of originality (R), flexibility (A), and ideational fluency (O) were computed for 273 Ss at the seventh-and eighth-grade levels, and 2-factor analyses of variance for Sex X Anxiety were calculated for 4 criterion groups of 50 Ss each divided equally by sex and A as high or low. It was found that high-A Ss were lower than low-A Ss on SCAT and STEP, but the difference on divergent thinking Bcores was not significant. Positive correlations were found between C-R in males and their SCAT, STEP, and R scores and between SCAT and STEP of all Ss on the one hand and their R and A scores on the other.
