Meeting Details

The 2015 Public Health Systems Research (PHSR) Interest Group (IG) Annual Meeting will take place on June 16 and 17 following AcademyHealth’s 2015 Annual Research Meeting (ARM) in Minneapolis. The PHSR IG Meeting offers researchers the opportunity to disseminate their findings and provides policymakers and practitioners with information to make sound decisions to improve public health policy and practice. 

Public Health Systems Research (PHSR) provides information about the infrastructure of public health—its organization, workforce, financing and management—and its interaction with the broader health system. Applying PHSR’s evidence base allows public health practitioners and policymakers to make informed decisions about improving the public health system and, ultimately to improve the health of the population. A definition of PHSR, adopted by the PHSR IG in 2009, can be found here.
