One such special population is pregnant and breastfeeding women. Formulation of recommendations for vaccination of pregnant and breastfeeding women is challenging because the available scientific evidence needed to guide decisions is limited. To promote use of a consistent process and uniform terminology, the ACIP Workgroup on Vaccines during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding was established in 2007 to develop guiding principles for drafting of ACIP recommendations for vaccination of pregnant and breastfeeding women. Workgroup members included ACIP members, members of professional medical organizations, experts in the field, and CDC consultants.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Recent developments in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), which is now capable of multi-analyte analysis in a high throughput capacity, has enabled newborn screening to include many more disorders detectable from a newborn blood spot. In 2006, to address the substantial variation that existed from state to state in the number of disorders included in newborn screening panels, the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG), under guidance from the Health Resources and Services Administration, recommended a uniform panel of 29 disorders, which was subsequently endorsed by the federal Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children. After 2006, most states began to expand their panels to include all 29 disorders; currently, 21 states and the District of Columbia have fully implemented the ACMG panel. To estimate the burden to state newborn screening programs resulting from this expansion, CDC used 2001-2006 data from those states with well-established MS/MS screening programs to estimate the number of children in the United States who would have been identified with disorders in 2006 if all 50 states and the District of Columbia had been using the ACMG panel. This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that, although such an expansion would have increased the number of children identified by only 32% (from 4,370 to 6,439), these children would have had many rare disorders that require local or regional capacity to deliver expertise in screening, diagnosis, and management. The findings underscore the need for public health and health-care delivery systems to build or expand the programs required to manage the rare disorders detected through expanded newborn screening, while also continuing programs to address more common disorders.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Health-care personnel and household contacts and caregivers of persons at high risk also should receive annual influenza vaccination, as should adults who want to reduce their risk for becoming ill with influenza or for transmitting it to others. Healthy People 2010 influenza vaccination coverage targets are 90% among all persons aged &gt;/=65 years and 60% among persons aged 18-64 years who have one or more high-risk conditions. Data from the 2006 and 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys indicate that influenza vaccination coverage among adults for the 2006-07 season increased significantly compared with the 2005-06 season, reaching 35.1% among persons aged 18-49 years with high-risk conditions, 42.0% among all persons aged 50-64 years, and 72.1% among all persons aged &gt;/=65 years. However, vaccination coverage remained well below Healthy People 2010 targets. Increasing influenza vaccination coverage among adults in the United States will require more cooperation among health-care providers, professional organizations, vaccine manufacturers, and public health departments to raise public awareness about influenza vaccination and to ensure continued distribution and administration of available vaccine throughout the vaccination season.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

A Healthy People 2010 objective is to reduce to 15% the proportion of adults who are obese. In 2005, no state met this target, and (based on self-reported height and weight) 23.9% of adults in the United States were obese. To update 2005 estimates of the prevalence of obesity in adults, CDC analyzed data from the 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. The results of that analysis indicated that 25.6% of respondents overall in 2007 were obese; the prevalence of obesity among adults remained above 15% in all states and was above 30% in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Enhanced collaborative efforts among national, state, and community groups are needed to establish, evaluate, and sustain effective programs and policies to reduce the prevalence of obesity in the United States.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Chronic hepatitis B and C virus infections were added to the nationally notifiable diseases list in 2003. Approximately 3.2 million persons in the United States have chronic HCV infection. The most common risk factor for HCV infection is illicit drug use (specifically injection-drug use [IDU]), although approximately one third to one half of cases have no identified risk factor. Because approximately 80% of acute HCV infections are asymptomatic and no serologic markers for recent infection exist, distinguishing recent from distant infection based on serology alone is challenging and establishment of national HCV infection incidence is difficult. CDC provides funding to enhance surveillance for HCV infection and other forms of viral hepatitis in New York State (NYS) and seven other areas. One project of enhanced surveillance is to identify those HCV infections most likely to have been acquired recently. Since January 2006, NYSDOH has prioritized follow-up of positive laboratory markers for HCV infection among persons aged &lt;30 years because they are more likely to be newly infected than older persons. In February 2007, NYSDOH detected a cluster of HCV infections among persons in this age group by using the prioritized algorithm. This report describes the subsequent investigation by NYSDOH and the Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH), which identified a group of patients with histories of IDU who were linked through a single high school that all the patients had attended at some time. The findings demonstrate how targeted enhanced surveillance can effectively detect clusters and outbreaks and guide appropriate interventions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Measures of capacity included total number of epidemiologists and self-assessment of the state&apos;s ability to carry out four essential services of public health (ESPH). This report summarizes the results of the assessment, which determined that in 2009, 10% fewer epidemiologists were working in state health departments than in 2006. Compared with 2006, the percentage of state health departments with substantial-to-full (&gt;50%) epidemiology capacity decreased in three ESPH, including 1) capacities to monitor and detect health problems, 2) investigate them, and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of population-based services. The percentage of departments with substantial-to-full epidemiology capacity for bioterrorism/emergency response decreased slightly, from 76% in 2006 to 73% in 2009. More than 30% of states reported minimal-to-no (&lt;25%) capacity to evaluate and conduct research and for five of nine epidemiology program areas, including environmental health, injury, occupational health, oral health, and substance abuse. Working together, federal, state, and local agencies should develop a strategy to address downward trends and major gaps in epidemiology capacity.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Since 2004, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended seasonal influenza vaccination for all children aged 6-23 months. Full vaccination for these children requires receipt of 2 doses in the current influenza season if they have not been vaccinated previously or received a single dose during the preceding season. To assess influenza vaccination coverage among children aged 6-23 months during September-December of the 2007-08 influenza season, CDC analyzed data from the 2008 National Immunization Survey (NIS). The results of those analyses indicated that, during the 4 months, 40.7% of children aged 6-23 months received &gt;or=1 doses of influenza vaccine, and 23.4% were fully vaccinated. Substantial variability was observed among the 50 states and participating local areas; the percentage of children with full vaccination ranged from 6.4% to 40.9% among states and local areas. Nationally, the percentage of children aged 6-23 months receiving &gt;or=1 doses of influenza vaccine increased from 31.8% in 2006-07 to 40.7% in 2007-08, and the percentage with full vaccination increased from 21.3% to 23.4%; however, influenza vaccination coverage among children remains low. Further study is needed to identify barriers to influenza vaccination and to implement strategies that can increase vaccination coverage with emphasis on attaining full vaccination in this population at greater risk for complications from influenza.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Annual influenza vaccination was first recommended for children aged 6-23 months in 2004 and for children aged 24-59 months in 2006. In August 2008, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) expanded its recommendations to include all children aged 5-18 years, beginning with the 2008-09 influenza season. Among children aged 6 months--8 years, previously unvaccinated children and children who received only 1 vaccine dose for the first time in the preceding influenza season are recommended to receive 2 influenza vaccine doses. Children aged 9-18 years are recommended to receive 1 vaccine dose. To update previous estimates by assessing influenza vaccination coverage among children aged 6 months--18 years during the 2008-09 season, CDC averaged data from the eight immunization information system (IIS) sentinel sites. The results indicated that average (unweighted) vaccination coverage with &gt;or=1 influenza vaccine doses decreased with increasing age from 47.8% for children aged 6-23 months to 9.1% for those aged 13-18 years. Among sites, average coverage with &gt;or=1 doses among children aged 6--23 months increased from 40.8% during the 2007-08 influenza season to 47.8% during the 2008-09 season; however, coverage levels remained suboptimal. Vaccination against both seasonal influenza and 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) are recommended for children in 2009; these findings highlight the need to identify opportunities for and barriers to influenza vaccination of children.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

In 2008, ACIP expanded the recommendations to include all children aged 5--18 years, beginning with the 2008--09 season, if feasible, but no later than the 2009--10 season. This expansion added 26 million children and adolescents to groups recommended for routine influenza vaccination. To assess vaccination uptake among children and adults during the 2008-09 influenza season, CDC analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 19 states, which represent 43% of the U.S. population. This report summarizes the results of the analysis, which indicated that reported influenza vaccination coverage of &gt;or=1 doses was 40.9% for ages 6-23 months, 32.0% for 2-4 years, and 20.8% for 5-17 years. Among adults, reported coverage was 32.1% for persons aged 18--49 years with high-risk conditions, 42.3% for persons 50--64 years, and 67.2% for persons &gt;or=65 years. These results are consistent with previous studies that have found no significant increases in vaccination coverage for any of these age groups over previous seasons. These 2008--09 season estimates provide a baseline for assessing implementation of the 2008 recommendation for school-aged children. Attaining higher coverage rates likely will require additional vaccination programs in schools and expanded vaccination services in provider offices.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Maintaining the number of such facilities at a minimum and at an appropriate biosafety standard (laboratory containment) reduces the risk for a facility-associated reintroduction of WPV. In May 1999, the World Health Assembly (WHA) urged all member states to begin the process leading to laboratory containment of WPV. The World Health Organization (WHO) global action plan for laboratory containment of WPV issued in 1999 indicated a staged approach that begins with a national survey of all biomedical facilities (Phase I); the purpose of the survey is to alert institutions and facilities to the need for containment, encourage reduction of WPV materials, and develop a national inventory of facilities holding such materials. The survey and inventory provide a facility database for use in all subsequent steps toward global poliovirus containment. In May 2008, WHA urged all WHO member states to complete Phase I activities outlined in the WHO Global Action Plan for Laboratory Containment of Wild Polioviruses. In the WHO Western Pacific Region (WPR), Phase I surveys of 77,260 laboratories in the 37 countries and areas of WPR were conducted during 1999--2008.

ACIP also recommends that adolescents receive recommended vaccinations that were missed during childhood: measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR; 2 doses); hepatitis B vaccine (HepB; 3 doses); and varicella vaccine (VAR; 2 doses). Since 2006, CDC has conducted the National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen) to estimate vaccination coverage from a national sample of adolescents aged 13-17 years. This report summarizes results from the 2008 NIS-Teen and, for the first time, includes estimates for each of the 50 states and selected local areas. Nationally, vaccination coverage for the three most recently recommended adolescent vaccinations and one childhood vaccination increased from 2007 to 2008: MCV4 (from 32.4% to 41.8%), Tdap (from 30.4% to 40.8%), &gt;/=1 dose of HPV4 (from 25.1% to 37.2%), and &gt;/=2 doses of VAR among those without disease history (from 18.8% to 34.1%). However, substantial variability in vaccination coverage was observed in 2008 among state and local areas and by race/ethnicity and poverty status. For the first time, the Healthy People 2010 target of 90% coverage among adolescents aged 13-15 years was met for MMR and HepB. Public health agencies should continue annual monitoring of adolescent vaccination coverage levels to identify trends and differences by geographic area, race/ethnicity, and poverty status.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Healthy People 2010 established vaccination coverage targets of 90% for individual vaccines in the 4:3:1:3:3:1 vaccine series and 80% for the series. This report describes the 2008 NIS coverage estimates for this series and individual vaccines, 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7), &gt;or=2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine (HepA), and hepatitis B vaccination received in the first 3 days of life (HepB birth dose) among children born during January 2005-June 2007. In 2008, 4:3:1:3:3:1 series coverage was 76.1%, compared with 77.4% in 2007; &gt;or=90% coverage was maintained for all recommended series vaccines, except &gt;or=4 doses of diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine. Coverage with &gt;or=3 doses of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (Hib) decreased from 2007, likely because of the shortage of Hib vaccine and the recommendation to defer the routine Hib vaccine booster dose administered at age 12-15 months. Substantial variability was observed in individual and series vaccination coverage among states/local areas. Among racial/ethnic groups, coverage varied little and, after adjusting for poverty, coverage estimates were not significantly lower for any groups compared with whites. However, children living below poverty had lower coverage than children living at or above poverty for most vaccines. Sustaining high coverage levels and using effective methods of reducing disparities across states/local areas and income groups remains a priority to fully protect children and limit the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Nine studies have reported that laws making indoor workplaces and public places smoke-free were associated with rapid, sizeable reductions in hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, most studies examined hospitalizations for 1 year or less after laws were implemented; thus, whether the observed effect was sustained over time was unknown. The Pueblo Heart Study examined the impact of a municipal smoke-free ordinance in the city of Pueblo, Colorado, that took effect on July 1, 2003. The rate of AMI hospitalizations for city residents decreased 27%, from 257 per 100,000 person-years during the 18 months before the ordinance&apos;s implementation to 187 during the 18 months after it (the Phase I post-implementation period). This report extends that analysis for an additional 18 months through June 30, 2006 (the Phase II post-implementation period). The rate of AMI hospitalizations among city residents continued to decrease to 152 per 100,000 person-years, a decline of 19% and 41% from the Phase I post-implementation and pre-implementation period, respectively. No significant changes were observed in two comparison areas. These findings suggest that smoke-free policies can result in reductions in AMI hospitalizations that are sustained over a 3-year period and that these policies are important in preventing morbidity and mortality associated with heart disease. This effect likely is mediated through reduced SHS exposure among nonsmokers and reduced smoking, with the former making the larger contribution.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

In the United States, before introduction of a live, oral pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5) in 2006, rotavirus caused an estimated 20 to 60 deaths, 55,000 to 70,000 hospitalizations, 205,000 to 272,000 emergency department visits, and 410,000 outpatient visits annually. Before 2000, rotavirus had a predictable winter-spring seasonality and geographic pattern in the United States, with activity beginning in the West census region during December-January, extending across the country, and ending in the Northeast region during May-June. A similar but less pronounced trend was observed during 2000-2006. To characterize trends and compare the 2007-08 and 2008-09 rotavirus seasons with the prevaccine period 2000-2006, CDC analyzed data from the National Respiratory and Enteric Viruses Surveillance System (NREVSS). The results indicated that the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons were both shorter and later than the median during 2000-2006. The 2008-09 season had 15% more positive rotavirus test results than the 2007-08 season, but the number of positive test results during each season was substantially lower than the median observed during 2000-2006. Continued surveillance is needed to characterize the effect of routine childhood rotavirus vaccination on rotavirus disease in U.S. children.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Smoke-free policies, including not allowing smoking anywhere inside the home (i.e., having a smoke-free home rule), are the best way to provide protection from exposure to SHS. To assess SHS exposure in homes and indoor workplaces and the prevalence of smoke-free home rules, CDC analyzed 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 11 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). This report summarizes the results, which showed wide variation among states in exposure to SHS in homes (from 3.2% [Arizona] to 10.6% [West Virginia]) and indoor workplaces (from 6.0% [Tennessee] to 17.3% [USVI]). The majority of persons surveyed in the 11 states and USVI reported having smoke-free home rules (from 68.8% [West Virginia] to 85.7% [USVI]). This report also provides the 2008 results for CDC&apos;s annual BRFSS-based state-specific estimates of current smoking in 50 states, the District of Columbia (DC), and three territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, and USVI). As in previous years, the results showed substantial variation in self-reported cigarette smoking prevalence (range: 6.5%--27.4%; median for 50 states and DC = 18.4%).

Each jurisdictions&apos; system consists of a base system and modules that can be used for specific surveillance purposes. States also use NEDSS-like or other electronic systems to conduct surveillance on specific diseases or conditions. Until recently, no assessment had been done to describe the status and characteristics of state electronic disease surveillance systems. The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) conducted such an assessment in August 2007 in all 50 states. This report presents the results of that assessment, which indicated that, in 2007, state electronic disease surveillance systems varied widely and were in various stages of implementation. Each state had either custom-built systems or purchased systems that were customizable, with associated disease modules to meet its own surveillance needs. As interoperability becomes the standard for electronic data sharing, more states will face customization costs and the need to hire more technical specialists who can manage health information and exchange. Further collaboration and support from surveillance and health-care IT stakeholders with public health will be needed to improve the efficacy and quality of electronic disease surveillance systems.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Because of this increased risk, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has prioritized influenza prevention and treatment for children aged &lt;5 years and for those with certain chronic medical and immunosuppressive conditions. CDC monitors child influenza deaths through its influenza-associated pediatric mortality reporting system. As of August 8, 2009, CDC had received reports of 477 deaths associated with 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) in the United States, including 36 deaths among children aged &lt;18 years. To characterize these cases, CDC analyzed data from April to August 2009. The results of that analysis indicated that, of 36 children who died, seven (19%) were aged &lt;5 years, and 24 (67%) had one or more of the high-risk medical conditions. Twenty-two (92%) of the 24 children with high-risk medical conditions had neurodevelopmental conditions. Among 23 children with culture or pathology results reported, laboratory-confirmed bacterial coinfections were identified in 10 (43%), including all six children who 1) were aged &gt;or=5 years, 2) had no recognized high-risk condition, and 3) had culture or pathology results reported. Early diagnosis of influenza can enable prompt initiation of antiviral therapy for children who are at greater risk or severely ill. Clinicians also should be aware of the potential for severe bacterial coinfections among children diagnosed with influenza and treat accordingly. All children aged &gt;or=6 months and caregivers of children aged &lt;6 months should receive influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine when available.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

A CDC program goal for 2010 is to achieve &gt;or=95% participation in an IIS (defined as having two or more recorded vaccinations) among children aged &lt;6 years. To monitor progress toward this goal, CDC annually surveys immunization grantees in 50 states, five cities, and the District of Columbia, using the Immunization Information Systems Annual Report (IISAR). All 56 grantees were asked to complete the IISAR; 52 did so for 2008. This report highlights results from the 2008 IISAR, which indicated that 75% of all U.S. children aged &lt;6 years (approximately 18 million children) participated in an IIS in 2008, an increase from 65% in 2006. The majority of grantees (82%) reported that their IIS had the capacity to track vaccinations for persons of all ages, compared with 70% in 2006. Data-quality measures of timeliness and completeness indicated that in 2008, 67% of IIS data were received and processed within 30 days of vaccine administration, and data were reported for six of 17 core data elements in &gt;or=90% of IIS records (both measures are similar to 2006 results). Increased provider use of electronic health record systems can benefit IISs and their users by producing immunization records that are more timely and complete.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Since 2002, COMPASS built state and county health department infrastructure to support a comprehensive, systematic, and integrated approach to community health assessment and planning. METHODS: To assess the capacity of Florida&apos;s 67 county health departments (CHDs) to conduct community health assessment and planning and to identify training and technical assistance needs, COMPASS surveyed the CHDs using a Web-based instrument annually from 2004 through 2008. FINDINGS: Response rate to the survey was 100 percent annually. In 2007, 96 percent of CHDs reported conducting assessment and planning within the past 3 years; 74 percent used the MAPP (Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships) framework. Progress was greater for the organizational and assessment phases of the MAPP-based work; only 10 CHDs had identified strategic priorities in 2007, and even fewer had implemented strategies for improving health. In 2007, the most frequently requested types of training were measuring success, developing goals and action plans, and using qualitative data; technical assistance was most frequently requested for program evaluation and writing community health status reports. CONCLUSIONS: Florida&apos;s CHDs have increased their capacity to conduct community health assessment and planning. Questions remain about sustaining these gains with limited resources.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abarca, Christine&#xD;Grigg, C Meade&#xD;Steele, Jo Ann&#xD;Osgood, Laurie&#xD;Keating, Heidi&#xD;5-U82-CD-422347-05/CD/CDC HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Jan-Feb;15(1):54-8.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> Organization and Structure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181903c42 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200901000-00009 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>35</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">35</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ablah, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tinius, A.

As primary care providers and trusted members of their communities, CHCs need to be prepared to respond to emergency and disaster situations, as they may be relied upon for medical care and other support services. Focus groups were conducted with CHC medical directors and administrators from New York City. Participants discussed previous emergency preparedness training, future training needs, applicability of competencies, and usefulness of two training programs. Participants indicated that they had more experience with preparedness training than many of their colleagues, although participants still reported further training needs. In particular, emergency roles and responsibilities, decontamination and containment, and personal preparedness were given as needed training topics for staff. The training resources were reported to be useful and beneficial. Participants also reported that most of the competencies were appropriate for CHC clinicians. During an emergency, people want to receive care from their normal provider, and for many, that provider is a CHC.

METHODS: We reviewed accredited public health schools and programs to assess the supply of required and elective courses in law and ethics. In addition, we conducted an Internet-based scenario survey of MPH graduates. Survey results were analyzed, and relationships between scenario responses and completion of law and ethics courses were assessed. RESULTS: Of the 93 programs and schools reviewed, 14% required a course in ethics and 16% required a course in law. The majority (range = 55%-76%) of the survey respondents indicated being &quot;prepared&quot; or &quot;very prepared&quot; for each of the 9 public health scenarios. There were no significant relationships between scenario responses and completion of an ethics course. Responses to 2 scenarios (one involving food code violations and one involving a prison population) were significantly related to participants&apos; completion of a course in law. CONCLUSIONS: Few public health schools and programs require graduate courses in ethics and law. Most MPH graduates report being prepared to address public health challenges. Additional research is necessary to improve techniques for measuring preparedness.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agee, Brian&#xD;Gimbel, Ronald W&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Aug;99(8):1505-9.

The BRFSS data from 1993 to 2006 were analyzed. SUDAAN software was used to generate estimates of prevalence and corresponding standard errors, and logistic regression techniques were used to examine trends in the data. An estimated 18.59% of working adults (aged 18-64 years) did not have health insurance coverage in 2006. Trend in uninsurance remained somewhat stable from 1993 to 2000 (OR=1.01; 95% CI 1.00-1.02); however, it changed more rapidly from 2001 to 2006 (OR=1.03; 1.02-1.03). Similar patterns were observed from 2001 to 2006 for those &lt;35 years of age, employed, Hispanics and those with less than or high school education. Effective approaches to reducing uninsurance and the consequences related to lack of coverage are needed in the face of increasing health disparities in the United States.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahluwalia, Indu B&#xD;Bolen, Julie&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of community health&#xD;J Community Health. 2008 Oct;33(5):293-6.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1007/s10900-008-9106-8 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>38</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">38</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aiello, A.

Improvements in hand hygiene resulted in reductions in gastrointestinal illness of 31% (95% confidence intervals [CI]=19%, 42%) and reductions in respiratory illness of 21% (95% CI=5%, 34%). The most beneficial intervention was hand-hygiene education with use of nonantibacterial soap. Use of antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial soap. Hand hygiene is clearly effective against gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, respiratory infections.

However, there are various and incompatible definitions, incomplete elaboration of the concept of health security in public health operational terms, and insufficient reconciliation of the health security concept with community-based primary health care. More important, there are major differences in understanding and use of the concept in different settings. Policymakers in industrialized countries emphasize protection of their populations especially against external threats, for example terrorism and pandemics; while health workers and policymakers in developing countries and within the United Nations system understand the term in a broader public health context. Indeed, the concept is used inconsistently within the UN agencies themselves, for example the World Health Organization&apos;s restrictive use of the term &apos;global health security&apos;. Divergent understandings of &apos;health security&apos; by WHO&apos;s member states, coupled with fears of hidden national security agendas, are leading to a breakdown of mechanisms for global cooperation such as the International Health Regulations. Some developing countries are beginning to doubt that internationally shared health surveillance data is used in their best interests.

Many of these social factors are different for minorities than they are for whites. Policies that address gaps in these social factors therefore can address mental health status disparities. We analyze three policies and their impact on minorities: the Individuals with Disability Education Act, Section 8 housing vouchers, and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Two of the three policies appear to have been effective in reducing social inequalities between whites and minorities. Expansion of public policies can be the mechanism to eliminate mental health status disparities for minorities.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alegria, Margarita&#xD;Perez, Debra Joy&#xD;Williams, Sandra&#xD;P01H510803/United States PHS&#xD;P01MH59876/MH/United States NIMH&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Health affairs (Project Hope)&#xD;Health Aff (Millwood). 2003 Sep-Oct;22(5):51-64.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>42</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">42</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alejos, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weingartner, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scharff, D.

STUDY DESIGN: Participatory research methods were used to determine an appropriate process for data collection. Survey instruments included the Council on Linkages public health core competencies and Columbia University public health emergency preparedness competencies. METHODS: LHD workers collaborated with the state health department to develop and pre-test training for LHD directors about the nature and purpose of the survey, as well as instructions for distributing it to their staff members. The final survey instrument included demographics, a workforce competency assessment, and an assessment of training interests, motivators and barriers. Surveys were stratified by occupational type, with employees in professional roles asked to report on additional competencies. RESULTS: All 1501 Kansas LHD employees received the needs assessment survey, and 1141 (76%) were returned. Respondents reported greater mean &apos;importance to job&apos; than ability across competency domains, indicating potential training needs. Across occupational types, primary training motivators were increased competency and personal satisfaction. Barriers included lack of time, cost and family commitments. CONCLUSIONS: Using participatory research methods, the state of Kansas was able to achieve a high response rate from LHD workers. This process can serve as a model for other rural communities and organizations with limited resources. In addition, the survey results provide information about competency-oriented knowledge and training gaps of sectors of the local public health workforce, which can be used to develop training in a targeted fashion.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alejos, A&#xD;Weingartner, A&#xD;Scharff, D P&#xD;Ablah, E&#xD;Frazier, L&#xD;Hawley, S R&#xD;St Romain, T&#xD;Orr, S A&#xD;Wright, K S&#xD;U90/CCU724244/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;England&#xD;Public health&#xD;Public Health. 2008 Dec;122(12):1447-55.

The course was a competency-based curriculum with 14 weeks of Internet-based instruction, culminating in a two-day classroom-based skills demonstration. In spring 2006, the course became mandatory for all public health nurses who spend at least three-fourths of their time on tasks related to communicable diseases. As of December 2006, 177 nurses specializing in communicable diseases from 74 North Carolina counties had completed the course. Evaluations indicated that participants showed statistically significant improvements in self-perceived confidence to perform competencies addressed by the course. This course has become a successful model that combines academic expertise in curriculum development and teaching technologies with practical expertise in course content and audience needs. Through a combination of Internet and classroom instruction, this course has delivered competency-based training to the public health professionals who perform as frontline epidemiologists throughout North Carolina.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure, Infrastructure&#xD;Workforce</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>44</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">44</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allebeck, P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A new Helsinki Declaration--but what about public health research?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">129</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009/03/25</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Helsinki Declaration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Cooperation</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research/ standards</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1464-360X (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19307246</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allebeck, Peter&#xD;Editorial&#xD;England&#xD;European journal of public health&#xD;Eur J Public Health. 2009 Apr;19(2):129.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, Data and Methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ckp036 [pii]&#xD;10.1093/eurpub/ckp036 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>45</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">45</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Altman, D.

In this commentary, the Fagen and Flay article (2009) is considered within the broader literature on sustainability. By taking a broad view, public health theory and practice might be advanced further. Fagen and Flay illustrate that we have much to learn about sustainability. Questions for future research include: (a) what can we put into place at the systems level to ensure that the short-term efficacy of interventions have a fighting chance to be sustained? (b) considering the challenges inherent in sustainability, what are realistic goals against which to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions found effective in the short-term? and (c) what theories, methods, and strategies in fields outside of public health can be drawn upon to improve work in public health?</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Altman, David G&#xD;Comment&#xD;United States&#xD;Health education &amp; behavior : the official publication of the Society for Public Health Education&#xD;Health Educ Behav. 2009 Feb;36(1):24-8; discussion 29-30.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> organization and structure; technology, data, and methods</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>46</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">46</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amico, K.

In light of recent practices that use percent total attrition as indicative of methodological flaws, hosted interventions targeting hard-to-reach populations may be excluded from consideration in effective intervention compendiums or research synthesis because of high attrition rates that may in fact be secondary to the natural flow of service use or unrelated to differential attrition or internal design flaws.

However, reinvestment initiatives, changing demographics, and growth in urban areas are creating changes that offer new opportunities for improving health while requiring that health systems be adapted to residents&apos; health needs. This commentary suggests that health care improvement in metropolitan areas will require setting local, state, and national agendas around 3 priorities. First, health care must reorient around powerful population dynamics, in particular, cultural diversity, growing numbers of elderly, those in welfare-workplace transition, and those unable to negotiate an increasingly complex health system. Second, communities and governments must assess the consequences of health professional shortages, safety net provider closures and conversions, and new marketplace pressures in terms of their effects on access to care for vulnerable urban populations; they must also weigh the potential value of emerging models for improving those populations&apos; care. Finally, governments at all levels should use their influence through accreditation, standards, tobacco settlements, and other financing streams to educate and guide urban providers in directions that respond to urban communities&apos; health care needs.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 319HQ&#xD;Times Cited: 8&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 35&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     1997, MMWR MORB MORTAL WKL, V46, P861&#xD;     1999, NY TIMES 0727, B1&#xD;     1999, NY TIMES 1124, A1&#xD;     *KAIS COMM MED UN, 1998, UN AM CHART BOOK&#xD;     ANDERSON RJ, 1998, J URBAN HEALTH, V75, P367&#xD;     ANDRULIS D, 1999, SOCIAL HLTH LANDSCAP&#xD;     ANDRULIS D, 2000, PUBLIC PRIVATE COMMU&#xD;     ANDRULIS DP, 1998, ANN INTERN MED, V129, P412&#xD;     ANESHENSEL C, 1996, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V36, P293&#xD;     BACH PB, 1999, NEW ENGL J MED, V341, P1198&#xD;     BALDWIN LM, 1998, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V88, P1623&#xD;     BALL JK, 1996, MED CARE, V34, P970&#xD;     BILLINGS J, 1996, HEALTH AFFAIR, V15, P239&#xD;     BINDMAN AB, 1998, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V279, P675&#xD;     BRAVEMAN P, 1989, NEW ENGL J MED, V321, P508&#xD;     COYE M, 1993, HLTH CARE UNDERSERVE, P33&#xD;     COYE M, 1998, MEDICAID MANAGED CAR&#xD;     COYLE YM, 1999, INT J QUAL HEALTH C, V11, P5&#xD;     CUNNINGHAM WE, 1998, MED CARE, V36, P295&#xD;     FRANKS P, 1993, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V270, P737&#xD;     HADLEY J, 1991, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V265, P374&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V112, P22&#xD;     HUROWITZ JC, 1993, NEW ENGL J MED, V329, P130&#xD;     KEANE CR, 1999, PEDIATRICS, V104, P1051&#xD;     LILLIEBLANTON ML, 1999, ACCESS HLTH CARE, P19&#xD;     MCMANUS M, 1996, MANAGED CARE Q, V4, P19&#xD;     MORLEY G, 1997, FUNCTIONAL HLTH LIT&#xD;     MURRAY S, 2000, WALL STREET J 0308, B6&#xD;     NORTHRIDGE ME, 1999, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V89, P998&#xD;     PINCUS T, 1998, ANN INTERN MED, V129, P406&#xD;     RASK KJ, 1994, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V271, P1931&#xD;     RAY NF, 1998, CHEST, V113, P1277&#xD;     REICHMAN NE, 1996, J HEALTH ECON, V15, P455&#xD;     SAYER B, 1993, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V83, P1583&#xD;     SCHULMAN KA, 1999, NEW ENGL J MED, V340, P618</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000087335800007</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>50</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">50</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arah, O.

We assessed the overall ecological associations between mortality and factors amenable to public health. These amenable factors included addictive and nutritional lifestyle, air quality, public health spending, healthcare coverage, and immunizations. Methods: We used a pooled cross-sectional, time series analysis with corrected fixed effects regression models in an ecological design involving eighteen member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development during the period 1970 to 1999. Results: Alcohol, tobacco, and fat consumption, and sometimes, air pollution were significantly associated with higher all-cause mortality and premature death. Immunizations, health care coverage, fruit/vegetable and protein consumption, and collective health expenditure had negative effects on mortality and premature death, even after controlling for the elderly, density of practicing physicians, doctor visits and per capita GDP. However, tobacco, air pollution, and fruit/ vegetable intake were sometimes sensitive to adjustments. Conclusion: Mortality and premature deaths could be improved by focusing on factors that are amenable to public health policies. Tackling these issues should be reflected in the ongoing assessments of health system performance.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 955MV&#xD;Times Cited: 2&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 63&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     2001, AM J PUBLIC HLTH, V91, P501&#xD;     *AM PUBL HLTH ASS, NAT PUBL HLTH PERF S&#xD;     *MIN HLTH WELF SPO, 2004, LIV LONG GOOD HLTH Q&#xD;     *ORG EC COOP DEV, 2003, HLTH DAT 2003&#xD;     *ORG EC COOP DEV, 2004, ANN NAT ACC OECD MEM&#xD;     *PAN AM HLTH ORG, 2000, ESS PUBL HLTH FUNCT&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 2000, HLTH PEOPL 2010&#xD;     *WHO, 2000, WORLD HLTH REP 2000&#xD;     *WHO, 2002, WORLD HLTH REP 2002&#xD;     *WORLD BANK, 2002, PUBL HLTH BANK OP&#xD;     ACHESON D, 1988, CMND289&#xD;     ANDERSON G, 2001, HEALTH AFFAIR, V20, P219&#xD;     ANDERSON GF, 1999, HEALTH AFFAIR, V18, P178&#xD;     ANDERSON GF, 2000, HEALTH AFFAIR, V19, P150&#xD;     ARAH OA, 2003, INT J QUAL HEALTH C, V15, P377, DOI 10.1093/intqhc/mzg049&#xD;     ARAH OA, 2004, LANCET, V363, P1551&#xD;     ARAH OA, 2004, QUAL SAF HEALTH CARE, V13, P226, DOI&#xD;     10.1136/qshc.2003.007070&#xD;     ASHENFELTER O, 2003, STAT ECEONOMETRICS M&#xD;     AWOFESO N, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P705&#xD;     BEAGLEHOLE R, 2003, GLOBAL PUBLIC HLTH N&#xD;     BUNKER JP, 1994, BRIT MED J, V309, P1657&#xD;     BUNKER JP, 2001, INT J EPIDEMIOL, V30, P1260&#xD;     CARRHILL RA, 1987, LANCET, V1, P789&#xD;     EVANS RG, 1990, SOC SCI MED, V31, P1347&#xD;     EVANS RG, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P371&#xD;     EZZATI M, 2002, LANCET, V360, P1347&#xD;     EZZATI M, 2003, LANCET, V362, P271&#xD;     FISCHER F, 2003, REFRAMING PUBLIC POL&#xD;     HAMLIN C, 2002, OXFORD TXB PUBLIC HL, P21&#xD;     HAYES AF, 2003, HETEROSCEDASTICITY C&#xD;     HOLLINGSWORTH JR, 1990, STATE INTERVENTION M&#xD;     ILLICH I, 1976, MED NEMESIS&#xD;     JAMROZIK K, 2002, OXFORD TXB PUBLIC HL, P213&#xD;     KENNELLY B, 2003, SOC SCI MED, V56, P2367&#xD;     KINDIG D, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P380&#xD;     LONG JS, 2000, AM STAT, V54, P217&#xD;     MACINKO J, 2003, HEALTH SERV RES, V38, P831&#xD;     MACKENBACH JP, 1988, SOC SCI MED, V27, P889&#xD;     MACKENBACH JP, 1991, HEALTH POLICY, V19, P245&#xD;     MACKENBACH JP, 1996, J CLIN EPIDEMIOL, V49, P1207&#xD;     MACKINNON JG, 1985, J ECONOMETRICS, V29, P53&#xD;     MATHERS CD, 2004, BMC PUBLIC HEALTH, V4, ARTN 66&#xD;     MAYS GP, 2004, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V10, P193&#xD;     MCDOWELL I, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P388&#xD;     MCKEOWN T, 1976, ROLE MED DREAM MIRAG&#xD;     MCKINLAY JB, 1977, MILBANK MEM FUND Q, V55, P405&#xD;     MCKINLAY JB, 1989, INT J HEALTH SERV, V19, P181&#xD;     NOLTE E, 2003, BRIT MED J, V327, P1129&#xD;     NOLTE E, 2004, DOES HEALTHCARE SAVE&#xD;     OR Z, 2000, DETERMINANTS HLTH IN&#xD;     OR Z, 2001, EXPLORING EFFECTS HL&#xD;     PAMUK ER, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P378&#xD;     REINHARDT UE, 2002, HEALTH AFFAIR, V21, P169&#xD;     RETZLAFFROBERTS D, 2004, HEALTH POLICY, V69, P55, DOI&#xD;     10.1016/j.healthpol.2003.12.002&#xD;     SAYRS LW, 1989, POOLED TIME SERIES A&#xD;     SCHWARTZ S, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P819&#xD;     SHI LY, 2001, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P1246&#xD;     SHI LY, 2003, J AM BOARD FAM PRACT, V16, P412&#xD;     SUSSER M, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P825&#xD;     SUSSER M, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P830&#xD;     TENASBROEK AH, 2004, INT J QUAL HLTH C S1, V16, P65&#xD;     VANOERS JAM, 2002, HLTH COURSE 2002 DUT&#xD;     WHITE H, 1980, ECONOMETRICA, V48, P817</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000231230900001</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">81&#xD;Artn 81</style></electronic-resource-num></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>831</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">831</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Armfield, J.

However, efforts to extend water fluoridation into currently non-fluoridated areas are often thwarted. Despite considerable evidence regarding the effectiveness of water fluoridation at an individual level, published national community-based studies are rare. This study compared children&apos;s decay experience and prevalence between areas with and without water fluoridation in Australia. METHODS: Oral health data were obtained from clinical examinations of 128, 990 5- to 15-year-old children attending for a regular visit with their respective Australian state or territory School Dental Service in 2002. Water fluoridation status, residence remoteness, and socioeconomic status (SES) were obtained for each child&apos;s recorded residential postcode area. RESULTS: Children from every age group had greater caries prevalence and more caries experience in areas with negligible fluoride concentrations in the water (&lt;0.3 parts per million [ppm]) than in optimally fluoridated areas (&gt; or = 0.7 ppm). Controlling for child age, residential location, and SES, deciduous and permanent caries experience was 28.7% and 31.6% higher, respectively, in low-fluoride areas compared with optimally fluoridated areas. The odds ratios for higher caries prevalence in areas with negligible fluoride compared with optimal fluoride were 1.34 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.29, 1.39) and 1.24 (95% CI 1.21, 1.28) in the deciduous and permanent dentitions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the continued community effectiveness of water fluoridation and provides support for the extension of this important oral health intervention to populations currently without access to fluoridated water.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Armfield, Jason Mathew&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Multicenter Study&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2010 Sep-Oct;125(5):655-64.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> organization, structure</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>51</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">51</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Generic">13</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arnold, Sharon B.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">(202) 292-6700&#xD;sharon.arnold@academyhealth.org</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Building an evidence base for public health systems research</style></title></titles><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Community-Institutional Relations</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery of Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Evidence-Based Medicine</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Policy</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Health Services Research</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health/*methods/trends</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Public Health Administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">State Government</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States</style></keyword></keywords><dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AcademyHealth</style></publisher><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Foundation&apos;s Public Health Systems Research program was designed to help establish the field of public health systems research as a needed resource that will enable governmental health agencies to improve their performance.

METHODS: The authors examined 27 published population-based instruments for planning or evaluating preparedness that were mostly unavailable in the peer-reviewed literature. Using the Essential Public Health Services framework, the instruments were evaluated for (1) clarity of measurement parameters, (2) balance between structural and process measures, (3) evidence of effectiveness, and (4) specification of an accountable entity. RESULTS: There was a great deal of overlap but little consistency in what constitutes &quot;preparedness&quot; or how it should be measured. Most instruments relied excessively on subjective or structural measures, lacked scientific evidence for measures assessed, and failed to clearly define what entity was accountable for accomplishing the task or function. CONCLUSION: Strategies for improvement include measure standardization, better interagency communication, and investment in public health practice research to develop the underlying evidence base required for developing quality measures and assessments.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asch, Steven M&#xD;Stoto, Michael&#xD;Mendes, Marc&#xD;Valdez, R Burciaga&#xD;Gallagher, Meghan E&#xD;Halverson, Paul&#xD;Lurie, Nicole&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, Non-P.H.S.&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2005 Sep-Oct;120(5):532-42.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>53</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">53</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avery, G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schultz, J.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Health and Kinesiology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA. gavery@ purdue.edu</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Regulation, financial incentives, and the production of quality</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Med Qual</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Med Qual</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">265-73</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007/07/28</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Government Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Policy/economics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insurance, Health, Reimbursement/ economics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Economic</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organizational Objectives/ economics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality Assurance, Health Care/economics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Health Care/ economics/organization &amp; administration</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jul-Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1062-8606 (Print)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17656731</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An economic model for the production of health care quality is presented, encompassing financial and altruistic returns, penalties and rewards, and transaction costs. After maximizing returns from quality and service volume, the role of regulatory policies and pay-for-performance proposals in producing quality is examined. The tension between the production of quantity and quality is demonstrated. Specifically, the model shows that increasing the costs of a quality improvement program reduces program effectiveness, sanctions for low quality will not improve the performance of high-quality providers, noncompliance with regulation can be a rational decision, and some pay-for-performance programs will not improve quality for low-quality providers. The model suggests incentive structures to improve quality for all providers.

STUDY DESIGN: Physicians in the networks of 8 managed care plans participating in Medicaid programs were surveyed regarding the availability and usefulness of care management practices and the overall quality of care management. The responses of physicians in plans serving predominantly Medicaid enrollees were contrasted with the responses of physicians in predominantly commercial plans who cared for Medicaid enrollees. METHODS: Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios relating to the availability of care management practices. Multiple regression techniques were used to construct comparisons of adjusted means relating to the usefulness of practices and the overall quality of care management. RESULTS: Physicians in predominantly commercial plans reported greater availability of care management practices. No patterns of differences were noted in ratings of the usefulness of practices if available. Physicians in predominantly commercial plans rated the quality of care management higher than physicians in predominantly Medicaid plans. However, there remains room for substantial improvement for commercial and other Medicaid contracting plans. CONCLUSIONS: Commercial plans add value to Medicaid programs, and efforts to discourage their withdrawal from participation are justified. However, physician evaluations support the potential for better care management in all types of contracting plans.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avery, George H&#xD;Wholey, Douglas R&#xD;Christianson, Jon B&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;The American journal of managed care&#xD;Am J Manag Care. 2005 Mar;11(3):156-64.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2817 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>55</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">55</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Axnick, N.

An advocacy/policy intervention was implemented to reduce tobacco-related health disparities by encouraging H/L living in MUH to implement voluntary policies that reduce exposure to SHS. This article presents findings from qualitative and quantitative data collected during development of the intervention, as well as preliminary results of the intervention.&#xD;&#xD;DESIGN, SETTING, AND SUBJECTS: MUH residents in Southern California participated in focus groups (n = 48), door-to-door surveys (n = 142), and a telephone survey (n = 409).&#xD;&#xD;MEASURES: Exposure to SHS, attitudes toward SHS, and attitudes toward policies restricting SHS in MUH were assessed.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: H/L MUH residents reported high levels of exposure to SHS and little ability to protect themselves and their families from SHS. Respondents expressed positive attitudes toward adopting antismoking policies in MUH, but they also feared retaliation by smokers. The cultural values of familismo, respeto, simpatía, and personalismo influenced their motivation to protect their families from SHS as well as their reluctance to ask their neighbors to refrain from smoking. Nonsmokers were more likely to favor complete indoor and outdoor smoking bans in MUH, whereas smokers were more likely to favor separate smoking areas. The Regale Salud advocacy/policy intervention, implemented to reduce SHS exposure, prompted the passage of seven voluntary policies in apartment complexes in Southern California to prevent smoking in MUH.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: H/L in California support voluntary policies, local ordinances, and state laws that prevent exposure to SHS in MUH, especially those that are consistent with H/L cultural values and norms for interpersonal communication</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21510793</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>897</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">897</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bailey, RJ, Dal Poz M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Building the public health workforce to achieve health-related development goals: moving forward in collaboration</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Public Health Policy</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Public Health Policy</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">494-7</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">workforce</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year></dates><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21119654</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>56</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">56</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baird, J.

An importance ranking scale was combined with the performance scores to identify priority areas. Priority needs were specifically identified for developing community health profiles, working more closely with community partnerships, and increasing emphasis on health education activities.

Key components of that infrastructure are a competent workforce, information and communication systems, health department and laboratory capacity, and legal authorities. As part of this transformative work, standards and assessment tools have been developed to measure the capacity and actual performance of public health systems. In addition, a number of states have examined the legal foundation for public health services and have revised and updated those authorities to improve their system&apos;s capacity in the context of evolving health challenges. Among those states are Nebraska, New Jersey, and Texas, all of which, beginning in 1999, have adopted dynamic new approaches to aligning public health&apos;s legal authorities with new missions and expectations for performance and accountability. This article describes the approaches that these three states have taken to strengthen their legal foundation for public health practice, to illuminate the perspectives legislators and health officials bring to the process, and to give decision makers in other states practical insight into the potential benefits of reviewing and restructuring public health&apos;s legal authorities. The underlying stimuli for the states&apos; initiatives differed significantly, yet shared an important, common core. What they held in common was concern that outdated elements of the public health system and infrastructure hindrered delivery of essential public health services at the community level. Where they differed was in the type of tools they found most suitable for the job of rejuvenating those structures. The approaches taken, and the policy tools selected, reflect the unique health needs of each state, establish relationships among state and community health authorities and agencies, and provide guidance by elected and appointed policy makers. Each state continues to refine its approach as it gains experience with the new authorities.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baker, Edward L&#xD;Blumenstock, James S&#xD;Jensen, Jim&#xD;Morris, Ralph D&#xD;Moulton, Anthony D&#xD;United States&#xD;The Journal of law, medicine &amp; ethics : a journal of the American Society of Law, Medicine &amp; Ethics&#xD;J Law Med Ethics. 2002 Fall;30(3 Suppl):48-51.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>60</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">60</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baker, E.

The collaboration between two major government health agencies (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration) and three major health foundations (the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the CDC Foundation) to create the Management Academy for Public Health is unprecedented in public health over the past quarter century. We attribute this success to the unique combination of a strong foundation of relationships between the partners and a commitment to generative dialogue throughout the design and implementation of the program.

Public health systems in the United States are built on an infrastructure of workforce, information systems, and organizational capacity; in each of these areas, however, serious deficits have been well documented. Here we draw on two 2003 Institute of Medicine reports and present evidence for current threats and the weakness of our public health infrastructure. We describe major initiatives to systematically assess, invest in, rebuild, and evaluate workforce competency, information systems, and organizational capacity through public policy making, practical initiatives, and practice-oriented research. These initiatives are based on applied science and a shared federal-state approach to public accountability. We conclude that a newly strengthened public health infrastructure must be sustained in the future through a balancing of the values inherent in the federal system.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baker, Edward L&#xD;Potter, Margaret A&#xD;Jones, Deborah L&#xD;Mercer, Shawna L&#xD;Cioffi, Joan P&#xD;Green, Lawrence W&#xD;Halverson, Paul K&#xD;Lichtveld, Maureen Y&#xD;Fleming, David W&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Annual review of public health&#xD;Annu Rev Public Health. 2005;26:303-18.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1146/annurev.publhealth.26.021304.144647 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>67</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">67</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baker, E.

The article describes the development of a set of national performance standards for measuring how effectively public health systems deliver the 10 Essential Public Health Services. The standards were developed through a practice-driven approach that incorporated comprehensive field testing and iterative revisions. The standards represent a national consensus framework for measuring important aspects of public health practice.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 955LQ&#xD;Times Cited: 3&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 22&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     BEAULIEU J, 2002, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V117, P28&#xD;     BEAULIEU J, 2003, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V118, P508&#xD;     DYAL WW, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P6&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1996, J HLTH HUM SERV ADM, V18, P288&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P29&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1996, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V17, P460&#xD;     KEENER SR, 1997, QUAL MANAGE HLTH CAR, V5, P27&#xD;     MAYS GP, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V4, P63&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1993, J PUBLIC HLTH POLICY, V14, P34&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P1743&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1994, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V109, P659&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P24&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1995, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V1, P63&#xD;     RICHARDS TB, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P36&#xD;     RICHARDS TB, 1995, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V1, P70&#xD;     SCUTCHFIELD FD, 2000, REPORT FLORIDA SITE&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1994, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V109, P478&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1994, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V109, P653&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1995, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V1, P50&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1997, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V18, P261&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1998, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V4, P26</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000231227800009</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance&#xD;Workforce&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>72</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">72</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldwin, L.

Specialty services, largely funded through contracts with outside practitioners, may be limited by low IHS funding levels. PURPOSE: To examine specialty service access among rural Indian populations in two states. METHODS: A 31-item mail survey addressing perceived access to specialty physicians, barriers to access, and access to non-physician clinical services was sent to 106 primary care providers in rural Indian health clinics in Montana and New Mexico (overall response rate 60.4%) and 95 primary care providers in rural non-Indian clinics within 25 miles of the Indian clinics (overall response rate 57.9%). FINDINGS: Substantial proportions of rural Indian clinic providers in both states reported fair or poor non-emergent specialty service access for their patients. Montana&apos;s rural Indian clinic providers reported poorer patient access to specialty care than rural non-Indian clinic providers, while New Mexico&apos;s rural Indian and non-Indian providers reported comparable access. Indian clinic providers in both states most frequently cited financial barriers to specialty care. Indian clinic providers reported better access to most non-physician services than non-Indian clinic providers. CONCLUSIONS: Reported limitations in specialty care access for rural Indian clinic patients appear to be influenced by financial constraints. Health care systems factors may play a role in perceived differences in specialty access between rural Indian and non-Indian clinic patients.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldwin, Laura-Mae&#xD;Hollow, Walter B&#xD;Casey, Susan&#xD;Hart, L Gary&#xD;Larson, Eric H&#xD;Moore, Kelly&#xD;Lewis, Ervin&#xD;Andrilla, C Holly A&#xD;Grossman, David C&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;The Journal of rural health : official journal of the American Rural Health Association and the National Rural Health Care Association&#xD;J Rural Health. 2008 Summer;24(3):269-78.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JRH168 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1748-0361.2008.00168.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>73</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">73</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banks, M.

METHODS: The authors review competencies in public health and health sciences librarianship. They highlight previously identified public health informatics competencies and the Medical Library Association&apos;s essential areas of knowledge. Based on points of correspondence between the two domains, the authors identify specific opportunities for partnership. RESULTS: The points of correspondence between public health and health sciences librarianship are reflected in several past projects involving both communities. These previous collaborations and the services provided by health sciences librarians at many public health organizations suggest that some health sciences librarians may be considered full members of the public health workforce. Opportunities remain for productive collaboration between public health workers and health sciences librarians. CONCLUSIONS: Drawing on historical and contemporary experience, this paper presents an initial framework for forming collaborations between health sciences librarians and members of the public health workforce. This framework may stimulate thinking about how to form additional partnerships between members of these two communities.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">; Review</style></work-type><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>74</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">74</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bara, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McPhillips-Tangum, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wild, E.

An assessment was conducted to describe the extent to which public health agencies are currently integrating child health information systems (CHIS). Using online technology information was collected, to assess completed and planned activities related to integration of CHIS, maturity of these systems, and factors that influence decisions by public health agencies to pursue integration activities. Of the 39 public health agencies that participated, 18 (46%) reported already integrating some or all of their CHIS, and 13 (33%) reported to be planning to integrate during the next 3 years. Information systems most commonly integrated include Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI), immunization, vital records, and Newborn Dried Bloodspot Screening (NDBS). Given the high priority that has been placed on using technology to improve health status in the United States, the emphasis on expanding the capability for the electronic exchange of health information, and federal support for electronic health records by 2014, public health agencies should be encouraged and supported in their efforts to develop, implement, and maintain integrated CHIS to facilitate the electronic exchange of health information with the clinical healthcare sector.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bara, Debra&#xD;McPhillips-Tangum, Carol&#xD;Wild, Ellen L&#xD;Mann, Marie Y&#xD;U37MCO205/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Nov-Dec;15(6):451-8.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> Technology, data, and Methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181abbec8 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200911000-00002 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>75</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">75</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baron, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McPhaul, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phillips, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gershon, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipscomb, J.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cincinnati, OH, USA.

Many public-private partnerships were created during the late 1990s, but most were focused on specific diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Recently there has been enthusiasm for using public-private partnerships to improve the delivery of health and welfare services for a wider range of health problems, especially in developing countries. The success of public-private partnerships in this context appears to be mixed, and few data are available to evaluate their effectiveness. This analysis provides an overview of the history of health-related public-private partnerships during the past 20 years and describes a research protocol commissioned by the World Health Organization to evaluate the effectiveness of public-private partnerships in a research context.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Times Cited: 0&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 26&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *B M GAT FDN, B M GAT FDN AW 1 MIL&#xD;     *IN PUBL PRIV PART, PARTN DAT&#xD;     *WHO, PUBL PRIV PARTN HLTH&#xD;     *WHO, 2002, HLTH WELF SYST DEV 2&#xD;     AHN M, 2000, MANAGED CARE Q, V8, P65&#xD;     BIRN AE, 1999, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V20, P81&#xD;     BUSE K, 2000, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V78, P549&#xD;     BUSE K, 2000, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V78, P699&#xD;     BUSE K, 2001, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V79, P748&#xD;     CAINES K, 2003, IMPACT PUBLIC PRIVAT&#xD;     COLLINS K, 2004, PERSPECT BIOL MED, V47, P100&#xD;     CSILLAG C, 1995, LANCET, V345, P1168&#xD;     CSILLAG C, 2001, LANCET, V358, P47&#xD;     FRENK J, 1993, HEALTH POLICY PLANN, V8, P315&#xD;     HSIAO WC, 1994, HEALTH ECON, V3, P351&#xD;     MURASKIN W, 1996, SOC SCI MED, V42, P1721&#xD;     NEWELL JN, 2004, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V82, P92&#xD;     NISHTAR S, 2004, HLTH RES POLICY SYST, V2, P5&#xD;     RAMIAH I, 2005, HEALTH AFFAIR, V24, P545, DOI 10.1377/hlthaff.24.2.545&#xD;     REICH MR, 2000, NAT MED, V6, P617&#xD;     RIDLEY RG, 2001, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V79, P694&#xD;     RIDLEY RG, 2003, EMBO REP, V4, S43, DOI 10.1038/sj.embor.embor858&#xD;     SCHWARTZ JB, 2004, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V82, P661&#xD;     SEN A, 1999, DEV FREEDOM, P39&#xD;     SMITH R, 2000, BRIT MED J, V320, P952&#xD;     WIDDUS R, 2001, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V79, P713&#xD;Barr, Donald A.</style></notes><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000243310600006</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>78</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">78</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barron, G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glad, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vukotich, C.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The use of the National Public Health Performance Standards to evaluate change in capacity to carry out the 10 essential services</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of environmental health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of environmental health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29-31</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">70</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0022-0892</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17802813</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nationally, environmental public health programs have been struggling to find ways to measure their capacity to carry out the 10 essential public health services. The ability to make this kind of measurement is crucial to showing the benefits of local, state, and federal funding of environmental public health programs, It is also crucial to the continuation of this funding. One local health department in Pennsylvania, the Allegheny County Health Department, implemented use of the National Public Health Performance Standards as a mechanism for measuring current performance in carrying out the 10 essential services as well as to set a benchmark for improving capacity in areas of environmental health practice. By using these standards as a tool for assessing current performance, the health department was able to focus on strengthening areas in which little or no capacity was reported. This process made it possible to set priorities and allocate resources to improve the delivery of environmental health services. The tool was re-used two years later to measure the impact this capacity-building activity had on improving the ability of the environmental health program to carry out the 10 essential services.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">; Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.</style></work-type><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This article chronicled the efforts of the Allegheny, PA, health department to use the NPHPSP to take an initial measurement of capacity to carry out the 10 EPHS, and use the results to point areas odf environmental health services that were in need of performance improvement.

We sought to compare the QALY gains, and incremental cost per QALY estimates, predicted on the basis of mapping to those based on actual EQ-5D scores. METHODS: In order to compare 4 different interventions 389 individuals were asked to complete both the EQ-5D and the Western Ontartio and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months post-intervention. Using baseline data various mapping models were developed, where WOMAC scores were used to predict the EQ-5D scores. The performance of these models was tested by predicting the EQ-5D post-intervention scores. The preferred model (that with the lowest mean absolute error (MAE)) was used to predict the EQ-5D scores, at all time points, for individuals who had complete WOMAC and EQ-5D data. The mean QALY gain associated with each intervention was calculated, using both actual and predicted EQ-5D scores. These QALY gains, along with previously estimated changes in cost, were also used to estimate the actual and predicted incremental cost per QALY associated with each of the four interventions. RESULTS: The EQ-5D and the WOMAC were completed at baseline by 348 individuals, and at all time points by 259 individuals. The MAE in the preferred model was 0.129, and the mean QALY gains for each of the four interventions was predicted to be 0.006, 0.058, 0.058, and 0.136 respectively, compared to the actual mean QALY gains of 0.087, 0.081, 0.120, and 0.149. The most effective intervention was estimated to be associated with an incremental cost per QALY of pound6,068, according to our preferred model, compared to pound13,154 when actual data was used. CONCLUSION: We found that actual QALY gains, and incremental cost per QALY estimates, differed from those predicted on the basis of mapping. This suggests that though mapping may be of value in predicting the cost-effectiveness of interventions which have not been evaluated using a utility measure, future studies should be encouraged to include a method of actual utility measurement.

The HMO implemented several interventions successively from 1984-87: a postcard reminder to members at high risk for complications of influenza, a computer-generated reminder to the physician at the time of any primary care visit by high-risk patients, performance feedback to chiefs of service, and, finally, retrospective feedback to each physician comparing his/her performance with that of the other physicians. We examined immunization rates for a group of members older than age 65, a high-risk group under age 65, and a group of diabetic members who had not been subject to the reminders (vs a group who had been covered by the program). Vaccination rates were increased in those diabetic members who received reminders. Nevertheless, among members younger and older than age 65 whose experience was observed over three flu seasons, a significant increase in vaccination rates was not achieved until physician feedback was added to the program. We conclude that each element of the reminder and feedback program has contributed to the overall increase in vaccination rates at the HMO and that effective ongoing influenza immunization programs can be implemented in practice settings with appropriate systems support.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barton, M B&#xD;Schoenbaum, S C&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United states&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 1990 May;80(5):534-6.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>83</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">83</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baseman, J.

An advisory committee consisting of epidemiology faculty and experienced public health practitioners developed the epidemiology competencies. NWCPHP used the competencies to guide the development of in-person trainings, a series of online epidemiology modules, and a Web-based repository of epidemiology teaching materials. The epidemiology competencies provided a framework for collaborative work between NWCPHP and local and regional public health partners to develop trainings that best met the needs of a particular public health organization. Evaluation surveys indicated a high level of satisfaction with the online epidemiology modules developed from the epidemiology competencies. However, measuring the effectiveness of competency-based epidemiology training for expanding epidemiology knowledge and skills of the public health workforce remains a challenge.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baseman, Janet G&#xD;Marsden-Haug, Nicola&#xD;Holt, Victoria L&#xD;Stergachis, Andy&#xD;Goldoft, Marcia&#xD;Gale, James L&#xD;U90/CCU024247/CC/United States CDC&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2008;123 Suppl 1:44-52.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Workforce</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>84</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">84</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bassett, E.

The team seeks to understand local land use and health relationships, increase community engagement, and facilitate positive change in policies and the built environment. The team&apos;s action plan is (1) research local land use and health relationships; (2) undertake public education and community mobilization; (3) identify interventions, seek funding, and pilot tools to integrate health and planning; and (4) monitor outcomes. In 2005, the team produced a report presenting a picture of local conditions related to health and the built environment. Findings were unveiled at a stakeholder conference, and local best practices and future actions were discussed. A geographic information system-based health impacts tool for use by planners in site plan review was developed. Funding was obtained to facilitate neighborhood organizations to complete self-assessments and develop interventions related to community environments, physical activity, and healthy eating. The team achieved initial goals of creating partnerships and spurring awareness. Future activities include wider field testing of the health impacts tool, participation in a health-oriented master planning process, and monitoring change in health risk behaviors related to changes in the built environment.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bassett, Ellen M&#xD;Glandon, Robert Paul&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2008 May-Jun;14(3):244-54.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000316483.65135.a1 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200805000-00008 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>85</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">85</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basta, N.

We aimed to determine how informed health department employees are about pandemic response and how willing they are to report to work during a pandemic. METHODS: We conducted an anonymous, electronic survey of 4,746 Florida county health department employees to assess willingness to respond. RESULTS: Among the 2,414 respondents, willingness to report to work varied by the stage of the influenza pandemic and type of job duties, from 92.3 percent willingness given the lowest-risk scenario to 56.2 percent under the highest-risk scenario. Nurses and employees who had read one of the pandemic influenza plans were significantly more likely to be willing to respond. CONCLUSIONS: Nearly half of public health department employees are unwilling to report to work during the peak of an influenza pandemic when the public health response will be a vital component of pandemic containment and mitigation. In light of the current worldwide spread of novel influenza A (H1N1), there is an urgent need to better inform public health workers about their roles in pandemic response and to ensure that personal safety is a top priority.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basta, Nicole E&#xD;Edwards, Sharlene E&#xD;Schulte, Joann&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Sep-Oct;15(5):375-83.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, technology, and methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181a391e2 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200909000-00002 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>86</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">86</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bastida, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brown, H.

METHODS: Data were from 2 waves of a population-based study of 1048 Latino residents of selected Texas border counties. Logistic regression models examined predictors of health insurance coverage. Results from these models were used to examine regional patterns of health care use. RESULTS: Of the respondents younger than 65 years, 60% reported no health insurance coverage. The uninsured were 7 and 3 times more likely in waves 3 and 4, respectively, to use medical care in Mexico than were the insured. Preference for medical care in Mexico was an important predictor. CONCLUSIONS: For those who were chronically ill, old, poor, or burdened by the lengthy processing of their documents by immigration authorities, the United States provided the only source of health care. For some, Mexico may lessen the burden at the individual level, but it does not lessen the aggregate burden of providing highly priced care to the region&apos;s neediest. Health disparities will continue unless policies are enacted to expand health care accessibility in the region.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bastida, Elena&#xD;Brown, H Shelton 3rd&#xD;Pagan, Jose A&#xD;2R24MD001779-04/MD/NCMHD NIH HHS/United States&#xD;NIGMS78BT498W/BT/FDA HHS/United States&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2008 Nov;98(11):1987-95.

Competing needs for resources and a plurality of values can challenge public health policymakers and practitioners to make fair and effective decisions for their communities. In this paper, the authors offer an analytic framework designed to assist policymakers and practitioners in managing the ethical tensions they face in daily practice. Their framework is built upon the following set of six considerations: determining population-level utility of the proposed action; demonstrating evidence of need and effectiveness of actions; establishing fairness of goals and proposed implementation strategies; ensuring accountability; and, assessing expected efficiencies and costs associated with the proposed action. Together, these considerations create a structured guide to assist decision-makers in identifying potential ethical challenges and in assessing the moral considerations that underlie public health practice - and possibly even, if the conditions are met, reduce the creation of ethical tension. Although the authors&apos;empirical experiences provide the basis for the framework advanced here, their approach remains to be tested and evaluated by public health practitioners.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baum, Nancy M&#xD;Gollust, Sarah E&#xD;Goold, Susan D&#xD;Jacobson, Peter D&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;The Journal of law, medicine &amp; ethics : a journal of the American Society of Law, Medicine &amp; Ethics&#xD;J Law Med Ethics. 2007 Winter;35(4):657-67, 513.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JLME188 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1748-720X.2007.00188.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>89</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">89</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baumbach, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mueller, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Smelser, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albanese, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sewell, C.

METHODS: For the past 3 influenza seasons, the New Mexico Department of Health examined influenza-like illness visits and positive rapid influenza test results. RESULTS: The proportion of positive rapid influenza test results started to rise earlier than did the percentage of clinical visits because of influenza-like illness in each of the past 3 influenza seasons: 5 weeks earlier during the 2004-2005 season; 3 weeks earlier in 2005-2006; and 2 weeks earlier in 2006-2007. In addition, rapid influenza tests showed a spike in influenza B activity late in the 2005-2006 season that influenza-like illness syndrome surveillance did not. CONCLUSIONS: Laboratory-based rapid influenza test surveillance required relatively few resources to implement and offered a sensitive mechanism to detect the onset of influenza activity while allowing for the distinction of influenza types.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baumbach, Joan&#xD;Mueller, Mark&#xD;Smelser, Chad&#xD;Albanese, Bernadette&#xD;Sewell, C Mack&#xD;U10/CCU622221/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Oct;99 Suppl 2:S372-7.

These partnerships link broad-based community coalitions with health and human service Providers in efforts to improve community health and local service delivery. Although they willingly collaborated identifying community health needs, coordinating services, and reporting to the community, partnership participants showed less alacrity in joining forces to reduce redundancy and increase efficiency. Such patterns suggest that organizations might best profit from working together on activities that maintain existing power relations and that have the potential to add prestige and attract new clients. Collaboration in these areas may be essential to building a foundation of trust that leads to future cooperation in more sensitive areas.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: YL798&#xD;Times Cited: 35&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 39&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;

The mandate for State intervention for social goals has also been under a sustained ideological challenge. These circumstances, together with other developments within the New Zealand health service, prepared the way for the development of the first set of health goals and targets. Six criteria were used to identify health problems for which goals and targets could be set. Ten areas were included, and specific, timed and quantified targets were set in each area for the year 2000 with shorter term targets for 1995. The Minister of Health gave priority to three areas: tobacco control, secondary prevention of cervical cancer, and reduction of road accident injury and death. An important aspect of the program is that the goals and targets are to be the focus of the annual contract between the Minister of Health (the primary funder of health care) and the Area Health Boards (the primary providers of health care). A matrix of policy options is presented for resource allocation and public health. The case study described represents one solution to the set of policy choices presented by fiscal and ideological challenge; the &quot;new managerialism&quot; has been allied with the &quot;new public health.&quot; The authors argue that a combination of ideological renewal and fiscal probity has preserved a vigorous role for the State in health and health care. This matrix of policy options also underlines the necessity to consider health outcomes, as well as organizational goals, in the evaluation of the performance of health systems.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>92</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">92</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bearinger, L.

Judgments about the face validity of the standards were obtained in a survey of local public health systems that had used the instrument in a test state. The validity of each standard was addressed along the following dimensions: the importance of the standard as a measure of the Essential Service; its completeness as a measure; and its reasonableness for achievement. All standards for each Essential Service were then judged in terms of their completeness in measuring performance of that service. Respondents judged the standards to be highly valid measures of local public health system performance. Some respondents had reservations about whether standards related to &quot;enforcing laws and regulations&quot; were achievable. Holding local public health systems accountable for the activities of other agencies was a factor mentioned in conjunction with those standards. The NPHPSP standards have face and content validity for measuring local public health system performance. Further testing of their validity and reliability is continuing.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Times Cited: 10&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 19&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *I MED, 1988, FUT PUBL HLTH&#xD;     *US CDC, NAT PUBL HLTH PERF S&#xD;     *US CDCP, NAT PUBL HLTH PERF S&#xD;     BAKER EL, 1994, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V272, P1276&#xD;     HANDLER A, 2001, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P1235&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1996, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V17, P460&#xD;     JAMES A, ESSENTIAL SERVICES P&#xD;     MAYS GP, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V4, P63&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1993, J PUBLIC HLTH POLICY, V14, P34&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P1743&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1994, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V109, P659&#xD;     ROPER WL, 1992, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V107, P609&#xD;     SCUTCHFIELD FD, 1997, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V18, P13&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1994, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V109, P478&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1994, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V109, P653&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1997, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V18, P261&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1998, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V4, P26&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V4, R6&#xD;     ZELLER RA, 1980, MEASUREMENT SOCIAL S</style></notes><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000178751200005</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance&#xD;Workforce&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>94</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">94</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beaulieu, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scutchfield, F.

This article is a report of the evaluation of the content and criterion validity of the local public health performance assessment instrument, and the content validity of the state public health performance assessment instrument. METHODS: Health department performance is measured using a set of indicators developed for the 10 Essential Services of Public Health and a model standard for each indicator. Content validity of each model standard in the local instrument was addressed by community partners along the following dimensions: the importance of each standard as a measure of the associated Essential Service, its completeness as a measure, and its reasonableness for achievement. All standards for each Essential Service were then judged in terms of their completeness in measuring performance in that service. Content validity of the state instrument was evaluated in a group interview of health department staff members from three states. Criterion validity of the local instrument was assessed for a sample of eight public health departments in Florida and six in New York by examining documentary evidence for selected responses. Criterion validity was also evaluated for a sample of Florida local public health departments and one Hawaii public health department by comparing state health department staffs&apos; judgments of performance against the instrument score. RESULTS: Criterion validity was upheld for a summary performance score on the local instrument, but was not upheld for performance judgments on individual Essential Services. The NPHPSP standards based on the Essential Services have validity for measuring local public health system performance, according to community partners. The model standards are valid measures of state performance, according to state public health departments in three states. CONCLUSIONS: Within the scope of the validity evaluations completed, the NPHPSP state and local performance assessment instruments were found to be valid measures of public health performance.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">; Validation Studies</style></work-type><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance&#xD;Workforce&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>95</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">95</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beaulieu, J.

It includes a compilation and analysis of 173 local governance instruments completed by local boards of health from 2003 to 2006. Only 24 of the 173 scored instruments are used because of exclusion of data from New Jersey. The study compares results from the instruments based upon demographic data reported by the local boards of health, and data on performance compiled by the National Public Health Performance Standards Program Local Public Health System Instrument. Local boards of health perform well on Essential Public Health Services #6 (78.85%), #2 (71.41%), and #7 (70.75%). Performance is far from optimal on Essential Public Health Services #10 (45.42%) and #9 (41.30%). Comparing groups based on demographic data yielded deviations too large and power too low to form any significant conclusions about local boards of health performance. It is important to note that individuals with varying levels of knowledge may have completed the governance instruments, and this may affect the results of any comparison between individual boards of health. Local boards of health need encouragement from national and state associations of local boards of health to complete the local governance instrument. This would allow local boards of health to use these data to compare performance with other boards around the nation. Identification of weak performing areas may lead to changes to improve service to the community. This instrument could also prove a useful tool in health department accreditation.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Strucuture, Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data, Methods</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>97</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">97</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Befort, C.

Six focus groups (n = 49) were conducted with LHD administrators from 50 percent of the state&apos;s counties. Verbatim transcripts were coded by three independent investigators, and the research team reached consensus on the major themes. Five saturated themes emerged: (1) perceptions about research varied but were initially negative, (2) barriers to engaging in research included limited capacity and poor perceived relevance, (3) perceived benefits of research were largely related to professional growth and practice improvement, (4) uncertainty existed about how research fits into their professional role, and (5) university researchers were perceived as out of touch with community needs. Participants&apos; negative perceptions of research were influenced by a lack of resources, time, and skills, and a lack of connection between research activities and primary clinical responsibilities. However, despite many negative perceptions, research was rated as highly important. Findings have implications for strategies to engage LHDs in academic collaborations such as targeting research projects to fill an existing need identified by LHD staff.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Befort, Christie A&#xD;Orr, Shirley&#xD;Davis, Ann&#xD;Ely, Andrea&#xD;Steiger, Katherine&#xD;K12 HD052027/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 May-Jun;15(3):E9-15.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, structure and infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000349745.49856.2e [doi]&#xD;00124784-200905000-00017 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>98</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">98</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beitsch, L.

We assessed the structure and functions of state health departments throughout the United States and compared our findings with those from a previous national assessment conducted in 1990. Methods. In 2001, we sent a survey to the state health officers of all 50 states. The survey asked about the structure and functions of the state health agency. Results. The survey was completed by state health officers from 47 states (a 94% response rate). More than half of the states responding had a freestanding state public health agency and a state board or council of health. Forty-four percent had a regional or district structure. Although some traditional public health functions have been curtailed, important new public health functions have emerged since 1990. Conclusions. Our current findings confirm core changes in the structure and functions of state public health systems over the past decade and emphasize the need for more research into these systems to maximize their organizational performance.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 998JG&#xD;Times Cited: 3&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 26&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *CDC PUBL HLTH PRA, 1991, PROF STAT TERR PUBL&#xD;     *CDCP, 2001, PUBL HLTH INFR STAT&#xD;     *I MED, 1988, FUT PUBL HLTH&#xD;     *I MED, 2003, FUT PUBL HLTH 21 CEN&#xD;     *PUBL HLTH FDN, 2002, TURN POINT PERF MAN&#xD;     *US BUR CENS, US CENS BUR REG&#xD;     BEAULIEU J, 2002, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V117, P28&#xD;     BEITSCH LM, 2000, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V6, P31&#xD;     DEFRIESE GH, 1981, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V71, P1109&#xD;     DEROSE SF, 2003, AM J PREV MED, V25, P347, DOI&#xD;     10.1016/S0749-3797(03)00208-3&#xD;     DUNCAN WJ, 1994, ADMIN SOC, V26, P11&#xD;     FORD EW, 2003, J HLTH HUM SERV ADM, V25, P407&#xD;     FORD EW, 2003, MED CARE RES REV, V60, P31, DOI 10.1177/107755870250231&#xD;     FORD EW, 2005, PUBLIC HEALTH, V119, P11, DOI 10.1016/j.puhe.2004.03.002&#xD;     GINTER PM, 1992, PUBLIC HEALTH, V106, P253&#xD;     HANDLER A, 2001, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P1235&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P29&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1996, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V17, P460&#xD;     LOVELACE K, 2000, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V115, P350&#xD;     MAYS GP, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V4, P63&#xD;     MAYS GR, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P1019&#xD;     PICKETT GE, 1981, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V71, P84&#xD;     PRATT M, 1996, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V111, P87&#xD;     RICHARDS TB, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P36&#xD;     WEILER P, 1982, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V72, P1230&#xD;     ZAHNER SJ, 2003, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V9, P25</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000234314000029</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>99</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">99</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beitsch, L.

We compared these findings with those from a previous national assessment done a decade earlier. Methods: We surveyed the state health officers of all 50 states in the summer of 2001 in regard to the structures and functions of their state&apos;s local and district health agencies. Results: Forty-seven states completed the survey for a 94 percent response rate. Forty-three percent have a regional or district structure in place. According to more than 80 percent of the respondents, local health departments serve all areas of their state. Local boards of health provide guidance and oversight in two thirds of the states. Most local health departments continue to perform a variety of traditional public health functions, as well as a variety of newly emerging responsibilities. Many local functions varied by geographic regions, population size, and organizational type. Conclusions: The study identified structural and functional changes in the local and district health agencies of state public health systems over the last decade. The stage is set for future work on the relationship between public health structure and function, and performance in the 21 st century.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 036UF&#xD;Times Cited: 2&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 34&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *CDCP, 2001, PUBL HLTH INFR STAT&#xD;     *CDCP, 2004, PUBL HLTH PRACT PROG&#xD;     *I MED, 1988, FUT PUBL HLTH&#xD;     *I MED, 2001, CROSS QUAL CHASM NEW&#xD;     *I MED, 2003, FUT PUBL HLTH 21 CEN&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNT HLT, 1990, NAT PROF LOC HLTH DE&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNTR CI, 1998, 1997 PROF US LOC HLT&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNTR CI, 2001, LOC PUBL HLTH AG INF&#xD;     *US CENS BUR, 2004, US CENS BUR REG&#xD;     BEAULIEU J, 2002, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V117, P28&#xD;     BEITSCH L, 2005, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V96, P167&#xD;     BEITSCH LM, 2000, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V6, P31&#xD;     DEROSE SF, 2002, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V23, P1&#xD;     DEROSE SF, 2003, AM J PREV MED, V25, P347, DOI&#xD;     10.1016/S0749-3797(03)00208-3&#xD;     DONABEDIAN A, 1980, EXPLORATIONS QUALITY, V1&#xD;     DUNCAN WJ, 1994, ADMIN SOC, V26, P11&#xD;     FORD EW, 2003, J HLTH HUM SERV ADM, V25, P407&#xD;     FORD EW, 2003, MED CARE RES REV, V60, P31, DOI 10.1177/107755870250231&#xD;     FORD EW, 2005, PUBLIC HEALTH, V119, P11, DOI 10.1016/j.puhe.2004.03.002&#xD;     GINTER PM, 1992, PUBLIC HEALTH, V106, P253&#xD;     HANDLER A, 2001, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P1235&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P29&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1996, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V17, P460&#xD;     KOHN L, 2000, ERR HUMAN BUILDING S&#xD;     LOVELACE K, 2000, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V115, P350&#xD;     MAYS GP, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V4, P63&#xD;     MAYS GR, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P1019&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1977, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V67, P931&#xD;     PICKETT GE, 1981, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V71, P84&#xD;     PRATT M, 1996, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V111, P87&#xD;     RICHARDS TB, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P36&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1997, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V18, P261&#xD;     WEILER P, 1982, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V72, P1230&#xD;     ZAHNER SJ, 2003, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V9, P25</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000237100500003</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>102</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">102</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beitsch, L.

Recent efforts funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have made a significant impact on the potential for national diffusion-of accreditation models. The Exploring Accreditation Project was a collaboration of the American Public Health Association, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, the National Association of County and City Health Officials, and the National Association of Local Boards of Health with a national steering committee that studied the feasibility and desirability of a national voluntary accreditation program for state and local public health agencies. Concurrently, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded the &quot;Multi-State Learning Collaborative on Performance and Capacity Assessment or Accreditation of Public Health Departments&quot; (MLC). Among the other purposes of the MLC was the intent for states already engaged in accreditation or assessment activities to inform the national accreditation debate. Five states were selected to be MLC grantees from 18 states completing a formal application process. This article reviews data extracted from the applications of 16 of the 18 applicant states and reviews common themes emerging across programs. Other states contemplating similar programs, as well as those charged with implementing the voluntary model at the national level, may find guidance from these examples.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 180IR&#xD;Times Cited: 1&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 14&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *CDCP, NAT PUBL HLTH PERF S&#xD;     *I MED, 2003, FUT PUBL HLTH 21 CEN&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNT CIT, 2001, MOB ACT THROUGH PLAN&#xD;     *PUBL HLTH FUNCT S, 1999, PUBL HLTH AM&#xD;     *TURN POINT PROGR, 2002, SURV PERF MAN PRACT&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 2000, HLTH PEOPL 2010 UND&#xD;     BEITSCH LM, 2005, AM J PREV MED, V29, P149, DOI&#xD;     10.1016/j.amepre.2005.04.005&#xD;     BEITSCH LM, 2006, HEALTH AFFAIR, V25, P911, DOI 10.1377/hlthaff.25.4.911&#xD;     BEITSCH LM, 2006, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V12, P217&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V112, P22&#xD;     MAYS GP, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V4, P63&#xD;     MAYS GP, 2004, CAN ACCREDITATION WO&#xD;     ROPER W, 2000, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V6, P66&#xD;     THIELEN L, 2004, EXPLORING PUBLIC HLT&#xD;Beitsch, Leslie M.

DESIGN: A cross-sectional exploratory survey was used to examine the perceived value of credentialing for PHNs and the perceived barriers to obtaining or maintaining the C/PHN credential as the primary variables of interest. SAMPLE: Data were collected from 655 PHN members of national public health nursing organizations who participated in an online survey. MEASUREMENT: Responses related to the perceived value of credentialing were analyzed using factor analysis and descriptive statistics. Data regarding perceived barriers to the C/PHN credential were analyzed through descriptive statistics and through the Borda Count Method for analysis of ranked data (Tannenbaum, 1995). RESULTS: Similar to nurses in other specialties, study participants perceived that credentialing has a high personal value for PHNs, but that certification provides less value in terms of extrinsic recognition. Respondents identified issues related to the lack of external recognition as particular barriers to the C/PHN credential. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide guidance to public health nursing leaders and inform discussions regarding the development of credentialing systems within the field of public health.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bekemeier, Betty&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.)&#xD;Public Health Nurs. 2007 Sep-Oct;24(5):439-48.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Workforce</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PHN654 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1525-1446.2007.00654.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>105</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">105</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bekemeier, B.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">School of Public Health &amp; Community Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-7263, USA. bettybek@u.washington.edu</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nurses&apos; utilization and perception of the community/public health nursing credential</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">944-9</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009/03/21</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Attitude of Health Personnel</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Certification/standards/ utilization</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Community Health Nursing/ standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cross-Sectional Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Nursing/ standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Practice/ standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Social Perception</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Washington</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1541-0048 (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19299666</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OBJECTIVES: I explored the underutilization of the community/public health nursing (C/PHN) credential by examining the individual characteristics of public health nurses, the value these nurses perceive for certification, the barriers they perceive to obtaining or maintaining a C/PHN credential, and their credential status. METHODS: I surveyed a national sample of 655 public health nurses regarding this more than 20-year-old credential. I analyzed variables related to perceived value, barriers, and characteristics of public health nurses. RESULTS: The perceived value of credentialing did not differ among public health nurses relative to whether they had ever had a C/PHN credential. The C/PHN credential, however, was obtained significantly more often by public health nurses in academic settings than by those working in practice settings. CONCLUSIONS: The C/PHN credential appears to be disproportionately underutilized and unknown to public health nurses in the practice community. Findings suggest, however, that utilization could be improved by increasing the credential&apos;s visibility outside of academic environments and by establishing system-level changes that provide external recognition, such as salary increases and career advancement, for specialty credentials.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bekemeier, Betty&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 May;99(5):944-9.

However, the magnitude of funds leveraged and the factors that facilitate success in leveraging are rarely researched. An example of one of these grant-funded initiatives is the National Turning Point Initiative. Twenty-one states received funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of this initiative to establish and implement strategic goals for achieving significant statewide public health system improvement through diverse, cross-sector partnerships. Leaders from 17 of these 21 states participated in a two-phased study regarding the leveraging of additional funds for their public health infrastructure improvement activities. This article reports on the second phase of the study. In this phase, key informant interviews were conducted to examine how leveraging of resources occurred as part of this large national initiative. Findings indicate that the combination of a comprehensive planning process and a broad-based partnership was crucial in securing resources to expand their efforts. The ability to strategically respond to unexpected events and opportunities also helped states use their plans and partnerships to &quot;make the case&quot; for additional resources to improve their public health infrastructure.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bekemeier, Betty&#xD;Riley, Catharine M&#xD;Padgett, Stephen M&#xD;Berkowitz, Bobbie&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Nov-Dec;13(6):649-54.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000296143.87046.85 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200711000-00018 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>914</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">914</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bell, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Readying health services for climate change: a policy framework for regional development.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

However, many public health leaders feel ill equipped to face the challenges of climate change and have been unable to make climate change a priority in service development. I explore how to achieve a regionally responsive whole-of-systems approach to climate change in the key operational areas of a health service: service governance and culture, service delivery, workforce development, asset management, and financing. The relative neglect of implementation science means that policymakers need to be proactive about sourcing and developing models and processes to make health services ready for climate change.

The epidemic has affected a wide range of birds and mammals, including humans. The ineffective management of outbreaks, mainly due to a lack of knowledge among those involved in detection, prevention, and response, points to the need for training on H5N1 HPAI. The main challenges are the multidisciplinary approach required, the lack of experts, the need to train at all levels, and the diversity of outbreak scenarios. Avian Flu School addresses these challenges through a three-level train-the-trainer program intended to minimize the health and economic impacts of H5N1 HPAI by improving a community&apos;s ability to prevent and respond, while protecting themselves and others. The course teaches need-to-know facts using highly flexible, interactive, and relevant materials.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beltran-Alcrudo, Daniel&#xD;Bunn, David A&#xD;Sandrock, Christian E&#xD;Cardona, Carol J&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2008 May-Jun;123(3):323-32.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>109</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">109</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bennett, B.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centre for Health Governance, Law and Ethics, Faculty of Law, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia. b.bennett@usyd.edu.au</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Legal rights during pandemics: federalism, rights and public health laws--a view from Australia</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">232-6</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009/03/03</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Australia/epidemiology</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease Outbreaks/ legislation &amp; jurisprudence/ prevention &amp; control</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Policy/ legislation &amp; jurisprudence</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human Rights/ legislation &amp; jurisprudence</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influenza, Human/ epidemiology/prevention &amp; control</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quarantine/legislation &amp; jurisprudence</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1476-5616 (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19249066</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandemic influenza will cause significant social and economic disruption.

The efficacy of Internet interventions has been demonstrated across a wide range of conditions. Much more work remains, however, to enhance the potential for broad population dissemination of Internet interventions. In this article, we examine the effectiveness of Internet interventions, with particular attention to their dissemination potential. We discuss several considerations (characterizing reach rates, minimizing attrition, promoting Web site utilization, use of tailored messaging and social networking) that may improve the implementation of Internet interventions and their associated outcomes. We review factors that may influence the adoption of Internet interventions in a range of potential dissemination settings. Finally, we present several recommendations for future research that highlight the potential importance of better understanding intervention reach, developing consensus regarding Web site usage metrics, and more broadly integrating Web 2.0 functionality.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bennett, Gary G&#xD;Glasgow, Russell E&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Annual review of public health&#xD;Annu Rev Public Health. 2009 Apr 29;30:273-92.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> dat, technology, and methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1146/annurev.publhealth.031308.100235 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>111</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">111</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berkman, L.

Over this period, many rigorous longitudinal studies have identified important social, behavioral, and environmental conditions that might reduce health disparities if we could design effective interventions and make specific policy changes to modify them. Often, however, neither our policy changes nor our interventions are as effective as we hoped they would be on the basis of findings from observational studies. Reviewed here are issues related to causal inference and potential explanations for the discrepancy between observational and experimental studies. We conclude that more attention needs to be devoted to (a) identifying the correct etiologic period within a life-course perspective and (b) understanding the dynamic interplay between interventions and the social, economic, and environmental contexts in which interventions are delivered.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berkman, Lisa F&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Annual review of public health&#xD;Annu Rev Public Health. 2009 Apr 29;30:27-41.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">data, technology, and methods </style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>112</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">112</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berkowitz, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ivory, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morris, T.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Univ Washington, Sch Nursing, Dept Psychosocial &amp; Community Hlth, Seattle, WA 98195 USA.

These issues, which are systemic in nature and primarily involve the infrastructure of public health, include the capacity of rural public health to manage population health, utilize information technology, monitor performance of the essential public health functions, develop leadership and the public health workforce, and promote the interaction and integration of public health and health care. This article provides an overview of policy and research implications, and it suggests that each of these issues contributes to the capacity of public health to effectively improve the outcomes of health in rural communities.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 588GM&#xD;Times Cited: 3&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 30&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *FRONT ED CTR, 1999, PUBL HLTH INFR COMP&#xD;     *NAT ADV COMM RUR, 1999, STAB RUR PUBL HLTH I&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNT CIT, 1995, 1992 93 NAT PROF LOC&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNT CIT, 1998, PREL RES 1997 PROF U&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNT CIT, 2001, LOC PUBL HLTH AG INF&#xD;     *US DEP HHS OFF PU, 2000, HLTH PEOPL 2010 OBJ&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 1997, PUBL HLTH WORKF AG 2&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 1998, IN OV EL RAC ETHN DI&#xD;     ATCHISON C, 2000, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V6, P93&#xD;     DURCH J, 1997, IMPROVING HLTH COMMU&#xD;     FELTLISK S, 1999, HEALTH AFFAIR, V18, P238&#xD;     FRASER M, 1999, INFORMATION TECHNOLO&#xD;     FREUND C, 2000, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V6, P42&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113&#xD;     HANDLER A, 2002, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P1235&#xD;     HIRANO D, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V4, P42&#xD;     KENNEDY V, 1999, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V5, P98&#xD;     KENNEDY V, 2001, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V7, P17&#xD;     KUMEKAWA J, 2001, TELEMEDICINE REPORT&#xD;     LICHIELLO P, 1998, ENABLING PERFORMANCE&#xD;     MARTINEZ R, 1998, PUBLIC HLTH DEP ADAP&#xD;     PERRIN E, 1999, HLTH PERFORMANCE MEA&#xD;     RICHARDS T, 1995, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V2, P70&#xD;     RICHARDSON M, 2001, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V7, P37&#xD;     ROPER W, 2000, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V6, P66&#xD;     SLIFKIN R, 2001, J RURAL HEALTH, V17, P37&#xD;     SLIFKIN RT, 1998, HEALTH AFFAIR, V17, P217&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1994, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V109, P478&#xD;     WELTON WE, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P261&#xD;     YAWN B, 1999, TELEMEDICINE NEW FRA&#xD;Suppl.

There is a common belief that increases from one source will be offset by decreases in others, as when a local agency might decide it must increase taxes in response to lowered federal or state funding. This study tests this belief through a cross-sectional study using data from Missouri local public health agencies, and finds, instead, that money begets money. Local agencies that receive more from federal and state sources also raise more at the local level. Given the particular effectiveness of local funding in improving agency performance, these findings that nonlocal revenues are amplified at the local level, help make the case for higher public health funding from federal and state levels.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernet, Patrick Michael&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Mar-Apr;13(2):188-93.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">00124784-200703000-00016 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>115</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">115</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernheim, R.

Education and competencies in ethics may be helpful in practice, by providing, at a minimum, frameworks and ethical principles to help structure analysis, discussion, and decision making in health departments and with community stakeholders. Such a &quot;practical ethics&quot; approach in public health practice begins with a focus on public health values and an agency mission statement and integrates ethics throughout the organization by, for example, setting performance measures based on them. Using a case in emergency preparedness, this article describes ways in which ethical frameworks and the Code of Ethics can be used as tools for education and to integrate ethics into agency activities and programs.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>116</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">116</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernstein, A.

Based on a meeting held by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 1996, the authors discuss the complications inherent in the way markets and products are defined by key stakeholders, including economists, policymakers, federal antitrust officials, purchasers, and the competitors themselves. CONCLUSION: The consensus among those who study this issue is that the way competitors, markets, and geographic areas are currently defined, and the ways of measuring competition, are inadequate, due mainly to the fact that both the measures and the definitions have been constructed from very limited data. Confounding this is the fact that analyses of competition are undertaken for such a wide variety of uses and that creating one database to solve the problems mentioned can be extremely daunting. RECOMMENDATIONS: Future research should examine ways to develop better definitions of the new healthcare structures that are competing with each other and ways to create measures of competition that include these new structures. To remedy gaps in the ability to measure competition, the field might also benefit from a public use data file, similar to the Area Resource File (ARF), that would contain HMO data according to geographic area, as well as provider data, employer data, payer data, and sociodemographic data.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernstein, A B&#xD;Gauthier, A K&#xD;Review&#xD;United states&#xD;Health services research&#xD;Health Serv Res. 1998 Dec;33(5 Pt 2):1421-38.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>842</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">842</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beyer KM, Comstock S, Seagren R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease maps as context for community mapping: a methodological approach for linking confidential health information with local geographical knowledge for community health research</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Community Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Community Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">635-44</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">35</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">disease maps</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health is increasingly understood as a product of multiple levels of influence, from individual biological and behavioral influences to community and societal level contextual influences. In understanding these contextual influences, community health researchers have increasingly employed both geographic methodologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and community participatory approaches. However, despite growing interest in the role for community participation and local knowledge in community health investigations, and the use of geographical methods and datasets in characterizing community environments, there exist few examples of research projects that incorporate both geographical and participatory approaches in addressing health questions. This is likely due in part to concerns and restrictions regarding community access to confidential health data. In order to overcome this barrier, we present a method for linking confidential, geocoded health information with community-generated experiential geographical information in a GIS environment. We use sophisticated disease mapping methodologies to create continuously defined maps of colorectal cancer in Iowa, then incorporate these layers in an open source GIS application as the context for a participatory community mapping exercise with participants from a rural Iowa town. Our method allows participants to interact directly with health information at a fine geographical scale, facilitating hypothesis generation regarding contextual influences on health, while simultaneously protecting data confidentiality. Participants are able to use their local, geographical knowledge to generate hypotheses about factors influencing colorectal cancer risk in the community and opportunities for risk reduction. This work opens the door for future efforts to integrate empirical epidemiological data with community generated experiential information to inform community health research and practice.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20352481</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>117</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">117</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bialek, R.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Building the science base for public health practice</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of public health management and practice JPHMP</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of public health management and practice JPHMP</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">51-8</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health-Services-Research-methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public-Health-Administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public-Health-Practice</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality-Assurance,-Health-Care-methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diffusion-of-Innovation</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health-Services-Research-organization-and-administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health-Services-Research-standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality-Assurance,-Health-Care-organization-and-administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality-Assurance,-Health-Care-standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United-States</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organization-and-administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2000</style></year></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1078-4659</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11067661</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This article explores the need for and current state of the science base in public health practice.

In this article, we develop and apply an extended analytical framework that incorporates explicitly population health needs, levels of service to respond to health needs, and provider productivity as additional variables in determining the future requirements for the levels and mix of healthcare providers. Because the model derives requirements for providers directly from the requirements for services, it can be applied to a wide range of different provider types and practice structures including the public health workforce. By identifying the separate determinants of provider requirements, the analytical framework avoids the &quot;illusions of necessity&quot; that have generated continuous increases in provider requirements. Moreover, the framework enables policy makers to evaluate the basis of, and justification for, increases in the numbers of provider and increases in education and training programs as a method of increasing supply. A broad range of policy instruments is identified for responding to gaps between estimated future requirements for care and the estimated future capacity of the healthcare workforce.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birch, Stephen&#xD;Kephart, George&#xD;Murphy, Gail Tomblin&#xD;O&apos;Brien-Pallas, Linda&#xD;Alder, Rob&#xD;MacKenzie, Adrian&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Nov;15(6 Suppl):S56-61.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> workforce</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181b1ec0e [doi]&#xD;00124784-200911001-00014 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>119</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">119</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birkhead, G.

A panel of experts was convened and met over a period of 20 months to develop a draft set of AECs. Drafts were presented at the annual meetings of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and the American Public Health Association. Input and comments were also solicited from practicing epidemiologists and 14 national organizations representing epidemiology and public health. RESULTS: In all, we developed 149 competency statements across the eight domains of public health practice and four tiers of applied epidemiologic practice. In addition, sub- and sub-subcompetency statements were developed to increase the document&apos;s specificity. During the process, &gt;800 comments from all governmental and academic levels and tiers of epidemiology practice were considered for the final statements. CONCLUSIONS: The AECs are available for use in improving the training for and skill levels of practicing applied epidemiologists and should also be useful for educators, employers, and supervisors.

Simple approaches, consistent with the biomedical paradigm, based on relating the cost of research to its supposed impact are being investigated and adopted in laboratory and clinical research. While this may be appropriate in such research areas, it should not be applied to health services research which aims to alter the ways policy-makers and managers think about health, disease and health care or, as John Maynard Keynes put it, &apos;the gradual encroachment of ideas&apos;. By considering six fundamental assumptions about health care that have been successfully challenged and overturned over the past few decades, the profound and sustained impact of health services research can be demonstrated. The application of economic models of &apos;payback&apos; would fail to recognize such contributions which, in turn, could threaten future funding of health services research.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Black, Nick&#xD;England&#xD;Journal of health services research &amp; policy&#xD;J Health Serv Res Policy. 2009 Apr;14(2):120-3.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">data, technology, and methods </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14/2/120 [pii]&#xD;10.1258/jhsrp.2008.008165 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>122</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">122</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blendon, R.

We calculated the sensitivity of birth certificates for reporting defects often discernable at birth (e.g., anencephaly, spina bifida, cleft lip, clubfoot, Down syndrome, and rectal atresia or stenosis). We used multivariable logistic regression models to examine associations with sociodemographic and hospital factors.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: The overall sensitivity of birth certificates was 23% and ranged from 7% for rectal atresia/stenosis to 69% for anencephaly. Non-Hispanic black maternal race/ethnicity, less than a high school education, and preterm birth were independently associated with a lower probability of a birth defect diagnosis being reported on a birth certificate. Sensitivity also was lower for hospitals with &gt; 1,000 births per year.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: The underreporting of birth defects on birth certificates is influenced by sociodemographic and hospital characteristics. Interpretation of birth defects prevalence estimates derived from birth certificate reports should take these issues into account.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21387948</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>870</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">870</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boulton, ML, Hadler J, Beck AJ, Ferland L, Lichtveld M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assessment of epidemiology capacity in state health departments, 2004-2009</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">84-93</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">126</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">assesment</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OBJECTIVES: To assess the number of epidemiologists and epidemiology capacity nationally, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists surveyed state health departments in 2004, 2006, and 2009. This article summarizes findings of the 2009 assessment and analyzes five-year (2004-2009) trends in the epidemiology workforce.&#xD;&#xD;METHODS: Online surveys collected information from all 50 states and the District of Columbia about the number of epidemiologists employed, their training and education, program and technologic capacity, organizational structure, and funding sources. State epidemiologists were the key informants; 1,544 epidemiologists provided individual-level information.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: The number of epidemiologists in state health departments decreased approximately 12% from 2004 to 2009. Two-thirds or more states reported less than substantial (&lt; 50% of optimum) surveillance and epidemiology capacity in five of nine program areas. Capacity has diminished since 2006 for three of four epidemiology-related Essential Services of Public Health (ESPHs). Fewer than half of all states reported using surveillance technologies such as Web-based provider reporting systems. State health departments need 68% more epidemiologists to reach optimal capacity in all program areas; smaller states (&lt; 5 million population) have higher epidemiologist-to-population ratios than more populous states.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: Epidemiology capacity in state health departments is suboptimal and has decreased, as assessed by states&apos; ability to carry out the ESPHs, by their ability to use newer surveillance technologies, and by the number of epidemiologists employed. Federal emergency preparedness funding, which supported more than 20% of state-based epidemiologists in 2006, has decreased. The 2009 Epidemiology Capacity Assessment demonstrates the negative impact of this decrease on states&apos; epidemiology capacity.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21337933</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>124</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">124</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boulton, M.

This article summarizes findings of the 2006 assessment, analyzes trends in epidemiology workforce, and examines statistical associations between the number of epidemiologists and measures of capacity. METHODS: The on-line surveys collected information from 50 states and the District of Columbia about the number of epidemiologists employed, their training and educational background, program capacity, organizational structure, and funding sources. The State Epidemiologists and/or their designees answered the questionnaire. RESULTS: The number of epidemiologists in state health departments increased approximately 40 percent from 2001 to 2006. All programs except occupational health experienced increase in the number of epidemiologists; the greatest increase occurred in bioterrorism programs. Estimated epidemiology capacity increased in all programs except environmental health and occupational health. The Epidemiology Capacity Assessment survey indicates that state health departments need 30 percent more epidemiologists. A linear correlation existed between the number of epidemiologists and state population. CONCLUSIONS: Federal emergency preparedness funding supported most of the increase in epidemiologists, which could fall as funding decreases. To function at full capacity, states need approximately one epidemiologist per 100 000 population for all program areas. Current estimates of workforce capacity need to be refined.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boulton, Matthew L&#xD;Lemmings, Jennifer&#xD;Beck, Angela J&#xD;U60/CCU007277/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Jul-Aug;15(4):328-36.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">workforce </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181a01eb3 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200907000-00010 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>126</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">126</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bouye, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Truman, B.

Therefore, interventions to mitigate pandemic influenza transmission in communities will be an important component of the response to a pandemic.

To enable compliance with community interventions, stakeholders recommended the following: (1) community mobilization and partnerships, (2) culturally specific emergency communications planning, (3) culturally specific education and training programs, (4) evidence-based measurement and evaluation efforts, (5) strategic planning policies, (6) inclusion of community members as partners, and (7) policy and program changes to minimize morbidity and mortality.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bouye, Karen&#xD;Truman, Benedict I&#xD;Hutchins, Sonja&#xD;Richard, Roland&#xD;Brown, Clive&#xD;Guillory, Joyce A&#xD;Rashid, Jamila&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Oct;99 Suppl 2:S287-93.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> organization and structure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99/S2/S287 [pii]&#xD;10.2105/AJPH.2009.165134 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>127</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">127</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bowser, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gostin, L.

The potential advantages include increased quality and more efficiency in the care of patients. Adoption of EHRs has been slow despite these advantages and a national call for EHR implementation.&#xD;&#xD;PURPOSES: This article explores factors associated with the adoption of EHR systems using organizational theory to derive hypotheses as to why physicians would adopt EHRs.&#xD;&#xD;METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: : A survey was administered to all office-based physicians in Nebraska and South Dakota using a modified Dillman technique between July and November 2007. The main outcome variable measured physician EHR adoption status at three levels: not planning to use an EHR, planning to use an EHR, and using an EHR. Factors associated with EHR status were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression.&#xD;&#xD;FINDINGS: Approximately 30% of physicians reported using an EHR in his or her practice. Physicians adopting EHRs were younger and had access to internal health information technologies support. In addition, working in an independent practice decreased the likelihood of physicians using and adopting EHRs.&#xD;&#xD;PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This research provides further evidence of the barriers impeding EHR adoption. One such barrier includes the lack of access to internal information technology support staff versus having to outsource for technical support services. From a resource dependency perspective, barriers illustrated by this example may place undue dependencies on physicians if they pursue an EHR system. By addressing these barriers, physicians may be in a better position to adopt EHR system into his or her practice.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20010013</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>940</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">940</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brehm, BJ, Gates DM, Singler M, Succop PA, D&apos;Alessio DA</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental changes to control obesity: a randomized controlled trial in manufacturing companies</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Health Promot</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Health Promot</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">334-40</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">obesity</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PURPOSE: To determine the effects of an environmental intervention on obesity, disease risk factors, and dietary intake in an employee population.&#xD;&#xD;DESIGN: Randomized controlled community trial.&#xD;&#xD;SETTING: Eight manufacturing companies in Kentucky with ∼150 to 350 employees each.&#xD;&#xD;SUBJECTS: Randomly selected employees.&#xD;&#xD;INTERVENTION: Multicomponent environmental intervention that included employee advisory committees, point-of-decision prompts, walking paths, cafeteria/vending changes, and educational materials.&#xD;&#xD;MEASURES: Height; weight; body fat; blood pressure; fasting lipids, glucose and insulin; and dietary intake were assessed prior to and 3, 6, and 12 months after initiation of the intervention.&#xD;&#xD;ANALYSIS: Mixed-model repeat-measure analyses of covariance were used to analyze data collected over the study period. Categorical data were analyzed in contingency tables. A p value of .05 was used to judge statistical significance.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: There were no intervention effects for outcome variables, with the exception of lower intake of saturated fat and dietary cholesterol in the intervention group compared to the control group. Over the course of the study, changes in anthropometry and biomeasures were similar in both groups.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate that subtle environmental changes alone may not impact employees&apos; weight and health; however, such institutional-level approaches may be essential to support healthy lifestyle habits that are initiated by more intensive efforts. Academic researchers should continue to partner with employers and practitioners to develop, implement, and evaluate innovative health promotion strategies including environmental interventions</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21534836</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>128</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">128</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brennan, T.

For the past ten years, the health care field has been struggling to integrate industrial models into its quality improvement systems. In order to judge whether regulation has evolved in tandem with these developments, three critical questions are examined: Is regulation improving the quality of health care? Are regulators integrating che tools of quality research into their oversight activities? Is there a way to combine continuous quality improvement (CQI) and modern methods of quality measurement into a new regulatory format? An exploration of these questions produces relatively little evidence that regulation has moved in the recommended direction, although there are some encouraging signs that regulators are becoming more responsive to the issues.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 150FR&#xD;Times Cited: 21&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 49&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;

and healthy principles improved resident health and building performance.&#xD;&#xD;METHODS: We investigated resident health and building performance outcomes at baseline and one year after the rehabilitation of low-income housing using Enterprise Green Communities green specifications, which improve ventilation; reduce moisture, mold, pests, and radon; and use sustainable building products and other healthy housing features. We assessed participant health via questionnaire, provided Healthy Homes training to all participants, and measured ventilation, carbon dioxide, and radon.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Adults reported statistically significant improvements in overall health, asthma, and non-asthma respiratory problems. Adults also reported that their children&apos;s overall health improved, with significant improvements in non-asthma respiratory problems. Post-renovation building performance testing indicated that the building envelope was tightened and local exhaust fans performed well. New mechanical ventilation was installed (compared with no ventilation previously), with fresh air being supplied at 70% of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers standard. Radon was &lt; 2 picocuries per liter of air following mitigation, and the annual average indoor carbon dioxide level was 982 parts per million. Energy use was reduced by 45% over the one-year post-renovation period.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: We found significant health improvements following low-income housing renovation that complied with green standards. All green building standards should include health requirements. Collaboration of housing, public health, and environmental health professionals through integrated design holds promise for improved health, quality of life, building operation, and energy conservation</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21563714</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>942</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">942</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Briand, S, Mounts A, Chamberland M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Challenges of global surveillance during an influenza pandemic</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">247-56</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">125</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveillance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveillance is an essential foundation for monitoring and evaluating any disease process, and is especially critical when new disease agents appear. The H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009 tested the capacities of countries to detect, assess, notify and report events as required by the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR). As detailed in the IHR, the World Health Organization drew on official reports from Member States as well as unofficial sources (e.g., media alerts) to quickly report and disseminate information about the appearance of the novel influenza virus. The pre-existing Global Influenza Surveillance Network for virological surveillance also provided crucial information for rapid development of a vaccine and for detection of changes in the virus. However, the pandemic also highlighted a number of shortcomings in global epidemiological surveillance for respiratory disease. These included the lack of standards for reporting illness, risk factor and mortality data, and a mechanism for systematic reporting of epidemiological data. Such measures would have facilitated direct comparison of data between countries and improved timely understanding of the characteristics and impact of the pandemic. This paper describes the surveillance strategies in place before the pandemic and the methods that were used at global level to monitor the pandemic. Enhancements of global surveillance are proposed to improve preparedness and response for similar events in the future.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21524774</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>129</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">129</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brooks, R.

To determine this, we collected primary data from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) for fiscal year 2005-2006 and compared it with secondary data collected in the same year through NPHPS survey instruments. A structured interview technique was used to collect primary budget data from each program office at the FDOH and assign each program budget to 10EPHS categories. Local county health department (CHD) expenditures were assessed through an interview with the director and budget chief of one small, medium, and large CHD, and results were then extrapolated for other local CHDs. It was possible for almost 98 percent of the FDOH budget to be allocated into the 10EPHS categories. A majority of resources (68.7%) were used for individual healthcare services, category 7b (assuring provision of services) and category 7a (linking people to needed services). No direct correlation was found between the level of funding by 10EPHS category and the performance standards scores at state or local levels. Public health continues to utilize a majority of its available resources for individual healthcare services, despite increasing requests for improved population-based programs.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brooks, Robert G&#xD;Beitsch, Leslie M&#xD;Street, Phil&#xD;Chukmaitov, Askar&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Jul-Aug;15(4):299-306.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">finance </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181a02074 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200907000-00006 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>130</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">130</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brosnan, C.

The authors compared the dollar cost of detecting infants with CAH clinically and through the screening program. METHODS: The authors estimated the costs of screening newborns in 1994 for CAH, including resources used by the Texas Department of Health and the broader cost to society. RESULTS: Fifteen infants with classic CAH were diagnosed in Texas in 1994 among 325,521 infants born (1:21,701 cumulative incidence). Seven infants were detected clinically and the others were detected through screening, six on the first screen and two on the second screen. The first screen identified all previously undetected infants with severe salt-wasting CAH. The cumulative cost to diagnose the seven infants detected clinically was $79,187. The incremental costs for the screening program were $115,169 per additional infant diagnosed through the first screen and $242,865 per additional infant diagnosed through the second screen. CONCLUSIONS: If the goal is early diagnosis of infants with the severe salt-wasting form of CAH, a single screen is effective. If the goal is to detect infants with the simple virilizing form of the disorder who may benefit from early treatment, the second screen is necessary, but it is not as cost-effective as the first screen.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brosnan, C A&#xD;Brosnan, P&#xD;Therrell, B L&#xD;Slater, C H&#xD;Swint, J M&#xD;Annegers, J F&#xD;Riley, W J&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United states&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 1998 Mar-Apr;113(2):170-8.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>131</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">131</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brown, C.

We use the term adaptive design to refer to a trial in which characteristics of the study itself, such as the proportion assigned to active intervention versus control, change during the trial in response to data being collected. The term adaptive sequence of trials refers to a decision-making process that fundamentally informs the conceptualization and conduct of each new trial with the results of previous trials. Our discussion below investigates the utility of these two types of adaptations for public health evaluations. Examples are provided to illustrate how adaptation can be used in practice. From these case studies, we discuss whether such evaluations can or should be analyzed as if they were formal randomized trials, and we discuss practical as well as ethical issues arising in the conduct of these new-generation trials.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brown, C Hendricks&#xD;Ten Have, Thomas R&#xD;Jo, Booil&#xD;Dagne, Getachew&#xD;Wyman, Peter A&#xD;Muthen, Bengt&#xD;Gibbons, Robert D&#xD;P20 MH071897-05/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;P20MH071897/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;P30 DA023920-02/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/United States&#xD;P30 MH074678-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;P30MH068685/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 DA025192-01A1/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 MH040859-20/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 MH066319-05/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 MH068423-05/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 MH069353-03/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 MH076158-03/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 MH078016-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01 MH080122-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01-MH40859/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01DA 025192/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01MH06624/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01MH066319/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01MH068423/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01MH069353/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01MH076158/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01MH078016/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R01MH080122/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R34 MH071189-03/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;R34MH071189/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States&#xD;SM57405/SM/CMHS SAMHSA HHS/United States&#xD;U54 NS057405-01A19002/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Annual review of public health&#xD;Annu Rev Public Health. 2009 Apr 29;30:1-25.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, technology, and methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1146/annurev.publhealth.031308.100223 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>132</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">132</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brownson, R.

Missing from the literature is a clear articulation of the definition of evidence-based policy and approaches to move the field forward. Policy-relevant evidence includes both quantitative (e.g., epidemiological) and qualitative information (e.g., narrative accounts). We describe 3 key domains of evidence-based policy: (1) process, to understand approaches to enhance the likelihood of policy adoption; (2) content, to identify specific policy elements that are likely to be effective; and (3) outcomes, to document the potential impact of policy. Actions to further evidence-based policy include preparing and communicating data more effectively, using existing analytic tools more effectively, conducting policy surveillance, and tracking outcomes with different types of evidence.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brownson, Ross C&#xD;Chriqui, Jamie F&#xD;Stamatakis, Katherine A&#xD;1R01CA124404-01/CA/NCI NIH HHS/United States&#xD;U48/DP000060/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Sep;99(9):1576-83.

This article reviews the concepts of evidence-based public health (EBPH), on which formal discourse originated about a decade ago. Key components of EBPH include making decisions on the basis of the best available scientific evidence, using data and information systems systematically, applying program-planning frameworks, engaging the community in decision making, conducting sound evaluation, and disseminating what is learned. Three types of evidence have been presented on the causes of diseases and the magnitude of risk factors, the relative impact of specific interventions, and how and under which contextual conditions interventions were implemented. Analytic tools (e.g., systematic reviews, economic evaluation) can be useful in accelerating the uptake of EBPH. Challenges and opportunities (e.g., political issues, training needs) for disseminating EBPH are reviewed. The concepts of EBPH outlined in this article hold promise to better bridge evidence and practice.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brownson, Ross C&#xD;Fielding, Jonathan E&#xD;Maylahn, Christopher M&#xD;U48 DP00060/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Annual review of public health&#xD;Annu Rev Public Health. 2009 Apr 29;30:175-201.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> organizationand structure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1146/annurev.publhealth.031308.100134 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>134</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">134</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Broz, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Levin, E.

METHODS: Between September 12 and October 21, 2005, we conducted a real-time qualitative assessment of a medical unit in Chicago&apos;s Hurricane Victim Welcome and Relief Center. A semistructured guide was used to interview 33 emergency responders in an effort to identify key operational successes and failures. RESULTS: The medical unit functioned at a relatively high level, primarily as a result of the flexibility, creativity, and dedication of its staff and the presence of strong leadership. Chronic health care services and prescription refills were the most commonly mentioned services provided, and collaboration with a national pharmacy proved instrumental in reconstructing medication histories. The lack of a comprehensive and well-communicated emergency response plan resulted in several preventable inefficiencies. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the need for improved planning for care of evacuee populations after a major emergency event and the importance of ensuring continuity of care for the most vulnerable. We provide an emergency response preparedness checklist for local public health departments.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Broz, Dita&#xD;Levin, Elise C&#xD;Mucha, Amy P&#xD;Pelzel, Darlene&#xD;Wong, William&#xD;Persky, Victoria W&#xD;Hershow, Ronald C&#xD;1T01CD000189-01/CD/CDC HHS/United States&#xD;5T32DA007293/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Aug;99(8):1496-504.

Over the last two decades, assessment of patient health status has undergone a dramatic paradigm shift, evolving from a predominant reliance on biochemical and physical measurements, such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate, lipid profiles, or radiographs, to an emphasis upon health outcomes based on the patient&apos;s personal appreciation of their illness. The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), published in 1980, was among the first instruments based on generic, patient-centered dimensions. The HAQ was designed to represent a model of patient-oriented outcome assessment and has played a major role in many diverse areas such as prediction of successful aging, inversion of the therapeutic pyramid in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), quantification of NSAID gastropathy, development of risk factor models for osteoarthrosis, and examination of mortality risks in RA. Evidenced by its use over the past two decades in diverse settings, the HAQ has established itself as a valuable, effective, and sensitive tool for measurement of health status. It is available in more than 60 languages and is supported by a bibliography of more than 500 references.

METHODS: Children 2 to 16 years of age with diagnosed asthma and at least 1 asthma-related hospitalization or 2 emergency visits in the prior year were randomly assigned into 2 groups (immediate and delayed intervention) in a crossover study. Each group participated in the active phase (intervention) and the inactive phase. Outcomes included asthma symptoms, albuterol use, emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and trigger reduction. RESULTS: A total of 264 primarily Black (94%) children were enrolled. The mean number of emergency visits decreased by 30% and inpatient visits decreased by 53% (P &lt; .001) after the intervention. Reductions were seen in pests, presence of carpets in bedrooms, and dust. Nighttime wheezing was significantly reduced after the intervention in both groups (P &lt; .001). CONCLUSIONS: Lay health educators effectively reduced asthma triggers and increased caregiver asthma knowledge, which resulted in reduced emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and asthma symptoms. The relationships formed between the caregivers and the lay health educators appeared to positively impact asthma outcomes in this disadvantaged population.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bryant-Stephens, Tyra&#xD;Kurian, Cizely&#xD;Guo, Rong&#xD;Zhao, Hauqing&#xD;1 R25 ES11115-01/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/United States&#xD;Randomized Controlled Trial&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Nov;99 Suppl 3:S657-65.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, technology, and methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99/S3/S657 [pii]&#xD;10.2105/AJPH.2009.165423 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>137</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">137</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buehler, J.

Two common strategies for making such allocations are expert review of competitive applications and the use of funding formulas. Despite widespread use of funding formulas by public health agencies in the United States, formula allocation strategies in public health have been subject to relatively little formal scrutiny, with the notable exception of the attention focused on formula funding of HIV care programs. To inform debates and deliberations in the selection of a formula-based approach, we summarize key challenges to formula-based funding, based on prior reviews of federal programs in the United States. DISCUSSION: The primary challenge lies in identifying data sources and formula calculation methods that both reflect and serve program objectives, with or without adjustments for variations in the cost of delivering services, the availability of local resources, capacity, or performance. Simplicity and transparency are major advantages of formula-based allocations, but these advantages can be offset if formula-based allocations are perceived to under- or over-fund some jurisdictions, which may result from how guaranteed minimum funding levels are set or from &quot;hold-harmless&quot; provisions intended to blunt the effects of changes in formula design or random variations in source data. While fairness is considered an advantage of formula-based allocations, the design of a formula may implicitly reflect unquestioned values concerning equity versus equivalence in setting funding policies. Whether or how past or projected trends are taken into account can also have substantial impacts on allocations. SUMMARY: Insufficient attention has been focused on how the approach to designing funding formulas in public health should differ for treatment or service versus prevention programs. Further evaluations of formula-based versus competitive allocation methods are needed to promote the optimal use of public health funds. In the meantime, those who use formula-based strategies to allocate funds should be familiar with the nuances of this approach.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buehler, James W&#xD;Holtgrave, David R&#xD;Review&#xD;England&#xD;BMC public health&#xD;BMC Public Health. 2007 Mar 29;7:44.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1471-2458-7-44 [pii]&#xD;10.1186/1471-2458-7-44 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>138</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">138</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buehler, J.

Characteristics of formula-based allocations used by a convenience sample of four programs, three from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and one from the Health Resources and Services Administration, are described to illustrate formula-based allocation methods in public health. Data sources in these public health formulas include population counts and funding proportions based on historical precedent. None include factors that adjust allocations based on variations in the availability of local resources or the cost of delivering services. Formula-funded activities are supplemented by programs that target specific prevention needs or encourage development of innovative methods to address emerging problems, using set-aside funds. A public health finance research agenda should address ways to improve the fit between funding allocation formulas and program objectives.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buehler, James W&#xD;Holtgrave, David R&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Mar-Apr;13(2):151-5.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">00124784-200703000-00010 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>139</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">139</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buehler, J.

In Georgia, public health officials and members of the Business Executives for National Security have successfully collaborated to develop and test procedures for dispensing medications from the Strategic National Stockpile. Lessons learned from this collaboration should be useful to other public health and business leaders interested in developing similar partnerships. METHODS: The authors conducted a case study based on interviews with 26 government, business, and academic participants in this collaboration. RESULTS: The partnership is based on shared objectives to protect public health and assure community cohesion in the wake of a large-scale disaster, on the recognition that acting alone neither public health agencies nor businesses are likely to manage such a response successfully, and on the realization that business and community continuity are intertwined. The partnership has required participants to acknowledge and address multiple challenges, including differences in business and government cultures and operational constraints, such as concerns about the confidentiality of shared information, liability, and the limits of volunteerism. The partnership has been facilitated by a business model based on defining shared objectives, identifying mutual needs and vulnerabilities, developing carefully-defined projects, and evaluating proposed project methods through exercise testing. Through collaborative engagement in progressively more complex projects, increasing trust and understanding have enabled the partners to make significant progress in addressing these challenges. CONCLUSION: As a result of this partnership, essential relationships have been established, substantial private resources and capabilities have been engaged in government preparedness programs, and a model for collaborative, emergency mass dispensing of pharmaceuticals has been developed, tested, and slated for expansion. The lessons learned from this collaboration in Georgia should be considered by other government and business leaders seeking to develop similar partnerships.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buehler, James W&#xD;Whitney, Ellen A&#xD;Berkelman, Ruth L&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;England&#xD;BMC public health&#xD;BMC Public Health. 2006 Nov 20;6:285.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1471-2458-6-285 [pii]&#xD;10.1186/1471-2458-6-285 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>140</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">140</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burckhardt, C.

This paper reviews the development and psychometric testing of the QOLS. A descriptive review of the published literature was undertaken and findings summarized in the frequently asked questions format. Reliability, content and construct validity testing has been performed on the QOLS and a number of translations have been made. The QOLS has low to moderate correlations with physical health status and disease measures. However, content validity analysis indicates that the instrument measures domains that diverse patient groups with chronic illness define as quality of life. The QOLS is a valid instrument for measuring quality of life across patient groups and cultures and is conceptually distinct from health status or other causal indicators of quality of life.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burckhardt, Carol S&#xD;Anderson, Kathryn L&#xD;Review&#xD;England&#xD;Health and quality of life outcomes&#xD;Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2003 Oct 23;1:60.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Technology and Methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1186/1477-7525-1-60 [doi]&#xD;1477-7525-1-60 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>141</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">141</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burke, T.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Health Policy, The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, Washington, DC 20006, USA. taylorb@gwu.edu</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The health information technology provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: implications for public health policy and practice</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">141-5</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">125</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010/04/21</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">American Recovery and Reinvestment Act</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomedical Technology/economics/ legislation &amp;

Purchasing groups thus represent pooling alliances rather than trading alliances (e.g., joint ventures). Pooling alliances have been discussed in the health care management literature for years but have never received much empirical investigation. They represent a potentially important source of economies of scale for hospitals. PURPOSES: This study represents the first national survey of hospital purchasing alliances. The survey analyzes alliance utilization, services, and performance from the perspective of the hospital executive in charge of materials management. This study extends research on pooling alliances, develops national benchmark statistics, and answers important issues raised recently about pooling alliances. METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The investigators surveyed hospital members in the seven largest purchasing alliances (that account for 93% of all hospital purchases) and individual members of the Association of Healthcare Resource &amp; Materials Management. The concatenated database yielded an approximate population of all hospital materials managers numbering 5,014. FINDINGS: Hospital purchasing group alliances succeed in reducing health care costs by lowering product prices, particularly for commodity and pharmaceutical items. Alliances also reduce transaction costs through commonly negotiated contracts and increase hospital revenues via rebates and dividends. Thus, alliances may achieve purchasing economies of scale. Hospitals report additional value as evidenced by their long tenure and the large share of purchases routed through the alliances. Alliances appear to be less successful, however, in providing other services of importance and value to hospitals and in mediating the purchase of expensive physician preference items. There is little evidence that alliances exclude new innovative firms from the marketplace or restrict hospital access to desired products. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Pooling alliances appear successful in purchasing commodity and pharmaceutical products. Pooling alliances face the same issues as trading alliances in their efforts to work with physicians and the supply items they prefer.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burns, Lawton R&#xD;Lee, J Andrew&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, Non-P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Health care management review&#xD;Health Care Manage Rev. 2008 Jul-Sep;33(3):203-15.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.HMR.0000324906.04025.33 [doi]&#xD;00004010-200807000-00003 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>826</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">826</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burton, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Graham, J.

We hypothesized that children&apos;s exposure to cigarette advertising leads them to overestimate the prevalence of smoking, and that these distorted perceptions, in turn, lead to increased intentions to smoke. Children in Finland, where there has been a total tobacco advertising ban since 1978, were compared with children in the United States at a time when tobacco advertising was ubiquitous. Samples of 477 8- to 14-year-old Helsinki students and 453 8- to 14-year-old Los Angeles students whose lifetime cigarette use consisted of no more than a puff of a cigarette were administered questionnaires in their classrooms. The primary hypothesis was confirmed. Los Angeles youth were significantly more likely than Helsinki youth to overestimate the prevalence of adult smoking, in spite of the fact that actual adult smoking prevalence in Helsinki was almost twice that of Los Angeles adults. A similar, significant pattern for perceived peer smoking was obtained, with Los Angeles youth being more likely than Helsinki youth to overestimate prevalence, in spite of the actual greater prevalence of youth smoking in Helsinki.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burton, Dee&#xD;Graham, John W&#xD;Johnson, C Anderson&#xD;Uutela, Antti&#xD;Vartiainen, Erkki&#xD;Palmer, Raymond F&#xD;CA35596/CA/NCI NIH HHS/United States&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;England&#xD;Journal of health communication&#xD;J Health Commun. 2010 Sep;15(6):656-64.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, technology, and methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">926435297 [pii]&#xD;10.1080/10810730.2010.499595 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>143</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">143</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Butler, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tews, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raevsky, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canavese, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wojciehowski, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michalak, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thomas, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brewster, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mason, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schmidt, R.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Accreditation/Performance assessment on-site reviews in Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, and Washington: implications for States and an evolving national model</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of public health management and practice JPHMP</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of public health management and practice JPHMP</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">395-403</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Accreditation-statistics-and-numerical-data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Program-Evaluation-methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public-Health-standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public-Health-Practice-statistics-and-numerical-data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Accreditation-methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peer-Review</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United-States</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">statistics-and-numerical-data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">standards</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1078-4659</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17563629</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In 1988, the Committee for the Study of the Future of Public Health identified the core functions of assessment, policy development, and assurance as key roles of the public health governmental sector.

Several of these programs share a common &quot;on-site review&quot; component defined as a site-specific visit to assess, observe, interview, review, evaluate, and/or survey a local/state agency or program regarding its ability to meet a set of public health standards.

METHODS: A descriptive overview is provided that is based on a review of meeting summaries, published reports, Websites, project reports, databases, usage statistics, and personal experiences from offices in the National Library of Medicine (NLM), six organizations that collaborate formally with NLM on the Partners initiative, and one outside funding partner. RESULTS: With ten years of experience, the initiative is an effective and unique public-private collaboration that builds on the strengths and needs of the organizations that are involved and the constituencies that they serve. Partners-supported and sponsored projects include satellite broadcasts or Webcasts, training initiatives, Web resource development, a collection of historical literature, and strategies for workforce enumeration and expansion of public health systems research, which provide excellent examples of the benefits realized from collaboration between the public health community and health sciences libraries. CONCLUSIONS: With continued funding, existing and new Partners-sponsored projects will be able to fulfill many public health information needs. This collaboration provides excellent opportunities to strengthen the partnership between library science and public health in the use of health information and tools for purposes of improving and protecting the public&apos;s health.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cahn, Marjorie A&#xD;Auston, Ione&#xD;Selden, Catherine R&#xD;Cogdill, Keith&#xD;Baker, Stacy&#xD;Cavanaugh, Debra&#xD;Elliott, Sterling&#xD;Foster, Allison J&#xD;Leep, Carolyn J&#xD;Perez, Debra Joy&#xD;Pomietto, Blakely R&#xD;U50/CCU302718/United States PHS&#xD;Historical Article&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of the Medical Library Association : JMLA&#xD;J Med Libr Assoc. 2007 Jul;95(3):301-9.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.3163/1536-5050.95.3.301 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>839</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">839</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calciolari S, Buccoliero L.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information integration in health care organizations: The case of a European health system.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Care Manage Rev</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Care Manage Rev</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">266-275</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">35</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">information</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abstract&#xD;BACKGROUND: Information system integration is an important dimension of a company&apos;s information system maturity and plays a relevant role in meeting information needs and accountability targets. However, no generalizable evidence exists about whether and how the main integrating technologies influence information system integration in health care organizations.&#xD;&#xD;PURPOSE: This study examined how integrating technologies are adopted in public health care organizations and chief information officers&apos; (CIOs) perceptions about their influence on information system integration.&#xD;&#xD;METHODOLOGY: We used primary data on integrating technologies&apos; adoption and CIOs&apos; perception regarding information system integration in public health care organizations. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multinomial logistic regression were used to examine the relationship between CIOs&apos; perception about information system integration and the adopted technologies.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Data from 90 health care organizations were available for analyses. Integrating technologies are relatively diffused in public health care organizations, and CIOs seem to shape information system toward integrated architectures. There is a significant positive (although modest, .3) correlation between the number of integrating technologies adopted and the CIO&apos;s satisfaction with them. However, regression analysis suggests that organizations covering a broader spectrum of these technologies are less likely to have their CIO reporting main problems concerning integration in the administrative area of the information system compared with the clinical area and where the two areas overlap.&#xD;&#xD;PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Integrating technologies are associated with less perceived problems in the information system administrative area rather than in other areas. Because CIOs play the role of information resource allocators, by influencing information system toward integrated architecture, health care organization leaders should foster cooperation between CIOs and medical staff to enhance information system integration.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20551774</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>145</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">145</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calhoun, J.

Tax avoidance, however, lessens the public health benefits of higher-priced cigarettes. Few studies examine responses to cigarette tax policies, particularly among high-risk minority populations. This study examined the prevalence and correlates of tax avoidance and changes in smoking behaviors among Chinese American smokers in New York City after a large tax increase. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study with data for 614 male smokers from in-person and telephone interviews using a comprehensive household-based survey of 2,537 adults aged 18-74 years. Interviews were conducted in multiple Chinese dialects. RESULTS: A total of 54.7% of respondents reported engaging in at least one low- or no-tax strategy after the New York City and New York State tax increases. The more common strategies for tax avoidance were purchasing cigarettes from a private supplier/importer and purchasing duty free/overseas. Higher consumption, younger age, and number of years in the U.S. were consistently associated with engaging in tax avoidance. Younger and heavier continuing smokers were less likely to make a change in smoking behavior in response to the tax increase. Despite high levels of tax avoidance and varying prices, nearly half of continuing smokers made a positive change in smoking behavior after the tax increase. CONCLUSIONS: Expanded legislation and enforcement must be directed toward minimizing the availability of legal and illegal low- or no-tax cigarette outlets. Public education and cessation assistance customized for the Chinese American community is key to maximizing the effectiveness of tobacco tax policies in this population.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cantreill, Jennifer&#xD;Hung, Dorothy&#xD;Fahs, Marianne C&#xD;Shelley, Donna&#xD;R01-CA93788-01/CA/United States NCI&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2008 Mar-Apr;123(2):135-46.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>148</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">148</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carande-Kulis, V.

The government provides goods and services such as registration of births and deaths, public health surveillance of disease and injury, outbreak investigations, research and education, health insurance for the poor and elderly, enforcement of laws and regulations, evaluation of health promotion programs, and assurance of a competent healthy workforce. In the past, economics in public health has almost exclusively focused on efficiency of programs through the use of cost-effectiveness or net present value measures clustered under the rubric of &quot;economic evaluation.&quot; Efficiency measures are useful at the programmatic level. However, lack of full employment and market failures including public goods and the impact of consumers and producers actions not reflected in the markets (externalities) not only compromise efficiency but also generate health inequities.

STUDY DESIGN: Epidemiological and environmental investigation of a cluster of cases of Legionnaires&apos; disease. METHODS: Outbreak investigation included: agreeing case definitions; case finding; epidemiological survey; identification and environmental investigation of potential sources; microbiological analysis of clinical and environmental samples; mapping the location of potential sources; and the movement and residence of cases. RESULTS: Three cases of Legionnaires&apos; disease were admitted to a local hospital between 30 and 31 August 2006. Two of these cases were Shropshire residents, with the third living in Wales. A fourth case was also identified which, it was thought, may have been linked to this cluster as the patient had a history of travel to the same area as the two Shropshire residents. Over the next few weeks, three more cases were identified, two of whom were admitted to hospital. Subsequent detailed environmental, epidemiological and microbiological investigation did not support the hypothesis that any of these cases could be linked to a common source. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this investigation strongly suggest that a single source was not responsible for the cluster, and it was concluded that this incident was a pseudo-outbreak. This investigation serves as a reminder that clusters can and do occur, and that an apparent outbreak may be a collection of sporadic cases distinguishable only by rigorous epidemiological, environmental and microbiological investigation.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carr, R&#xD;Warren, R&#xD;Towers, L&#xD;Bartholomew, A&#xD;Duggal, H V&#xD;Rehman, Y&#xD;Harrison, T G&#xD;Olowokure, B&#xD;Netherlands&#xD;Public health&#xD;Public Health. 2010 Jun;124(6):326-31.

Using 4 brief case studies, each with a different data collection methodology, we provide examples of how community members participated in data analysis, interpretation, or both, thereby strengthening community capacity and providing unique insight. The roles and skills of the community and academic partners were different from but complementary to each other. We suggest that including community partners in data analysis and interpretation, while lengthening project time, enriches insights and findings and consequently should be a focus of the next generation of CBPR initiatives.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, Data, Methods&#xD;Workforce</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>150</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">150</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cava, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toronto Public Health--Planning and Policy, 277 Victoria Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. mcava@toronto.ca</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Is public health ready for a professional practice framework?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Health Serv Res Policy</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Health Serv Res Policy</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">57-63</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13 Suppl 1</style></volume><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008/04/23</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Focus Groups</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interviews as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ontario</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Professional Competence/standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Professional Practice/ standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1355-8196 (Print)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18325171</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OBJECTIVE: To develop a framework for professional practice for a large urban public health unit in Canada. METHODS: The project involved a literature search, key informant interviews, an environmental scan and focus groups. RESULTS: Analysis and synthesis led to recommendations for the development of discipline-specific Professional Practice Leaders (PPL) and an Interprofessional Practice Leaders Network. The latter meets to discuss cross-cutting practice issues and is chaired by the chief executive officer of the health unit, the Medical Officer of Health. The one-year evaluation has demonstrated that this initiative has worked well in practice. It is a flexible framework which provides new leadership opportunities and gives staff valuable input into decision-making on practice issues. It is also a more efficient use of staff resources, including a comprehensive approach to solving problems and in breaking down silos between programs. Communication and collaboration between disciplines has increased. CONCLUSION: The initiative was evaluated successfully after the pilot year. In going forward areas to review include the time allotment for the PPL, communication between the PPL, the respective Program Director and the entire department, and expanding professional development opportunities for the PPL.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cava, Maureen&#xD;England&#xD;Journal of health services research &amp; policy&#xD;J

In 2001, quitline services for tobacco users without health insurance coverage for cessation services were introduced and statewide mass media campaigns publicizing them were initiated. In 2005, Minnesota imposed a $0.75 per pack tax on cigarettes, followed in 2009 by a $0.62 per pack increase in federal excise tax, contributing in large part to a more than $2 increase in the average price of cigarettes. In 2007, a comprehensive, statewide smoke-free law was passed. Using surveillance data from the Minnesota Adult Tobacco Survey (MATS) and cigarette pack sales data, this report examines the effects of these tobacco-related public health efforts. Compared with a 15% decline in national adult smoking prevalence since 1999, adult smoking prevalence in Minnesota decreased 27.1%, from 22.1% in 1999 to 16.1% in 2010. During the same period, per capita cigarette sales in Minnesota decreased 40%. In addition, in 2010 compared with 1999, a higher percentage of adults reported that smoking was restricted in their homes (87.2% versus 64.5%), and adults were less likely to report exposure to secondhand smoke (45.6% versus 67.2%). In the past decade, Minnesota has benefited from sustained tobacco control. Future progress in decreasing adult smoking and reducing exposure to secondhand smoke will depend on a concerted effort across the public health community to keep tobacco control a priority.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21307824</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>878</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">878</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CDC</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Update: influenza activity--United States, October 3, 2010-February 5, 2011</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">175-81</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">influenza</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This report summarizes U.S. influenza activity since the beginning of the 2010-11 influenza season (October 3, 2010) and updates the previous report.

During January 2010, approximately 18,000 residents of two predominantly rural counties in Alabama lost access to municipal water for up to 12 days after below-freezing temperatures led to breaks in water mains and residential water pipes and caused widespread systemic mechanical failures. To assess potential health impacts, use of alternative water sources, and effectiveness of the emergency response, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) invited CDC to assist in an investigation that included a survey of 470 households representing 1,283 residents and a qualitative investigation (i.e., focus group discussions and interviews with key informants). This report summarizes the results of that investigation, which found a significantly higher prevalence of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) among residents of households that lost both water service and water pressure (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.6), that lost water service for ≥7 days (AOR = 2.4), and that lost water pressure for ≥7 days (AOR = 3.5). Significant dose-response relationships were observed between increased duration of lost water service or pressure and AGI. The survey and qualitative investigation revealed that households, communities, water utilities, and institutions were not adequately prepared for water emergencies in areas of communication and notification, planning for alternative water sources, and interagency coordination. Health effects from loss of water supply or water pressure might be mitigated by public health involvement in fostering household, community, and interagency preparedness, and developing communication strategies that will reach the majority of citizens in a timely manner.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default"

Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) conducts surveillance among 15% of the U.S. population for laboratory-confirmed infections with nine pathogens transmitted commonly through food. Overall and pathogen-specific changes in incidence were estimated from 1996-1998 to 2010 and from 2006-2008 to 2010.hospitalizations, and 3,000 deaths annually. This report summarizes 2010 surveillance data and describes trends since 1996.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: A total of 19,089 infections, 4,247 hospitalizations, and 68 deaths were reported from FoodNet sites in 2010. Salmonella infection was the most common infection reported (17.6 illnesses per 100,000 persons) and was associated with the largest number of hospitalizations (2,290) and deaths (29); no significant change in incidence of Salmonella infection has occurred since the start of surveillance during 1996-1998. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 infection caused 0.9 illnesses per 100,000. Compared with 1996-1998, overall incidence of infection with six key pathogens in 2010 was 23% lower, and pathogen-specific incidence was lower for Campylobacter, Listeria, STEC O157, Shigella, and Yersinia infection but higher for Vibrio infection. Compared with a more recent period, 2006--2008, incidence in 2010 was lower for STEC O157 and Shigella infection but higher for Vibrio infection.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of STEC O157 infection has declined to reach the 2010 national health objective target of ≥1 case per 100,000. This success, as well as marked declines since 1996-1998 in overall incidence of six key foodborne infections, demonstrates the feasibility of preventing foodborne illnesses. IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE: Salmonella infection should be targeted because it has not declined significantly in more than a decade, and other data indicate that it is one of the most common foodborne infections, resulting in an estimated $365 million in direct medical costs annually. The prevention measures that reduced STEC O157 infection need to be applied more broadly to reduce Salmonella and other infections. Effective measures from farm to table include preventing contamination of meat during slaughter and of all foods, including produce, during processing and preparation; cooking meat thoroughly; vigorously detecting and investigating outbreaks; and recalling contaminated food.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21659984</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>934</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">934</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CDC</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interim results: state-specific influenza vaccination coverage--United States, August 2010-February 2011</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">737-43</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">vaccination</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The 2010--11 influenza season was unusual because it followed the 2009 influenza A pandemic (H1N1) season and it was the first season the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended influenza vaccination of all persons aged ≥6 months. The season also was notable because a record number of seasonal influenza vaccine doses (approximately 163 million) were distributed in the United States. To provide preliminary state-specific influenza vaccination coverage estimates, CDC analyzed Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data for adults aged ≥18 years and National Immunization Survey (NIS) data for children aged 6 months-17 years collected September 2010 through March 2011. By February 28, the preliminary national vaccination coverage estimate was 49.0% for children aged 6 months-17 years; among 43 states and the District of Columbia (DC), coverage ranged from 30.2% for adults aged 18-49 years to 68.6% for adults aged ≥65 years. The record high seasonal vaccination coverage achieved during 2009-10 (41.3%) among persons aged ≥6 months in 43 states and DC was sustained during the 2010--11 season (42.8%). Coverage for Hispanic and non-Hispanic black children increased by 11-12 percentage points from 2009-10 levels. Opportunity exists to improve coverage in all age groups, particularly among adults. To accomplish that, health departments and other nonoffice-based vaccination providers can increase access to vaccination at work and school locations, pharmacies and stores, and other nonmedical sites. In addition, physicians and clinics should implement proven strategies for improving vaccination coverage (e.g., office-based protocols, including reminder/recall notification and standing orders).&#xD;&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21659982</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>935</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">935</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CDC</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaccination coverage among children in kindergarten--United States, 2009-10 school year</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">700-4</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaccination</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Healthy People 2020 objectives include maintaining vaccination coverage among children in kindergarten (IID-10) (1). The target is ≥95% vaccination coverage for the following vaccines: poliovirus; diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTP/DTaP/DT); measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); hepatitis B (HepB); and varicella (1). Data from school assessment surveys are used to monitor vaccination coverage and vaccination exemption levels among children enrolled in kindergarten. This report summarizes data from school assessment surveys submitted to CDC by 48 federal immunization program grantees (including 47 states and the District of Columbia) for the 2009-10 school year to describe vaccination coverage and exemption rates (2). For that period, 17 grantees reported coverage of ?95% for four vaccines (poliovirus, DTP/DTaP/DT, MMR, and HepB) and four grantees reported coverage of ≥95% for 2 doses of varicella vaccine. Total exemption rates, including medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions, ranged from &lt;1% to 6.2% across grantees, and 15 grantees reported exemption rates&lt;1%. Survey methods for vaccination coverage and exemption rates varied among grantees, making comparisons difficult and limiting the use of school assessment surveys to report aggregate national rates. Further standardization of school assessment survey methods will generate comparable data between grantees to monitor and track progress in reaching national objectives, and allow development of best practice guidelines for grantees to more effectively use and report school coverage and exemption data. CDC will continue to monitor vaccination coverage and exemption levels and assist grantees in identification of local areas with low vaccination coverage or high exemption rates for further evaluation or intervention</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21637184</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>936</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">936</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CDC</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV surveillance--United States, 1981-2008</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">689-93</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveillance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Within 1 year of the initial report in 1981 of a deadly new disease that occurred predominantly in previously healthy persons and was manifested by Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and Kaposi&apos;s sarcoma, the disease had a name: acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Within 2 years, the causative agent had been identified: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). On the 30th anniversary of the epidemic, to characterize trends in HIV infection and AIDS in the United States during 1981-2008, CDC analyzed data from the National HIV Surveillance System. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that, in the first 14 years, sharp increases were reported in the number of new AIDS diagnoses and deaths among persons aged≥13 years, reaching highs of 75,457 in 1992 and 50,628 in 1995, respectively. With introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy, AIDS diagnoses and deaths declined substantially from 1995 to 1998 and remained stable from 1999 to 2008 at an average of 38,279 AIDS diagnoses and 17,489 deaths per year, respectively. Despite the decline in AIDS cases and deaths, at the end of 2008 an estimated 1,178,350 persons were living with HIV, including 236,400 (20.1%) whose infection was undiagnosed. These findings underscore the importance of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy focus on reducing HIV risk behaviors, increasing opportunities for routine testing, and enhancing use of care (1).&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21637182</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>945</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">945</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CDC</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult blood lead epidemiology and surveillance--United States, 2008-2009</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">841-5</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epidemiology, surveillance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lead exposure can result in acute or chronic adverse effects in multiple organ systems, ranging from subclinical changes in function to symptomatic, life-threatening toxicity. Despite improvements in public health policies and substantial reductions in blood lead levels (BLLs) in adults, lead exposure remains an important health problem worldwide.

Postmarketing surveillance indicated increased reports of fever in children aged 5-8 years after vaccination with Fluvax compared to previous seasons. An antigenically equivalent 2010-11 Northern Hemisphere seasonal influenza TIV (Afluria) manufactured by CSL Biotherapies is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for persons aged &gt;or=6 months in the United States. Prescribing information for the 2010-11 Afluria formulation includes a warning that &quot;Administration of CSL&apos;s Southern Hemisphere influenza vaccine has been associated with increased postmarketing reports of fever and febrile seizures in children predominantly below the age of 5 years as compared to previous years&quot;. In the United States, annual influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons aged &gt;or=6 months. On August 5, 2010, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that the 2010-11 Afluria vaccine not be administered to children aged 6 months through 8 years. Other age-appropriate, licensed seasonal influenza vaccine formulations should be used for prevention of influenza in these children. If no other age-appropriate, licensed inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine is available for a child aged 5-8 years who has a medical condition that increases their risk for influenza complications, Afluria can be used; however, providers should discuss with the parents or caregivers the benefits and risks of Afluria use before administering this vaccine to children aged 5-8 years.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Guideline&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

Outbreak surveillance provides insights into the causes of foodborne illness, types of implicated foods, and settings of foodborne infections that can be used in food safety strategies to prevent and control foodborne disease. CDC collects data on foodborne disease outbreaks submitted from all states and territories. This report summarizes epidemiologic data for the 1,097 reported outbreaks occurring during 2007 (the most recent finalized data), which resulted in 21,244 cases of foodborne illness and 18 deaths. Among the 497 foodborne outbreaks with a laboratory-confirmed single etiologic agent reported, norovirus was the most common cause, followed by Salmonella. Among the 18 reported deaths, 11 were attributed to bacterial etiologies (five Salmonella, three Listeria monocytogenes, two Escherichia coli O157:H7, and one Clostridium botulinum), two to viral etiologies (norovirus), and one to a chemical (mushroom toxin). Four deaths occurred in outbreaks with unknown etiologies. Among the 235 outbreaks attributed to a single food commodity, poultry (17%), beef (16%), and leafy vegetables (14%) were most often the cause of illness. Public health, regulatory, and agricultural professionals can use this information when creating targeted control strategies and to support efforts to promote safe food preparation practices among food employees and the public.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

For the 10-year period from 2010 to 2019, the direct medical cost of chronic HCV infection is projected to exceed $10.7 billion, the societal cost of premature mortality attributed to HCV infection is projected to be $54.2 billion, and the cost of morbidity from disability associated with HCV infection is projected to be $21.3 billion. The Institute of Medicine recently recommended a comprehensive evaluation of the national hepatitis B and C surveillance system. Complete and timely surveillance data are essential for early identification and response to outbreaks and for implementation of evidence-based prevention strategies. To assess these attributes, CDC compared acute hepatitis C surveillance data reported in 2008 from the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) and the Emerging Infections Program (EIP), which conducts enhanced surveillance for acute hepatitis C in selected states. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that 26 (22%) of 120 cases reported from EIP-funded sites were missing from NNDSS. Data on race and major HCV risk factors were missing from 22% and 60% of reports in NNDSS, compared with 8% and 25% of reports in EIP, respectively. The mean duration between diagnosis and reporting of the case to the state health department was 30 days (range: 0-298 days) in NNDSS compared with 19 days (range: 0-350 days) in EIP sites. These findings underscore that enhanced surveillance for acute hepatitis C improves the completeness and timeliness of the data.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

To assess state-specific current cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use among adults, CDC analyzed data from the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated wide variation in self-reported cigarette smoking prevalence (range: 6.4% [U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI)] to 25.6% [Kentucky and West Virginia]) and smokeless tobacco use (range: 0.8% [USVI] to 9.1% [Wyoming]). For 15 of the states, Puerto Rico, and Guam, smoking prevalence was significantly higher among men than among women. The prevalence of smokeless tobacco use was higher among men than women in all states and territories. Smokeless tobacco use was highest among persons aged 18--24 years and those with a high school education or less. From 0.9% (Puerto Rico) to 13.7% (Wyoming) of current smokers reported also using smokeless tobacco. Clinicians should identify all tobacco use in their patients and advise those who use any tobacco product to quit. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends implementing this approach in combination with other measures, including raising excise taxes on tobacco and strengthening smoke-free policies to prevent tobacco-related deaths.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Since then, increased vaccination coverage has resulted in substantial reductions in morbidity and mortality, including a &gt;99% decline in polio incidence since 1988, with eradication on the horizon, and a 78% decline in measles-associated mortality from 2000 to 2008 With the introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine, HepB vaccine, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), and rotavirus vaccine into many countries&apos; routine vaccination schedules, further reductions in morbidity and mortality are expected. However, based on an annual global birth cohort of approximately 130 million, an estimated 23 million infants worldwide still do not receive the benefits of routine vaccination (i.e., 3 doses of DTP during the first year of life). The Global Immunization Vision and Strategy (GIVS), developed in 2005 by WHO and UNICEF, assists countries in strengthening immunization programs and vaccinating more persons. GIVS aims to achieve 90% national 3-dose DTP (DTP3) coverage by age 12 months in all countries, and 80% coverage in every district or equivalent administrative unit by 2010 (and to sustain these levels through 2015). This report summarizes global routine vaccination coverage during 2000--2009 and progress toward achieving GIVS goals.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

According to these recommendations, Tdap may be used to protect against pertussis even when &lt;10 years have passed since the most recent tetanus vaccination. For adults with infant contact and health-care personnel (HCP) with direct patient contact (two groups at increased risk for transmitting pertussis to those who are most susceptible), the single recommended Tdap dose is suggested to be administered as soon as 2 years after the last tetanus vaccination. To assess changes in tetanus vaccination coverage and the use of Tdap among U.S. adults, CDC analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for 1999 and 2008. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that self-reported tetanus vaccination coverage (vaccination within the preceding 10 years) was 60.4% in 1999 and 61.6% in 2008. Among adults aged 18-64 years, Tdap coverage was estimated to be 5.9% in 2008. Of those who reported receiving a tetanus vaccination during 2005-2008, 52.0% reported receiving Tdap. Tdap vaccination coverage among adults with infant contact was 5.0% and among HCP was 15.9%. Of those adults with infant contact and HCP who had received a tetanus vaccination during 2005-2008, 60.0% and 60.3% reported receiving Tdap, respectively. Health-care providers should recommend Tdap vaccination to adults aged 18-64 years whose most recent tetanus vaccination was &gt;/=10 years prior; the interval for HCP and persons with infant contact can be as short as 2 years.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

In August 2008, ACIP expanded its seasonal influenza vaccination recommendations to also include all children aged 5-18 years no later than the 2009-10 season. To update previous estimates of seasonal influenza vaccination coverage among children aged 6 months-18 years, CDC analyzed data from the eight immunization information system (IIS) sentinel sites for the 2009-10 influenza season. Vaccination coverage with influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine is not included in this report. Average (unweighted) vaccination coverage with &gt;/=1 seasonal influenza vaccine doses was 26.3%, a 5.5 percentage point increase from the 2008-09 season (20.8%). Increases varied by age group, ranging from almost no increase among children aged 6-23 months (55.2% during the 2008-09 season to 55.7% during the 2009-10 season) to notable increases among children aged 2--4 years (from 33.0% to 38.4%), 5-12 years (19.0% to 27.1%), and 13-18 years (10.9% to 15.3%). Full vaccination coverage was low during the 2009-10 season, ranging from 34.7% among children aged 6-23 months to 15.3% among children aged 13-18 years. These findings highlight the need to identify varied strategies and venues for delivering influenza vaccine to different age groups of children to increase vaccination coverage.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Recent developments in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), which is now capable of multi-analyte analysis in a high throughput capacity, has enabled newborn screening to include many more disorders detectable from a newborn blood spot. In 2006, to address the substantial variation that existed from state to state in the number of disorders included in newborn screening panels, the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG), under guidance from the Health Resources and Services Administration, recommended a uniform panel of 29 disorders, which was subsequently endorsed by the federal Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children. After 2006, most states began to expand their panels to include all 29 disorders; currently, 21 states and the District of Columbia have fully implemented the ACMG panel. To estimate the burden to state newborn screening programs resulting from this expansion, CDC used 2001-2006 data from those states with well-established MS/MS screening programs to estimate the number of children in the United States who would have been identified with disorders in 2006 if all 50 states and the District of Columbia had been using the ACMG panel. This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that, although such an expansion would have increased the number of children identified by only 32% (from 4,370 to 6,439), these children would have had many rare disorders that require local or regional capacity to deliver expertise in screening, diagnosis, and management. The findings underscore the need for public health and health-care delivery systems to build or expand the programs required to manage the rare disorders detected through expanded newborn screening, while also continuing programs to address more common disorders.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

This report describes the results of the 2007 NIS, which provided coverage estimates among children born during January 2004-July 2006. Healthy People 2010 established vaccination coverage targets of 90% for each of the vaccines included in the combined 4:3:1:3:3:1 vaccine series and a target of 80% for the combined series. Findings from the 2007 NIS indicated that &gt;/=90% coverage was achieved for most of the routinely recommended vaccines. The majority of parents were vaccinating their children, with less than 1% of children receiving no vaccines by age 19-35 months. The coverage level for the 4:3:1:3:3:1 series remained steady at 77.4%, compared with 76.9% in 2006. Among states and local areas, substantial variability continued, with estimated vaccination coverage ranging from 63.1% to 91.3%. Coverage remained high across all racial/ethnic groups and was not significantly different among racial/ethnic groups after adjusting for poverty status. However, for some vaccines, coverage remained lower among children living below the poverty level compared with children living at or above the poverty level. Maintaining high vaccination coverage and continued attention to reducing current poverty disparities is needed to limit the spread -preventable diseases and ensure that children are protected.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Health-care personnel and household contacts and caregivers of persons at high risk also should receive annual influenza vaccination, as should adults who want to reduce their risk for becoming ill with influenza or for transmitting it to others. Healthy People 2010 influenza vaccination coverage targets are 90% among all persons aged &gt;/=65 years and 60% among persons aged 18-64 years who have one or more high-risk conditions. Data from the 2006 and 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys indicate that influenza vaccination coverage among adults for the 2006-07 season increased significantly compared with the 2005-06 season, reaching 35.1% among persons aged 18-49 years with high-risk conditions, 42.0% among all persons aged 50-64 years, and 72.1% among all persons aged &gt;/=65 years. However, vaccination coverage remained well below Healthy People 2010 targets. Increasing influenza vaccination coverage among adults in the United States will require more cooperation among health-care providers, professional organizations, vaccine manufacturers, and public health departments to raise public awareness about influenza vaccination and to ensure continued distribution and administration of available vaccine throughout the vaccination season.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

A Healthy People 2010 objective is to reduce to 15% the proportion of adults who are obese. In 2005, no state met this target, and (based on self-reported height and weight) 23.9% of adults in the United States were obese. To update 2005 estimates of the prevalence of obesity in adults, CDC analyzed data from the 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. The results of that analysis indicated that 25.6% of respondents overall in 2007 were obese; the prevalence of obesity among adults remained above 15% in all states and was above 30% in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Enhanced collaborative efforts among national, state, and community groups are needed to establish, evaluate, and sustain effective programs and policies to reduce the prevalence of obesity in the United States.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

The purpose of the new system is to estimate the number of new HIV infections occurring each year in the United States. Initial results published recently for 2006 showed that 73% of new infections were in males, 45% were in blacks, and 53% were in men who have sex with men (MSM). To provide additional subpopulation estimates by age group, race/ethnicity, and HIV transmission category, CDC conducted a more detailed analysis of data from the new surveillance system. The results indicated that, in 2006, of new HIV infections among males, 72% were in MSM. Among MSM with new infections, 46% were white, 35% were black, and 19% were Hispanic. Among MSM aged 13-29 years, the number of new HIV infections in blacks (5,220) was 1.6 times the number in whites (3,330) and 2.3 times the number in Hispanics (2,300). Among females, the predominant HIV transmission category was high-risk heterosexual contact, which accounted for 80% of new infections. The HIV incidence rate for black females was 14.7 times the rate for white females, and the rate for Hispanic females was 3.8 times the rate for white females. MSM (of all races), blacks, and Hispanics were represented disproportionately in 2006 among those with new HIV infections. The new incidence data will help guide local, state, and national intervention measures tailored to those populations at greatest risk for HIV infection.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Chronic hepatitis B and C virus infections were added to the nationally notifiable diseases list in 2003. Approximately 3.2 million persons in the United States have chronic HCV infection. The most common risk factor for HCV infection is illicit drug use (specifically injection-drug use [IDU]), although approximately one third to one half of cases have no identified risk factor. Because approximately 80% of acute HCV infections are asymptomatic and no serologic markers for recent infection exist, distinguishing recent from distant infection based on serology alone is challenging and establishment of national HCV infection incidence is difficult. CDC provides funding to enhance surveillance for HCV infection and other forms of viral hepatitis in New York State (NYS) and seven other areas. One project of enhanced surveillance is to identify those HCV infections most likely to have been acquired recently. Since January 2006, NYSDOH has prioritized follow-up of positive laboratory markers for HCV infection among persons aged &lt;30 years because they are more likely to be newly infected than older persons. In February 2007, NYSDOH detected a cluster of HCV infections among persons in this age group by using the prioritized algorithm. This report describes the subsequent investigation by NYSDOH and the Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH), which identified a group of patients with histories of IDU who were linked through a single high school that all the patients had attended at some time. The findings demonstrate how targeted enhanced surveillance can effectively detect clusters and outbreaks and guide appropriate interventions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

On April 24, in response to those reports, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) established enhanced surveillance for 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus infections. The first cases were identified on April 28. This report summarizes laboratory-confirmed cases identified during April 24-July 25 and provides clinical and epidemiologic data for a subset of those cases. By July 25, a total of 1,557 laboratory-confirmed cases had been reported to CDPH. The overall attack rate was highest among children aged 5-14 years (147 per 100,000 population), which was 14 times higher than for adults aged &gt;or=60 years. A total of 205 (13%) patients were hospitalized, with the highest rate observed among children aged 0-4 years (25 per 100,000), followed by children aged 5-14 years (11 per 100,000). These findings affirm prevention strategies that target children and young adults, who are at a disproportionate risk for infection and hospitalization. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that these populations should be among the first groups targeted for vaccination with influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Furthermore, recent research has caused increased concerns about the toxicity of lead at low doses. Lead can cause acute and chronic adverse effects in multiple organ systems, ranging from subclinical changes in function to symptomatic, life-threatening intoxication. Since 1992, CDC&apos;s state-based Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) program has tracked laboratory-reported elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) in U.S. adults. The vast majority (95%) of reported elevated BLLs have been work related. One of the Healthy People 2010 national public health objectives is to reduce to zero the prevalence of BLLs =25 microg/dL among adults (objective 20-7). ABLES surveillance results through 2004 have been published previously. This report summarizes results for the period 2005--2007. An overall decline in national rates of elevated BLLs among state residents plus nonresidents from 14.0 in 1994 to 7.8 in 2007 has been observed. The national rate of state resident adults with BLLs =25 microg/dL was 7.2 per 100,000 employed adults in 2005 and 7.4 in 2006 and 2007. Industry subsectors with the highest numbers of lead-exposed workers were manufacturing of storage batteries, mining of lead and zinc ores, and painting and paper hanging. The most common nonoccupational exposures were shooting firearms; remodeling, renovating, or painting; retained bullets (gunshot wounds); and eating food containing lead. These findings indicate a need for increased preventive interventions to promote healthier workplaces and help move toward the Healthy People 2010 objective.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

During April-June 2009, CSTE sent a web-based questionnaire to the state epidemiologist in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The assessment inquired into workforce capacity and technological advancements to support surveillance. Measures of capacity included total number of epidemiologists and self-assessment of the state&apos;s ability to carry out four essential services of public health (ESPH). This report summarizes the results of the assessment, which determined that in 2009, 10% fewer epidemiologists were working in state health departments than in 2006. Compared with 2006, the percentage of state health departments with substantial-to-full (&gt;50%) epidemiology capacity decreased in three ESPH, including 1) capacities to monitor and detect health problems, 2) investigate them, and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of population-based services. The percentage of departments with substantial-to-full epidemiology capacity for bioterrorism/emergency response decreased slightly, from 76% in 2006 to 73% in 2009. More than 30% of states reported minimal-to-no (&lt;25%) capacity to evaluate and conduct research and for five of nine epidemiology program areas, including environmental health, injury, occupational health, oral health, and substance abuse. Working together, federal, state, and local agencies should develop a strategy to address downward trends and major gaps in epidemiology capacity.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

In October, two U.S. states (Arizona and New Mexico) observed a disproportionate number of deaths related to H1N1 among American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). These observations, plus incomplete reporting of race/ethnicity at the national level, led to formation of a multidisciplinary workgroup comprised of representatives from 12 state health departments, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, tribal epidemiology centers, the Indian Health Service, and CDC. The workgroup assessed the burden of H1N1 influenza deaths in the AI/AN population by compiling surveillance data from the states and comparing death rates. The results indicated that, during April 15-November 13, AI/ANs in the 12 participating states had an H1N1 mortality rate four times higher than persons in all other racial/ethnic populations combined. Reasons for this disparity in death rates are unknown and need further investigation; however, they might include a high prevalence of chronic health conditions (e.g., diabetes and asthma) among AI/ANs that predisposes them to influenza complications, poverty (e.g., poor living conditions), and delayed access to care. Efforts are needed to increase awareness among AI/ANs and their health-care providers of the potential severity of influenza and current recommendations regarding the timely use of antiviral medications. Efforts to promote the use of 2009 H1N1 influenza monovalent vaccine in AI/AN populations should be expanded.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

The pandemic virus is antigenically distinct from seasonal influenza A (H1N1) viruses targeted by seasonal influenza vaccines. Results from recent serologic studies have suggested that seasonal influenza vaccines are unlikely to provide substantial cross-protection against infection with the pandemic H1N1 virus. However, how serologic results correlate with the complex immune responses that confer clinical protection remains uncertain. To complement the serologic studies and evaluate the effectiveness of 2008-09 trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine against laboratory-confirmed pandemic influenza A (H1N1) illness, CDC used available data to conduct a case-cohort analysis. The analysis used surveillance reports from eight states of persons aged &gt;18 years with confirmed pandemic H1N1 illness during May-June 2009. Influenza vaccination coverage estimates for these states during the 2008-09 influenza season (September 2008-February 2009) were estimated for the population cohort by using preliminary Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) data. The overall vaccine effectiveness (VE) against pandemic virus illness after adjustment for age group and presence of chronic medical conditions that increase the risk for complications from influenza was -10% (95% confidence interval [CI] = -43%-15%). Current evidence from this study and other studies does not suggest that seasonal influenza vaccination either decreases of increases the risk for acquiring pandemic H1N1 illness. To prevent seasonal and pandemic influenza, CDC recommends vaccination with seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Many children meet nutritional needs through school food programs, and schools provide child care both during and after school. Moreover, schools rely on student attendance to meet federal and state funding and educational requirements. To assess the impact of school closings on families, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) conducted a telephone survey of randomly sampled households whose children attended schools in two adjacent school districts that had been closed because of high absenteeism during an outbreak of seasonal influenza in the community in February 2008. This report summarizes the results of that survey, which indicated that 97.0% of respondents agreed with the decision to close schools. In 29.1% of households, an adult had to miss work to provide child care, and in 15.7% of households, at least one adult lost pay because of missed work. Although the schools closed because of high absenteeism affecting school operations and funding, this was not fully communicated to families; 64.4% of respondents believed the closures would &quot;keep people from getting ill,&quot; and 90.8% thought it was &quot;extremely or very important&quot; to disinfect schools while closed to reduce community spread of influenza. School districts and health departments should provide families with specific information about the reason for school closings and provide recommendations for reducing the spread of influenza while students are dismissed from school.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Since 2004, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended seasonal influenza vaccination for all children aged 6-23 months. Full vaccination for these children requires receipt of 2 doses in the current influenza season if they have not been vaccinated previously or received a single dose during the preceding season. To assess influenza vaccination coverage among children aged 6-23 months during September-December of the 2007-08 influenza season, CDC analyzed data from the 2008 National Immunization Survey (NIS). The results of those analyses indicated that, during the 4 months, 40.7% of children aged 6-23 months received &gt;or=1 doses of influenza vaccine, and 23.4% were fully vaccinated. Substantial variability was observed among the 50 states and participating local areas; the percentage of children with full vaccination ranged from 6.4% to 40.9% among states and local areas. Nationally, the percentage of children aged 6-23 months receiving &gt;or=1 doses of influenza vaccine increased from 31.8% in 2006-07 to 40.7% in 2007-08, and the percentage with full vaccination increased from 21.3% to 23.4%; however, influenza vaccination coverage among children remains low. Further study is needed to identify barriers to influenza vaccination and to implement strategies that can increase vaccination coverage with emphasis on attaining full vaccination in this population at greater risk for complications from influenza.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Annual influenza vaccination was first recommended for children aged 6-23 months in 2004 and for children aged 24-59 months in 2006. In August 2008, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) expanded its recommendations to include all children aged 5-18 years, beginning with the 2008-09 influenza season. Among children aged 6 months--8 years, previously unvaccinated children and children who received only 1 vaccine dose for the first time in the preceding influenza season are recommended to receive 2 influenza vaccine doses. Children aged 9-18 years are recommended to receive 1 vaccine dose. To update previous estimates by assessing influenza vaccination coverage among children aged 6 months--18 years during the 2008-09 season, CDC averaged data from the eight immunization information system (IIS) sentinel sites. The results indicated that average (unweighted) vaccination coverage with &gt;or=1 influenza vaccine doses decreased with increasing age from 47.8% for children aged 6-23 months to 9.1% for those aged 13-18 years. Among sites, average coverage with &gt;or=1 doses among children aged 6--23 months increased from 40.8% during the 2007-08 influenza season to 47.8% during the 2008-09 season; however, coverage levels remained suboptimal. Vaccination against both seasonal influenza and 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) are recommended for children in 2009; these findings highlight the need to identify opportunities for and barriers to influenza vaccination of children.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

In 2008, ACIP expanded the recommendations to include all children aged 5--18 years, beginning with the 2008--09 season, if feasible, but no later than the 2009--10 season. This expansion added 26 million children and adolescents to groups recommended for routine influenza vaccination. To assess vaccination uptake among children and adults during the 2008-09 influenza season, CDC analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 19 states, which represent 43% of the U.S. population. This report summarizes the results of the analysis, which indicated that reported influenza vaccination coverage of &gt;or=1 doses was 40.9% for ages 6-23 months, 32.0% for 2-4 years, and 20.8% for 5-17 years. Among adults, reported coverage was 32.1% for persons aged 18--49 years with high-risk conditions, 42.3% for persons 50--64 years, and 67.2% for persons &gt;or=65 years. These results are consistent with previous studies that have found no significant increases in vaccination coverage for any of these age groups over previous seasons. These 2008--09 season estimates provide a baseline for assessing implementation of the 2008 recommendation for school-aged children. Attaining higher coverage rates likely will require additional vaccination programs in schools and expanded vaccination services in provider offices.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Before release of the first batches of the vaccine on September 30, intent to receive the vaccine was estimated at 50% among selected U.S. adult populations and as high as 70% for children. However, studies in previous years of seasonal influenza vaccination in children, who might require 2 doses based on age and prior vaccination status, have indicated poor compliance with recommendations. To measure intent to receive H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines among children and adults, during August 28-29, 2009, the North Carolina Center for Public Health Preparedness, with state and local public health officials, conducted a community assessment in two counties. This report summarizes the results of that assessment, which determined that 64% of adults reported intent to receive H1N1 vaccine. In addition, 65% of parents reported intent to have all their children (aged 6 months to &lt;18 years) vaccinated with H1N1 vaccine, and 51% said they would have all their children vaccinated with both H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines. The most commonly reported reasons for not intending to receive H1N1 vaccine were belief in a low likelihood of infection (18%) and concern over vaccine side effects (14%); 85% of participants said they received their H1N1 information from television. To increase coverage with H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines, public health departments should use television to focus public health messages on the risks for infection and severe illness and the safety profile of the vaccine.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Maintaining the number of such facilities at a minimum and at an appropriate biosafety standard (laboratory containment) reduces the risk for a facility-associated reintroduction of WPV. In May 1999, the World Health Assembly (WHA) urged all member states to begin the process leading to laboratory containment of WPV. The World Health Organization (WHO) global action plan for laboratory containment of WPV issued in 1999 indicated a staged approach that begins with a national survey of all biomedical facilities (Phase I); the purpose of the survey is to alert institutions and facilities to the need for containment, encourage reduction of WPV materials, and develop a national inventory of facilities holding such materials. The survey and inventory provide a facility database for use in all subsequent steps toward global poliovirus containment. In May 2008, WHA urged all WHO member states to complete Phase I activities outlined in the WHO Global Action Plan for Laboratory Containment of Wild Polioviruses. In the WHO Western Pacific Region (WPR), Phase I surveys of 77,260 laboratories in the 37 countries and areas of WPR were conducted during 1999--2008. A total of 45 laboratories were identified as holding WPV materials in 2008. This report describes completion of Phase I containment activities by WPR countries, and updates a previous report on Phase I completion in the European Region and global progress.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

ACIP also recommends that adolescents receive recommended vaccinations that were missed during childhood: measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR; 2 doses); hepatitis B vaccine (HepB; 3 doses); and varicella vaccine (VAR; 2 doses). Since 2006, CDC has conducted the National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen) to estimate vaccination coverage from a national sample of adolescents aged 13-17 years. This report summarizes results from the 2008 NIS-Teen and, for the first time, includes estimates for each of the 50 states and selected local areas. Nationally, vaccination coverage for the three most recently recommended adolescent vaccinations and one childhood vaccination increased from 2007 to 2008: MCV4 (from 32.4% to 41.8%), Tdap (from 30.4% to 40.8%), &gt;/=1 dose of HPV4 (from 25.1% to 37.2%), and &gt;/=2 doses of VAR among those without disease history (from 18.8% to 34.1%). However, substantial variability in vaccination coverage was observed in 2008 among state and local areas and by race/ethnicity and poverty status. For the first time, the Healthy People 2010 target of 90% coverage among adolescents aged 13-15 years was met for MMR and HepB. Public health agencies should continue annual monitoring of adolescent vaccination coverage levels to identify trends and differences by geographic area, race/ethnicity, and poverty status.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Healthy People 2010 established vaccination coverage targets of 90% for individual vaccines in the 4:3:1:3:3:1 vaccine series and 80% for the series. This report describes the 2008 NIS coverage estimates for this series and individual vaccines, 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7), &gt;or=2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine (HepA), and hepatitis B vaccination received in the first 3 days of life (HepB birth dose) among children born during January 2005-June 2007.

Coverage with &gt;or=3 doses of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (Hib) decreased from 2007, likely because of the shortage of Hib vaccine and the recommendation to defer the routine Hib vaccine booster dose administered at age 12-15 months. Substantial variability was observed in individual and series vaccination coverage among states/local areas. Among racial/ethnic groups, coverage varied little and, after adjusting for poverty, coverage estimates were not significantly lower for any groups compared with whites. However, children living below poverty had lower coverage than children living at or above poverty for most vaccines. Sustaining high coverage levels and using effective methods of reducing disparities across states/local areas and income groups remains a priority to fully protect children and limit the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Norovirus outbreaks affect persons of all ages and occur in a wide variety of settings (e.g., nursing homes, hospitals, restaurants, communities, schools, day care centers, military barracks, and cruise ships). During fall 2008, three norovirus outbreaks occurring on college campuses in California, Michigan, and Wisconsin were reported to CDC. Public health investigations led by the respective state and local health departments were conducted to characterize the extent of the outbreaks and implement appropriate control measures. This report summarizes the investigations of these outbreaks, which resulted in a total of approximately 1,000 cases of reported illness, including at least 10 hospitalizations, and prompted closure of one of the three campuses. Median duration of the three outbreaks was 19 days (range: 16-20 days), and the attack rates ranged from 1.5% to 12.9%. Because of the potential for widespread infection and rapid transmission on college campuses, efforts to prevent and control norovirus outbreaks in these settings should focus on promoting hand hygiene, environmental disinfection, and exclusion of ill food workers.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Staff members from Greenwich Hospital and the Connecticut Department of Public Health collected data on symptoms for 63 patients and submitted nasopharyngeal washings for testing using a rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) for influenza A and B and real-time reverse transcription--polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assay, thereby affording an opportunity to assess the field performance of the RIDT. A total of 49 patients had infections with pandemic influenza A (H1N1) confirmed by rRT-PCR. This report summarizes the findings from this performance assessment, which indicated that, compared with rRT-PCR, the sensitivity of the RIDT for detecting infection in patients with 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) was 47%, and the specificity was 86%. Sensitivity and specificity did not vary substantially by the presence or absence of CDC-defined influenza-like illness (ILI) or by time from symptom onset to specimen acquisition. In this group of patients, although positive RIDT results performed well in predicting confirmed infection with pandemic H1N1 virus (positive predictive value: 92%), negative tests did not accurately predict the absence of infection (negative predictive value: 32%). These results affirm recent CDC recommendations against using negative RIDT results for management of patients with possible 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infection.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) of CDC&apos;s Emerging Infections Program collects data from 10 U.S. states on diseases caused by enteric pathogens transmitted commonly through food. FoodNet is an active, population-based surveillance system for these laboratory-confirmed infections. This report describes preliminary surveillance data for 2008 and trends since 1996. In 2008, the estimated incidence of infections caused by Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, Listeria, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia did not change significantly when compared with the preceding 3 years. For most infections, incidence was highest among children aged &lt;4 years, whereas the percentage of persons hospitalized and the case fatality rate were highest among persons aged &gt;/=50 years. None of the Healthy People 2010 targets for reduction of foodborne pathogens (objective 10-1) were reached in 2008. The lack of recent progress points to gaps in the current food safety system and the need to continue to develop and evaluate food safety practices as food moves from the farm to the table.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Nine studies have reported that laws making indoor workplaces and public places smoke-free were associated with rapid, sizeable reductions in hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, most studies examined hospitalizations for 1 year or less after laws were implemented; thus, whether the observed effect was sustained over time was unknown. The Pueblo Heart Study examined the impact of a municipal smoke-free ordinance in the city of Pueblo, Colorado, that took effect on July 1, 2003. The rate of AMI hospitalizations for city residents decreased 27%, from 257 per 100,000 person-years during the 18 months before the ordinance&apos;s implementation to 187 during the 18 months after it (the Phase I post-implementation period). This report extends that analysis for an additional 18 months through June 30, 2006 (the Phase II post-implementation period). The rate of AMI hospitalizations among city residents continued to decrease to 152 per 100,000 person-years, a decline of 19% and 41% from the Phase I post-implementation and pre-implementation period, respectively. No significant changes were observed in two comparison areas. These findings suggest that smoke-free policies can result in reductions in AMI hospitalizations that are sustained over a 3-year period and that these policies are important in preventing morbidity and mortality associated with heart disease. This effect likely is mediated through reduced SHS exposure among nonsmokers and reduced smoking, with the former making the larger contribution.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

In the United States, before introduction of a live, oral pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5) in 2006, rotavirus caused an estimated 20 to 60 deaths, 55,000 to 70,000 hospitalizations, 205,000 to 272,000 emergency department visits, and 410,000 outpatient visits annually. Before 2000, rotavirus had a predictable winter-spring seasonality and geographic pattern in the United States, with activity beginning in the West census region during December-January, extending across the country, and ending in the Northeast region during May-June. A similar but less pronounced trend was observed during 2000-2006. To characterize trends and compare the 2007-08 and 2008-09 rotavirus seasons with the prevaccine period 2000-2006, CDC analyzed data from the National Respiratory and Enteric Viruses Surveillance System (NREVSS). The results indicated that the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons were both shorter and later than the median during 2000-2006. The 2008-09 season had 15% more positive rotavirus test results than the 2007-08 season, but the number of positive test results during each season was substantially lower than the median observed during 2000-2006. Continued surveillance is needed to characterize the effect of routine childhood rotavirus vaccination on rotavirus disease in U.S. children.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparative Study&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

During 2007, an estimated 19.8% of adults in the United States were current smokers. To update 2006 state-specific estimates of cigarette smoking, CDC analyzed data from the 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey and examined trends in cigarette smoking from 1998-2007. Results of these analyses indicated substantial variation in current cigarette smoking during 2007 (range: 8.7%-31.1%) among the 50 states, the District of Columbia (DC), Guam, Puerto Rico (PR), and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). Trend analyses of 1998-2007 data indicated that smoking prevalence decreased in 44 states, DC, and PR, and six states had no substantial changes in prevalence after controlling for age, sex, and race/ethnicity. However, only Utah and USVI met the Healthy People 2010 target for reducing adult smoking prevalence to 12% (objective 27-1a). The Institute of Medicine (IOM) calls for full implementation of comprehensive, evidence-based tobacco control programs at CDC-recommended funding levels to achieve substantial reductions in tobacco use in all states and areas.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Smoke-free policies, including not allowing smoking anywhere inside the home (i.e., having a smoke-free home rule), are the best way to provide protection from exposure to SHS. To assess SHS exposure in homes and indoor workplaces and the prevalence of smoke-free home rules, CDC analyzed 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 11 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). This report summarizes the results, which showed wide variation among states in exposure to SHS in homes (from 3.2% [Arizona] to 10.6% [West Virginia]) and indoor workplaces (from 6.0% [Tennessee] to 17.3% [USVI]). The majority of persons surveyed in the 11 states and USVI reported having smoke-free home rules (from 68.8% [West Virginia] to 85.7% [USVI]). This report also provides the 2008 results for CDC&apos;s annual BRFSS-based state-specific estimates of current smoking in 50 states, the District of Columbia (DC), and three territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, and USVI). As in previous years, the results showed substantial variation in self-reported cigarette smoking prevalence (range: 6.5%--27.4%; median for 50 states and DC = 18.4%).

Each jurisdictions&apos; system consists of a base system and modules that can be used for specific surveillance purposes. States also use NEDSS-like or other electronic systems to conduct surveillance on specific diseases or conditions. Until recently, no assessment had been done to describe the status and characteristics of state electronic disease surveillance systems. The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) conducted such an assessment in August 2007 in all 50 states. This report presents the results of that assessment, which indicated that, in 2007, state electronic disease surveillance systems varied widely and were in various stages of implementation. Each state had either custom-built systems or purchased systems that were customizable, with associated disease modules to meet its own surveillance needs. As interoperability becomes the standard for electronic data sharing, more states will face customization costs and the need to hire more technical specialists who can manage health information and exchange. Further collaboration and support from surveillance and health-care IT stakeholders with public health will be needed to improve the efficacy and quality of electronic disease surveillance systems.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Because of this increased risk, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has prioritized influenza prevention and treatment for children aged &lt;5 years and for those with certain chronic medical and immunosuppressive conditions. CDC monitors child influenza deaths through its influenza-associated pediatric mortality reporting system. As of August 8, 2009, CDC had received reports of 477 deaths associated with 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) in the United States, including 36 deaths among children aged &lt;18 years. To characterize these cases, CDC analyzed data from April to August 2009. The results of that analysis indicated that, of 36 children who died, seven (19%) were aged &lt;5 years, and 24 (67%) had one or more of the high-risk medical conditions. Twenty-two (92%) of the 24 children with high-risk medical conditions had neurodevelopmental conditions. Among 23 children with culture or pathology results reported, laboratory-confirmed bacterial coinfections were identified in 10 (43%), including all six children who 1) were aged &gt;or=5 years, 2) had no recognized high-risk condition, and 3) had culture or pathology results reported. Early diagnosis of influenza can enable prompt initiation of antiviral therapy for children who are at greater risk or severely ill. Clinicians also should be aware of the potential for severe bacterial coinfections among children diagnosed with influenza and treat accordingly. All children aged &gt;or=6 months and caregivers of children aged &lt;6 months should receive influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine when available.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

Subsequently, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) reduced the global incidence of polio associated with wild polioviruses (WPVs) from an estimated 350,000 cases in 125 countries in 1988 to 1,651 reported cases in 2008 and reduced the number of countries that have never interrupted WPV transmission to four (Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan). Under current WHO plans, when the goal of eradicating all WPV transmission is attained, oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) use worldwide eventually will be discontinued. However, because vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) can produce polio outbreaks in areas with low rates of Sabin OPV coverage and can replicate for years in immunodeficient persons, enhanced strategies are needed to limit emergence of VDPVs. This report updates previous summaries and describes VDPVs detected worldwide during January 2008-June 2009. During this period, 1) two new outbreaks of circulating VDPVs (cVDPVs) (accounting for 4-20 cases) were identified in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia; 2) a previously identified outbreak in Nigeria ultimately resulted in a cumulative total of 292 cases; 3) two newly identified paralyzed immunodeficient persons in Argentina and the United States were found to excrete VDPVs; and 4) isolated VDPVs were found among persons and environmental samples in 11 countries. All countries need to maintain 1) high rates of poliovirus vaccination coverage to prevent VDPV spread and 2) sensitive poliovirus surveillance to detect VDPVs.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

By August, the cumulative number of infections in the United States was estimated to be at least 1 million. This report provides an overview of influenza activity during April-August 2009 and recommendations for the upcoming 2009-10 influenza season. Pandemic H1N1 influenza activity peaked in the United States during May and June and declined during July and early August. However, levels of influenza activity remained above normal for summer months, and focal outbreaks were reported throughout the summer. During the last 2 weeks of August, pandemic H1N1 influenza activity increased in certain areas of the United States. Clinicians and public health officials should be aware that these recent increases might signal an early start to the 2009-10 influenza season, with pandemic H1N1 influenza viruses predominating at least initially.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States&#xD;MMWR.

MCV4 is licensed as a single dose. Because of the high risk for meningococcal disease among certain groups and limited data on duration of protection, at its June 2009 meeting ACIP recommended that persons previously vaccinated with either MCV4 or MPSV4 (Menomune, Sanofi Pasteur) who are at prolonged increased risk for meningococcal disease should be revaccinated with MCV4. Persons who previously were vaccinated at age &gt;or=7 years and are at prolonged increased risk should be revaccinated 5 years after their previous meningococcal vaccine, and persons who previously were vaccinated at ages 2-6 years and are at prolonged increased risk should be revaccinated 3 years after their previous meningococcal vaccine. Persons at prolonged increased risk for meningococcal disease include 1) persons with increased susceptibility such as persistent complement component deficiencies (e.g., C3, properdin, Factor D, and late complement component deficiencies), 2) persons with anatomic or functional asplenia, and 3) persons who have prolonged exposure (e.g., microbiologists routinely working with Neisseria meningitidis, or travelers to or residents of countries where meningococcal disease is hyperendemic or epidemic). This report provides the rationale for the new recommendation and updates and replaces previous recommendations for revaccination with MCV4.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guideline&#xD;United States&#xD;MMWR.

This mandate established the United States&apos; first population-based registry to track the level of blood sugar control in people with diabetes. But mandatory A1C reporting has provoked debate regarding the role of public health agencies in the control of noncommunicable diseases and, more specifically, both privacy and the doctor-patient relationship. METHODS: This article reviews the rationale for adopting the rule requiring the reporting of A1C test results, experience with its implementation, and criticisms raised in the context of the history of public health practice. FINDINGS: For many decades, public health agencies have used identifiable information collected through mandatory laboratory reporting to monitor the population&apos;s health and develop programs for the control of communicable and noncommunicable diseases. The registry program sends quarterly patient rosters stratified by A1C level to more than one thousand medical providers, and it also sends letters, on the provider&apos;s letterhead whenever possible, to patients at risk of diabetes complications (A1C level &gt;9 percent), advising medical follow-up. The activities of the registry program are similar to those of programs for other reportable conditions and constitute a joint effort between a governmental public health agency and medical providers to improve patients&apos; health outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Mandatory reporting has proven successful in helping combat other major epidemics. New York City&apos;s A1C Registry activities combine both traditional and novel public health approaches to reduce the burden of an epidemic chronic disease, diabetes. Despite criticism that mandatory reporting compromises individuals&apos; right to privacy without clear benefit, the early feedback has been positive and suggests that the benefits will outweigh the potential harms. Further evaluation will provide additional information that other local health jurisdictions may use in designing their strategies to address chronic disease.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chamany, Shadi&#xD;Silver, Lynn D&#xD;Bassett, Mary T&#xD;Driver, Cynthia R&#xD;Berger, Diana K&#xD;Neuhaus, Charlotte E&#xD;Kumar, Namrata&#xD;Frieden, Thomas R&#xD;United States&#xD;The Milbank quarterly&#xD;Milbank Q. 2009 Sep;87(3):547-70.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organization and structure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MILQ568 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1468-0009.2009.00568.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>188</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">188</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chan, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feldman, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manning, W.

Two questions in particular were addressed: (1) Do large consortia have a greater collective impact on their members? (2) Does a consortium&apos;s economic environment determine the degree of collective impact on members? DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SETTING: Based on the hospital survey conducted during February 1992 by the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital-Based Rural Health Care project of rural hospital consortia. The survey data were augmented with data from Medicare Cost Reports (1985-1991), AHA Annual Surveys (1985-1991), and other secondary data. STUDY DESIGN: Dependent variables were total operating profit, cost per adjusted admission, and revenue per adjusted admission. Control variables included degree of group formalization, degree of inequality of resources among members (group asymmetry), affiliation with other consortium group(s), individual economic environment, common hospital characteristics (bed size, ownership type, system affiliation, case mix, etc.), year (1985-1991), and census region dummies. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: All dependent variables have a curvilinear association with group size. The optimum group size is somewhere in the neighborhood of 45. This reveals the benefits of collective action (i.e., scale economies and/or synergy effects) and the issue of complexity as group size increases. Across analyses, no strong evidence exists of group economic environment impacts, and the environmental influences come mainly from the local economy rather than from the group economy. CONCLUSION: There may be some success stories of collaboration among hospitals in consortia, and consortium effects vary across different collaborations. RELEVANCE/IMPACT: When studying consortia, it makes sense to develop a typology of groups based on some performance indicators. The results of this study imply that government, rural communities, and consortium staff and steering committees should forge the consortium concept by expanding membership in order to gain greater financial benefits for individual hospitals.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chan, B&#xD;Feldman, R&#xD;Manning, W G&#xD;United states&#xD;Health services research&#xD;Health Serv Res. 1999 Apr;34(1 Pt 1):9-31.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>189</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">189</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chandler, T.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qureshi, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gebbie, K.

This created a quasi market in which the state acted as the buyer and the local health departments as the sellers of public health services. In its first year of operation, the program more effectively defined public health objectives to its funders and constituencies, linked its fiscal accountability more closely to attainment, and documented performance more carefully. In the next two years, the program will focus on improving the quality of objectives and training all parties in negotiation skills. The 2003-6 contract cycle will concentrate on multiyear and multiprogram objectives and a Web-based contract management system. This new contract system will not, however, be established permanently until its long-range impact on funding levels and population health status is known.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chapin, John&#xD;Fetter, Bruce&#xD;United States&#xD;The Milbank quarterly&#xD;Milbank Q. 2002;80(1):97-124.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>191</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">191</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cheadle, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hsu, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schwartz, P.

Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Office of the Surgeon General, and other authorities have called for public health to be an &quot;inter-sector&quot; enterprise, few models have surfaced that feature local health departments as a key part of the collaborative model for effecting community-level change. This paper presents evaluation findings and lessons learned from the Partnership for the Public&apos;s Health (PPH), a comprehensive community initiative that featured a central role for local health departments with their community partners. Funded by The California Endowment, PPH provided technical and financial resources to 39 community partnerships in 14 local health department jurisdictions in California to promote community and health department capacity building and community-level policy and systems change designed to produce long-term improvements in population health. The evaluation used multiple data sources to create progress ratings for each partnership in five goal areas related to capacity building, community health improvement programs, and policy and systems change. Overall results were generally positive; in particular, of the 37 partnerships funded continuously throughout the 5 years of the initiative, between 25% and 40% were able to make a high level of progress in each of the Initiative&apos;s five goal areas. Factors associated with partnership success were also identified by local evaluators. These results showed that health departments able to work effectively with community groups had strong, committed leaders who used creative financing mechanisms, inclusive planning processes, organizational changes, and open communication to promote collaboration with the communities they served.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cheadle, Allen&#xD;Hsu, Clarissa&#xD;Schwartz, Pamela M&#xD;Pearson, David&#xD;Greenwald, Howard P&#xD;Beery, William L&#xD;Flores, George&#xD;Casey, Maria Campbell&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine&#xD;J Urban Health. 2008 Mar;85(2):162-77.

It is therefore critical that we carefully evaluate initiatives targeting the community environment to expand the evidence base for environmental interventions. We describe the approaches used to measure the extent and impact of environmental change in 3 community-level obesity-prevention initiatives in California. We focus on measuring changes in the community environment and assessing the impact of those changes on residents most directly exposed to the interventions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cheadle, Allen&#xD;Samuels, Sarah E&#xD;Rauzon, Suzanne&#xD;Yoshida, Sallie C&#xD;Schwartz, Pamela M&#xD;Boyle, Maria&#xD;Beery, William L&#xD;Craypo, Lisa&#xD;Solomon, Loel&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 Nov;100(11):2129-36.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, data, and methods </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">100/11/2129 [pii]&#xD;10.2105/AJPH.2010.300002 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>192</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">192</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chen, C.

Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted by examining all community organizations involved in the Taiwan national healthy community development project. Sample: Of 213 administrators contacted, 195 (a return rate of 91.6%) completed a self-administered questionnaire between October and November 2003. The research instrument was self-developed and based on the Donabedian model. It examined the capacity of the community organizations and their performance in developing a healthy community. Results: The average overall healthy community development performance score was 5.0 on a 7-point semantic differential scale, with the structure variable rated as the lowest among the 3 subscales. Community organization capacities in the areas of funding, resources committed, citizen participation, and certain aspects of organizational leadership were found to be significantly related to healthy community development performance. Each of the regression models showed a different set of capacities for the community organization domains and explained between 25% and 33% of the variance in performance. Conclusions: The study validates the theoretical relationships among the concepts identified in the Donabedian model. Nursing interventions tailored to enhance resident citizen participation in order to promote community coalitions are strongly supported.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 177SY&#xD;Times Cited: 0&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 31&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *DEP HLTH EX YUAN, 1999, 3 YEAR HLTH PROM PRO&#xD;     *DEP HLTH EX YUAN, 2001, TAIW PUB HLTH REP RO&#xD;     *I MED, 1988, FUT PUB HLTH&#xD;     *WHO, 1986, OTT CHART HLTH PROM&#xD;     *WHO, 1992, 20 STEPS DEV HLTH CI&#xD;     *WHO, 1998, HLTH PROM MIL ROAD G&#xD;     *WHO, 2005, UN ENV PROGR WORLD H&#xD;     ALLENDER JA, 2001, COMMUNITY HLTH NURSI&#xD;     BEST M, 2004, QUAL SAF HEALTH CARE, V13, P472, DOI&#xD;     10.1136/qshc.2004.012591&#xD;     BOUMANS N, 2005, SCAND J CARING SCI, V19, P240&#xD;     CHEN CJ, 2003, J NURING, V50, P62&#xD;     DENNIS LM, 2004, HLTH CARE MANAGER, V23, P145&#xD;     DONABEDIAN A, 1980, EXPLORATIONS QUALITY&#xD;     FLYNN BC, 1991, HEALTH EDUC QUART, V18, P331&#xD;     FLYNN BC, 1997, ADV PRACT NURS Q, V2, P1&#xD;     FLYNN BC, 2004, COMMUNITY PUBLIC HLT, P396&#xD;     HANCOCK T, 1993, J PUBLIC HLTH POLICY, V14, P5&#xD;     HANDLER A, 2001, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P1235&#xD;     HICKEY ML, 1992, NURS RES, V41, P347&#xD;     HOENIG H, 1999, J REHABIL RES DEV, V36, P19&#xD;     KENNEDY VC, 2003, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V9, P183&#xD;     KNOWLES ES, 1997, J RES PERS, V31, P293&#xD;     LIU CH, 1997, J CHENG KUNG U, V32, P129&#xD;     MAYS GP, 2004, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V10, P193&#xD;     MURASHIMA S, 1999, PUBLIC HEALTH NURS, V16, P133&#xD;     NORRIS T, 2000, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V115, P118&#xD;     REINHARD SC, 1996, NURS OUTLOOK, V44, P223&#xD;     SCUTCHFIELD FD, 2004, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V10, P204&#xD;     VANDOREN ES, 2004, CASE MANAGEMENT, V9, P21&#xD;     VANDRIEL ML, 2005, J EVAL CLIN PRACT, V11, P415&#xD;     WOLFF T, 2001, AM J COMMUN PSYCHOL, V29, P165&#xD;Chen, Ching-Min Hong, Mei-Chu Hsu, Yu-Hsien</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000247174000007</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>193</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">193</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chen, L.

METHODS: We developed and tested a model to assess likelihood to adopt genomic competencies. Data from 1607 health educators nationwide were collected through a Web-based survey. The model was tested through structural equation modeling. RESULTS: Although participants in our study were not very likely to adopt genomic competencies into their practice, the data supported the proposed model. Awareness, attitudes, and self-efficacy significantly affected health educators&apos; likelihood to incorporate genomic competencies. The model explained 60.3% of the variance in likelihood to incorporate genomic competencies. Participants&apos; perceived compatibility between public health genomics and their professional and personal roles, their perceptions of genomics as complex, and the communication channels used to learn about public health genomics significantly related to genomic knowledge and attitudes. CONCLUSIONS: Because US health educators in our sample do not appear ready for their professional role in genomics, future research and public health work-force training are needed.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure, Infrastructure&#xD;Workforce</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>194</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">194</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chenoweth, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Estes, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lee, C.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chenoweth &amp; Associates Inc, New Bern, NC, USA. hmacheno@coastalnet.com</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The economic cost of environmental factors among North Carolina children living in substandard housing</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">S666-74</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99 Suppl 3</style></volume><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009/11/06</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costs and Cost Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental Exposure/adverse effects/ economics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Care Costs/ trends</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status Disparities</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Housing/ standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insurance Claim Review</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">North Carolina</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poverty</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Assessment</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1541-0048 (Electronic)&#xD;1541-0048 (Linking)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19890173</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OBJECTIVES: We quantified the economic cost of selected environmental factors among North Carolina children living in substandard housing. METHODS: We gathered data on direct medical care costs for specific childhood medical conditions associated with environmental factors commonly found in substandard housing. Medical claims data for 2006 and 2007 were obtained from BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Indirect costs were based in part on nonmedical data obtained from several previous studies. RESULTS: Total (direct and indirect) costs for the conditions assessed exceeded $92 million in 2006 and $108 million in 2007. Neurobehavioral conditions contributed to more than 52% of all costs, followed by lead poisoning (20%) and respiratory conditions (12%). Neurobehavioral conditions were the largest contributor to direct medical costs (44%), followed by respiratory conditions (38%) and accidental burns and falls (10%). CONCLUSIONS: Direct and indirect costs associated with environmental factors appear to be increasing at about twice the rate of medical inflation. More aggressive policies and funding are needed to reduce the substantial financial impact of childhood illnesses associated with substandard housing in North Carolina.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chenoweth, David&#xD;Estes, Chris&#xD;Lee, Christopher&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Nov;99 Suppl 3:S666-74.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> Technology, data, and methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99/S3/S666 [pii]&#xD;10.2105/AJPH.2008.141671 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>195</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">195</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chesson, H.

We gathered data on presence of IDD, health status, age at baseline, gender, length of Medicaid enrollment, medical care visits, household Medicaid enrollment, urbanization, residence in a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA), and time of first dental visit through 2007.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: About 32% of children had a first dental visit within 6 months of enrollment; this proportion increased to 49%, 64%, and 74% by years 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In the unadjusted models, there was no significant difference between children with and without IDD in time to first dental visit (P = .22). After adjusting for model covariates, however, children with IDD were 31% more likely to have a delayed first dental visit (P = .04).&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: Newly Medicaid-enrolled children aged 3 to 8 years with IDD in Iowa were significantly more likely to have a later first dental visit. Future interventions should focus on ensuring timely access to first dental visits for all Medicaid-enrolled children, with an emphasis on those with IDD.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21088261</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>196</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">196</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chilton, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rose, D.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Health Management and Policy, Drexel University School of Public Health, 1505 Race St, 11th Floor, Mail Stop 1035, Philadelphia, PA 19102-1192, USA. mariana.chilton@drexel.edu</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A rights-based approach to food insecurity in the United States</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1203-11</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009/05/16</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child Development</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Educational Status</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Food Supply/economics/ standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human Rights</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Income</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutritional Status</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poverty/ economics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Single-Parent Family</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jul</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1541-0048 (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19443834</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Food insecurity is a serious public health problem associated with poor cognitive and emotional development in children and with depression and poor health in adults. Despite sizable continued investments in federal food assistance, food insecurity still affects 11.1% of US households--almost the same rate as in 1995, when annual measurement began. As a fresh approach to solving the problem of food insecurity, we suggest adoption of a human rights framework. This approach could actively engage those affected and would ensure that food security monitoring would be compared to benchmarks in national action plans. We describe key elements of a right-to-food approach, review challenges to implementing it, and suggest actions to foster its adoption.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chilton, Mariana&#xD;Rose, Donald&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Jul;99(7):1203-11.

An attractive feature of this particular database is that it permits a search within specific age ranges, geographic locations, and household income. Information on 1,068 cases reported to the California Cancer Registry between 2001 and 2005 was entered manually into the SalesGenie Web-based search engine. The frequency of Registry-to-SalesGenie matches was then compared with the frequency of matching the registry data to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) records. Our findings indicate that the SalesGenie database is currently less comprehensive than DMV records. Nevertheless, Web-based population data sources may provide a potential alternative for population-based studies when used in conjunction with other methods, particularly in states where DMV records are not accessible to researchers.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chintapalli, Sabeena&#xD;Goodman, Michael&#xD;Allen, Mark&#xD;Ward, Kevin&#xD;Liff, Jonathan&#xD;Young, John&#xD;Terry, Paul&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2009 May-Jun;124(3):378-83.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, data, and methods </style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>198</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">198</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Choi, S.

Identifying factors associated with ratings will help us understand the relative influence of individuals&apos; sociodemographic and health characteristics on satisfaction level, thus informing policy making and clinical practice. Existing research has yielded mixed results on key predictors of consumer ratings. Using nationally representative data, this study aims to identify factors associated with Americans&apos; ratings of health care quality. Data from 2008 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) were analyzed using weighted multinomial logistic regressions to estimate consumer ratings. Predictor variables included demographics, health status, care access, and attitude and perceptions about health. Overall ratings were positively skewed; 70% of respondents rated care as &quot;excellent&quot; or &quot;very good.&quot; Minority race, psychological distress, not having had cancer, not having a regular health care provider, not having health insurance, lacking confidence in self-care, and avoidance of doctors were significantly associated with lower ratings. The study identifies the psychosocial characteristics associated with lower consumer ratings. The results highlight the importance of using multiple approaches to assess quality of care, including considering patient characteristics, and contribute to the evidence base for evaluating overall quality of care at the dawn of health care reform.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21154090</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>199</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">199</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chretien, J.

Strategies for enhancing workforce capacity and competency have been discussed by agencies, associations, committees, and expert panels since the landmark 1988 Institute of Medicine report. The need to foster the development of incentives for lifelong learning and career growth is of current interest to national public health associations and federal agencies. The fact that the public health workforce is not a single profession, but rather a fabric of many professions dedicated to a common endeavor, creates challenges to any singular approach.

Little research has been carried out on the infrastructure required to support public health programs. This article describes the results of an interactive process to develop a research agenda for public health workforce development to inform all those with stakes in the public health system. This research is defined as a multidisciplinary field of inquiry, both basic and applied, that examines the workforce in terms of costs, quality, accessibility, delivery, organization, financing, and outcomes of public health services to increase knowledge and understanding of the relationships among workforce and structure, processes, and effects of public health services. A logic model and five priority research areas resulted from meetings of expert panels during 2000 to 2003. Innovative public and private partnerships will be required to advance cross-cutting and systems-focused research.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cioffi, Joan P&#xD;Lichtveld, Maureen Y&#xD;Tilson, Hugh&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2004 May-Jun;10(3):186-92.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>202</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">202</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clancy, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bilheimer, L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gagnon, D.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natl Ctr Hlth Stat, Off Anal &amp; Epidemiol, Hyattsville, MD 20782 USA.

We also explored associations between community engagement and outcomes. METHODS: We interviewed a sample of 1477 parents of children with asthma in coalition target areas and comparison areas at baseline and 1 year to assess quality-of-life and symptom changes. An extensive tracking and documentation procedure and a survey of 284 participating individuals and organizations were used to ascertain policy and system changes and community engagement levels. RESULTS: A total of 89 policy and system changes were achieved, ranging from changes in interinstitutional and intrainstitutional practices to statewide legislation. Allies children experienced fewer daytime (P = .008) and nighttime (P = .004) asthma symptoms than comparison children. In addition, Allies parents felt less helpless, frightened, and angry (P = .01) about their child&apos;s asthma. Type of community engagement was associated with number of policy and system changes. CONCLUSIONS: Community coalitions can successfully achieve asthma policy and system changes and improve health outcomes. Increased core and ongoing community stakeholder participation rather than a higher overall number of participants was associated with more change.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clark, Noreen M&#xD;Lachance, Laurie&#xD;Doctor, Linda Jo&#xD;Gilmore, Lisa&#xD;Kelly, Cindy&#xD;Krieger, James&#xD;Lara, Marielena&#xD;Meurer, John&#xD;Friedman Milanovich, Amy&#xD;Nicholas, Elisa&#xD;Rosenthal, Michael&#xD;Stoll, Shelley C&#xD;Wilkin, Margaret&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 May;100(5):904-12.

Respondents from a population-based consumer opinion panel (n = 2,639) were categorized as &quot;extensively socially-networked&quot; (75+ friends and acquaintances, and almost daily giving friends advice on general issues) vs. &quot;non-networked.&quot; The networked respondents were further divided into &quot;health-networked&quot; (regularly asked for health advice) versus &quot;only-socially-networked&quot; groups (asked for general advice, not health). Chi-square analyses, ANOVA tests, and multivariate regressions controlling for sociodemographic variables compared health behaviors and attitudes between groups. Results indicated that health-networked individuals reported more positive health behaviors (e.g., fruit and vegetable consumption) and attitudes than only-socially-networked and non-networked individuals. Future research is warranted to elucidate how providing health advice to a large network contributes to the positive health of health-networked individuals. Exploratory analyses revealed that doctors and health/fitness magazines were main sources of health and nutrition information for health-networked respondents. Through their advice and word-of-mouth, health-networked individuals have the potential to influence the health information of large groups of people and, therefore, may serve as valuable change agents to disseminate health and nutrition information.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colon-Ramos, Uriyoan&#xD;Atienza, Audie A&#xD;Weber, Deanne&#xD;Taylor, Melissa&#xD;Uy, Christina&#xD;Yaroch, Amy&#xD;England&#xD;Journal of health communication&#xD;J Health Commun. 2009 Mar;14(2):119-30.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">909489019 [pii]&#xD;10.1080/10810730802659111 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>206</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">206</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corso, L.

For four of the leading causes of death in the United States (cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, and injury) residents of the Delta region are between 1.16 (cancer) and 1.45 (injury) times as likely to die as residents of the United States in general. Delta region residents are also more likely to have higher BMI, higher blood pressure, more diabetes, and are more likely to smoke. From 1968 to 1982, mortality rates in the Delta region and in the U.S. fell rapidly and in parallel. Beginning in the 1980s, these two rates continued to decline but began to diverge, with less improvement in the Delta region than in the United States in general. From 1968 to 1982, mortality disparities in the Delta were about 90 excess deaths per 100,000. By 2004, mortality disparities in the Delta had doubled to about 187 excess deaths per 100,000. Put differently, the Delta region had approximately 18,000 excess deaths in 2004, deaths that would not have occurred had the region achieved the average rate of mortality experienced by the remainder of the nation.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organizatin, Stucture, Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>209</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">209</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Generic">13</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costich, Julia Field</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">(859) 257-8709&#xD;jfcost0@uky.edu</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assessment of training needs for public health financial managers</style></title></titles><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Community-Institutional Relations</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery of Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Economics, Medical</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Education, Professional</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Policy</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Health Services Research</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kentucky</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health/*economics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Public Health Administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">State Government</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">University of Kentucky Research Foundation, Center for Health Services Management and Research</style></publisher><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Foundation&apos;s Public Health Systems Research program was designed to help establish the field of public health systems research as a needed resource that will enable governmental health agencies to improve their performance.

They will survey a national sample of public health finance officers and the senior public health officials to whom they report. The survey will gather information on their self-assessment of current knowledge and performance in relation to public health finance competencies, as well as their preference for educational formats. Using newly issued competencies in public health financial management as benchmarks, the researchers will identify areas of need, mechanisms for delivering training and potential funding sources.

The next logical step was to provide a validity check for the competencies and identify priority areas for educational programming. METHODS: We developed a survey for local public health finance officers based on the public health finance competencies and field tested it with a convenience sample of officials. We asked respondents to indicate the importance of each competency area and the need for training to improve performance; we also requested information regarding respondent education, jurisdiction size, and additional comments. Our local agency survey sample drew on the respondent list from the National Association of County and City Health Officials 2005 local health department survey, stratified by agency size and limited to jurisdiction populations of 25,000 to 1,000,000. Identifying appropriate respondents was a major challenge. The survey was fielded electronically, yielding 112 responses from 30 states. RESULTS: The areas identified as most important and needing most additional training were knowledge of budget activities, financial data interpretation and communication, and ability to assess and correct the organization&apos;s financial status. The majority of respondents had some postbaccalaureate education. Many provided additional comments and recommendations. DISCUSSION: Health department finance officers demonstrated a high level of general agreement regarding the importance of finance competencies in public health and the need for training. The findings point to a critical need for additional training opportunities that are accessible, cost-effective, and targeted to individual needs.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costich, Julia F&#xD;Honore, Peggy A&#xD;Scutchfield, F Douglas&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Jul-Aug;15(4):307-10.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e31819b2c78 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200907000-00007 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>211</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">211</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costich, J.

The criterion validity of the capacity inventory was assessed by comparing selected state and local agency responses with documentation provided by the agencies to corroborate their answers. Content validity assessment took the form of a mailed survey that also identified the most important questions from the perspective of a separate set of state and local officials. Responses generally upheld the validity of the capacity inventory, although circumstantial threats to validity were identified in the testing process. The instrument&apos;s use has been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by approximately half the states and over 800 local public health entities. An interactive electronic version includes a scoring mechanism that allows agencies to judge progress towards the critical capacities and benchmarks over time.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costich, Julia Field&#xD;Scutchfield, F Douglas&#xD;TS01-0608/United States PHS&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2004 May-Jun;10(3):225-33.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>212</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">212</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Book">6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cowan, G.

Among these was Arkansas&apos;s Act 1220 of 2003, the most comprehensive school-based childhood obesity legislation at that time. We used the Multiple Streams Framework to analyze factors that brought childhood obesity to the forefront of the Arkansas legislative agenda and resulted in the passage of Act 1220. When 3 streams (problem, policy, and political) are combined, a policy window is opened and policy entrepreneurs may advance their goals. We documented factors that produced a policy window and allowed entrepreneurs to enact comprehensive legislation. This historical analysis and the Multiple Streams Framework may serve as a roadmap for leaders seeking to influence health policy.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Craig, Rebekah L&#xD;Felix, Holly C&#xD;Walker, Jada F&#xD;Phillips, Martha M&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 Nov;100(11):2047-52.

This article reviews the previous efforts in identifying priorities of public health workforce research, which are summarized as eight major research themes. We outline a strategic framework for public health workforce research that includes six functional areas (ie, definition and standards, data, methodology, evaluation, policy, and dissemination and translation). To conceptualize and prioritize development of an actionable public health research agenda, we constructed a matrix of key challenges in workforce analysis by public health workforce categories. Extensive reviews were conducted to identify valuable methods, models, and approaches to public health workforce research. We explore new tools and approaches for addressing priority areas for public health workforce and career development research and assess how tools from multiple disciplines of social sciences can guide the development of a research framework for advancing public health workforce research and policy.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crawford, Carol A Gotway&#xD;Summerfelt, Wm Thomas&#xD;Roy, Kakoli&#xD;Chen, Zhuo Adam&#xD;Meltzer, David O&#xD;Thacker, Stephen B&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Nov;15(6 Suppl):S5-S15.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> workforce</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181bdff7d [doi]&#xD;00124784-200911001-00003 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>215</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">215</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crawford, J.

For our wealth measure, we used the standard measure of net worth as well as 9 simpler measures of wealth, and we compared results among the 10 models.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: In both data sets and for both health indicators, models using simpler wealth measures generated conclusions about the association between wealth and health that were similar to the conclusions generated by models using net worth. The magnitude and significance of the odds ratios were similar for the covariates in multivariate models, and the model-fit statistics for models using these simpler measures were similar to those for models using net worth.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that simpler measures of wealth may be acceptable in population-based studies of health.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21252050</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>217</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">217</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curry, C.

METHODS: Using mortality, years of potential life lost (YPLLs), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), hospital days, hospital discharges, and direct medical costs of conditions, 34 high-burden conditions addressed by CDC programs were identified, and information was collected about the funds spent on each by CDC during fiscal year (FY) 2003. The 34 conditions were grouped into 15 categorical areas, and the relationship between budget and burden was analyzed using correlation and regression methods for each of the categorical areas and for each measure of burden. RESULTS: Of CDC&apos;s total FY 2003 budget of $6.9 billion, 62% ($4.3 billion) of funding was allocated to one of the 34 conditions studied. A positive relationship between budget and burden was identified for all measures of burden, although the correlations varied for the different conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Although examination of the relationship of CDC&apos;s budget to burden measures provides insight into the agency&apos;s portfolio of investments, this exercise also highlights a number of limitations with this approach and the currently available burden measures. Assessment of key public health functions such as emergency preparedness and the collection of vital statistics require development of metrics different from the burden measures used in this analysis. Investment in the development of such metrics warrants consideration.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curry, Cecilia W&#xD;De, Anindya K&#xD;Ikeda, Robin M&#xD;Thacker, Stephen B&#xD;Netherlands&#xD;American journal of preventive medicine&#xD;Am J Prev Med. 2006 Mar;30(3):269-76.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">S0749-3797(05)00468-X [pii]&#xD;10.1016/j.amepre.2005.10.028 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>896</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">896</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curtis, AC, Waters CM, Brindis C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rural adolescent health: the importance of prevention services in the rural community</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Rural Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Rural Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60-71</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">prevention services</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CONTEXT: Adolescence is a pivotal developmental period for the establishment of positive health and health practices. However, developmentally propelled risk behaviors coinciding with barriers to health services may increase the propensity for untoward health outcomes in adolescence. In addition, the sociocultural context of the rural environment can present challenges to the health of adolescents. Limited data on rural adolescent health, particularly among population subgroups, hinder the ability to adequately advocate for adolescent health prevention services.&#xD;&#xD;METHODS: A secondary analysis of the 2005 California Health Interview Survey Adolescent questionnaire was conducted. Selected survey items corresponding to the Healthy Youth 2010 objectives were analyzed for 663 adolescents aged 12-17 residing in rural regions of California. Adolescent subgroup analysis included race/ethnicity, age, and poverty level.&#xD;&#xD;FINDINGS: Adolescent health issues of particular concern in this study include sexual health, substance use, mental health, and risk factors for obesity. Predictably, risk behaviors increase with the age of the adolescent. Minority and poor youth demonstrate the greatest vulnerability to untoward health outcomes.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSION: Significant risk behaviors and health concerns exist among the rural adolescent population, particularly among poor and minority youth, arguing for the creation and preservation of prevention services for youth in the rural community. Future research using alternative sampling methodologies may be necessary to adequately represent the higher-risk adolescent in the rural community. More data are needed on vulnerable adolescent populations in the rural community in order to adequately advocate for prevention services</style></abstract><urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>218</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">218</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalbey, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Development, Community, and Environment Division, US Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, District of Columbia, USA. dalbey.matthew@epa.gov</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Implementing smart growth strategies in rural America: development patterns that support public health goals</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Public Health Manag Pract</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Public Health Manag Pract</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">238-43</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008/04/15</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diffusion of Innovation</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obesity/epidemiology</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organizational Objectives</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rural Population</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Social Planning</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States/epidemiology</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walking</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">May-Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1550-5022 (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18408548</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recent studies on obesity rates show alarming increases across the entire population. Some of these studies indicate higher rates of obesity in rural populations than urban and suburban populations. Obesity in children in rural places also outpaces their suburban and urban counterparts. Although a number of factors account for these differences, public health professionals and researchers have begun to recognize that conventional development patterns and land use policies in rural areas are playing an important role in the trend. Smart growth alternatives to current rural development patterns also support broad public health goals. Rural communities across America face a number of challenges, yet many are using smart growth development strategies to turn the challenges into opportunities. These strategies are structured in a way that builds on broadly held values in rural communities, ones that build upon the traditional development pattern and support multiple community goals. Public health professionals, managers, and academics will benefit from this discussion because it will explain the strategies that rural decision makers, planners, and citizens are adopting to create places that support multiple community goals including a built environment that sustains and promotes active living.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalbey, Matthew&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2008 May-Jun;14(3):238-43.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000316482.65135.e8 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200805000-00007 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>219</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">219</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dausey, D.

METHODS: We identified a stratified random sample of 74 health departments and conducted a series of unannounced tests of their telephone-based surveillance systems. We used regression analyses to identify system characteristics that predicted fast connection with an action officer (an appropriate public health professional). RESULTS: Optimal performance in consistently connecting callers with an action officer in 30 minutes or less was achieved by 31% of participating health departments. Reaching a live person upon dialing, regardless of who that person was, was the strongest predictor of optimal performance both in being connected with an action officer and in consistency of connection times. CONCLUSIONS: Health departments can achieve optimal performance in consistently connecting a caller with an action officer in 30 minutes or less and may improve performance by using a telephone-based disease surveillance system in which the phone is answered by a live person at all times.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure, Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data, Methods</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>220</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">220</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davies, R.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">robert.davies@pwblf.org</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mobilising business through &quot;partnerships for health promotion&quot;.

Since the mid-1980s, with support from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has been working to build an occupational health program and promote the integration of occupational health concerns with ongoing public health activities in the state.

METHODS: We reviewed existing incentives, held meetings with key informants, and conducted a survey of state and local public health agency representatives. The survey was sent to all state health departments and a sample of local health departments. Group-specific differences in survey responses were examined. RESULTS: Survey response rates were 51% among state health department representatives and 49% among local health department representatives. Both state health department and local health department respondents rated financial incentives for accredited agencies, financial incentives for agencies considering accreditation, and infrastructure and quality improvement as important incentives. State health department respondents also indicated that grant administration and grant application would encourage their participation in the national accreditation model, and local health department respondents also noted that technical assistance and training would encourage their participation. CONCLUSIONS: Incentives to encourage participation of state and local agencies in the national voluntary accreditation model should include financial support as well as support for agency infrastructure and quality improvements. Several initiatives are already under way to support agency infrastructure and quality improvement, but financial support incentives have yet to be developed.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davis, Mary V&#xD;Cannon, Margaret M&#xD;Corso, Liza&#xD;Lenaway, Dennis&#xD;Baker, Edward L&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Sep;99(9):1705-11.

Such reviews fail to assess states&apos; actual capacity for meeting the challenges they may face during an emergency, as evidenced by activities undertaken during the various phases of a disaster. This article examines North Carolina&apos;s public health preparedness and response performance during two hurricanes, Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003, as well as capacity building activities in the intervening years. North Carolina created new infrastructures, enhanced laboratory capacity, and strengthened communications after Hurricane Floyd. These activities facilitated implementation of functional capabilities through effective centralized communication, command and control incident management, and a rapid needs assessment and medical surveillance during Hurricane Isabel. North Carolina continues to implement these capabilities in public health emergencies. Measuring and implementing functional capabilities during exercises or real events facilitates achievement of preparedness performance standards, goals, and objectives.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davis, Mary V&#xD;MacDonald, Pia D M&#xD;Cline, J Steven&#xD;Baker, Edward L&#xD;A1011-21/22/United States PHS&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2007 Jan-Feb;122(1):17-26.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>224</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">224</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Sa, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lock, K.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Centre for Health of Societies in Transition, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK.</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Will European agricultural policy for school fruit and vegetables improve public health?

In 2007, European Ministers of Agriculture were asked to back new proposals for school fruit and vegetable programmes as part of agricultural reforms. In 2008, the European Commission conducted an impact assessment to assess the potential impact of this new proposal on health, agricultural markets, social equality and regional cohesion. METHODS: A systematic review of the effectiveness of interventions to promote fruit and/or vegetable consumption in children in schools, to inform the EC policy development process. RESULTS: School schemes are effective at increasing both intake and knowledge. Of the 30 studies included, 70% increased fruits and vegetables (FV) intake, with none decreasing intake. Twenty-three studies had follow-up periods &gt;1 year and provide some evidence that FV schemes can have long-term impacts on consumption. Only one study led to both increased fruit and vegetable intake and reduction in weight. One study showed that school fruit and vegetable schemes can also help to reduce inequalities in diet. Effective school programmes have used a range of approaches and been organized in ways which vary nationally depending on differences in food supply chain and education systems. CONCLUSIONS: EU agriculture policy for school fruits and vegetables schemes should be an effective approach with both public health and agricultural benefits. Aiming to increase FV intake amongst a new generation of consumers, it will support a range of EU policies including obesity and health inequalities.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Sa, Joia&#xD;Lock, Karen&#xD;Review&#xD;England&#xD;European journal of public health&#xD;Eur J Public Health. 2008 Dec;18(6):558-68.

As part of the development of a community-based PA program, a PA asset assessment was conducted in two low-income urban neighborhoods that support elementary schools serving minority youth. Resources were rated using an adapted version of the Physical Activity Resource Assessment (PARA), a multi-dimensional instrument that rates various venues on their features, amenities, and incivilities. Seventy-one child-centric venues (e.g., parks, playgrounds, community centers, sports facilities, fitness centers, etc.) were assessed within a three-mile radius of each school. Community member feedback via interviews with parent-child dyads revealed issues (e.g., bullying) not captured by the PARA that can influence venue use. Whereas the PARA can be a useful needs assessment and program planning tool for community-based PA programs, supplementing PARA data with community-based input may reduce contextual error in program development.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20556490</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>225</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">225</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Declercq, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caldwell, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hobbs, S.

Data collected in a national sample of local health officers were used in measuring the effect of four different patterns of administrative relationships on the selected characteristics of local health department programs. Important differences were observed among the four organizational types with regard to constraints on programs and program priorities, and health officers&apos; perceptions of the primary functions of local health departments and sources of local health department funding. These findings were then used as a baseline from which to consider the possible impact of recent federal health budgetary proposals (specifically, block grants) both on existing patterns of intergovernmental relations and on the funding and operation of local health department programs. It was determined that the most likely general development arising from these proposed changes in federal budgetary policy is that the administrative control of state health agencies over those at the local level is likely to be enhanced. Other likely developments include changes in the programs and priorities of local health departments related to reductions in overall funding levels for human services and forced competition for fewer dollars by an enlarged constituency.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DeFriese, G H&#xD;Hetherington, J S&#xD;Brooks, E F&#xD;Miller, C A&#xD;Jain, S C&#xD;Kavaler, F&#xD;Stein, J S&#xD;United states&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 1981 Oct;71(10):1109-15.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>227</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">227</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Cura, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huertas, R.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, C/ Albasanz 26-28, Madrid, Spain. rafael.huertas@cchs.csic.es</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public health and nutrition after the Spanish Civil War.

METHODS: We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for the years 2001 through 2004 (4015 men and 4066 women). Multivariate analyses were performed with a logistic regression model. RESULTS: After adjustment for age and ethnicity, among women with high glycosylated hemoglobin levels, the most-educated women had poorer self-rated health compared with the least-educated women (odds ratio [OR] = 4.61; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.90, 7.34 vs OR = 2.59; 95% CI = 1.60, 4.20, respectively; interaction test, P = 0.06). The same was true among women with high cholesterol levels (OR = 2.23; 95% CI = 1.40, 3.56 vs OR = 1.13; 95% CI = 0.85, 1.49, respectively; interaction test, P = 0.06). Among men, the impact of education level on the association between self-rated health and any cardiovascular risk factors (measured or self-reported) was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: The impact of cardiovascular risk factors on self-rated health was higher for highly educated women, which could lead to underestimation of health inequalities between socioeconomic groups when self-rated health is used as an indicator of objective health.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delpierre, Cyrille&#xD;Lauwers-Cances, Valerie&#xD;Datta, Geetanjali D&#xD;Berkman, Lisa&#xD;Lang, Thierry&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Jul;99(7):1278-84.

However, whether patients are able to partner with the practice in using communication technologies is not known. We sought to determine (1) the proportion of clinic patients who use internet and cell phone text messaging technologies, (2) the level of patient interest in using these technologies for the purpose of managing clinical appointments and patient education. Consecutive adult patients, clinicians and staff at an urban community health center were surveyed during a one-week period in order to estimate the frequency of technology use by patients. A total of 308 survey cards were collected during the designated week (response rate of 85% (308/362). One-third (34.0%, 105) of surveyed patients used the internet and text messaging daily or weekly, while nearly two-thirds (59.7%, 182) never used these technologies. There were no racial or gender differences in the proportion of patients who used the internet daily or weekly. In contrast, African-Americans used text messaging more often than whites (28.2 vs. 21.4%, P &lt; .05), and females more than males (30.8 vs. 18.5%, P &lt; .05). Younger patients (&gt;50) used the internet and text messaging more often than older patients (50.6 vs. 16.6%, 44.3 vs. 7.3%, respectively). Despite the low use of both technologies, patient&apos;s interest in managing clinic appointments was high (40.3% for the Internet and 56.8% for text messaging). Clinicians and staff estimated patient&apos;s daily/weekly use of internet and cellphone messaging at 40.3% (± 22.0), and 56.8% (± 25.7), respectively. Most patients at this urban community health center reported never using the internet or cell phone text messaging. Clinicians overestimated technology use by patients. Planning for clinic infrastructure, quality improvement, and patient education should include assessment of technology use patterns by patients.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21086028</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>229</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">229</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Derose, S.

Methods: An indicator development team utilized public health quality measurement concepts, reviewed existing quality measurement-related initiatives, and conducted interviews with LHD staff in order to identify and develop quality indicators for the Los Angeles County Health Department. Results: Sixty-one recommended and 50 acceptable (i.e., scientifically sound but less useful) indicators were developed, with an emphasis on measuring process quality in services delivery. Pre-existing indicators from external sources, when available, were often not well suited to the Health Department&apos;s needs. The indicator development process clarified conceptual issues, highlighted strengths and limitations of potential indicators, and revealed implementation barriers. Conclusions: A limited number of generally available, quantitative indicators of local public health quality exist. Indicators addressing the delivery of LHD services can be locally developed to fill an important gap in public health quality-improvement efforts. However, implementation of quality measurement is difficult due to limited evidence on public health practices, sparse data resources, unclear accountability, and inconsistent organizational motivation.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 734HC&#xD;Times Cited: 5&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 40&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *AM PUBL HLTH ASS, 1934, APPR FORM CIT HLTH W&#xD;     *AM PUBL HLTH ASS, 1947, EV SCHED US STUDY AP&#xD;     *ASS STAT TERR HLT, 1991, HLTH COMM 2000 MOD S&#xD;     *CDCP, 1991, MMWR-MORBID MORTAL W, V40, P449&#xD;     *I MED, 1988, FUT PUBL HLTH&#xD;     *LOS ANG COUNT DEP, 2000, LOS ANG COUNT HLTH S&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNT CIT, 2000, MAPP MOB ACT PLANN P&#xD;     *NAT ASS COUNT HLT, 1991, APEXPH ASS PROT EXC&#xD;     *NAT COMM QUAL ASS, 2002, HLTH PLAN EMPL DAT I&#xD;     *PUBL HLTH FUNCT P, 1999, PUBL HLTH AM&#xD;     *PUBL HLTH PRACT P, 2001, LOC PUBL HLTH SYST P&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 1997, RES BAS SYST PUBL HL, V1&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 1997, RES BAS SYST PUBL HL, V2&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 2000, HLTH PEOPL 2010&#xD;     *US TASK FORC COMM, 2001, GUID COMM PREV SERV&#xD;     AHARONY L, 1993, MED CARE REV, V50, P49&#xD;     BAKER EL, 1994, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V272, P1276&#xD;     BEAULIEU JE, 2003, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V9, P188&#xD;     BROOK RH, 1996, NEW ENGL J MED, V335, P966&#xD;     DEROSE SF, 2002, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V23, P1&#xD;     DEVER GEA, 1997, IMPROVING OUTCOMES P&#xD;     DONABEDIAN A, 1980, EXPLORATIONS QUALITY, V1&#xD;     FIELDING JE, 1999, AM J PREV MED, V17, P79&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 2000, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V6, R6&#xD;     HANDLER A, 2001, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P1235&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1995, AM J PREV MED S, V11, P29&#xD;     JACKSON CA, 1998, EVIDENCE BASED DECIS&#xD;     LICHIELLO P, 1998, ENABLING PERFORMANCE&#xD;     MARGOLIS LH, 1999, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V5, P47&#xD;     MAYS GP, 1998, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V4, P63&#xD;     MAYS GP, 2000, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAG, V6, P59&#xD;     MCGLYNN EA, 1996, CHANGING US HLTH CAR, P142&#xD;     MCGLYNN EA, 1998, AM J PREV MED S, V14, P14&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P1743&#xD;     PERRIN EB, 1997, ASSESSMENT PERFORMAN&#xD;     ROPER W, 2000, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V6, P66&#xD;     SMITH MA, 1997, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V278, P1573&#xD;     TRUMAN BI, 2000, AM J PREV MED S, V18, P18&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1997, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V18, P261&#xD;     TURNOCK BJ, 1998, J PUBLIC HEALTH MAN, V4, P26</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000186048300014</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>230</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">230</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Derose, S.

Measuring quality can help organizations monitor their progress toward public health goals and become more accountable to both the populations they serve and policy makers. Yet quality assessment is a complex task that involves precise determination and specification of useful measures. We discuss a well-established conceptual framework for organizing quality assessment in the context of planning and delivery of programs and services by local health departments, and consider the strengths and limitations of this approach for guiding quality improvement. We review several past and present quality measurement-related initiatives designed for public health department use, and discuss current and future challenges in this evolving area of public health practice.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 553QK&#xD;Times Cited: 10&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 87&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;

Examination of individual state experiences with motorcycle helmet legislation demonstrates that universal motorcycle helmet laws effectively promote helmet use compliance, reduce morbidity and mortality in motorcycle crashes, and lower the health care costs and associated societal burdens of these crash victims. Motorcycle advocates have challenged the implementation of these laws and directly influenced the weakening or frank repeal of these laws to negative consequence. We offer this review as an educational resource to encourage and facilitate health care worker participation in legislative efforts to support implementation and maintenance of universal motorcycle helmet laws.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Derrick, Allison J&#xD;Faucher, Lee D&#xD;Review&#xD;England&#xD;Journal of public health policy&#xD;J Public Health Policy. 2009 Jul;30(2):226-42.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> organization and structure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">jphp200911 [pii]&#xD;10.1057/jphp.2009.11 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>232</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">232</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deutsch, H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elligers, J.

We also assessed whether parents&apos; confusion regarding their children&apos;s status affected nonenrollment.&#xD;&#xD;METHODS: We conducted cross-sectional analyses of linked statewide Food Stamp Program and OHP administrative databases (n = 10 175) and primary data from a statewide survey (n = 2681).&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: More than 20% of parents with children not administratively enrolled in OHP reported that their children were enrolled. Parents of 11.3% of children who were administratively enrolled reported that they were not. Eligible but unenrolled children had higher odds of being older, having higher family incomes, and having employed and uninsured parents.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: These findings reveal an important discrepancy between administrative data and parent-reported access to public health insurance. This discrepancy may stem from transient coverage or confusion among parents and may result in underutilization of health insurance for eligible children</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21421944</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>233</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">233</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dietz, W.

Obesogenic environments have increased owing to the consumption of calorie-dense foods of low nutritional value and the reduction of daily physical activity (e.g., increased portion sizes of meals eaten in and out of the home and fewer physical activity requirements in schools). Policymakers and public health practitioners need to know the best practices and have the competencies to use laws and legal authorities to reverse the obesity epidemic. For instance, statutes and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels of government have been implemented to improve nutritional choices and access to healthy foods, encourage physical activity, and educate consumers about adopting healthy lifestyles. METHODS: In an effort to understand the application of laws and legal authorities for obesity prevention and control, in June 2008 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention convened the National Summit on Legal Preparedness for Obesity Prevention and Control. An outcome of this summit will be the publication of the proceeding&apos;s white papers written by eight law and subject-matter experts with substantive contributions from summit participants, which will identify actionable options that sectors and organizations at various jurisdictional levels can consider adopting. FINDINGS: Law has played a critical role in the control of chronic diseases and the behaviors that lead to them. The use of a systematic legal framework--the use of legislation, regulation, and policy to address the multiple factors that contribute to obesogenic environments--can assist in the development, implementation, and evaluation of a variety of legal approaches for obesity prevention and control. CONCLUSIONS: Although public health-focused legal interventions are in an early stage and the direct and indirect impact they may have on the obesity epidemic is not yet understood, efforts such as the summit and white papers should help determine potentially viable legal interventions and assess their impact on population-level change.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dietz, William H&#xD;Benken, Donald E&#xD;Hunter, Alicia S&#xD;United States&#xD;The Milbank quarterly&#xD;Milbank Q. 2009 Mar;87(1):215-27.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organization and structure </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MILQ553 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1468-0009.2009.00553.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>931</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">931</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dodge, T, Litt D, Kaufman A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of the dietary supplement health and education act on consumer beliefs about the safety and effectiveness of dietary supplements</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Health Commun</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Health Commun</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">230-44</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dietary supplement</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The authors conducted two studies to examine the influence of the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) on consumer beliefs about the safety and effectiveness of dietary supplements.

Study 2 tested the effect of an educational intervention designed to improve knowledge about the DSHEA. Results of Study 1 highlighted deficits in consumer knowledge about FDA regulation of dietary supplements. Results also showed that information about FDA approval failed to have a statistically significant effect on beliefs about safety or effectiveness of the dietary supplement. Results of Study 2 showed that participants who were educated about the regulation of dietary supplements under the DSHEA rated dietary supplements as less safe and less effective than did participants in the control condition.

METHODS: We used Poisson regression models to examine the impact of the state law in cities and towns with and without previous local smoking bans and the effect of the local laws for the period of 1999 through 2006. RESULTS: The AMI mortality rate decreased by 7.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.3%, 11.4%) after implementation of the state law. The state ban had an impact in cities and towns with no prior local smoking ban (9.2% decrease; P &lt; .001) but not cities and towns with a prior local smoking ban. However, there was a nonsignificant 4.9% (95% CI = -5.0%, 13.9%) decrease associated with the local smoking ban that preceded the effect of the state ban. The effect of the state ban was modest (-1.6%) in the first 12 months after implementation but much larger after the first 12 months (-18.6%; P &lt; .001). CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive statewide smoke-free workplace laws in Massachusetts were associated with an estimated 270 fewer AMI deaths per year. These results add to the evidence suggesting that smoke-free air laws are associated with lower rates of AMI.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dove, Melanie S&#xD;Dockery, Douglas W&#xD;Mittleman, Murray A&#xD;Schwartz, Joel&#xD;Sullivan, Eileen M&#xD;Keithly, Lois&#xD;Land, Thomas&#xD;2 T32 ES07069-26/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 Nov;100(11):2206-12.

Through a series of community forums and a photovoice project, residents named community health needs and assets, framed potential solutions, and selected possible action steps to improve the local health status. Photographs and narratives from the photovoice project supplemented information from preliminary health forums to devise a framework of possible solutions to the identified health problems. Analysis of forum transcripts suggests that participants who used an issue guide that used photovoice images and stories were able to transition from broad approaches of change to specific action steps more than participants in other forums who used a more traditional forum issue guide. Community members are more easily able to identify solutions to local health issues when forum discussions are informed by local images and narratives.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health promotion practice&#xD;Health Promot Pract. 2008 Mar 5;.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1524839907301408 [pii]&#xD;10.1177/1524839907301408 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>236</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">236</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Draper, D.

Plans are moving to offer less restrictive managed care products and product features that respond to consumers&apos; and purchasers&apos; demands for more choice and flexibility. In addition, because consumers and purchasers prefer broad and stable networks that require plans to include rather than exclude providers, plans are seeking less contentious contractual relationships with physicians and hospitals. Finally, to the extent that these changes erode their ability to control costs, plans are shifting from an emphasis only on increasing market share to a renewed emphasis on protecting profitability. Consequently, purchasers and consumers face escalating health care costs under these changing conditions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Draper, Debra A&#xD;Hurley, Robert E&#xD;Lesser, Cara S&#xD;Strunk, Bradley C&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Health affairs (Project Hope)&#xD;Health Aff (Millwood). 2002 Jan-Feb;21(1):11-23.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>237</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">237</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dredger, S.

Maps and mapping tools can be very useful for research transfer in converting locally collected data into information. Challenges involved in incorporating GIS applications into the decision-making process within the non-profit (public) health sector include a lack of financial resources for software acquisition and training for non-specialists to use such tools. This on-going project has two primary phases. This paper critically reflects on Phase 1: the participatory design (PD) process of developing a collaborative web-based GIS tool. METHODS: A case study design is being used whereby the case is defined as the data analyst and manager dyad (a two person team) in selected Ontario Early Year Centres (OEYCs). Multiple cases are used to support the reliability of findings. With nine producer/user pair participants, the goal in Phase 1 was to identify barriers to map production, and through the participatory design process, develop a web-based GIS tool suited for data analysts and their managers. This study has been guided by the Ottawa Model of Research Use (OMRU) conceptual framework. RESULTS: Due to wide variations in OEYC structures, only some data analysts used mapping software and there was no consistency or standardization in the software being used. Consequently, very little sharing of maps and data occurred among data analysts. Using PD, this project developed a web-based mapping tool (EYEMAP) that was easy to use, protected proprietary data, and permit limited and controlled sharing between participants. By providing data analysts with training on its use, the project also ensured that data analysts would not break cartographic conventions (e.g. using a chloropleth map for count data). Interoperability was built into the web-based solution; that is, EYEMAP can read many different standard mapping file formats (e.g. ESRI, MapInfo, CSV). DISCUSSION: Based on the evaluation of Phase 1, the PD process has served both as a facilitator and a barrier. In terms of successes, the PD process identified two key components that are important to users: increased data/map sharing functionality and interoperability. Some of the challenges affected developers and users; both individually and as a collective. From a development perspective, this project experienced difficulties in obtaining personnel skilled in web application development and GIS. For users, some data sharing barriers are beyond what a technological tool can address (e.g. third party data). Lastly, the PD process occurs in real time; both a strength and a limitation. Programmatic changes at the provincial level and staff turnover at the organizational level made it difficult to maintain buy-in as participants changed over time. The impacts of these successes and challenges will be evaluated more concretely at the end of Phase 2.

METHODS: The study compared the Local Instrument scores of 6 rural local public health systems to external assessments of those public health systems. The 6 public health systems represented 3 states in which 1 of the 2 local jurisdictions had scored well below and the other well above the state median in a pilot test of the Local Instrument. The study design featured a case study approach consisting of an iterative and integrated combination of semistructured individual and focus group interviews along with the collection of archival materials provided by the 6 public health systems. FINDINGS: Despite differences in Local Instrument scores, the representative public health systems in each state provided roughly the same levels of public health services. Sites varied tremendously in the percentage of survey items rated highly or less relevant. CONCLUSIONS: The National Public Health Performance Standards Program Local Instrument can provide a useful structure and process for assessing public health system performance at the local level.

The group discussed the role of health departments and defined goals for future surveillance activities. Participants identified the following main points: (1) surveillance should guide prevention and infection-control activities, (2) an MDRO surveillance system should be adaptable and not organism specific, (3) new systems should utilize and link existing systems, and (4) automated electronic laboratory reporting will be an important component of surveillance but will take time to develop. Current MDRO reporting mandates and surveillance methods vary across states and localities. Health departments that have not already done so should be proactive in determining what type of system, if any, will fit their needs.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21387947</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>240</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">240</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duffy, R.

To improve epidemiology support across categorical programs, the Division of Prevention at the Ohio Department of Health initiated a new policy early in 2003 whereby each program epidemiologist is responsible for learning to analyze data from at least two datasets as well as continuing to be the lead data person for his or her program. Now, for each critical dataset at least one epidemiologist is capable of conducting data analysis and providing support to other programs. Without the addition of new epidemiology staff, this policy has enabled the Ohio Department of Health to produce reports that better describe the burden of chronic diseases, make more informed decisions on what populations to target, and plan well-thought-out interventions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duffy, Rosemary E&#xD;Siegel, Paul Z&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Mar-Apr;15(2):123-6.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce&#xD;</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000346009.51651.c5 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200903000-00008 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>241</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">241</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duke, J.

DESIGN: Comparison of cross-sectional data from three waves of the school-based National Youth Tobacco Surveys conducted in 2000 (N= 33,772), 2002 (N= 23,439), and 2004 (N= 23,540). SETTING: Public and private middle schools and high schools across the United States. SUBJECTS: Students in grades 6 through 12. MEASURES: Smoking status; exposure to images of smoking on television and in movies; exposure to advertisements for tobacco products in stores, on the Internet, and in newspapers and magazines; demographic data. RESULTS: Youth exposure to pro-tobacco messages declined within all media channels studied from 2000 to 2004, except the Internet. Despite these declines, most youth in the United States remain exposed to pro-tobacco messages: 81% saw images of smoking on television or in movies (down from 90%), 85% saw tobacco ads in stores (down from 88%), 50% saw tobacco ads in newspapers and magazines (down from 66%), and 33 % saw tobacco ads on the Internet (up from 22%). CONCLUSION: Despite recent progress in this area, most youth in the United States are still at increased risk of smoking as a result of exposure to pro-tobacco messages in the mass media.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duke, Jennifer C&#xD;Allen, Jane Appleyard&#xD;Pederson, Linda L&#xD;Mowery, Paul D&#xD;Xiao, Haijun&#xD;Sargent, James D&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of health promotion : AJHP&#xD;Am J Health Promot. 2009 Jan-Feb;23(3):195-202.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> Technology, data, and methods</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>242</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">242</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duncan, A.

In characterizing program performance over time, investigators often observe multiple changes resulting from a single intervention across a range of categories. Although a variety of statistical tools allow evaluation of data one variable at a time, the global test statistic is uniquely suited for analyses of categories or groups of interrelated variables. Here we demonstrate how the global test statistic can be applied to environmental and occupational health data for the purpose of making overall statements on the success of targeted intervention strategies.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dymova, Natalya&#xD;Hanumara, R Choudary&#xD;Enander, Richard T&#xD;Gagnon, Ronald N&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Oct;99(10):1739-41.

This study investigated the construct validity and reliability of the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals, as promulgated by the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health (COL). Principal component analysis, correlation and reliability analysis and known-groups comparisons were utilized. Results suggest omitting six items and moving six items to arrive at a 65 item, eight factor solution that corresponds with the eight COL domains. Additional evidence of construct validity was provided by known-groups comparisons that effectively discriminated between respondents known to differ on job type, education and practice experience.

The objective was to create and implement a simple and effective training and planning exercise to assist individual rural hospitals to improve disaster preparedness, as well as to enhance regional collaboration among these hospitals. METHODS: The exercise was offered to rural hospitals enrolled with the Rural and Community Health Institute of the Texas A&amp;M University System Health Science Center, and 17 participated. A 3-hour tabletop exercise emphasizing regional issues in a pandemic avian influenza scenario followed by a 1-hour debriefing was implemented in 3 geographic clusters of hospitals. Trained emergency preparedness evaluators documented observations of the exercise on a standard form. Participants were debriefed after the exercise and provided written feedback. RESULTS: Observations included having insufficient staff for incident command, facility constraints, the need to further develop regional cooperation, and operational and ethical challenges in a pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: The tabletop exercise gave evidence of being a simple and acceptable tool for rural medical planners. It lends itself well to improving medical preparedness, analysis of weak spots, development of regional teamwork, and rapid response.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edwards, Janine C&#xD;Kang, JungEun&#xD;Silenas, Rasa&#xD;1 U18 HS13715/HS/AHRQ HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;The Journal of rural health : official journal of the American Rural Health Association and the National Rural Health Care Association&#xD;J Rural Health. 2008 Summer;24(3):321-5.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JRH176 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1748-0361.2008.00176.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>246</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">246</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ellis, B.

A proxy is someone other than the respondent who completes the survey for the respondent. METHODS: The propensity score method of matched sampling was used to compare proxy and self-completed responses. A propensity score is a value that equals the estimated probability of a given individual belonging to a treatment group given the observed background characteristics of that individual. Proxy and self-completed responses were compared on demographics, the SF-36, chronic conditions, activities of daily living, and depression-screening questions. For each individual survey respondent, logistic regression was used to calculate the probability that this individual belonged to the proxy respondent group (propensity score). Pre and post adjustment comparisons were tested by calculating effect sizes. RESULTS: Differences between self and proxy-completed responses were substantially reduced with the use of the propensity score method. However, differences were still found in the SF-36, several demographics, several impaired activities of daily living, several chronic conditions, and one depression-screening question. CONCLUSION: The propensity score method helped to reduce differences between proxy-completed and self-completed survey responses, thereby providing an approximation to a randomized controlled experiment of proxy-completed versus self-completed survey responses.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ellis, Beth Hartman&#xD;Bannister, Wade M&#xD;Cox, Jacquilyn Kay&#xD;Fowler, Brenda M&#xD;Shannon, Erin Dowd&#xD;Drachman, David&#xD;Adams, Randall W&#xD;Giordano, Laura A&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;England&#xD;Health and quality of life outcomes&#xD;Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2003 Sep 18;1:47.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Technology and Methods&#xD;</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1186/1477-7525-1-47 [doi]&#xD;1477-7525-1-47 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>247</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">247</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ellison, J.

These public, private, and voluntary entities have differing roles, relationships, and interactions within the system and for the population served. Combining the Genesee Valley Network and the Livingston County Community Health Partnership in the Year 2000 formed the Genesee Valley Health Partnership, Livingston County, New York, consisting of 30 organizational members. In the spring of 2001, this partnership utilized the 10 Essential Services outlined in Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships&apos;s Local Public Health System Assessment to measure the capacity and performance of Livingston County&apos;s local health system. Through a process that asked two basic questions, &quot;What are the components, activities, competencies, and capabilities of our local public health system?&quot; and &quot;How are the Essential Services being provided to our community?&quot; the Partnership determined the following: (1) in 8 out of the 10 Essential Services, the system met the standard by more than 50 percent; and (2) the system excelled in five of the Essential Services. The Partnership concluded that many valuable programs and services were conducted throughout the community; however, partners did not know what services were available, how to access those services, or how to coordinate with each other. The NPHPS provided a standard measurement for the local public health system and identified gaps in the system.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>856</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">856</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enemark, C.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The role of the Biological Weapons Convention in disease surveillance and response.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Policy Plan</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Policy Plan</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">486-94</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">surveillance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This article assesses the role and significance of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) with respect to infectious disease surveillance and response to outbreaks. Increasingly, the BWC is being used as a platform for addressing infectious disease threats arising naturally as well as traditional concerns about malicious dissemination of pathogenic microorganisms. The latter have long had a place on the security agenda, but natural disease outbreaks too are now being partially &apos;securitized&apos; through the use of the BWC as a forum for exchanging information and ideas on disease surveillance and response. The article focuses on two prominent issues discussed at recent meetings of BWC member states: enhancing capacity for disease surveillance and response; and responding to allegations of biological weapons use and investigating outbreaks deemed suspicious. It concludes, firstly, that the BWC supports the efforts of international health organizations to enhance disease surveillance and response capacity worldwide. And secondly, that the BWC, rather than the World Health Organization (WHO), is the appropriate institution to deal with biological weapons allegations and investigations of suspicious outbreaks. The overall message is that securitization in the health sphere cuts both ways. Adding a security dimension (BW) alongside the task of detecting and responding to naturally occurring disease outbreaks is beneficial, but requiring a non-security organization (the WHO) to assume a security role would be counterproductive</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20961949</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>248</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">248</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eng, T.

Objective: To examine issues around managed care and STD prevention as a model for overcoming barriers that impede managed care organizations from providing comprehensive public health services and collaborating with health agencies. Setting: Two-day invitational workshop. Participants: Representatives from 18 health plans, 10 public health agencies, 6 academic institutions, 1 purchasing coalition, and 5 other health organizations. Results: Major obstacles include: turnover and heterogeneity in the health cal-e system; deficiencies in clinical knowledge and skills; differences in organizational culture and language; low priority of STDs; inadequate public health surveillance data and performance measures; confidentiality concerns; and lack of coverage for sex partners. Conclusions: Potential approaches for addressing these barriers include: requiring that STD-related services be covered by Medicaid managed care programs; implementing performance measures; requiring collaborative activities; promoting education of and outreach to stakeholders; funding of pilot projects; and researching the cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness of STD-related services for various populations.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 154JG&#xD;Times Cited: 10&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 45&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *AAHP, 1997, NUMB PEOPL ENR HMOS&#xD;     *ASTHO, 1995, ASTHO MAN CAR MON SE&#xD;     *ASTHO, 1995, COMM DIS CONTR MAN C&#xD;     *CDC, 1995, MMWR-MORBID MORTAL W, V44, P1&#xD;     *CDC, 1998, MMWR-MORBID MORTAL W, V47, P1&#xD;     *CDCP, 1996, MMWR-MORBID MORTAL W, V45, P883&#xD;     *QUAL IN DIV HLTH, 1997, ANN REP HLTH CAR QUA&#xD;     ANDERSON JE, 1994, SEX TRANSM DIS, V21, P303&#xD;     ASELTYNE WJ, 1995, J ACQ IMMUN DEF SYND, V8, S11&#xD;     BAILEY JE, 1996, J TENNESSEE MED ASS, V89, P122&#xD;     BEERY WL, 1996, PUBLIC HEALTH NURS, V13, P305&#xD;     BRESLOW L, 1996, HEALTH AFFAIR, V15, P92&#xD;     BRODENHEIMER TS, 1996, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V276, P1025&#xD;     BROOKS RJ, 1996, AM J MANAG CARE, V2, P365&#xD;     CATES JR, 1998, WOMEN HEALTH ISS, V8, P169&#xD;     CELUM CL, 1997, SEX TRANSM DIS, V24, P599&#xD;     CHAULK CP, 1997, J PUBLIC HLTH MANAGE, V3, P61&#xD;     DANIELSON R, 1990, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V22, P115&#xD;     DRAKE DF, 1997, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V277, P560&#xD;     DURCH JS, 1997, IMPROVING HLTH COMMU&#xD;     ENG TR, 1997, HIDDEN EPIDEMIC CONF&#xD;     FELDMAN R, 1996, INQUIRY-J HEALTH CAR, V33, P118&#xD;     FRIEDMAN E, 1997, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V277, P577&#xD;     FRIEDMAN MD, 1995, JOINT COMM J QUAL IM, V21, P635&#xD;     GOLD M, 1995, HLTH CARE FINANCING, V16, P85&#xD;     GORDON RL, 1996, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V17, P489&#xD;     GUNN RA, 1998, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V279, P680&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V112, P22&#xD;     HATCHER MT, 1995, HLTH CARE MANAG STAT, V2, P33&#xD;     HILLMAN AL, 1995, ACQUIR IMMUNE DEF S1, V8, S23&#xD;     IGELHART JK, 1995, NEW ENGL J MED, V332, P1727&#xD;     LEGORRETA AP, 1997, DIABETES CARE, V20, P520&#xD;     LIMATA C, 1997, J ACQ IMMUN DEF SYND, V15, P126&#xD;     MCNERNEY WJ, 1996, J HLTH ADM ED, V14, P77&#xD;     MORROW RW, 1995, ARCH FAM MED, V4, P165&#xD;     NOLAN PA, 1989, J HLTH SOCIAL POLICY, V1, P99&#xD;     ROSENBAUM S, NEGOTIATING NEW HLTH, V1&#xD;     SCHAUFFLER HH, 1996, HEALTH AFFAIR, V15, P73&#xD;     SCHOLES D, 1996, NEW ENGL J MED, V334, P1362&#xD;     SHOWSTACK J, 1996, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V276, P1071&#xD;     SISK JE, 1996, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V276, P50&#xD;     THOMPSON RS, 1995, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V273, P1130&#xD;     THOMPSON RS, 1996, MILBANK Q, V74, P469&#xD;     THOMPSON RS, 1997, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V277, P670&#xD;     WALKER B, 1997, J HEALTH CARE POOR U, V8, P345</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000077885300010</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>249</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">249</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enock, K.

STUDY DESIGN: Literature review. METHODS: A literature review was undertaken using all biomedical databases and a freetext search using Google to widen the search beyond peer-reviewed publications. Search terms used were: Olympics; Paralympics; mass gatherings; mass gathering medicine; sporting events; weather; planning; and organisation. Citations within articles were searched to identify additional references that would inform this review. This literature review concentrates on the public health aspects of population care at mass gatherings, particularly the Olympic and Paralympic Games which are set over several weeks, focusing on surveillance, prevention and health service quality. RESULTS: The literature identified 10 areas of public health planning: public health command centre and communication; surveillance, assessment and control; environmental health and safety; infectious disease outbreaks; implications of weather conditions; health promotion; travel information; economic assessments; public transport and reduction of asthma events; and preparing athletes for potential allergies. The following themes emerged as crucial factors for the success of any public health interventions at Olympic and Paralympic Games: detailed planning of deliverables; pre-identification of critical success factors; management of risk; detailed contingency planning; and full testing of all plans prior to the event. CONCLUSIONS: The 2012 Olympic Games will provide an exciting challenge for public health providers and systems. Preparation requires early detailed planning of policies, procedures and on-site health promotion events, in addition to helping to set up the surveillance and monitoring systems that will capture public health activity alongside medical activity. Learning from the literature review will support the identification of critical success factors and help to formulate recommendations that will allow optimal utilization of public health initiatives. All plans require full costings in advance which are supported by internal and external health-related agencies, voluntary organizations and sponsors. A risk assessment should be undertaken as part of the planning process leading to risk management plans for mitigating identified potential risks. All surveillance and monitoring systems, communication, policies and procedures will require full testing prior to commencement of the Games.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enock, K E&#xD;Jacobs, J&#xD;Review&#xD;England&#xD;Public health&#xD;Public Health. 2008 Nov;122(11):1229-38.

Since inputs flow from LHDs that vary substantially in size, organization, funding, and other characteristics, it is Reasonable to assume that these variable inputs may affect LHD performance or outcomes. Documenting this is becoming increasingly important as LHD accreditation is being seen as one approach to standardization of inputs. This article provides a literature Review of LHD performance measurement and attempts to identify LHD inputs (or characteristics) that impact performance or outcomes. The literature Review identified 23 articles on LHD performance, published in peer-reviewed journals since the 1988 Report on the Future of Public Health. The most common findings Related to LHD size, jurisdictional size, and funding: LHDs with larger staffs, serving populations of more than 50 000 persons, and with higher funding per capita were more often higher performing. Other notable characteristics of higher-performing LHDs included greater community interaction, having a director with higher academic degrees, and leadership functioning within a management team. Prospective studies that examine the linkages among LHD performance measurement, accreditation, and outcomes will be important in achieving performance improvement over time.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erwin, Paul Campbell&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2008 Mar-Apr;14(2):E9-18.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000311903.34067.89 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200803000-00022 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>251</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">251</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erwin, P.

To help prepare LHDs for accreditation, the National Association of County and City Health Officials has developed a self-assessment instrument on the basis of the Operational Definition of a Functioning Local Health Department. METHODS: The article is a case study, describing the inputs, processes, and outputs of using the self-assessment in an LHD in a manner that can be applicable to other settings. RESULTS: A seven-member work group conducted the self-assessment over an 11-week period, providing a total of 184 person-hours, with an equivalent cost of $8,565. The self-assessment was scored on the basis of indicators of performance of Essential Services and Standards. There were significant correlations between the scores on Essential Services and Standards with the scores on the documentary evidence that the indicators were being met (r = 0.7545, P = .0117; r = .7264, P &lt; .0001, respectively). CONCLUSION: Overall, the workgroup found the self-assessment tool to be useful, particularly for emphasizing the importance of documentation, and the process of conducting the self-assessment valuable for accreditation preparedness and for improving current internal communications and work practices.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erwin, Paul Campbell&#xD;Knox County Tennessee Work Group on Accreditation&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Nov-Dec;15(6):503-8.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> organization and structure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181aa282a [doi]&#xD;00124784-200911000-00009 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>252</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">252</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erwin, P.

One likely barrier to fostering such linkages is the absence of a clear framework that matches academic requirements to practice realities. This article describes how an academic-public health practice collaborative has used MAPP in a health planning course for Master of Public Health students over a 3-year period, allowing students the opportunity to work in communities with public health practitioners. The specific focus for each of these 3 years has varied, but underlying the work has been a consistent approach to teaching and working in communities with MAPP as the frame of reference. The outcome of this work has been of value to students and faculty, to public health department staff, and, most important, to the communities where this work has taken place. This suggests that there is great potential for using MAPP as a framework for establishing and strengthening academic-public health practice linkages.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erwin, Paul C&#xD;Hamilton, Charles B&#xD;Welch, Stephanie&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2005 Sep-Oct;11(5):437-41.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">00124784-200509000-00012 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>253</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">253</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erwin, P.

Both tools have been utilized in various public health practice settings; however, users have been challenged with the complexity of the tools and time and human resource investment necessary to complete them. The recent Journal of Public Health Management and Practice issue focus on MAPP provided several examples of LPHSA implementation, both as a component of MAPP and as a stand-alone activity in the context of performance standards. The uniqueness in our approach involved a collaborative between a community-based organization, a public health academic program, and a governmental public health agency which conducted the LPHSA in a manner that did not require actual modification of the tool itself, was practical and feasible, and was of benefit and value to all partners.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>254</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">254</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erwin, P.

Following CDC&apos;s guidelines for staffing and organizing the mass clinic, we provided 5,038 doses of ISG during a total of 24 hours of clinic operation, using 3,467 person-hours, or 1.45 ISG doses per person-hour-very close to the 1.58 doses per person-hour targeted in CDC&apos;s smallpox post-event clinic plans.

Exploring the role of private nonprofits in community-based research is especially relevant due to current economic challenges that have caused increasing need for human services, dwindling resources available to meet those needs, and even greater pressures on nonprofit and public organization administrators to prioritize limited resources and services. This article provides an overview of human service needs assessments--their purpose, benefits, problems, and strategies--and it reviews one exemplar human service needs assessment that may serve as a model for nonprofit and government administrators who are responsible for monitoring and responding to the health and human services needs of local communities and regions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eschenfelder, Beth E&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of health and human services administration&#xD;J Health Hum Serv Adm. 2010 Spring;32(4):405-46.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organization and structure </style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>256</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">256</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Etkind, P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arias, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagley, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, M.

ENCHIA resulted in a number of outcomes, including (1) a vision of a healthy San Francisco; (2) community health objectives to reflect the vision; (3) indicators and data to assess and measure the objectives and vision; (4) a menu of urban development strategies to advance the objectives; and (5) the Healthy Development Measurement Tool, an evidence-based tool to support accountable, comprehensive, evidence-based, and health-oriented planning. This case study describes the 18-month ENCHIA process, key outcomes, and lessons learned. The case study also provides an overview of the Healthy Development Measurement Tool and examples of its first applications to urban planning. Given the growing understanding of built environmental influences on health, ENCHIA illustrates the ability of a local public health agency to effectively engage in land use policy as a health promotion strategy.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farhang, Lili&#xD;Bhatia, Rajiv&#xD;Scully, Cyndy Comerford&#xD;Corburn, Jason&#xD;Gaydos, Megan&#xD;Malekafzali, Shireen&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2008 May-Jun;14(3):255-65.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000316484.72759.7b [doi]&#xD;00124784-200805000-00009 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>784</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">784</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Federico, S.

METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of data from an immunization registry for patients aged 12-18 years. Patients were assigned to either an SBHC or a CHC during the study interval based on utilization. We used bivariate analysis to compare immunization series completion rates between the 2 groups and multivariate analysis to compare risk factors for underimmunization. We performed subanalyses by ages 12-15 years versus ages 16-18 years for human papillomavirus (HPV) and for the combination of HPV; tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis (Tdap); and tetravalent meningococcus virus. RESULTS: SBHC users had significantly higher completion rates (P&lt;.001) for hepatitis B, Tdap, inactivated poliovirus, varicella, measles/mumps/rubella, and HPV for ages 16-18 years, and for the combination of HPV, Tdap, and MCV4 for ages 16-18 years. CHC users had higher completion rates for tetanus and diphtheria. CONCLUSIONS: SBHCs had higher completion rates than did CHCs for immunization series among those aged 12-18 years, despite serving a population with limited insurance coverage.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Federico, Steven G&#xD;Abrams, Lisa&#xD;Everhart, Rachel M&#xD;Melinkovich, Paul&#xD;Hambidge, Simon J&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Multicenter Study&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 Sep;100(9):1630-4.

Patients&apos; perceptions of, and comfort level with, literacy testing have not been well established. The aim of this study was to assess patient attitudes about literacy assessments in a primary care clinic and a community-based wellness program and to explore whether patients preferred one assessment tool over another. Participant recruitment occurred at a general internal medicine clinic and two community settings (YMCAs) in the southeast. Two literacy measures (Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine and Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults) and a questionnaire to assess opinions on the instruments were administered. Most participants were comfortable having their literacy assessed and indicated that it would be useful for practitioners to know the literacy levels of patients. A sizable minority (10%) were concerned that such testing in health care settings may be inappropriate. An additional finding was that self-reported reading skills of participants did not correspond to actual reading scores. Patients recognize the importance of literacy in their health care and most are comfortable with literacy assessments.

Knowing the mechanism is useful in identifying the most appropriate analysis. The first aim was to compare different methods for identifying this missing data mechanism to determine if they gave consistent conclusions. Secondly, to investigate whether the reminder-response data can be utilised to help identify the missing data mechanism. METHODS: Five clinical trial datasets that employed a reminder system at follow-up were used. Some quality of life questionnaires were initially missing, but later recovered through reminders. Four methods of determining the missing data mechanism were applied. Two response data scenarios were considered. Firstly, immediate data only; secondly, all observed responses (including reminder-response). RESULTS: In three of five trials the hypothesis tests found evidence against the MCAR assumption. Logistic regression suggested MAR, but was able to use the reminder-collected data to highlight potential MNAR data in two trials. CONCLUSION: The four methods were consistent in determining the missingness mechanism. One hypothesis test was preferred as it is applicable with intermittent missingness. Some inconsistencies between the two data scenarios were found. Ignoring the reminder data could potentially give a distorted view of the missingness mechanism. Utilising reminder data allowed the possibility of MNAR to be considered.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fielding, Shona&#xD;Fayers, Peter M&#xD;Ramsay, Craig R&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;England&#xD;Health and quality of life outcomes&#xD;Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2009 Jun 22;7:57.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Technology and Methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1477-7525-7-57 [pii]&#xD;10.1186/1477-7525-7-57 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>264</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">264</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Findley, S.

Fifty street segments were observed a second time for a reliability analysis.&#xD;&#xD;MEASURE: The Pedestrian Environmental Data Scan (PEDS), a previously tested instrument for conducting audits of the built environment for physical-activity supports, was used. Modifications were made for use in rural settings.&#xD;&#xD;ANALYSIS: Four tests of reliability (Kappa [</style><style face="normal" font="default" charset="161" size="100%">κ]; prevalence-adjusted, bias-adjusted κ [PABAK]; percent agreement; and Spearman rho [ρ]) and one test of internal consistency (Cronbach α) were used.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Nineteen measures were identified for their utility in the rural setting. These measures had an average κ of .43, an average PABAK of .72, and an average percent agreement of 86.2%, indicating good agreement. They were organized into four subscale areas that had Spearman ρ ranging from moderate (ρ </style><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> =  .38) to strong (</style><style face="normal" font="default" charset="161" size="100%">ρ </style><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> =  .66).

This is a collaborative research development effort by the University of Kentucky School of Public Health, the Center for Health Services Management and Research, the Department of Family Practice &amp; Community Medicine, and the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration. The aims of the project are: (1) To improve faculty capacity to develop research ideas into fundable applications and written publications; (2) To promote the collaboration of physicians with other health services researchers across campus; and (3) To cultivate research ideas from the Kentucky Ambulatory Network (KAN) into research designs and fundable applications. This project includes three Investigator-Initiated Projects. (1) A two-year project, &quot;Designing Support for Colorectal Screening Decisions,&quot; proposes to explore how providers make decisions regarding colorectal cancer screening and develop decision aids to inform providers&apos; decisions to deliver and patients&apos; decisions to utilize colorectal cancer screening. (2) A three-year project, &quot;Quality Improvement in Telephone Medicine,&quot; proposes to advance the state of knowledge about telephone medicine in the ambulatory practice setting. The project will (a) analyze the telephone medicine systems at the University of Kentucky from a systems perspective, looking for potential threats to patient safety and (b) develop and field-test a systems-based method for evaluating and redesigning the handling of telephone calls in a residency setting to maximize patient safety and efficiency. (3) A one-year project in year three, &quot;Participatory Development of a Generic Detailing Program with a Primary Care Research Network,&quot; will distribute generic drug samples in an office-based primary care research network and track the effect of generic sampling on physician and patient behavior. Each of these three projects involves the collaboration of academic family physicians with health services research scientists at the University of Kentucky. The three projects address AHRQ research priorities of prevention, patient safety/quality, and translational research involving costs respectively.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)&#xD;R24HS011845-03</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grant</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ahrq.gov/</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>266</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">266</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ford, E.

Nowhere is this more evident than among state health agencies. State health agencies were encouraged to change the way they operate by the 1988 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on The-Future of Public Health. This report portrayed public health as being in disarray. To-address maJor deficiencies identified by the IOM study, some public health leaders have reevaluated their environments, reconfigured their organizations, and adopted a strategic mindset. The purpose of this research is to explore the various organizational configurations of state health agencies. Replicating methods used in studies of private sector organizations, five distinct strategic configurations or archetypes were identified. This comprehensive public health agency taxonomy will assist future researchers in analyzing public health organizations&apos; environments, structures, and strategies.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 645GJ&#xD;Times Cited: 3&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 56&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *CDCP, 1994, PUBL HLTH COR FUNCT&#xD;     *HLTH RES SERV ADM, 2001, STAT PROF&#xD;     *I MED, 1988, FUT PUBL HLTH&#xD;     *I MED, 2002, ASS HLTH PUBL 21ST C&#xD;     *PUBL HLTH FDN, 1986, PUBL HLTH AG, V2&#xD;     *PUBL HLTH FDN, 1986, PUBL HLTH AG, V4&#xD;     *PUBL HLTH FDN, 1986, PUBL HTLH AG, V1&#xD;     *STRAT PLANN STEER, 1998, STRAT PLAN&#xD;     *US CENS BUR, 2000, STAT COUNT FACTS&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 2000, HLTH PEOPL 2010, V1&#xD;     ALDENDERFER MS, 1984, CLUSTER ANAL&#xD;     ALLBAUGH JM, 2001, STATE CAPABILITY ASS&#xD;     ANDERSON P, 1999, ORGAN SCI, V10, P216&#xD;     BELSHE SK, 1998, STRATEGIC PLAN UPDAT&#xD;     BETTIS RA, 1996, STRATEGIC MANAGE J, V17, P503&#xD;     BROOKS RG, 1999, AGENCY STRATEGIC PLA&#xD;     BROOKS RG, 2000, 1999 YEAR REV&#xD;     DAFT RL, 1992, ORG THEORY DESIGN&#xD;     DOTY DH, 1994, ACAD MANAGE REV, V19, P230&#xD;     ELDER J, 1995, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V269, P2293&#xD;     FLEISHMAN EA, 1984, TAXONOMIES HUMAN PER&#xD;     GLEASON S, 1999, STRATEGIC PLAN 2000&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113&#xD;     HAMBRICK DC, 1984, J MANAGE, V10, P27&#xD;     HANDLER AS, 1996, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V17, P460&#xD;     HARRIGAN KR, 1985, STRATEGIC MANAGE J, V6, P55&#xD;     HOGAN CD, 1999, YEAR 2000 TIME ASSES&#xD;     LAW KS, 1999, ACAD MANAGE REV, V4, P741&#xD;     MCKELVEY B, 1975, ADM SCI Q, V20, P509&#xD;     MEYER AD, 1993, ACAD MANAGE J, V36, P1175&#xD;     MILES RE, 1978, ORG STRATEGY STRUCTU&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1993, PUBLIC HEALTH REP, V108, P695&#xD;     MILLER D, 1984, ORG QUANTUM VIEW&#xD;     MILLER D, 1986, ORGAN STUD, V7, P255&#xD;     MILLER D, 1986, ORGAN STUD, V7, P37&#xD;     MILLER D, 1986, STRATEGIC MANAGE J, V7, P233&#xD;     MILLER D, 1996, STRATEGIC MANAGE J, V17, P505&#xD;     MINTZBERG H, 2001, STRATEGIC THINKING N, P33&#xD;     NICHOLS DP, 1998, SPSS KEYWORDS, V67&#xD;     NOLAN PA, 1999, PUBLIC HLTH RHODE IS&#xD;     PEDHAZUR EJ, 1991, MEASUREMENT DESIGN A&#xD;     PORTER ME, 1980, COMPETITIVE STRATEGY&#xD;     REEVES TC, J BUSINESS RES&#xD;     REEVES TC, 1996, THESIS U ALABAMA BIR&#xD;     RICH P, 1992, ACAD MANAGE REV, V17, P758&#xD;     RUBIN RJ, 1988, FUTURE PUBLIC HLTH, P161&#xD;     SCOTT HD, 1990, J PUBLIC HLTH POLICY, V11, P296&#xD;     SCUTCHFIELD FD, 1997, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V18, P13&#xD;     SCUTCHFIELD FD, 1997, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V18, P155&#xD;     SHORTELL SM, 1990, ACAD MANAGE J, V33, P817&#xD;     SIMON HA, 1996, SCI ARTIFICIAL&#xD;     STOTO MA, 1996, HTLH COMMUNITIES NEW&#xD;     STUMBO S, 1998, KENTUCKY PUBLIC HLTH&#xD;     SUTTON RI, 1995, ADMIN SCI QUART, V40, P371&#xD;     WALL S, 1998, HEALTH AFFAIR, V17, P64&#xD;     WEICK KE, 1995, ADMIN SCI QUART, V40, P385</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000180967600002</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>267</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">267</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ford, E.

Maintaining effective cooperation in such alliances poses special problems that can be examined using network analysis and explained in game theory terms. A mental health coalition case study is presented using network analysis and game theory interpretations. Had a positive-sum game approach been applied to the coalition&apos;s initial design, its subsequent suboptimal performance might have been averted. The application of network analysis plus a game theoretic paradigm has significant implications for improving both the design and the coordination of such coalitions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 822DQ&#xD;Times Cited: 3&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 19&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     BALA V, 2000, ECONOMETRICA, V68, P1181&#xD;     BIGELOW B, 1995, PUBLIC ADMIN REV, V55, P183&#xD;     BRASS DJ, 1993, ACAD MANAGE J, V36, P441&#xD;     BROWN R, 2001, ADDRESSING SUBSTANCE&#xD;     BURNS RJ, 2001, BUREAU PRIMARY HLTH, P12&#xD;     CABLE DM, 1997, ACAD MANAGE REV, V22, P142&#xD;     GALASKIEWICZ J, 1979, EXCHANGE NETWORKS CO&#xD;     GINTIS H, 2000, GAME THEORY EVOLVING&#xD;     GULATI R, 1998, STRATEGIC MANAGE J, V19, P293&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113&#xD;     MAYS GP, 2000, INQUIRY-J HEALTH CAR, V37, P389&#xD;     MYERSON RB, 1977, MATH OPER RES, V2, P225&#xD;     PARKER VA, 2001, J HEALTHC MANAG, V46, P261&#xD;     SCOTT J, 2000, SOCIAL NETWORK ANAL&#xD;     SHORTELL SM, 1996, REMAKING HLTH CARE A&#xD;     WEECHMALDONADO R, 2000, J HEALTHC MANAG, V45, P189&#xD;     WEINER BJ, 1998, HEALTH CARE MANAGE R, V23, P39&#xD;     WEINER BJ, 2000, HEALTH CARE MANAGE R, V25, P48&#xD;     YIN RK, 1994, CASE STUDY RES DESIG, V5</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000221516200009</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>268</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">268</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foster-Fishman, P.

This study examines the factors associated with citizen participation levels in resident leaders and followers in seven low-income neighborhoods in one community. Overall, the findings suggest that different factors facilitate participation in leaders and followers. Leaders are more likely to actively participate in neighborhood and community affairs if they perceive themselves as having the skills needed to organize others and make change happen. Whereas perceived skill levels also matter for followers, these residents are strongly influenced by the norms for activism within their neighborhood. These norms mediate the impact of neighborhood readiness and capacity for change on citizen participation levels. Implications for funders and practitioners interested in promoting healthy communities are discussed.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foster-Fishman, Pennie G&#xD;Pierce, Steven J&#xD;Van Egeren, Laurie A&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Health education &amp; behavior : the official publication of the Society for Public Health Education&#xD;Health Educ Behav. 2009 Jun;36(3):550-69.

If public health&apos;s effectiveness and profile are to grow, practitioners and researchers will need reliable, timely information with which to make information-driven decisions, better ways to communicate, and improved tools to analyze and present new knowledge. &quot;Public Health Informatics&quot; (PHI) is the science of applying Information-Age technology to serve the specialized needs of public health. In this paper we define Public Health Informatics, outline specific benefits that may accrue from its widespread application, and discuss why and how an academic discipline of public health informatics should be developed.

Reducing these inequities in health requires attention to the unfair distribution of power, money, and resources and the conditions of everyday life. These are the social determinants of health. The World Health Organization (WHO) Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) brought together a global evidence base of what could be done to reduce these health inequities, demonstrating that economic and social policy, if done well, can improve health and health equity. A global movement for health equity was reignited by the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health when it made a call to action upon delivering its final report</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21219162</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>274</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">274</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gable, L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gostin, L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hodge, J.

Law impacts the lives of persons living with (and at risk of) HIV/AIDS in many ways. Laws may: (1) help to ensure that public health authorities are empowered to provide effective prevention and treatment programmes; (2) effectuate the human rights to life, health, work, education and property ownership of persons living with, or at risk of, HIV/AIDS; and (3) protect persons living with HIV/AIDS from social risks, stigma and other harms by respecting privacy and prohibiting unwarranted discrimination. However, laws can also create legal barriers in many countries that impede effective HIV/AIDS interventions by penalizing those with HIV/AIDS through criminal sanctions or other policies. As a result, it is recommended globally that laws should facilitate the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS consistent with scientific and public health practices and with a human rights framework. Effective use of existing laws that promote the public&apos;s health, and reforms of laws which impede it, contribute to improved individual and communal health outcomes concerning HIV/AIDS.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gable, L&#xD;Gostin, L&#xD;Hodge, J G Jr&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Netherlands&#xD;Public health&#xD;Public Health. 2009 Mar;123(3):260-4.

The Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH), the American Public Health Association, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, the National Association of County and City Health Officials, and the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research joined together to establish the National Board of Public Health Examiners (5). This new body will certify graduates of accredited schools and programs of public health who successfully pass their examination. If this certification becomes common, the debate will move to other questions such as (a) can those who lack a degree from a school of public health be certified through the same examination, or a similar one; (b) how will this general certificate relate to specialized areas of public health practice which are also learned elsewhere; and (c) how will we assess the public health competence of public health workers who do not have a professional education?</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gebbie, Kristine M&#xD;United States&#xD;Annual review of public health&#xD;Annu Rev Public Health. 2009 Apr 29;30:203-10.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organization and structure </style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>280</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">280</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gebbie, K.

Such information is also a critical data element in public health systems research, a growing area of study that can inform the practice of public health at all levels. However, methodologic and institutional issues challenge the development of comparable indicators for the federal, state, and local public health workforce. A 2006-2007 Association of State and Territorial Health Officials workforce enumeration pilot project demonstrated the issues involved in collecting workforce data. This project illustrated key elements of an institutionalized national system of workforce enumeration, which would be needed for a robust, recurring count that provides a national picture of the public health workforce.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gebbie, Kristine M&#xD;Raziano, Amanda&#xD;Elliott, Sterling&#xD;467-MZ-601122/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;NLM-06-146-UHP/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;U50/CCU31390/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 May;99(5):786-7.

This largesse has been accompanied by the need for greater accountability for results. The size, composition, and distribution of the public health workforce have long been policy concerns. Production and retention of public health workers remain important issues, although new dimensions of readiness are also taking center stage.

To improve reporting to the New York State (NYS) Occupational Lung Disease Registry (OLDR), the NYS Department of Health&apos;s Bureau of Occupational Health initiated a multimedia campaign to increase case ascertainment and establish communication channels and partnerships for conducting prevention. The outreach campaign was successful in raising physician awareness about the OLDR, familiarizing physicians with reporting forms and procedures, and increasing physician reporting. It also raised awareness of the contribution of occupational factors to respiratory illness and other conditions. However, while our evaluation indicated it is possible to affect short-term outcomes, such as knowledge, attitudes, and behavior among health-care providers, the campaign was not as successful in promoting sustained reporting.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21337928</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>283</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">283</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">George, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Springer, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haughton, B.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Nutrition, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. ageorge3@utk.edu</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retirement intentions of the public health nutrition workforce</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Public Health Manag Pract</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Public Health Manag Pract</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">127-34</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009/02/10</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dietary Services/ manpower</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dietetics/ manpower</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Government Agencies</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health/ manpower</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retirement/ statistics &amp; numerical data/trends</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mar-Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1550-5022 (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19202413</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BACKGROUND: High retirement rates are anticipated throughout public health as baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) near retirement. Predicting retirement intention would aid workforce planning. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Participants were nutrition professionals/paraprofessionals 45 years and older in nutrition programs under official health agencies&apos; authority who participated in a census enumeration and released their data for research. Secondary data analysis was conducted using selected factors from Beehr&apos;s Model of Retirement Behavior to determine whether significant (P &lt; or = .05) differences exist for and can be used to predict retirement intention (within 10 years) and years until intended retirement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Of the 4,460 individuals, 47.2% intended to retire within 10 years. Retirement intention was predicted by age category, years of experience in nutrition/dietetics and public health nutrition, agency type, retirement and vacation benefits, time in direct services, US Department of Health and Human Services region, and full-time/part-time status. Years until intended retirement was predicted by age category, years of nutrition/dietetics and public health nutrition experience, required training, and time in direct services. Results suggest retirement rates similar to the public health workforce overall. Findings can be used by managers/administrators to prepare their organizations for worker retirement or to influence retirement intention. Further research is necessary to determine other factors impacting retirement decision.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">George, Alexa&#xD;Springer, Cary&#xD;Haughton, Betsy&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, Non-P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Mar-Apr;15(2):127-34.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000346010.51651.13 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200903000-00009 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>284</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">284</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerberding, J.

Our goal in this study was to determine whether this trend persisted in 2000.&#xD;&#xD;METHODS: We analyzed death certificate and census data to estimate age-standardized all-cause and cause-specific mortality among 16- to 64-year-old Blacks and Whites nationwide and in selected urban and rural high-poverty areas.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Urban men&apos;s mortality rate estimates peaked in 1990 and declined between 1990 and 2000 back to or below 1980 levels. Evidence of excess mortality declines among urban or rural women and among rural men was modest, with some increases. Between 1980 and 2000, there was little decline in chronic disease mortality among men and women in most areas, and in some instances there were increases.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: In 2000, despite improved economic conditions, working-age residents of the study areas still died disproportionately of early onset of chronic disease, suggesting an entrenched burden of disease and unmet health care needs. The lack of consistent improvement in death rates among working-age residents of high-poverty areas since 1980 necessitates reflection and concerted action given that sustainable progress has been elusive for this age group</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21389293</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>288</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">288</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gervas, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rico, A.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fundac Formac Org Med Colegial, Equipo CESCA, E-28014 Madrid, Spain.

The authors used data from the National Association of County and City Health Officials&apos; 1992-1993 national survey of LHDs. The study concludes that nurses, environmental specialists, sanitarians, and administrators constitute the core of the public health workforce in smaller and mid-sized LHDs. Numerous vacancies in these core occupations signal a weakness in the front lines of public health and vulnerability in its ability to respond to urgent health threats. To address these problems, a renewed commitment to recruiting, retraining, and retaining the local public health worker is urgently needed.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerzoff, R B&#xD;Brown, C K&#xD;Baker, E L&#xD;U50/CCU302718/United States PHS&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United states&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 1999 May;5(3):1-9.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>290</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">290</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerzoff, R.

METHODS: Staff members in 18 local health departments were trained to use an online geographic information system (GIS) and conduct field surveys. GIS data were aggregated from 68 low-income neighborhoods of 1 or more census tracts. Data were collected in 2007 to 2009 from 473 grocery stores in 62 neighborhoods. RESULTS: Thirty-one percent of neighborhoods mapped had no supermarket within any of their census tract boundaries, but health department staff members estimated that 74.2% of residents had access to a large grocery store within 1 mile. Eighty-one percent of small markets sold produce, and 67.6% offered 4 or more types of fresh vegetables. CONCLUSIONS: Small markets and corner stores in California&apos;s low-income neighborhoods often have fresh produce available for sale. Stores providing healthy options in typically underserved areas can be part of community efforts to promote healthy eating behaviors.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghirardelli, Alyssa&#xD;Quinn, Valerie&#xD;Foerster, Susan B&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, Non-P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 Nov;100(11):2156-62.

This subfield of labor economics is based on a strong foundation of microeconomics, which provides a robust theoretical foundation for studying workforce and organizational design issues. PE has evolved on this foundation to a strong practical emphasis, with theoretical insights designed for practical use and with strong focus on empirical research. The field is also characterized by creative data entrepreneurship. The types of datasets that personnel economists use are described. If similar datasets can be obtained for public sector workforces, PE should be a very useful approach for studying them.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gibbs, Michael&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Nov;15(6 Suppl):S73-8.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">workforce </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181b3a4c6 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200911001-00017 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>292</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">292</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ginsburg, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goold, S.

The Just Coverage project used a computer-based simulation exercise to learn how nearly 800 community members in northern California identified the inclusions and exclusions that would constitute basic coverage. Working with a limited budget, participants distinguished essential from nonessential health care needs, resisted high patient cost sharing, and tolerated tight restrictions on provider choice. They also supported practice guidelines and standards of effectiveness, and they excluded high-cost, low-value interventions.

In 2003, the Board of Health in Pierce County, Washington State, adopted a resolution prohibiting indoor smoking in all public places. Assessment activities were used in three key steps during the secondhand smoke policy development process: (1) setting prevention priorities, (2) monitoring and evaluating interventions, and (3) adopting local policy change. METHODS: Step 1 included calculating attributable risks for morbidity and mortality caused by preventable health behaviors. Step 2 involved designing logic models and outcomes-based evaluations to collect and analyze data from prevention efforts. Surveillance of restaurants documented voluntary adoption of smoke-free policies. Step 3 included conducting telephone surveys to track public support for tobacco policy approaches. FINDINGS: Results demonstrated tobacco&apos;s high impact on morbidity and mortality, illustrated a plateau of restaurants&apos; voluntary smoke-free policies, and identified growing public support for secondhand smoke policy. Assessment results were included in multiple policy and support documents and cited by Board of Health members during policy adoption.

This study investigated the longitudinal relations between hospital financial performance outcomes and three hospital-physician integration strategies: physician involvement in hospital governance, hospital ownership by physicians, and the integration of hospital-physician financial relationships. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SETTING. Using secondary data from the State of California, integration strategies in approximately 300 California short-term acute care hospitals were tracked over a ten-year period (1981-1990). STUDY DESIGN. The study used an archival design. Hospital performance was measured on three dimensions: operational profitability, occupancy, and costs. Thirteen control variables were used in the analyses: market competition, affluence, and rurality; hospital ownership; teaching costs and intensity; multihospital system membership; hospital size; outpatient service mix; patient volume case mix; Medicare and Medicaid intensity; and managed care intensity. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION. Financial and utilization data were obtained from the State of California, which requires annual hospital reports. A series of longitudinal regressions tested the hypotheses. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS. Considerable variation was found in the popularity of the three strategies and their ability to predict hospital performance outcomes. Physician involvement in hospital governance increased modestly from 1981-1990, while ownership and financial integration declined significantly. Physician governance was associated with greater occupancy and higher operating margins, while financial integration was related to lower hospital operating costs. Direct physician ownership, particularly in small hospitals, was associated with lower operating margins and higher costs. Subsample analyses indicate that implementation of the Medicare prospective payment system in 1983 had a major impact on these relationships, especially on the benefits of financial integration. CONCLUSIONS. The findings support the validity of hospital-physician financial integration efforts, and to a lesser extent the involvement of physicians in hospital governance. The results lend considerably less support for strategies built around direct physician ownership in hospitals, particularly since PPS implementation. RELEVANCE/IMPACT. These findings challenge prior studies that found few financial benefits to hospital-physician integration prior to PPS implementation in 1983. The results imply that financial benefits of integration may take several years after implementation to emerge, are most salient in a managed care or managed competition environment, and vary by hospital size and multihospital system membership.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goes, J B&#xD;Zhan, C&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, Non-P.H.S.&#xD;Review&#xD;United states&#xD;Health services research&#xD;Health Serv Res. 1995 Oct;30(4):507-30.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>296</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">296</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goldman, R.

METHODS: Sixty students were divided into 6 online blog groups. Students posted their assignments (case analyses, news commentaries), prompting comments from other students. Anonymous poll surveys of students were conducted at midpoint and at the end of the course. RESULTS: Sixty percent reported that blog participation enriched their learning quite a bit, 34% a small amount, and 6% not at all; 54% said that the blogs provided opportunities to learn from classmates. When comparing writing on the blog to speaking in class, 60% found it easier, 30% about the same, and 10% harder. About 65% said that skills attained by participating in blogs were useful for current or future work. Major criticisms involved time issues. CONCLUSIONS: Small seminar blogs offer opportunities for increased student participation, interaction, and learning. To be most effective and appealing, assignments for postings need to allow sufficient time for commentary. This educational technology has potential to expand the classroom experience and is worthy of further development and testing.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure, Infrastructure&#xD;Finance&#xD;Workforce&#xD;Technology, Data, Methods</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>297</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">297</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goldsmith, L.

The effects of the proposed rule overall and on rural communities were examined, particularly with respect to current whole county HPSA designations and eligibility for federal assistance programs. National, county-level estimates of primary care provider counts and other measures included in the proposed rule were used. Different primary care provider sources were compared; results were highly dependent on the data source and the inclusions of counts of nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The projections of losses from the proposed rule were higher than those of the BPHC, probably due to the use of different sources for provider counts. Overall, the authors projected that more than 50 percent of current whole-county HPSAs would lose designation using the proposed rule. The proportion of rural counties that lost designation was not significantly greater than the proportion of urban counties, but because there are many more rural counties, more de-designations were projected to occur in rural areas. The researchers also predicted that 58 percent of rural whole-county HPSAs with National Health Service Corps providers would lose their designation, but most rural whole-county HPSAs with Community and Migrant Health Centers or Rural Health Clinics retained their MUP designation using the proposed rule. The proposed rule likely has a larger effect on current designations than originally projected by the BPHC.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goldsmith, L J&#xD;Ricketts, T C&#xD;United states&#xD;The Journal of rural health : official journal of the American Rural Health Association and the National Rural Health Care Association&#xD;J Rural Health. 1999 Winter;15(1):44-54.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>298</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">298</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gollust, S.

By specifying which capacities provide optimum leverage, community initiatives may increase precision in developing intervention strategies that focus on those pivotal capacities that are necessary for producing desired outcomes. First, community capacity is defined and briefly contrasted with social capital. Then the research method is described from which the capacity construct is derived. The study reveals several capacities of community-based initiatives that are crucial in distinguishing highly successful initiatives from those that had greater difficulty in realizing their goals. Leadership was the most important capacity that distinguished highly and less successful initiatives. Organizing capacity, or the propensity to provide structure, operational procedures, oversight, and activity formation were also critical in leveraging community action and desired outcomes. The study concludes that developing high levels of community capacity where it can produce the most strategic advantage is a promising pathway for mitigating antagonistic social factors.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goodman, Robert M&#xD;CCU615784/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Mar-Apr;15(2):E1-8.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization Structure and Infrastructure&#xD;Data Technology and Methods&#xD;</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000346019.12641.1f [doi]&#xD;00124784-200903000-00018 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>300</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">300</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goody, B.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Office of Research, Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), Baltimore, MD 21207.</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Defining rural hospital markets</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Serv Res</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Serv Res</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">183-200</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1993/06/01</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catchment Area (Health)/economics/ statistics &amp; numerical data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Economic Competition/economics/organization &amp; administration/statistics &amp;</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">numerical data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geography</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Facility Closure/economics/statistics &amp; numerical data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hospitals, Rural/classification/economics/ organization &amp;</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">administration/statistics &amp; numerical data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Logistic Models</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medicare/economics/organization &amp; administration/statistics &amp; numerical data</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Organizational</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Postal Service/classification</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Residence Characteristics</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Small-Area Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Socioeconomic Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1993</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0017-9124 (Print)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8514499</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to examine the geographic scope of rural hospital markets. DATA SOURCES. The study uses 1988 Medicare patient discharge records (MedPAR) and hospital financial information (HCRIS) for all rural hospitals participating in the Medicare Program. STUDY DESIGN. Hospital-specific market areas are compared to county-based market areas using a series of geographic and socioeconomic-demographic dimensions as well as indicators of market competitiveness. The potential impact of alternative market configurations on health services research is explored by estimating a model of rural hospital closure. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS. Hospital-specific market areas were defined using the zip code of patient origin. Zip code-level data were subsequently aggregated to the market level. FINDINGS. Using the county as the hospital market area results not only in the inclusion of areas from which the hospital does not draw patients but also in the exclusion of areas from which it does draw patients. The empirical estimation of a model of rural hospital closure shows that the definition of a hospital market area does not jeopardize the ability to identify major risk factors for closure. CONCLUSIONS. Market area definition may be key to identifying and monitoring populations at risk from rural hospital decisions to downsize or close their facilities. Further research into the market areas of rural hospitals that have closed would help to develop alternative, and perhaps more relevant, definitions of the population at risk.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goody, B&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;United states&#xD;Health services research&#xD;Health Serv Res. 1993 Jun;28(2):183-200.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>301</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">301</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goold, S.

This question is difficult because our pluralistic, liberal society has no consensus on a conception of distributive justice. In this article I focus on an alternative: Who shall decide how to ration health care, and how shall this be done to respect autonomy, pluralism, liberalism, and fairness? I explore three processes for making rationing decisions: cost-utility analysis, informed democratic decision making, and applications of the veil of ignorance. I evaluate these processes as examples of procedural justice, assuming that there is no outcome considered the most just. I use consent as a criterion to judge competing processes so that rationing decisions are, to some extent, self-imposed. I also examine the processes&apos; feasibility in our current health care system. Cost-utility analysis does not meet criteria for actual or presumed consent, even if costs and health-related utility could be measured perfectly. Existing structures of government cannot creditably assimilate the information required for sound rationing decisions, and grassroots efforts are not representative. Applications of the veil of ignorance are more useful for identifying principles relevant to health care rationing than for making concrete rationing decisions. I outline a process of decision making, specifically for health care, that relies on substantive, selected representation, respects pluralism, liberalism, and deliberative democracy, and could be implemented at the community or organizational level.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goold, S D&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, Non-P.H.S.&#xD;Review&#xD;United states&#xD;Journal of health politics, policy and law&#xD;J Health Polit Policy Law. 1996 Spring;21(1):69-98.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>302</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">302</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goold, S.

Participants work individually and then in groups to distribute a limited number of pegs on a board as they select from a wide range of insurance options. Randomly distributed health events illustrate the consequences of insurance choices. In 1999-2000, the authors conducted fifty sessions of CHAT involving 592 residents of North Carolina. The exercise was rated highly regarding ease of use, informativeness, and enjoyment. Participants found the information believable and complete, thought the group decision-making process was fair, and were willing to abide by group decisions. CHAT holds promise as a tool to foster group deliberation, generate collective choices, and incorporate the preferences and values of consumers into allocation decisions.

Patients repeatedly emphasize the importance of trust in health care institutions and personnel. OBJECTIVES: (1) Develop a conceptual framework for trust in health care organizations and a comprehensive, reliable measure of trust in health insurers. (2) Examine predictors and correlates of trust in insurers. STUDY DESIGN: A conceptual framework for trust in health organizations based on theory and empirical studies was used to develop items for a structured telephone survey, which also included measures of health and utilization, doctor-patient trust, and satisfaction with care. Principal components factor analyses identified hypothesized domains of trust in health insurers and identified items for scales. Internal consistency assessment used Cronbach&apos;s alpha. Univariate analyses used Pearson&apos;s r or Student&apos;s t-tests. SAMPLE: Insured residents of Southeastern Michigan (n=400). RESULTS: Respondents were diverse in age, gender, ethnicity, health, and socioeconomic status. One dominant factor (eigenvalue&gt;10) included hypothesized domains: administrative competence, clinical competence, advocacy and beneficence, fairness, honesty and openness, and one global item. Multidimensional scales were reliable (long version 13 items, alpha=0.95, short: 9 items, alpha=0.91). Insurer trust correlated strongly with trust in doctors (r=0.49 and 0.46) and satisfaction with care (r=0.70 and 0.66), and with an item assessing overall worry about health insurance (r=-0.37 and -0.35). Those with less trust in their insurer were more likely to say that they would change insurance plans (p&lt;.001). CONCLUSIONS: This well-grounded, reliable measure of enrollee trust in insurers can be a useful patient-centered assessment tool.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goold, Susan Dorr&#xD;Fessler, David&#xD;Moyer, Cheryl A&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Health services research&#xD;Health Serv Res. 2006 Feb;41(1):58-78.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HESR456 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1475-6773.2005.00456.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>304</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">304</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goold, S.

In complex and technical areas, however, individuals may base decisions more on trust than informed choice. We interviewed enrollees in managed care plans in Southeast Michigan, United States, to explore in detail their expectations and experiences in choosing and using their health plan. Diverse subjects participated in semi-structured interviews about health insurance choices, experiences, and expectations. Results are presented for the theme of trust (and distrust), which emerged spontaneously in discussions about health care and health insurance. Forty subjects diverse in age, ethnicity, and income took part in 31 interviews. Interviewees mentioned many of the elements of interpersonal trust in specific physicians, often in the context of discussions about care experiences, doctor payment, and conflict of interest. Elements included physical and emotional vulnerability, expectations of goodwill, advocacy and competence. and belief in professional ethics. Trust in the medical profession had more hesitancy, and often included mention of honesty or ethics. Elements of trust in hospitals included vulnerability to financial loss, and expectations of competence (quality). Elements of trust in health insurance plans often emerged in discussions about catastrophic illness coverage denials, and profit, and were more often negative. Vulnerability, worry, fear and security were prominent. Fiscal rather than clinical competence was emphasized, while expectations of goodwill remained. Enrollees in managed care plans spontaneously discussed trust and distrust in individuals and institutions during conversations about their insurance expectations and experiences. Similarities and differences in the elements and the context of these discussions illuminate distinctions between these healthcare relationships of trust.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goold, Susan Dorr&#xD;Klipp, Glenn&#xD;Evaluation Studies&#xD;England&#xD;Social science &amp; medicine (1982)&#xD;Soc Sci Med. 2002 Mar;54(6):879-88.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>305</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">305</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gordon, R.

METHODS: Local health department characteristics were obtained from a 1992/93 nationwide mail survey and modeled by means of multiple linear regression. RESULTS: Great variability existed in the per capita expenditures of local health departments, and approximately 70% of the variability was accounted for by differences in jurisdiction population size. Additional characteristics of the health departments explained another 11%. The average unadjusted per capita expenditure by local health departments nationwide was $26.

This is particularly important for avian influenza. Food animal production has been transformed since the 1918 influenza pandemic. Poultry and swine production have changed from small-scale methods to industrial-scale operations. There is substantial evidence of pathogen movement between and among these industrial facilities, release to the external environment, and exposure to farm workers, which challenges the assumption that modern poultry production is more biosecure and biocontained as compared with backyard or small holder operations in preventing introduction and release of pathogens. An analysis of data from the Thai government investigation in 2004 indicates that the odds of H5N1 outbreaks and infections were significantly higher in large-scale commercial poultry operations as compared with backyard flocks. These data suggest that successful strategies to prevent or mitigate the emergence of pandemic avian influenza must consider risk factors specific to modern industrialized food animal production.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Graham, Jay P&#xD;Leibler, Jessica H&#xD;Price, Lance B&#xD;Otte, Joachim M&#xD;Pfeiffer, Dirk U&#xD;Tiensin, T&#xD;Silbergeld, Ellen K&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2008 May-Jun;123(3):282-99.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>882</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">882</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Graham, SR, Carlton C, Gaede D, Jamison B.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The benefits of using geographic information systems as a community assessment tool.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">298-303</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">126</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assesment</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">no abstract available</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21387962</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>875</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">875</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gray, N, Mays MZ, Wolf D, Jirsak J.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Culturally focused wellness intervention for American Indian women of a small southwest community: associations with alcohol use, abstinence self-efficacy, symptoms of depression, and self-esteem.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Health Promot</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Health Promot</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-10</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">intervention</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PURPOSE: This study examined the influence of a culturally focused wellness intervention on alcohol consumption, alcohol abstinence self-efficacy, depression, and self-esteem among women of a small American Indian community in the southwestern United States. Participation in two intervention approaches was compared: a curriculum-based health promotion–only approach and health promotion combined with cognitive-behavioral skills building (CBSB).&#xD;&#xD;DESIGN: The wellness intervention was tested in a prospective, randomized, two-group design with repeated measures. There was no control group.&#xD;&#xD;SETTING: An American Indian community in the Southwest.&#xD;&#xD;SUBJECTS: American Indian women, ages 18 to 50 (N = 268).&#xD;&#xD;INTERVENTION: A 10-session culturally focused curriculum-based health promotion intervention, with a CBSB component, was developed using a community-based participatory research process. Comparisons were made between those who attended the health promotion plus CBSB intervention and those who attended the intervention without the CBSB component.&#xD;&#xD;MEASURES: Information regarding demographics, substance use, alcohol consumption, alcohol abstinence self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem was collected through a structured interview.&#xD;&#xD;ANALYSIS: Regression was used to evaluate the effect of the intervention on alcohol consumption, alcohol abstinence self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem in CBSB and non-CBSB groups.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Although there were no significant differences between the CBSB and non-CBSB groups, the results indicate a significant decrease in alcohol consumption and symptoms of depression, and a significant increase in alcohol abstinence self-efficacy and self-esteem, from baseline to the 6-month follow-up for both groups.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSION: Evidence suggests that this culturally focused health promotion intervention has a positive impact on alcohol use, alcohol abstinence self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem among American Indian women</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21066905</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>309</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">309</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Green, L.

Practitioners and the public lament the lack of relevance and fit of evidence that reaches them and barriers to their implementation of it. Much has been written about this gap in medicine, much less in public health. We review the concepts that have guided or misguided public health in their attempts to bridge science and practice through dissemination and implementation. Beginning with diffusion theory, which inspired much of public health&apos;s work on dissemination, we compare diffusion, dissemination, and implementation with related notions that have served other fields in bridging science and practice. Finally, we suggest ways to blend diffusion with other theory and evidence in guiding a more decentralized approach to dissemination and implementation in public health, including changes in the ways we produce the science itself.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Green, Lawrence W&#xD;Ottoson, Judith M&#xD;Garcia, Cesar&#xD;Hiatt, Robert A&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Annual review of public health&#xD;Annu Rev Public Health. 2009 Apr 29;30:151-74.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">data, methods, and technology </style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>310</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">310</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greenberg, M.

STUDY DESIGN--Cross-sectional analysis of just over 20,000 patients (greater than or equal to 18 years of age) who visited providers&apos; offices during 9-day periods in 1986. Patient- and physician-provided information was obtained by self-administered questionnaires. SETTING--Offices of 349 physicians practicing family medicine, internal medicine, endocrinology, and cardiology within health maintenance organizations, large multispecialty groups, and solo practices or small single-specialty group practices in three major US cities. OUTCOME MEASURES--Indicators of the intensity of resource utilization were examined among four medical specialties (family practice, general internal medicine, cardiology, and endocrinology) and five systems of care (health maintenance organization, multispecialty group-fee-for-service, multispecialty group-prepaid; solo practice and single-specialty group-fee-for-service, and solo practice and single-specialty group-prepaid) before and after controlling for the mix of patients seen in these offices. The indicators of resource utilization were hospitalizations, annual office visits, prescription drugs, and common tests and procedures, with rates estimated on both a per-visit and per-year basis. RESULTS--Variation in patient mix was a major determinant of the large variations in resource use. However, increased utilization was also independently related to specialty (cardiology and endocrinology), fee-for-service payment plan, and solo and single-specialty group practice arrangements. After adjusting for patient mix, solo practice/single-specialty groups-fee-for-service had 41% more hospitalizations than health maintenance organizations. General internists had utilization rates somewhat greater than family physicians on some indicators. CONCLUSION--Although variations in patient mix should be a major determinant of variations in resource use, the independent effects of specialty training, payment system, and practice organization on utilization rates need further explication. The 2- and 4-year outcomes now being analyzed will provide information critical to interpretation of the variations reported herein.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greenfield, S&#xD;Nelson, E C&#xD;Zubkoff, M&#xD;Manning, W&#xD;Rogers, W&#xD;Kravitz, R L&#xD;Keller, A&#xD;Tarlov, A R&#xD;Ware, J E Jr&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United states&#xD;JAMA : the journal of the American Medical Association&#xD;JAMA. 1992 Mar 25;267(12):1624-30.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>922</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">922</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">gregson, J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poverty, sprawl, and restaurant types influence body mass index of residents in California counties</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">141-9</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">126</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sup. 1</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMI</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OBJECTIVES: This article examines the relationships between structural poverty (the proportion of people in a county living at &lt; or =130% of the federal poverty level [FPL]), urban sprawl, and three types of restaurants (grouped as fast food, chain full service, and independent full service) in explaining body mass index (BMI) of individuals.&#xD;&#xD;METHODS: Relationships were tested with two-tiered hierarchical models. Individual-level data, including the outcome variable of calculated BMI, were from the 2005, 2006, and 2007 California Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (n = 14,205). County-level data (n = 33) were compiled from three sources. The 2000 U.S. Census provided the proportion of county residents living at &lt; or = 130% of FPL and county demographic descriptors. The sprawl index used came from the Smart Growth America Project. Fast-food, full-service chain, and full-service independently owned restaurants as proportions of the total retail food environment were constructed from a commercially available market research database from 2004.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: In the analysis, county-level demographic characteristics lost significance and poverty had a consistent, robust association on BMI (p &lt; 0.001). Sprawl demonstrated an additional, complementary association to county poverty (p &lt; 0.001). Independent restaurants had a large, negative association to BMI (p &lt; 0.001). The coefficients for chain and fast-food restaurants were large and positive (p &lt; or = 0.001), indicating that as the proportion of these restaurants in a county increases, so does BMI.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the important role of county poverty and urban sprawl toward understanding environmental influences on BMI. Using three categories of restaurants demonstrates different associations of full-service chain and independent restaurants, which are often combined in other research</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21563722</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>312</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">312</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Griffin, M.

METHODS: We used Medicaid claims data in a linear regression model. We regressed number of children sealed per county onto eligible children, median family income, dentist-to-population ratio, and indicator variables for reimbursement increase, presence of community health center (CHC) or school sealant program, and interaction between reimbursement increase and presence of school program or CHC. We also calculated the average incremental cost per sealant from increasing the Medicaid reimbursement rate and then disaggregated it into cost to provide additional sealants and cost to provide the same number of sealants under the higher rate. RESULTS: Increasing the sealant reimbursement rate was associated with a 102 percent increase and a 39 percent increase in sealant prevalence in Mississippi and Alabama, respectively. Introducing school sealant programs more than doubled sealant prevalence in both states. In Mississippi, 85 percent of the average incremental cost from implementing the higher reimbursement rate was due to providing new sealants and 15 percent was due to paying a higher rate for sealants that likely would have been delivered at the old rate. CONCLUSION: Depending on supply and demand conditions in dental markets, both strategies can be effective in increasing sealant prevalence.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Griffin, Susan O&#xD;Jones, Kari A&#xD;Lockwood, Stuart&#xD;Mosca, Nicholas G&#xD;Honore, Peggy A&#xD;Evaluation Studies&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Mar-Apr;13(2):202-6.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">00124784-200703000-00019 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>314</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">314</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Griffiths, S.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Institute of Health Sciences, Hong Kong. siangriffiths@cuhk.edu.hk</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">One country, two systems: public health in China</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">754-61</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">122</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008/06/17</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">China</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery of Health Care/ organization &amp; administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status Disparities</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Healthcare Disparities/ organization &amp; administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hong Kong</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Practice</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0033-3506 (Print)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18556031</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper, presented in Lisbon in May 2007, uses the framework of the three domains of public health practice--namely, health protection, health improvement and health services--as a reference to outline some of the main current public health challenges in Hong Kong and Mainland China [Griffiths S, Jewell T, Donnelly P.

Animals are more sensitive to certain biological agents, and their use as clinical sentinels, as a means of early detection, is warranted. This article provides design methods for a local integrated zoonotic surveillance plan and materials developed for veterinarians to assist in the early detection of bioevents. Zoonotic surveillance in the U.S. is currently too limited and compartmentalized for broader public health objectives. To rapidly detect and respond to bioevents, collaboration and cooperation among various agencies at the federal, state, and local levels must be enhanced and maintained. Co-analysis of animal and human diseases may facilitate the response to infectious disease events and limit morbidity and mortality in both animal and human populations.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gubernot, Diane M&#xD;Boyer, Benita L&#xD;Moses, Marina S&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2008 May-Jun;123(3):300-15.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>802</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">802</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guo, J.

METHODS: We employed a longitudinal quasi-experimental repeated-measures design. Primary data sources included the Ohio Medicaid claims, enrollment file with race/ethnicity, and survey reports from parents. We used hierarchical linear modeling to control unbalanced data because of student attrition. We assessed quarterly total Medicaid reimbursement costs for 5056 students in the SBHC and non-SBHC groups from 1997 to 2003. We calculated net social benefit to compare the cost of the SBHC programs with the value that SBHCs might save or create. RESULTS: With SBHCs, the gap of lower health care cost for African Americans was closed. The net social benefits of the SBHC program in 4 school districts were estimated as $1,352,087 over 3 years. We estimated that the SBHCs could have saved Medicaid about $35 per student per year. CONCLUSIONS: SBHCs are cost beneficial to both the Medicaid system and society, and may close health care disparity gaps.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guo, Jeff J&#xD;Wade, Terrance J&#xD;Pan, Wei&#xD;Keller, Kathryn N&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 Sep;100(9):1617-23.

METHODS: Examination-diagnosed estimates of key health conditions from the 2004 NYC-HANES were compared with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004 national estimates. Findings were also compared with self-reported estimates from the Community Health Survey (CHS), an annually conducted local telephone survey. RESULTS: NYC-HANES estimated that among NYC adults, 25.6% had hypertension, 25.4% had hypercholesterolemia, 12.5% had diabetes, and 25.6% were obese. Compared with US adults, NYC residents had less hypertension and obesity but more herpes simplex 2 and environmental exposures (P&lt;.05). Obesity was higher and hypertension was lower than CHS self-report estimates (P&lt;.05). NYC-HANES and CHS self-reported diabetes estimates were similar (9.7% vs 8.7%). CONCLUSIONS: NYC-HANES and national estimates differed for key chronic, infectious, and environmental indicators, suggesting the need for local data. Examination surveys may provide more accurate information for underreported conditions than local telephone surveys. Community-level health and nutrition examination surveys complement existing data, providing critical information for targeting local interventions.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gwynn, R Charon&#xD;Garg, Renu K&#xD;Kerker, Bonnie D&#xD;Frieden, Thomas R&#xD;Thorpe, Lorna E&#xD;U50CCJU222455/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;U50CCU223290/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;U59CCU22339202/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Comparative Study&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Jan;99(1):152-9.

All elementary schools in Nevada were sent a health survey for parents of kindergarten students to complete. A total of 3,628 surveys were received with usable height and weight needed to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI). African American and Hispanic children had significantly higher BMI scores compared to Caucasian and Asian/Pacific Islander children, regardless of income. Children who had diabetes or mental health concerns also had significantly higher mean BMIs compared to children without these health concerns. Overall staff within the school districts felt that this surveillance system should be continued as data from this study provided important information subsequently used to guide programming and when applying for grants. Our children&apos;s welfare depends on community collaboration to create and implement data-driven initiatives to combat childhood obesity.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20577815</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>318</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">318</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Electronic Book">44</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haddix, Anne C.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevention effectiveness : a guide to decision analysis and economic evaluation</style></title></titles><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medicine, Preventive -- Evaluation.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medicine, Preventive -- Decision making.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medicine, Preventive -- Cost effectiveness -- Evaluation.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medicine, Preventive -- Economic aspects.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Primary Prevention -- economics.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cost-Benefit Analysis -- methods.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preventieve gezondheidszorg.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evaluatie.</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kosten-batenanalyse.</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxford University Press</style></publisher><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISBN: 0195100638 (acid-free paper); 9780195100631 (acid-free paper); National Library: 9605929; LCCN: 95-21249</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCLC: 32665238</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ill. ; 24 cm.&#xD;Table of contents only http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0637/95021249-t.html&#xD;Includes bibliographical references and index.&#xD;edited by Anne C.

This study evaluates the ability of multiple survey vendors to gather and report data collected as part of the 1998 Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (HOS). METHOD: Four hundred randomly sampled completed mailed surveys were chosen from each of six certified vendors (N = 2397) participating in the 1998 HOS. The accuracy of the data gathered from the vendors was measured by creating a &quot;gold standard&quot; record for each survey and comparing it to the final record submitted by the vendor. RESULTS: Overall rates of agreement were calculated, and ranged from 97.0% to 99.8% across the vendors. CONCLUSION: Researchers may be confident that using multiple vendors to gather health outcomes information will yield accurate data.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haffer, Samuel C&#xD;England&#xD;Health and quality of life outcomes&#xD;Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2003 Apr 16;1:6.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Technology and Methods</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>320</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">320</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hagopian, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spigner, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gorstein, J.

It is important to better understand the demands on and the capacity of LPHAs to respond to these challenges. Determining what factors can improve LPHA performance is critical to helping LPHAs face their challenges.The objective of this study was to determine what factors are associated with LPHA performance improvement in North Carolina from 1999 to 2004. In North Carolina, several data sources regarding predictors of LPHA performance, including LPHA workforce, LPHA characteristics, public health expenditures, and population characteristics, are available. Improvement in LPHA performance was measured by nine indicators across diverse services that were collected over multiple years. Linear regression was used to evaluate the significance of predictor variables.Our findings indicate that workforce characteristics such as occupational classification and experience of the workforce, LPHA characteristics such as number of full-time employees, as well as population characteristics are important predictors of LPHA performance.This study provides insight into what is needed to better address LPHA performance improvement. More importantly, study findings indicate which workforce characteristics can be targeted to enhance LPHA performance improvement over time.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hajat, Anjum&#xD;Cilenti, Dorothy&#xD;Harrison, Lisa M&#xD;MacDonald, Pia D M&#xD;Pavletic, Denise&#xD;Mays, Glen P&#xD;Baker, Edward L&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Mar-Apr;15(2):E22-33.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization Structure and Infrastructure&#xD;Finance&#xD;Workforce&#xD;Data Technology and Methods&#xD;</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000346022.14426.84 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200903000-00021 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>323</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">323</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Generic">13</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hall, Laura M.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">(601) 266-5204&#xD;laura.m.hall@usm.edu&#xD;(601) 266-5043</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoting and protecting the public&apos;s health through partnerships in local public health systems</style></title></titles><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Community Health Services/*organization &amp;</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">administration</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demography</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Promotion</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Health Status Indicators</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mississippi</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Program Development</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Program Evaluation</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">*Public Health</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Design</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">University of Southern Mississippi, Department of Community Health Sciences</style></publisher><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Background: Public health systems research suggests that certain partnerships within the community leads to improved performance within health systems. It is important to identify those characteristics of public health systems that form partnerships and engage both stakeholders and community citizens in public health programs. Significance: Once the features of public health systems that develop effective partnerships with stakeholders and community citizens are documented, researchers and practitioners can establish recommendations to local health departments about forming these partnerships. Additionally, local health systems will understand the range of activities and variety of partnerships needed to influence public health system performance. Methods: The National Public Health Performance Program has developed and field-tested the local public health systems performance instrument. This instrument is used by a number of public health jurisdictions to examine the performance of local public health systems. Analysis performed on this dataset focuses on those public health systems that have undertaken partnerships with the community and its stakeholders to identify significant variables affecting these relationships and how they influence the performance of public health systems. Findings: Our findings document the demographic and structural nature of high-performing public health systems and their relationship with local community partners and residents. We identify those local systems features that successfully influence the creation of community engagement and its relationship to performance. Conclusions and implications: Identification of variables helpful in creating the ideal public health system performance by community and stakeholder engagement will be beneficial to other local public health systems as they undertake similar activities to improve their performance.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grant</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.usm.edu/chs/</style></url><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.rwjf.org/index.jsp</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>324</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">324</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P.

This article begins with an examination of basic strategic-alliance structures that are employed across many different types of industries. Next, consideration is given to the ways in which these basic alliance structures may be adapted to the unique organizations and individuals that serve as providers, purchasers, and consumers of health services. Finally, this article explores how models of strategic alliance in healthcare can be tailored to the specific needs and constraints of the VA healthcare system through an examination of existing and potential alliance opportunities.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: XN874&#xD;Times Cited: 3&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 41&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *KAIS F, 1995, MED MAN CAR LESS LIT&#xD;     *US GAO, 1995, COMM HLTH CTR CHALL&#xD;     ALEXANDER J, 1988, INQUIRY, V25, P388&#xD;     ALTER C, 1993, ORG WORKING TOGETHER&#xD;     BADARACCO JL, 1991, KNOWLEDGE LINK FIRMS&#xD;     BAKER SJ, 1995, PARTNERS DANCE FORMI&#xD;     BLAIR JD, 1990, CHALLENGES HLTH CARE&#xD;     BLAIR JD, 1995, MED PRACTICES FACE U&#xD;     BLOOMBERG MA, 1993, JOINT COMM J QUAL IM, V19, P586&#xD;     BURNS LR, 1993, HLTH CARE MANAGEMENT, V18, P7&#xD;     CHRISTIANSON JB, 1995, PARTNERS DANCE FORMI&#xD;     DAUNNO TA, 1987, ACAD MANAGE REV, V12, P534&#xD;     DAVIDSON DT, 1989, MANAGING GLOBAL CORP&#xD;     FIOL CM, 1989, ADMIN SCI QUART, V34, P277&#xD;     FORREST JE, 1992, J GEN MANAGE, V17, P45&#xD;     FOWLER FJ, 1994, MED CARE, V32, S65&#xD;     GATES S, 1993, STRATEGIC ALLIANCES&#xD;     GOES JB, 1995, HEALTH SERV RES, V30, P507&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1996, UNPUB ORG LINKAGES P&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113&#xD;     JOHNSTON R, 1988, HARVARD BUS REV, V66, P94&#xD;     KALUZNY AD, 1992, HOSP HEALTH SERV ADM, V37, P477&#xD;     KALUZNY AD, 1993, HEALTH SERV RES, V28, P159&#xD;     KALUZNY AD, 1995, PARTNERS DANCE FORMI&#xD;     KALUZNY AD, 1996, MANAGING HLTH CARE A&#xD;     KANTER RM, 1994, HARVARD BUS REV, V72, P96&#xD;     LEWIS JD, 1990, PARTNERSHIPS PROFIT&#xD;     LORANGE P, 1993, STRATEGIC ALLIANCES&#xD;     LUKE RD, 1989, ACAD MANAGE REV, V14, P9&#xD;     MORGAN C, 1995, TOTAL QUALTITY MANAG&#xD;     SAVAGE GT, 1992, HLTH CARE MANAGEMENT, V17, P35&#xD;     SCOTT L, 1995, MODERN HEALTHCARE, V27, P2&#xD;     SHORTELL SM, 1993, HEALTHCARE FORUM J, V36, P20&#xD;     SHORTELL SM, 1994, HEALTH AFFAIR, V13, P46&#xD;     STEIN BA, 1995, PARTNERS DANCE FORMI&#xD;     YOSHINO MY, 1995, STRATEGIC ALLIANCES&#xD;     ZAJAC EJ, 1994, HLTH CARE MANAGEMENT&#xD;     ZUCKERMAN HS, 1990, HLTH CARE MANAGEMENT, V15, P21&#xD;     ZUCKERMAN HS, 1991, FRONTIERS HLTH SERVI, V7, P3&#xD;     ZUCKERMAN HS, 1995, HEALTH CARE MANAGE R, V20, P54&#xD;     ZUCKERMAN HS, 1995, PARTNERS DANCE FORMI</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://A1997XN87400007</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>329</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">329</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P.

A focus group conducted with public health officials at local, state, and national levels reveals perceptions about the predominant trends effecting public health practice, the leadership skills required for effective public health practice, and the strategies that are needed for providing appropriate leadership training to public health executives. Officials indicate that public health practice is undergoing substantial changes in response to the growth of managed care and integrated delivery systems, changes in public health funding sources and levels, and efforts to privatize the delivery of public health services. The skills identified as critical for effective leadership in this environment include the ability to guide organizational behavior and cultivate interorganizational relationships; apply scientific knowledge to public health problems, and build and sustain community coalitions. In light of these skills, public health officials identify four essential components of an optimally effective executive training program in public health leadership: exposure to the core scientific disciplines within public health; exposure to organization theory and management science; training in community development and empowerment; and training in ethics and social justice. All of the officials agree with the need for distance learning programs for executives in public health leadership, and most officials also support the need for doctoral-level training in public health practice.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P K&#xD;Mays, G&#xD;Kaluzny, A D&#xD;House, R M&#xD;United states&#xD;The Journal of health administration education&#xD;J Health Adm Educ. 1997 Spring;15(2):87-100.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Workforce</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>330</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">330</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P.

This study examines organizational characteristics and market conditions likely to influence collaborative relationships between public health agencies and community medical care providers. Methods. Public health directors in 60 US counties were surveyed by telephone concerning their relationships with area community hospitals (n=263) and community health centers (n=85). Multivariate models were used to estimate the effects of organizational and market characteristics on collaboration. Results. Collaboration was reported among 55% of the hospitals and 64% of the health centers. Certain forms of collaboration were more likely in markets characterized by higher HMO penetration and lower HMO competition. Conclusions. Targeted efforts to facilitate collaboration may be required in settings where institutional and market incentives are lacking.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 377KH&#xD;Times Cited: 8&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 28&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *AM HOSP ASS, 1995, 1995 96 AHA GUID HLT&#xD;     *CDCP, 1995, MMWR-MORBID MORTAL W, V44, P1&#xD;     *CTR STUD HLTH SYS, 1996, TRACK CHANG PUBL HLT&#xD;     *I MED, 1996, HLTH COMM NEW PARTN&#xD;     *INT, 1995, 1995 HMO CENS&#xD;     *US DEP HHS, 1998, 1998 AR RES FIL&#xD;     *US HLTH RES SERV, 1994, PRIM CAR PROGR DIR&#xD;     BAKER EL, 1994, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V272, P1276&#xD;     BAXTER RJ, 1997, HEALTH AFFAIR, V16, P7&#xD;     ENCINOSA WE, 1997, J ECON MANAGE STRAT, V6, P129&#xD;     GUTH W, 1997, EFFICIENCY I EC POLI, P183&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1996, J HLTH HUM SERV ADM, V18, P288&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, ASS HLTH SERV RES 14, P386&#xD;     HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113&#xD;     HUBER PJ, 1972, ECONOMETRIC EXPLORAT, P373&#xD;     KALUZNY AD, 1995, PARTNERS DANCE FORMI&#xD;     LASKER R, 1997, MED PUBLIC HLTH POWE&#xD;     LEWIN ME, 2000, AM HLTH CARE SAFETY, P47&#xD;     LORANGE P, 1993, STRATEGIC ALLIANCES&#xD;     MADDALA GS, 1983, LTD DEPENDENT QUALIT&#xD;     MAYS GP, 2000, LOCAL PUBLIC HLTH PR&#xD;     MCLAUGHLIN CP, 1997, MANAGED CARE PUBLIC, P42&#xD;     MILLER CA, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P1743&#xD;     NEEMAN Z, 1999, REV ECON STUD, V66, P679&#xD;     NORTON EC, 1996, J CONSULT CLIN PSYCH, V64, P919&#xD;     RING PS, 1994, ACAD MANAGE REV, V19, P90&#xD;     SHORTELL SM, 1996, REMAKING HLTH CARE A&#xD;     WALL S, 1998, HEALTH AFFAIR, V17, P64</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000165512400020</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>331</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">331</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P.

A typology of interorganizational relations between managed care plans and local public health agencies is drawn from observations of over 60 public health jurisdictions. Relations are described along three dimensions corresponding to the strategic intent, functional operation, and structural design of each alliance type. The identified models of interaction reveal the motivations for forming alliances, the mechanics of their operation, and the possible outcomes. These alliances suggest that a wide range of interorganizational strategies is possible in order to pursue the shared interests of local public health agencies and managed care plans. Nonetheless, public health agencies may face challenges in forging managed care alliances that benefit community-wide populations and that are open to participation by the full spectrum of health care providers in the community.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P K&#xD;Mays, G P&#xD;Kaluzny, A D&#xD;Richards, T B&#xD;United states&#xD;The Milbank quarterly&#xD;Milbank Q. 1997;75(1):113-38.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>332</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">332</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a classic example of a disease with both public health and medical care implications, and as such it provides an opportunity for examining the impact on public health of the shift towards managed care in the medical marketplace. The authors approach the role of managed care in TB control by first considering the need for interorganizational coordination at the community level. The authors identify four basic models of how managed care organizations may fit into TB control efforts in local communities, using observations from 12 local public health jurisdictions to illustrate these models. These TB control models provide insight into the general mechanisms through which managed care organizations may affect other areas of public health practice.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P K&#xD;Mays, G P&#xD;Miller, C A&#xD;Kaluzny, A D&#xD;Richards, T B&#xD;SO38-11/13/United States PHS&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;Review&#xD;United states&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 1997 Jan-Feb;112(1):22-8.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>333</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">333</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P.

This article identifies the nature and extent of involvement by agencies other than the official local public health department in performing public health practices and functions within 63 local public health jurisdictions. Adequacy of overall public health performance is significantly related to the extent of participation of outside agencies. Outside agencies contribute over 26 percent to the total public health performance for the jurisdictions surveyed. Other agencies of government, both at the state and local level, are the predominant outside contributors to public health practice. Private and voluntary agencies are perceived as minor contributors. Little variation exists among communities in which outside agencies tend to perform particular public health activities. Findings suggest that local public health departments can maximize their impact by understanding better the nature of working relationships within multi-institutional arrangements, encouraging greater levels of collaboration and integration and acting as catalysts for increased support of public health activities.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P K&#xD;Miller, C A&#xD;Kaluzny, A D&#xD;Fried, B J&#xD;Schenck, S E&#xD;Richards, T B&#xD;United states&#xD;Journal of health and human services administration&#xD;J Health Hum Serv Adm. 1996 Winter;18(3):288-303.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>334</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">334</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Halverson, P.

For young adult men, an individual random effect estimator suggested that a 10% increase in the price of fast food was associated with a 13.2% decrease in the probability of obesity, but this effect lost its economic and statistical significance once individual fixed effects were controlled for in the estimation.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the results imply that observed time-varying individual characteristics, such as working status, marital status and school enrolment status, may over-ride the effect of changes in food prices for young adults. More research employing longitudinal data is necessary to determine if food subsidies or taxes, particularly soft drink and fast food taxes or subsidies for fruit and vegetables, could be effective policy measures to curtail the increasing prevalence of obesity among young adults</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21272902</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>335</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">335</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handler, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Issel, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Turnock, B.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">University of Illinois School of Public Health, 1603 W Taylor, Chicago, IL 60612, USA. handler@uic.edu</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A conceptual framework to measure performance of the public health system</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Public Health</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1235-9</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">91</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001/08/14</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Management Audit/ methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organizational Objectives</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organizational Policy</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Outcome and Process Assessment (Health Care)/ methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Administration/ standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality Indicators, Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Systems Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United States</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year><pub-dates><date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0090-0036 (Print)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11499110</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OBJECTIVES: This article describes a unifying conceptual framework for the public health system as a way to facilitate the measurement of public health system performance. METHODS: A conceptual framework for the public health system was developed on the basis of the work of Donabedian and a conceptual model previously developed by Bernard Turnock and Arden Handler. RESULTS: The conceptual framework consists of 5 components that can be considered in relationship to each other: macro context, mission, structural capacity, processes, and outcomes. Although the availability of measures for each of these components varies, the framework can be used to examine the performance of public health systems as well as that of agencies and programs. CONCLUSIONS: A conceptual framework that explicates the relationships among the various components of the public health system is an essential step toward providing a science base for the study of public health system performance.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handler, A&#xD;Issel, M&#xD;Turnock, B&#xD;S755-18/19/United States PHS&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2001 Aug;91(8):1235-9.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>336</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">336</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handler, A.

This study seeks to describe the structural and service characteristics of an effective LHD. METHODS: Data from a 1993 national random sample survey of LHD practice were merged with data from the 1992-1993 National Association of Country and City Health Officials (NACCHO) profile of local health agencies. Using a definition of effectiveness related to the core functions of public health, the correlates of effectiveness were examined for 264 health departments in the matched sample. RESULTS: Effectiveness of local health agencies was not related to jurisdiction size of type. Inputs (structural factors) associated with effectiveness included having a full-time agency head, a larger budget derived from a greater number of funding sources, and a larger number of staff. With respect to outputs (services), effective health departments were also more likely to provide a greater number of services directly, particularly personal preventive and treatment services. CONCLUSIONS: Only a few inputs are correlated with core-function related effectiveness. However, a profile of an effective health department emerges. Effective LHDs appear more likely to have full-time leadership which is able to tap diverse funding sources to provide the mix and match of community and personal prevention and treatment services needed to address community needs and improve the public&apos;s health.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handler, A S&#xD;Turnock, B J&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United states&#xD;Journal of public health policy&#xD;J Public Health Policy. 1996;17(4):460-83.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>337</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">337</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handler, A.

Achieving this objective requires approved definitions for effectiveness as well as a system for ascertainment. In 1990 when this objective was established, no baseline data were available, and no accepted methods of measuring health department effectiveness were in use. Our approach to the development of a surveillance system to measure the effectiveness of LHDs has been to translate the three core public health functions characterized by the Institute of Medicine and the 10 practices delineated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the national public health practice organizations into practice performance measures that could be judged as met or not met at the level of a jurisdiction served by a LHD. As part of our effort to develop a surveillance system to measure local public health practice, performance measures that characterize the 10 public health practices and their related core functions were developed and field-tested with state local health liaison officials and local health departments over a two-year period. Obtaining input from these sources is essential to establishing their validity and is a critical aspect of building nationwide consensus for appropriate measures of effective local public health practice. The results of these efforts led to the establishment of a proposed surveillance instrument comprising 10 performance standards and 29 associated indicators. We describe two approaches to its use.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handler, A S&#xD;Turnock, B J&#xD;Hall, W&#xD;Potsic, S&#xD;Munson, J&#xD;Nalluri, R&#xD;Vaughn, E H&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United states&#xD;American journal of preventive medicine&#xD;Am J Prev Med. 1995 Nov-Dec;11(6 Suppl):29-35.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>338</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">338</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hankins, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">King&apos;s College London, Department of Psychology (at Guy&apos;s), Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK. m.c.hankins@bsms.ac.uk</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">How discriminating are discriminative instruments?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Qual Life Outcomes</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Qual Life Outcomes</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Discriminant Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status Indicators</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Surveys</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psychometrics/ instrumentation/standards</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Life</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reproducibility of Results</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Statistics, Nonparametric</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1477-7525 (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18505550</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The McMaster framework introduced by Kirshner &amp; Guyatt is the dominant paradigm for the development of measures of health status and health-related quality of life (HRQL). The framework defines the functions of such instruments as evaluative, predictive or discriminative. Evaluative instruments are required to be sensitive to change (responsiveness), but there is no corresponding index of the degree to which discriminative instruments are sensitive to cross-sectional differences.This paper argues that indices of validity and reliability are not sufficient to demonstrate that a discriminative instrument performs its function of discriminating between individuals, and that the McMaster framework would be augmented by the addition of a separate index of discrimination. The coefficient proposed by Ferguson (Delta) is easily adapted to HRQL instruments and is a direct, non-parametric index of the degree to which an instrument distinguishes between individuals. While Delta should prove useful in the development and evaluation of discriminative instruments, further research is required to elucidate the relationship between the measurement properties of discrimination, reliability and responsiveness.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, Data, Methods</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>339</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">339</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hanusaik, N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">O&apos;Loughlin, J.

Objective: To develop measures of organisational capacity for chronic disease prevention/ healthy lifestyle promotion (CDP/HLP), its determinants, and its outcomes, based on a new integrative conceptual model. Methods: Items measuring each component of the model were developed or adapted from existing instruments, tested for content validity, and pilot tested. Cross sectional data were collected in a national telephone survey of all 216 national, provincial, and regional organisations that implement CDP/HLP programmes in Canada. Psychometric properties of the measures were tested using principal components analysis (PCA) and by examining inter-rater reliability. Results: PCA based scales showed generally excellent internal consistency (Cronbach&apos;s alpha = 0.70 to 0.88). Reliability coefficients for selected measures were variable (weighted K(K-w) = 0.11 to 0.77). Indicators of organisational determinants were generally positively correlated with organisational capacity (r(s) = 0.14-0.45, p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: This study developed psychometrically sound measures of organisational capacity for CDP/ HLP, its determinants, and its outcomes based on an integrative conceptual model. Such measures are needed to support evidence based decision making and investment in preventive health care systems.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Times Cited: 0&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 48&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *ALB HEART HLTH PR, 2000, HLTH PROM CAP SURV&#xD;     *ALB HEART HLTH PR, 2001, HLTH PROM IND CAP SU&#xD;     *ALB HEART HLTH PR, 2001, HLTH PROM ORG CAP SU&#xD;     *BCHHP, 2001, REV ACT SCAN&#xD;     *CHHIOP, 1997, SURV CAP ACT NEEDS P&#xD;     *HEART HLTH NOV SC, 1996, MEAS ORG CAP HEART H&#xD;     *HEART HLTH NOV SC, 1998, CAP HEART HLTH PROM&#xD;     *HLTH CAN, 2002, EC BURD ILLN CAN 199&#xD;     *SASK HEART HLTH P, 1998, HLTH PROM CONT PROF&#xD;     *STAT CAN, 1999, STAT REP HLTH CAN&#xD;     *WHO, 2005, PREV CHRON DIS VIT I&#xD;     ANDERSON D, 2004, HEALTH PROMOT INT, V19, P471, DOI&#xD;     10.1093/heapro/dah409&#xD;     BARRETT L, 2005, HEALTH EDUC BEHAV, V32, P195, DOI&#xD;     10.1177/1090198104271970&#xD;     CATTELL RB, 1966, MULTIVARIATE BEHAVIO, V1, P245&#xD;     CLARK LA, 1995, PSYCHOL ASSESSMENT, V7, P309&#xD;     COHEN J, 1968, PSYCHOL BULL, V70, P213&#xD;     CRISP BR, 2000, HEALTH PROMOT INT, V15, P99&#xD;     CRONBACH LJ, 1951, PSYCHOMETRIKA, V16, P297&#xD;     EBBESEN LS, 2004, HEALTH PROMOT INT, V19, P85, DOI 10.1093/heapro/dag408&#xD;     ELLIOTT SJ, 1998, HEALTH EDUC RES, V13, P607&#xD;     GERMANN K, 2004, HEALTH PROMOT INT, V19, P289, DOI 10.1093/heapro/dah303&#xD;     GOODMAN RM, 1997, HEALTH EDUC RES, V12, P181&#xD;     GOODMAN RM, 1998, HEALTH EDUC BEHAV, V25, P258&#xD;     GORDON WA, 2005, AM J PHYS MED REHAB, V84, P999, DOI&#xD;     10.1097/01.phm.0000187351.96774.27&#xD;     GUILLEMIN F, 1993, J CLIN EPIDEMIOL, V46, P1417&#xD;     HATCHER L, 1994, STEP STEP APPROACH U&#xD;     HAWE P, 1997, HEALTH POLICY, V39, P29&#xD;     HAWE P, 1999, INDICATORS HELP CAPA&#xD;     HEATH S, 2001, PROMOT ED S, V1, P17&#xD;     JACKSON C, 1994, HEALTH EDUC RES, V9, P385&#xD;     LABONTE R, 2001, CRITICAL PUBLIC HLTH, V11, P111&#xD;     LABONTE R, 2001, CRITICAL PUBLIC HLTH, V11, P129&#xD;     LUSTHAUS C, 1999, ENHANCING ORG PERFOR&#xD;     MCLEAN S, 2001, J COMMUNITY DEV SOC, V32, P251&#xD;     NATHAN S, 2002, HEALTH PROMOT INT, V17, P69&#xD;     NAYLOR P, 2001, PROMOT ED S, V1, P44&#xD;     PEARSON TA, 1998, CVD PREVENTION, V1, P182&#xD;     PODSAKOFF PM, 1986, J MANAGE, V12, P531&#xD;     RAPHAEL D, 1995, HEALTH PROMOT INT, V10, P305&#xD;     REICH MR, 2000, NAT MED, V6, P617&#xD;     RILEY BL, 2001, HEALTH EDUC RES, V16, P425&#xD;     SMITH C, 2001, PROMOTION ED S, V1, P40&#xD;     STECKLER A, 1997, HEALTH EDUC RES, V12, R1&#xD;     STREINER DL, 1994, CAN J PSYCHIAT, V39, P135&#xD;     TABACHNICK BG, 2001, USING MULTIVARIATE S&#xD;     TAYLOR SM, 1998, CAN J PUBLIC HEALTH, V89, P410&#xD;     VALLERAND RJ, 1989, CAN PSYCHOL, V30, P662&#xD;     WINKLEBY MA, 1997, J CLIN EPIDEMIOL, V50, P645&#xD;Hanusaik, Nancy O&apos;Loughlin, Jennifer L.

This paper describes the methods developed for reviewing research on people&apos;s perspectives and experiences (&quot;views&apos;&apos; studies) alongside trials within a series of reviews on young people&apos;s mental health, physical activity, and healthy eating. Reports of views studies were difficult to locate; could not easily be classified as &quot;qualitative&apos;&apos; or &quot;quantitative&apos;&apos;; and often failed to meet seven basic methodological reporting standards used in a newly developed quality assessment tool. Synthesising views studies required the adaptation of qualitative analysis techniques. The benefits of bringing together views studies in a systematic way included gaining a greater breadth of perspectives and a deeper understanding of public health issues from the point of view of those targeted by interventions. A systematic approach also aided reflection on study methods that may distort, misrepresent, or fail to pick up people&apos;s views. This methodology is likely to create greater opportunities for people&apos;s own perspectives and experiences to inform policies to promote their health.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Times Cited: 20&#xD;Cited Reference Count: 38&#xD;Cited References: &#xD;     *DEP HLTH, 1999, PAT PUBL INV NEW NHS&#xD;     *SPORTS COUNC WAL, 1994, MATTER FUN GAMES CHI&#xD;     BARROSO J, 2000, QUAL HEALTH RES, V10, P340&#xD;     BEGG C, 1996, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V276, P637&#xD;     BLAXTER M, 1996, MED SOCIOLOGY NEWS, V22, P69&#xD;     BOSSUYT PM, 2003, BRIT MED J, V326, P41&#xD;     BOULTON M, 1996, J EVAL CLIN PRACT, V2, P171&#xD;     CAMPBELL R, 2003, SOC SCI MED, V56, P671&#xD;     COBB AK, 1987, J NURS EDUC, V26, P138&#xD;     COOPER H, 1994, HDB RES SYNTHESIS&#xD;     DIXONWOODS M, 2001, J EVAL CLIN PRACT, V7, P125&#xD;     EGGER G, 2001, SYSTEMATIC REV HLTH&#xD;     ESTABROOKS CA, 1994, QUALITATIVE HLTH RES, V4, P503&#xD;     GREEN L, 1991, HLTH PROMOTION PLANN&#xD;     HARDEN A, 2001, USING RES EFFECTIVE, P123&#xD;     HARDEN A, 2001, YOUNG PEOPLE MENTAL&#xD;     HAWE P, 1990, EVALUATING HLTH PROM&#xD;     JENSEN LA, 1996, QUAL HEALTH RES, V6, P553&#xD;     JUNI P, 2001, BRIT MED J, V323, P42&#xD;     KEARNEY MH, 2001, RES NURS HEALTH, V24, P270&#xD;     LINCOLN YS, 1995, QUALITATIVE INQUIRY, V1, P275&#xD;     MAYNARD I, 1997, NONRANDOM REFLECTION&#xD;     MAYS N, 1995, BRIT MED J, V311, P109&#xD;     MCNAUGHTON DB, 2000, PUBLIC HEALTH NURS, V17, P405&#xD;     MOHER D, 1999, HEALTH TECHNOL ASSES, V3, P1&#xD;     MULLENDER A, 2001, WHAT WORKS REDUCING, P1&#xD;     NIXON J, 2001, BRIT MED J, V322, P1596&#xD;     NOBLIT G, 1988, META ETHNOGRAPHY SYN&#xD;     OAKLEY A, 2000, EXPT KNOWING GENDER&#xD;     OLIVER S, IN PRESS EVALUATION&#xD;     OLIVER S, 2001, USING RES EFFECTIVE, P200&#xD;     PAERSON B, 2001, J NURS SCHOLARSHIP, V33, P57&#xD;     PATTERSON B, 2001, META STUDY QUALITATI&#xD;     POPAY J, 1998, QUAL HEALTH RES, V8, P341&#xD;     REES R, 2001, YOUNG PEOPLE PHYS AC&#xD;     SCHREIBER R, 1997, COMPLETING QUALITATI, P311&#xD;     SHEPHERD J, 2001, YOUNG PEOPLE HLTH EA&#xD;     SPENCER L, 2003, QUUALITY QUALITATIVE</style></notes><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000223310100016</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>341</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">341</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harrison, K.

METHODS: We used an approximate model incorporating random variation to impute values for missing risk factors for HIV and AIDS cases diagnosed from 2000 to 2004. The process was repeated M times to generate M datasets. We combined results from the datasets to compute an overall multiple imputation estimate and standard error (SE), and then compared results from multiple imputation and from risk factor redistribution. Variables in the imputation models were age at diagnosis, race/ethnicity, type of facility where diagnosis was made, region of residence, national origin, CD-4 T-lymphocyte cell count within six months of diagnosis, and reporting year. RESULTS: In HIV data, male-to-male sexual contact accounted for 67.3% of cases by risk factor redistribution and 70.4% (SE = 0.45) by multiple imputation. Also among males, injection drug use (IDU) accounted for 11.6% and 10.8% (SE = 0.34), and high-risk heterosexual contact for 15.1% and 13.0% (SE = 0.34) by risk factor redistribution and multiple imputation, respectively. Among females, IDU accounted for 18.2% and 17.9% (SE = 0.61), and high-risk heterosexual contact for 80.8% and 80.9% (SE = 0.63) by risk factor redistribution and multiple imputation, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Because multiple imputation produces less biased subgroup estimates and offers objectivity and a semiautomated approach, we suggest consideration of its use in adjusting for missing risk factor information.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harrison, Kathleen McDavid&#xD;Kajese, Tebitha&#xD;Hall, H Irene&#xD;Song, Ruiguang&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2008 Sep-Oct;123(5):618-27.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technology, Data &amp; Methods</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>342</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">342</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harrison, L.

America&apos;s Health</style></publisher><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The U.S. public health system is underprepared for protecting communities from today&apos;s health threats, ranging from bioterrorism to cancer to obesity. The infusion of federal bioterrorism preparedness funding has helped, but even with that investment, the majority of states are only modestly better prepared to respond to health emergencies. Achieving long-term improvements requires a systematic effort to communicate the public health system&apos;s central role in protecting all Americans and to ensure that the public and policymakers understand the value and importance of the functions that state and local public health departments perform and the services they provide. At the same time, it is critical that accountability be increased to measure effectiveness and to ensure that public health departments are able to anticipate and meet the demands placed upon them. This project will use research, government relations strategies, communications tactics, and community outreach to stimulate demand for a strengthened public health system. The goals of the project include: (1) building sustainable advocacy capacity and action for improvements in public health; (2) increasing public and policymaker interest in protecting public health; and (3) providing a road map for specific action. The project will be considered successful if it results in: policy papers and reports that educate policy makers, the public and the media on public health gaps and needs; the release of a national public opinion survey on America&apos;s public health priorities; increased media coverage on public health tissues; and the initial organizing of stakeholders for a National Summit for Public Health. This grant will help sustain Trust for America&apos;s Health&apos;s research, communication, and advocacy operations and enable the organization to produce and disseminate two reports and one public opinion survey to highlight needs and action for improved public health preparedness.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)&#xD;052412</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grant</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.rwjf.org/index.jsp</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>348</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">348</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hearne, S.

Public health competencies include advocacy capabilities, but few public health graduate institutions provide systematic training for translating public health science into policy action. Specialized health-advocacy training is needed to provide future leaders with policy-making knowledge and skills in generating public support, policy-maker communications, and policy campaign operations that could lead to improvements in the outcomes of public health initiatives. Advocacy training should draw on nonprofit and government practitioners who have a range of advocacy experiences and skills. This article describes a potential model curriculum for introductory health-advocacy theory and skills based on the course, Health Advocacy, a winner of the Delta Omega Innovative Public Health Curriculum Award, at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure, Infrastructure&#xD;Workforce</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>873</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">873</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heisey-Grove, DM, Church DR, Haney GA, Demaria A Jr</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enhancing surveillance for hepatitis C through public health informatics</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13-8</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">126</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">surveillance, informatics</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease surveillance for hepatitis C in the United States is limited by the occult nature of many of these infections, the large volume of cases, and limited public health resources. Through a series of discrete processes, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health modified its surveillance system in an attempt to improve timeliness and completeness of reporting and case follow-up of hepatitis C. These processes included clinician-based reporting, electronic laboratory reporting, deployment of a Web-based disease surveillance system, automated triage of pertinent data, and automated character recognition software for case-report processing. These changes have resulted in an increase in the timeliness of reporting.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21337927</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>349</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">349</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Helitzer, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Willging, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hathorn, G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benally, J.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001, USA.

Because a logic model supports a systematic approach to designing interventions, it is equally useful for program planners. Undertaken with community stakeholders, a logic model process articulates the underlying foundations of a particular programmatic effort and enhances program design and evaluation. Most often presented as sequenced diagrams or flow charts, logic models demonstrate relationships among the following components: statement of a problem, various causal and mitigating factors related to that problem, available resources to address the problem, theoretical foundations of the selected intervention, intervention goals and planned activities, and anticipated short- and long-term outcomes.

METHODS: Fatalities were identified from the National Center for Health Statistics Multiple Cause-of-Death public-access file. ATV and bicycle deaths were defined by International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes V86.0-V86.9 and V10-V19, respectively. Lifetime costs were estimated using standard methods such as those used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. RESULTS: From 2000 through 2005, 5,204 people died from ATV crashes and 4,924 from bicycle mishaps. A mean of 694 adults and 174 children died annually from ATV injuries, while 666 adults and 155 children died from bicycle injuries. Death rates increased among adult ATV and bike riders and child ATV riders. Males had higher fatality rates for both ATVs and bicycles. Among children, total costs increased 15% for ATV deaths and decreased 23% for bicycle deaths. In adults, ATV costs increased 45% and bike costs increased 39%. CONCLUSIONS: Bicycle- and ATV-related deaths and associated costs are high and, for the most part, increasing. Promotion of proven prevention strategies, including helmet use, is indicated. However, enforcement of helmet laws is problematic, which may contribute to observed trends.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Helmkamp, James C&#xD;Aitken, Mary E&#xD;Lawrence, Bruce A&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2009 May-Jun;124(3):409-18.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, methods, and technology</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>351</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">351</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hemphill, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raine, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spence, J.

DESIGN: A descriptive analysis of the fast-food environment in a Canadian urban center, using secondary analysis of census data and Geographic Information Systems technology. SETTING: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. MEASURES: Neighborhoods were classified as High, Medium, or Low Access based on the number of fast-food opportunities available to them. Neighborhood-level socioeconomic data (income, education, employment, immigration status, and housing tenure) from the 2001 Statistics Canada federal census were obtained. ANALYSIS: A discriminant function analysis was used to determine if any association existed between neighborhood demographic characteristics and accessibility of fast-food outlets. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between the three levels of fast-food accessibility across the socioeconomic variables, with successively greater percentages of unemployment, low income, and renters in neighborhoods with increasingly greater access to fast-food restaurants. A high score on several of these variables was predictive of greater access to fast-food restaurants. CONCLUSION: Although a causal inference is not possible, these results suggest that the distribution of fast-food outlets relative to neighborhood-level socioeconomic status requires further attention in the process of explaining the increased rates of obesity observed in relatively deprived populations.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure, Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>352</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">352</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hempstead, K.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Center for Health Statistics, New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, PO Box 360, Trenton, NJ 08625-0360, USA.

One response has been to add a checkbox for diabetes status to the death certificate, which New Jersey did in 2004. This study assessed the accuracy of the diabetes checkbox and its effect on cause-of-death coding. We analyzed whether a diabetes checkbox is a useful addition to the death certificate. METHODS: We examined the trend in cause-of-death coding for diabetes as an underlying and contributing cause of death by analyzing New Jersey mortality data between 1990 and 2005. We assessed the accuracy of the checkbox by examining inconsistencies between cause-of-death coding and checkbox status, and assessed sensitivity by analyzing linked hospital and death data for a cohort of decedents with diabetes. RESULTS: Between 2003 and 2005, there was approximately a 15% increase in the number of deaths listing diabetes as a contributing cause. The number of deaths where diabetes was listed as an underlying cause changed little. Approximately 10% of death certificates had an inconsistency between cause of death and checkbox status. The sensitivity analysis showed that approximately 40% of diabetic decedents had the appropriate checkbox status. CONCLUSION: The addition of the checkbox was accompanied by a change in the reporting of diabetes as a contributing cause of death. Results from the sensitivity analysis raise questions about the accuracy of the checkbox as a measure of the diabetic status of decedents.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hempstead, Katherine&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2009 Sep-Oct;124(5):726-32.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, methods, and technology</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>353</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">353</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Henderson, D.

METHODS: We compared age-adjusted mortality rates and socioeconomic conditions across four county groups: Appalachia with high levels of coal mining, Appalachia with lower mining levels, Appalachia without coal mining, and other counties in the nation. We converted mortality estimates to VSL estimates and compared the results with the economic contribution of coal mining. We also conducted a discount analysis to estimate current benefits relative to future mortality costs. RESULTS: The heaviest coal mining areas of Appalachia had the poorest socioeconomic conditions. Before adjusting for covariates, the number of excess annual age-adjusted deaths in coal mining areas ranged from 3975 to 10,923, depending on years studied and comparison group. Corresponding VSL estimates ranged from $18.563 billion to $84.544 billion, with a point estimate of $50.010 billion, greater than the $8.088 billion economic contribution of coal mining. After adjusting for covariates, the number of excess annual deaths in mining areas ranged from 1736 to 2889, and VSL costs continued to exceed the benefits of mining. Discounting VSL costs into the future resulted in excess costs relative to benefits in seven of eight conditions, with a point estimate of $41.846 billion. CONCLUSIONS: Research priorities to reduce Appalachian health disparities should focus on reducing disparities in the coalfields. The human cost of the Appalachian coal mining economy outweighs its economic benefits.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hendryx, Michael&#xD;Ahern, Melissa M&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)&#xD;Public Health Rep. 2009 Jul-Aug;124(4):541-50.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization Structure and Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>355</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">355</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hendryx, M.

We attributed reductions in admissions to the statewide ban if they occurred only in diagnoses associated with SHS and if they were larger in counties with no previous bans. We analyzed the data with Poisson regressions, controlling for seasonality and admissions trends. We also estimated cost savings.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Statistically significant reductions in hospital admissions were seen for AMI, angina, stroke, and asthma in counties with no previous bans over what was seen in counties with previous bans.

However, barriers to cervical screening and vaccination such as a lack of knowledge of HPV, access to healthcare, and poor follow-up prevent the acceptance and utilization of HPV vaccines. Strategies for prevention of disease and implementation of vaccination are in development, but the importance of primary prevention of HPV infection needs to be stressed. This review assesses the potential impact of vaccination for cervical cancer, barriers to vaccination, and the methods used to increase coverage. With the advent of prophylactic vaccines, HPV, a common infection in the United States, can be prevented in most women.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hershey, Jody H&#xD;Velez, Luis F&#xD;Review&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Sep-Oct;15(5):384-92.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organization and structure </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/PHH.0b013e3181a23de6 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200909000-00003 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>357</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">357</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hessler, B.

This article reports the results of an on-line survey of regional health information organizations (RHIOs) and state and local health department representatives&apos; beliefs and attitudes regarding collaboration in HIE. Factors that may encourage cooperation among public health agencies and RHIOs include broader geographic and multiorganization catchment areas, early laboratory involvement, early inclusion of public health as a RHIO partner, and efforts to resolve perceived barriers to cooperation. The exchange of electronic lab data was the most common type of data being exchanged and could serve as a model for how to accomplish HIE in general. Health departments (state and local) may serve as neutral conveners of RHIOs and could offer a bridge for acceptance by stakeholders, dispelling mistrust, offering data management expertise, and a capacity and tradition of ensuring privacy for confidential data.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hessler, B J&#xD;Soper, Paula&#xD;Bondy, Jessica&#xD;Hanes, Pamela&#xD;Davidson, Arthur&#xD;290-04-0014/PHS HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2009 Sep-Oct;15(5):416-24.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">data, methods, and technology </style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1097/01.PHH.0000359636.63529.74 [doi]&#xD;00124784-200909000-00007 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>816</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">816</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hinchcliff, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ivers, R.

However, it is unclear what role research plays in the process of making GDL policies. To understand how research is utilized in this context, we interviewed influential GDL policy actors in Australia and the United States. We found that GDL policy actors generally believed that research evidence informed GDL policy development, but they also believed that research was used to justify politically determined policy positions that were not based on evidence. Further efforts, including more effective research dissemination strategies, are required to increase research utilization in policy.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hinchcliff, Reece&#xD;Ivers, Rebecca Q&#xD;Poulos, Roslyn&#xD;Senserrick, Teresa&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2010 Nov;100(11):2052-8.

Should the next influenza pandemic prove equally virulent, there could be more than 300 million deaths globally. The conventional view is that little could have been done to prevent the H1N1 virus from spreading or to treat those infected; however, there is evidence to the contrary. Records from an &quot;open-air&quot; hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, suggest that some patients and staff were spared the worst of the outbreak. A combination of fresh air, sunlight, scrupulous standards of hygiene, and reusable face masks appears to have substantially reduced deaths among some patients and infections among medical staff. We argue that temporary hospitals should be a priority in emergency planning. Equally, other measures adopted during the 1918 pandemic merit more attention than they currently receive.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hobday, Richard A&#xD;Cason, John W&#xD;Historical Article&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of public health&#xD;Am J Public Health. 2009 Oct;99 Suppl 2:S236-42.

Geographic information systems, the 2005 Uniform Data System, and rurality and border proximity indices provided environmental variables. To identify factors associated with health care use, we performed logistic regression using weighted hierarchical linear modeling.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Approximately half (55.3%) of farmworkers utilized US health care in the previous 2 years. Several factors were independently associated with use at the individual level (gender, immigration and migrant status, English proficiency, transportation access, health status, and non-US health care utilization), the environmental level (proximity to US-Mexico border), and the policy level (insurance status and workplace payment structure). County Federally Qualified Health Center resources were not independently associated.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: We identified farmworkers at greatest risk for poor access. We made recommendations for change to farmworker health care access at all 3 levels of influence, emphasizing Federally Qualified Health Center service delivery.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21330594</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>360</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">360</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hollingsworth, T.

Numerous factors may influence incidence, including public investment in HIV prevention. Few studies, however, have examined the relationship between public investment and the HIV epidemic in the United States. METHODS: This 2006 exploratory analysis examined the period from 1978 through 2006 using a quantitative, lagged, correlational analysis to capture the relationship between national HIV incidence and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&apos;s HIV prevention budget in the United States over time. RESULTS: The analyses suggest that early HIV incidence rose in advance of the nation&apos;s HIV prevention investment until the mid-1980s (1-year lag correlation, r=0.972, df=2, p &lt;0.05). From that point on, it appears that the nation&apos;s investment in HIV prevention became a strong correlate of HIV incidence (1-year lag correlation, r=-0.905, df=18, p &lt;0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This exploratory study provides correlational evidence of a relationship between U.S. HIV incidence and the federal HIV prevention budget over time, and calls for further analysis of the role of funding and other factors that may influence the direction of a nation&apos;s HIV epidemic.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holtgrave, David R&#xD;Kates, Jennifer&#xD;Netherlands&#xD;American journal of preventive medicine&#xD;Am J Prev Med. 2007 Jan;32(1):63-7.

Systematic research and analysis has been hampered by barriers to financial transparency and the inability to access timely information. Better understanding of options for optimal financing of state and local public health will provide much-needed guidance for policy-makers and public health practitioners. This collaborative project will assess the extent to which property taxes are used to fund public health services, and will also create a database of state public health funding formulas and pair this information with demographic, health status and other financial and economic variables. Simulation models will determine the impact of alternative funding formula options. The project will focus on the Delta states: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee, which are characterized by a high prevalence of multiple chronic diseases, high rates of poverty and other socioeconomic disparities compared to other regions of the country. The organizational capacity of the state offices of minority health charged with ensuring the health and safety of minority populations and reducing disparities will also be examined. This project supports the Foundation&apos;s Public Health objectives by providing an evidence base to increase public health system impact through more optimal funding and financing strategies.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)&#xD;58885</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grant</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.msdh.state.ms.us/</style></url><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.rwjf.org/index.jsp</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>364</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">364</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, P.

While Congress and others continuously ask for an accounting of public health investments, transparency remains an ignored concept. The objective of this study was to examine financial transparency practices in other industries considered as part of the public health system. Key informants, regarded as financial experts on the operations of hospitals, school systems, and higher education, were a primary source of information. Principal findings were that system partners have espoused some concepts for financial transparency beginning in the early 20th century--signifying an 80-year implementation gap for public health. Critical features that promote accountability included standardized data collection methods and infrastructures, uniform practices for quantitative analysis of financial performance, and credentialing of the financial management workforce. Recommendations are offered on the basis of these findings to aid public health to close this gap by framing a movement toward transparency.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, Peggy A&#xD;Clarke, Richard L&#xD;Mead, Dean Michael&#xD;Menditto, Susan M&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Mar-Apr;13(2):121-9.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">00124784-200703000-00007 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>367</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">367</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, P.

This pilot study was conducted to test a methodology in a state health department for comparing financial resources consumed to performance scores in each of the 10 Essential Public Health Services categories. An additional feature was to quantify the percentage of total agency expenditures utilized for administrative functions as well. The allocation of all fiscal year 2004 expenditures to the 10 Essential Public Health Services and administration categories was based on assessments of employee job functions and scope of services performed under agency contracts. Performance scores were obtained through a 2-month process of completing self-assessment surveys with system partners using the National Public Health Performance Standards Program Assessment Instrument. Investigators found no clear consistency between performance scores and agency expenditure levels. Two categories, essential service 5 (develop policies and plans) and essential service 10 (research), did have low performance and low expenditure levels. Overall though, categories with high performance scores consumed low percentages of agency expenditures and expenditure patterns were relatively high in categories with low performance scores. The study did quantify that the percentage of expenditures in the administration category was low compared to previous studies in other health departments. This knowledge was particularly useful for informing policymakers.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparative Study;</style></work-type><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>368</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">368</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, P.

Consequently, very little is known about the relationships, types, and amount of finances that fund the public health system in America. This research was undertaken to build on the sparse knowledge of public health finance by examining the value of performance measurement systems to financial analysis. A correlational study was conducted to examine the associations between public health system performance of the 10 essential public health services and funding patterns of 50 local health departments in a large state. The specific objectives were to investigate if different levels and types of revenues, expenditures, and other demographic variables in a jurisdiction are correlated to performance. Pearson correlation analysis did not conclusively show strong associations; however, statistically significant positive associations primarily between higher levels of performance and jurisdiction taxes per capita were found.</style></abstract><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>369</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">369</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, P.

Given such expectations, agencies have adopted initiatives, such as outcomes-based contracting, as quality improvement tools to facilitate performance improvements and to document results. When using outcomes-based contracting methods, payments are linked to accomplishment of mutually agreed upon results. Outcomes are not defined in terms of what is performed, but on the impact of what has been achieved. This case study documents the implementation of some fundamental principles for outcomes-based contracting in a state health department community partnership program. Results are also presented from an interview of contractors that participated in this new contracting process. Interview objectives were to document the impact of outcomes-based contacting on building collaborations and improving accountability. Results revealed perceptions of a highly collaborative relationship between the agency and contractors where contractors viewed outcomes-based contracting as improving accountability by focusing on results, establishing and monitoring performance targets, and facilitating contractor flexibility. Respondents also indicated strongly that under this contracting method, they utilized the funding more effectively by linking it with other community investments.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, Peggy A&#xD;Simoes, Eduardo J&#xD;Moonesinghe, Ramal&#xD;Kirbey, Harold C&#xD;Renner, Meg&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2004 Sep-Oct;10(5):451-7.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>370</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">370</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, P.

An ecological approach was used to evaluate whether two counties with casino gaming had improved health status and public health funding in comparison with two noncasino counties in the same region with similar social, racial, and ethic backgrounds. Variables readily available from state health department records were used to develop a logic model for guiding analytical work. A linear regression model was built using a stepwise approach and hierarchical regression principles with many dependent variables and a set of fixed and nonfixed independent variables. County-level data for 23 variables over an 11-year period were used. Overall, this study found a lack of association between the presence of a casino and desirable health outcomes or funding for public health services. Changes in the environment were made to promote health by utilizing gaming revenues to build state-of-the-art community health and wellness centers and sports facilities. However, significant increases in funding for local public health services were not found in either of the counties with casinos. These findings are relevant for policy makers when debating economic development strategies. Analysis similar to this should be combined with other routine public health assessments after implementation of development strategies to increase knowledge of health outcome trends and shifts in socioeconomic position that may be expected to accrue from economic development projects.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honore, Peggy A&#xD;Simoes, Eduardo J&#xD;Moonesinghe, Ramal&#xD;Wang, Xueyuan&#xD;Brown, Lovetta&#xD;United States&#xD;Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP&#xD;J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Mar-Apr;13(2):214-22.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure&#xD;Finance</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">00124784-200703000-00021 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>371</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">371</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hooker, E.

The goal of the research described here was to identify epidemiologic topics seen as important to healthcare executives. A survey was conducted of a convenience sample of alumni the Graduate program in Health Services Administration of Xavier University in Cincinnati Ohio. Alumni were asked to rank 68 epidemiologic topics on a likert-type scale: 1 = Not important; 2 = Slightly Important; 3 = Important; 4 = Very Important; 5 = Not applicable. Demographic characteristics were collected including: age of respondents, gender, years since graduation, and current position. All responses of important (3) and very important (4) were grouped together. Topics were then ranked based on the percent of respondents who answered the question and ranked the topic as a 3 or 4. A total of 858 surveys were mailed to alumni, and 177 completed surveys were returned for a 21% response rate. Respondents were 64% male, and there were similar number of graduates from all age groups and from year of graduation. The largest groups of respondents were CEOs and Managers. Clinical guidelines, Quality and Satisfaction, and Benchmarking ranked highest for number or respondents ranking the topic as important or very important. The majority of graduates indicated that almost all epidemiologic topics are important or very important. Topics dealing with quality were ranked highest by the graduates.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hooker, Edmond A&#xD;United States&#xD;The Journal of health administration education&#xD;J Health Adm Educ. 2008 Spring;25(2):127-43.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, methods, and technology</style></custom7><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>868</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">868</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hoppe, BO, Harding AK, Staab J, Counter M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Private well testing in Oregon from real estate transactions: an innovative approach toward a state-based surveillance system</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Rep</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">107-15</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">126</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveillance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21337936</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>372</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">372</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horney, J.

As a result, the magnitude of the problem of pregnancy-associated mortality is underestimated. To improve the identification of these deaths, check boxes for reporting pregnancy status have been added to death certificates in a number of states. We used multiple external data sources to determine whether check boxes have been effective in identifying pregnancy-associated deaths.&#xD;&#xD;METHODS: We collected data on deaths occurring among pregnant or recently pregnant women residing in Maryland during the years 2001-2008 using multiple data sources. We determined the percentage of these deaths that could be identified through check boxes placed on death certificates.&#xD;&#xD;RESULTS: Overall, 64.5% of pregnancy-associated deaths were identified through pregnancy check boxes on death certificates, including 98.1% of maternal deaths-defined as deaths occurring during pregnancy or within 42 days of delivery from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes-and 46.7% of deaths from nonmaternal causes, such as homicide, suicide, accidents, and substance abuse.&#xD;&#xD;CONCLUSIONS: Check boxes on death certificates are effective in identifying pregnancy-associated deaths resulting from maternal causes. However, they are far less effective in identifying deaths resulting from nonmaternal causes, such as homicide, accidental death, and substance abuse, which represent three of the four leading causes of pregnancy-associated death in Maryland.&#xD;</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21387949</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>373</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">373</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horsman, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Furlong, W.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feeny, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Torrance, G.</style></author></authors></contributors><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Utilities Inc, Dundas, ON, Canada. horsmanj@mcmaster.ca</style></auth-address><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Health Utilities Index (HUI): concepts, measurement properties and applications</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Qual Life Outcomes</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Qual Life Outcomes</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">54</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003/11/14</style></edition><keywords><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Outcome Assessment (Health Care)</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psychometrics/ instrumentation</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality Assurance, Health Care/ methods</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Life</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality-Adjusted Life Years</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Questionnaires</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reproducibility of Results</style></keyword><keyword><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sickness Impact Profile</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year></dates><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1477-7525 (Electronic)</style></isbn><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14613568</style></accession-num><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This is a review of the Health Utilities Index (HUI) multi-attribute health-status classification systems, and single- and multi-attribute utility scoring systems.

The use of HUI in clinical studies for a wide variety of conditions in a large number of countries is illustrated. HUI provides comprehensive, reliable, responsive and valid measures of health status and HRQL for subjects in clinical studies. Utility scores of overall HRQL for patients are also used in cost-utility and cost-effectiveness analyses. Population norm data are available from numerous large general population surveys. The widespread use of HUI facilitates the interpretation of results and permits comparisons of disease and treatment outcomes, and comparisons of long-term sequelae at the local, national and international levels.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horsman, John&#xD;Furlong, William&#xD;Feeny, David&#xD;Torrance, George&#xD;England&#xD;Health and quality of life outcomes&#xD;Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2003 Oct 16;1:54.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Technology and Methods&#xD;</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1186/1477-7525-1-54 [doi]&#xD;1477-7525-1-54 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>374</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">374</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hosler, A.

PURPOSE: To assess the availability of selected retail foods and cigarettes, and explore ecologic relationships of the availability with obesity and smoking in rural communities. METHODS: Inventories of all food stores (n = 182) in 2 rural New York counties were surveyed. The study area was divided into 4 regions through cluster analysis of 2000 Census and geographic information system data. Weight-adjusted per 10,000-population density of stores carrying selected foods was used as a standardized measure of availability. Prevalence of overweight/obesity (BMI &gt; or =25.0 kg/m(2)) and smoking among adults was obtained from secondary data. Bivariate correlations among availability of foods and cigarettes, overweight/obesity, and smoking were analyzed at the regional level. Findings: Nutritionally important foods, including fresh fruit, vegetables (dark green or orange colored), low-fat (&lt; or =1%) milk, high-fiber (&gt; or =2g per slice) bread, and fish were most available in the semiurbanized region, followed by the rural heartland, the remote mountains region, and the most urbanized inner-town. No significant difference was found in the availability of general food items and cigarettes. Overweight/obesity was inversely associated with the availability of fresh fruit, vegetables, and low-fat milk. Smoking was positively associated with the availability of cigarettes, white bread, whole milk, and eggs. CONCLUSIONS: The observed disparities in food availability and their ecologic association with health risks in rural adults expanded the knowledge base of built environment and its association with health beyond the urban setting.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hosler, Akiko S&#xD;U48/DP000028/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United States&#xD;Research Support, U.S. Gov&apos;t, P.H.S.&#xD;United States&#xD;The Journal of rural health : official journal of the American Rural Health Association and the National Rural Health Care Association&#xD;J Rural Health. 2009 Spring;25(2):203-10.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> data, technology, and methods</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JRH219 [pii]&#xD;10.1111/j.1748-0361.2009.00219.x [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>850</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">850</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hou, J. ;Shim, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The role of provider-patient communication and trust in online sources in Internet use for health-related activities</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Health Commun</style></secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Health Commun</style></full-title></periodical><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">186-99</style></pages><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">supp. 3</style></number><dates><year><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Provider-patient communication is an important factor influencing patients&apos; satisfaction and health outcomes. This study draws upon the uses and gratification theory to examine how individuals&apos; perception of communication with healthcare providers is associated with their Internet use for health-related activities. Using the data from the 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), we found that as individuals perceived their communication with providers to be less patient-centered, they were more likely to engage in various types of online health activities, such as using websites for healthy lifestyles, searching for healthcare providers, and seeking health information. Trust in online health information was also found to be a significant predictor of online health activities. The results of this study emphasized the important role of provider-patient communication in motivating individuals to turn to the Internet for health purposes</style></abstract><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21154093</style></url></related-urls></urls></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>375</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">375</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hovell, M.

Modern legal infrastructure to support a modern approach to prevention of disease and health promotion is important. Emerging infectious diseases, advances in research and changes in thinking about human rights have meant that legislating in public health has shifted from the approach in the mid 20th Century when most Pacific public health laws were drafted. This paper describes a project to develop a model public health law for the Pacific. Collaboration between researchers, a regional donor, regional organizations, and the ministries and departments of health of 14 countries will create a model public health law for the Pacific, including options for a regional approach. The resource will then be made available to individual Pacific countries and to a region, which will decide individually and collectively how that resource is used.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Howse, G&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;Netherlands&#xD;Public health&#xD;Public Health. 2009 Mar;123(3):237-41.

The idea of such a system is not new and draws heavily on the work of the World Health Organization. This paper assesses the state of the public health system in England as it has evolved since the mid-1970s, based on a scoping study commissioned by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Service Delivery and Organization to inform its public health research programme. It identifies the principal components of the ideal public health system, and explores the challenges facing those seeking to devise a more coherent and effective system. The paper concludes that despite public health being high on the policy and political agendas, the prominence given to it has yet to be matched by success across the system as a whole. There is also a need to address what is perceived to be policy incoherence, and an absence of joined-up thinking. Tackling problems such as the obesogenic environment demands a whole-systems approach that cuts across government, as well as requiring action by industry, communities, families and society as a whole.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hunter, David J&#xD;Historical Article&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;England&#xD;Public health&#xD;Public Health. 2008 Oct;122(10):1042-6.

Since its publication in 1992 the WHQ has been widely used in multinational clinical trials, in epidemiological studies as well as in the evaluation of non-medical treatments. In particular the WHQ has been included as a quality of life measure in trials of hormonal preparations for peri and post menopausal women and in studies using a variety of preventative interventions for mid-aged and older women. The questionnaire was developed in English and standardised on a sample of women aged 45-65 years. It is reliable, has good concurrent validity and is sensitive to detecting change, and is available in 27 languages. The range of subscales included in the WHQ enable a detailed assessment of dimensions of emotional and physical health, such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, somatic symptoms, with optional subscales for menstrual problems and sexual difficulties. The WHQ is the first measure to be included in the MAPI Research Institute&apos;s database, the International Health-related Quality of Life Outcomes Database (IQOD). Drawing upon data from international studies this project aims to produce reference values for cross-culturally valid, reliable and responsive quality of life instruments. In addition to this work, a revised shorter version of the WHQ is currently being developed.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hunter, Myra S&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;England&#xD;Health and quality of life outcomes&#xD;Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2003 Sep 10;1:41.</style></notes><urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Technology and Methods&#xD;</style></custom7><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1186/1477-7525-1-41 [doi]&#xD;1477-7525-1-41 [pii]</style></electronic-resource-num><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nlm</style></remote-database-provider><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>379</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">379</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Generic">13</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hupert, Nathaniel Health New York N.

This work will advance the scientific understanding of health system responses to medical crises, and create decision making tools that will help hospital and public health planners improve response strategies for both intentional (i.e., bioterrorism-related) and natural outbreaks of human disease (i.e., epidemics). Ultimately this research will permit more evidence-based policy analysis and decision-making regarding resource allocation for public health preparedness and hospital surge capacity. Capacity assessment will be accomplished by developing discrete event simulation models of hospital treatment for the six Category A bioterrorist agents and for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. These models will balance hospital bed capacity in each of the 313 U.S. Hospital Referral Regions against simulated epidemic curves that reflect both disease and public health response variables (e.g., outbreak type and size, effectiveness of initial mass prophylaxis response). By estimating regional capacity for outbreaks of these biological agents, this study will offer a new picture of national public health preparedness. A second component of this project will evaluate patterns of emergency health service utilization in the setting of public health emergencies. Patient &quot;surges&quot; at eight New York City emergency departments will be evaluated during the 2001 anthrax attacks using administrative data from the New York Presbyterian Healthcare System. This study will complement the national-level hospital capacity assessment by evaluating neighborhood-by-neighborhood variability in patient arrivals, since the response of the public to such disasters has important implications for mass prophylaxis planning. Taken together, these studies will advance the science of public health preparedness and provide tools to improve forecasting of health system capacity and for planning an efficient epidemic response.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)&#xD;U01HS014341-01</style></notes><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grant</style></work-type><urls><related-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ahrq.gov/</style></url></related-urls></urls><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organization, Structure &amp; Infrastructure</style></custom7></record><record><database name="Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl" path="C:\Documents and Settings\lcco223\My Documents\EndNote\Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl">Endnote library updated Jan 2011enl.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="14.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>380</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="wdfttpfsq0t05rerserpwpxg9erad90pxvva">380</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hurley, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Felland, L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lauer, J.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Community
