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.

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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>518</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">518</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>492</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">492</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. Resolution of these incompatible understandings is a global priority.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aldis, William&#xD;Review&#xD;England&#xD;Health policy and planning&#xD;Health Policy Plan. 2008 Nov;23(6):369-75.

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.

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>611</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">611</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>556</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">556</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Altman, D.

The perspective article by Fagen and Flay adds to our understanding of technical factors associated with sustaining health interventions in schools. 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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>590</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">590</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amico, K.

Though beneficial in a number of ways, such &quot;hosted&quot; intervention studies may be unable to retain participants that specifically discontinue their use of the hosting service. 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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>19</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">19</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;

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>22</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">22</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><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. This model has application to a variety of social regulatory programs of importance in public health and health care, including health care quality (ie, regulation of nursing homes or medical laboratories) and environmental and food safety regulation.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avery, George&#xD;Schultz, Jennifer&#xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov&apos;t&#xD;United States&#xD;American journal of medical quality : the official journal of the American College of Medical Quality&#xD;Am J Med Qual. 2007 Jul-Aug;22(4):265-73.</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%">22/4/265 [pii]&#xD;10.1177/1062860607300564 [doi]</style></electronic-resource-num><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><database name="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>23</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">23</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avery, G.

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>24</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">24</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Axnick, N.

The project will provide important information about the quality of public health and address a key public health systems research question.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)&#xD;56915</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.sph.unc.edu/nciph/</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&#xD;Workforce</style></custom7></record><record><database name="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>26</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">26</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baker, E.

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>28</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">28</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>35</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">35</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>517</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">517</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>41</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">41</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>753</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">753</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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>722</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">722</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.

Preparedness planning should also include support for child care and transportation and help home health care workers protect their income and access to health care. We summarize findings from a national stakeholder meeting, which highlighted the need to integrate home health care employers, workers, community advocates, and labor unions into the planning process.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baron, Sherry&#xD;McPhaul, Kathleen&#xD;Phillips, Sally&#xD;Gershon, Robyn&#xD;Lipscomb, Jane&#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:S301-7.

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>43</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">43</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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>371</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">371</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>390</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">390</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>705</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">705</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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>510</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">510</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.

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>733</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">733</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>50</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">50</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>52</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">52</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>53</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">53</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>606</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">606</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Befort, C.

The purpose of this focus group study was to gain a better understanding of perceived barriers and benefits of developing academic partnerships from the perspective of local health department (LHD) administrators throughout the state of Kansas. 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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>54</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">54</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>55</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">55</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>57</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">57</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>550</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">550</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>453</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">453</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beltran-Alcrudo, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bunn, D.

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>535</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">535</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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>701</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">701</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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>62</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">62</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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>443</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">443</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernheim, R.

Leadership requires an ongoing approach to ethics that focuses on two dimensions of practice: the professional relationships of officials developed over time with their communities and the ethical aspects of day-to-day public health activities. 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.

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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>66</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">66</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><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><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="PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl" path="E:\All things EndNote\EndNote Libraries\PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl">PHSSREndNoteLibraryAugust2010.enl</database><source-app name="EndNote" version="12.0">EndNote</source-app><rec-number>369</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="z0vt50rdb552pme0de85rt08z5e0202er0ar">369</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birkhead, G.
