  • Strengthening field epidemiology capacity in Canada

    Open AccessJames A Flint, Pasha Marcynuk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Background Field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) play a critical role in strengthening public health capacity for surveillance, outbreak investigation, and evidence-based decision making. The Canadian Field Epidemiology Program (CFEP), established in 1975, was the first program outside of the United States. This study presents findings from a mixed-methods evaluation examining program outputs, outcomes, and impacts. Methods Canadian field …

  • Building epidemiological capacity to strengthen health systems

    Open AccessJames A Flint, Jennifer White et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Introduction Papua New Guinea (PNG) has implemented a three-tiered Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) to strengthen their public health workforce. The first advanced (extended) level FETP (aFETPNG) commenced in 2019. This study evaluates the outputs, outcomes and impacts of aFETPNG. Methods Guided by an FETP impact evaluation framework, a mixed-methods evaluation was conducted to assess program effectiveness and identify opportunities for…

  • The barriers and enablers of outbreak reporting in the Asia-Pacific region

    Open AccessAmish Talwar, Matthew Myers Griffith et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Outbreak reporting is thought to be subject to technical, or capacity, barriers that physically hinder reporting and non-technical barriers, such as the threat of economic losses, that discourage governments from reporting. While technical barriers to reporting have been extensively explored, there is less evidence for the effects of non-technical barriers, particularly at the subnational level. To better understand the impact of both technical a…

  • Priority indicators for evaluating the impact of field epidemiology training programs – results of a global modified Delphi study

    Open AccessJames Flint, James A Flint et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    This study presents the first FETP impact evaluation framework with a comprehensive list of evaluation indicators for FETPs. This list of indicators is intended as a resource to promote and enhance the evaluation of FETPs and thus improve these important training programs which aim to strengthen national, regional and global health security

  • Identifying factors that influence the use of pathogen genomics in Australia and New Zealand

    Open AccessJames D H Ong, Tehzeeb Zulfiqar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Pathogen genomics, where whole genome sequencing technologies are used to produce complete genomic sequences of pathogens, is being increasingly used for infectious disease surveillance and outbreak response. Although proof-of-concept studies have highlighted the viability of using pathogen genomics in public health, few studies have investigated how end-users utilize pathogen genomics in public health. We describe a protocol for a …

  • World Health Organization Global Estimates and Regional Comparisons of the Burden of Foodborne Disease in 2010

    Open AccessArie Havelaar, Arie H Havelaar et al.ARTICLEPLoS Medicine2015

    Illness and death from diseases caused by contaminated food are a constant threat to public health and a significant impediment to socio-economic development worldwide. To measure the global and regional burden of foodborne disease (FBD), the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG), which here reports their first estimates of the incidence, mortality, and disease burden due to 3…

  • A structured framework for improving outbreak investigation audits

    Open AccessCraig D''Alton, Craig B Dalton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    The framework was acceptable to participants, provided an opportunity for clarifying perceptions and enhancing partnership approaches, and provided useful recommendations for approaching future outbreaks. Future challenges include incorporating feedback from broader stakeholder groups, for example those of affected cases, institutions and businesses; assessing the quality of a specific audit; developing training for both participants and facilita…
