Using Community Engagement to Move Upstream to Address Social Determinants of Health
Given its role as a safety net institution, the University of Florida Health (UF Health) Jacksonville has responded to the community’s needs through partnerships with the community for decades. Such academic-community partnerships have a broad emphasis on population health and primary care that expands the model of care to include community engagement, which allows such partnerships to promote health and well-being and reduce health inequalities …
Development of a Research Agenda Focused on Academic Health Departments
An academic health department (AHD) is a formal partnership between an academic institution and a governmental public health agency. Case studies have described the value of individual AHDs in the areas of student engagement, practice-based research, workforce development, and service. With growing interest in AHDs and the increasing importance of academic–practice linkages in both academic programs’ and public health agencies’ accreditation proc…
Understanding Cost Variations in STD Service Delivery as State and Federal Agencies Reduce Funding
Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) continue to be a major health problem in the U.S. Despite the persistence of STDs and the critical role of the public health sector in controlling these diseases, STD services continue to be reduced. A linear regression was performed using county demographic and cost variables. Many of these variables in county public health agencies and the populations they serve were not significantly correlated with cost of …
Motivational barriers to retention of at-risk young adults in HIV-prevention interventions
Multi-session HIV-prevention interventions are efficacious but depend on the retention of clients over time. In a sample of at-risk young adults (N = 386), we investigated three potential motivational barriers that might affect the likelihood of retention. Perceived pressure, perceived efficacy and fear and anxiety during the initial session were measured, along with demographic characteristics, partner characteristics, and HIV-related health kno…
Impact of Pre-Conception Health Care
A Multi-Method Assessment of Satisfaction with Services in the Medical Home by Parents of Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN)
A Longitudinal Study of a Pediatric Practice-Based Versus an Agency-Based Model of Care Coordination for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs
Evaluating Medical Home Constructs for Children With Special Needs
The Medical Home model for providing services to children with special healthcare needs has strong philosophical foundations, but the science supporting this theoretical model is not as well developed. The use of logic models and mixed method design provide systematic and rigorous approaches to observation while retaining the complexity, which tends to be lost with research designs intended to control and reduce the number of variables impacting …
Assessing the Status of Partnerships Between Academic Institutions and Public Health Agencies
We identified, described, and defined models of academic institution–public health agency partnerships in Florida. The study involved a mixed-method research design using data collected from a survey of 67 county health department (CHD) administrators and directors in Florida, in-depth interviews of key informants, and reviews of relevant Florida statutes and other archival data providing context for the partnerships. Fifty-one of the CHDs (76%) …
Tobacco Policy and the Role of Law Enforcement in Prevention
The Florida Office of Tobacco Control sponsors evaluations of the effect of its comprehensive youth tobacco prevention initiatives. As part of this evaluation, a quasi-experiment designed to assess the effect of law enforcement on youth tobacco use was conducted. An in-depth qualitative study was a critical component of this research. This study provided a rich description of the context in which law enforcement was implemented. Data collection i…
The feasibility and desirability of public health credentialing
OBJECTIVES. The goal of this study was to provide insight concerning the potential of credentialing public health workers through an exploratory examination of public health leaders' perceptions. METHODS. Qualitative and quantitative procedures were used. Credentialing issues were identified through the literature and through open-ended interviews with leaders and experts. A 74-item Likert-type survey was used to quantify perceptions. Key informa…

Exploring the Versatility of Qualitative Design for Evaluating Community Substance Abuse Prevention Projects
Evaluation of community organization and intervention programs presents challenges that cannot be addressed through traditional outcome-oriented paradigms. The versatility of qualitative designs and methodologies was illustrated in their application to a multiple-agency community substance abuse prevention project. The evaluation provided a historical reconstruction of the project along with important summative and formative information. However,…
