Public health practice increasingly is concerned with the capacity and performance of communities to identify, implement, strengthen, and sustain collective efforts to improve health. The authors developed ways to assist local Turning Point partnerships to improve their community public health system as a secondary outcome of their work on the expressed needs of the community. Using focus groups, meeting minutes, attendance records, and meeting observation, the authors fed information back to the partnerships on systems change. A public health systems improvement plan supportive of local partnerships' work on specific health issues was funded and the collaborative research agenda was further refined.
公共卫生实践越来越关注社区识别、实施、加强和维持改善健康的集体努力的能力和表现。作为其关于社区明确需求工作的次要成果，作者们开发了一些方法来协助当地的转折点伙伴关系改善其社区公共卫生系统。作者们通过焦点小组、会议记录、出勤记录和会议观察，将有关系统变革的信息反馈给各伙伴关系。一项支持当地伙伴关系处理特定健康问题工作的公共卫生系统改进计划获得了资金，合作研究议程也得到了进一步完善。
