In August of 2003, 23 institutions submitted proposals to build closer ties between state and local public health departments and schools of public health in response to a solicitation from the Association of Schools of Public Health supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This article describes the strategies proposed to build collaboration between public health academia and practice. Qualitative analysis discerned five principal approaches: the development of comprehensive planning processes; reform of the way practica are planned and implemented; the identification and nurturing of boundary-spanning individuals in academia and health agencies; the fostering of new approaches to joint research; and workforce development programs. Major themes that emerged included the importance of achieving a balance of power between academic and health department partners; the need to address cultural differences between institutions; a conviction that efforts at institutional change require both strong leadership and the cultivation of boundary spanners farther down the chain of command; and the idea that prospects for success may be improved if faculty and practitioners have tangible incentives to collaborate.
2003年8月,23家机构应美国公共卫生学院协会在疾病控制与预防中心支持下发出的招标邀请,提交了关于加强州和地方公共卫生部门与公共卫生学院之间联系的提案。本文描述了为建立公共卫生学术界与实践界合作而提出的策略。定性分析识别出五种主要方法:制定全面规划流程;改革实习计划和实施方式;在学术界和卫生机构中识别和培养跨越边界的人员;促进联合研究的新方法;以及劳动力发展计划。出现的主要主题包括在学术和卫生部门合作伙伴之间实现权力平衡的重要性;解决机构间文化差异的必要性;坚信机构变革的努力既需要强有力的领导,也需要在指挥链下游培养跨越边界的人员;以及如果教师和从业者有切实的合作激励措施,成功的前景可能会改善的观点。
