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%) participated in the survey. Most reported formal agreements involving 50 different academic institutions. The partnerships were perceived to enhance the local public health system's capacity. Recommendations focus on the need for a multitiered system for recognition of the partnerships and expansion of federal support for partnership beyond existing approaches.
我们识别、描述并定义了佛罗里达州学术机构与公共卫生机构的合作模式。该研究采用了混合方法研究设计,使用了从对佛罗里达州67个县卫生部门(CHD)管理人员和主任的调查中收集的数据、对关键信息提供者的深入访谈,以及对相关佛罗里达州法规和其他档案数据的审查,这些数据为合作提供了背景信息。51个CHD(76%)参与了调查。大多数报告称有涉及50个不同学术机构的正式协议。这些合作被认为增强了当地公共卫生系统的能力。建议集中在需要一个多层次系统来认可这些合作,以及扩大联邦对合作的支持,超越现有方式。
