How can we translate the findings from public health research into practice? We are not doing this job very well and we need to rethink our approach so that we can do a better job. The major problem is that we public health professionals have messages to give people, but people have lives to lead, and we have not done well in closing this gap. To deal with this problem, we will need to learn how to better involve the community as an empowered partner in our work. To do that, we will have to fundamentally change our public health model: We will have to change the way we classify disease; we will have to change the way we organize and finance public health education; and we will have to deal with our arrogance. This plenary talk at the Eighth Annual Midwest Rural Agricultural Safety and Health Forum (MRASH), November 2009, described the importance of looking at health promotion and disease prevention not only at the level of the individual but also at the community and environmental level.
我们如何将公共卫生研究的发现转化为实践？我们在这项工作上做得并不好，我们需要重新思考我们的方法，以便做得更好。主要问题是，我们公共卫生专业人员有信息要传达给人们，但人们有自己的生活要过，而我们在缩小这一差距方面做得并不好。为了解决这个问题，我们将需要学习如何更好地让社区作为一个有能力的合作伙伴参与我们的工作。为此，我们将不得不从根本上改变我们的公共卫生模式：我们将不得不改变我们分类疾病的方式；我们将不得不改变我们组织和资助公共卫生教育的方式；我们还必须处理我们的傲慢。在 2009 年 11 月举行的第八届中西部农村农业安全与健康论坛（MRASH）全体会议上，该演讲描述了不仅在个人层面，而且在社区和环境层面上看待健康促进和疾病预防的重要性。
