Public health services and systems research (PHSSR) is an emerging discipline that examines the organization, financing, and delivery of public health services.
The objective of this descriptive study is to provide insight into the discipline's growth by examining the researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are engaged in PHSSR and their expertise, sources of funding, collaboration patterns, productivity, and challenges.
A 27-item online survey was conducted and analyzed in 2010. It targeted 2067 individuals who had participated in PHSSR groups, meetings, and events since 2004. The response rate was 41%. Descriptive statistics characterized demographics, expertise and mentoring, funding, publication, and collaboration.
Half of the community members became involved in 2004 or after. More than 40% of the community collaborates in some form. Challenges include knowledge distribution, an agenda to secure ongoing funding, and translating research evidence to public health practice.
A clear resource for the community is a nucleus of productive and engaged members who foster its growth.
公共卫生服务与系统研究（PHSSR）是一门新兴学科，旨在研究公共卫生服务的组织、筹资和提供。
本描述性研究的目的是通过研究从事 PHSSR 的研究人员、从业人员和政策制定者及其专业知识、资金来源、合作模式、生产力和挑战，深入了解该学科的发展。
2010 年进行了一项 27 项的在线调查，并进行了分析。该调查针对自 2004 年以来参加过 PHSSR 小组、会议和活动的 2067 名个人。回复率为 41%。描述性统计数据描述了人口统计学特征、专业知识和指导、资金、出版物和合作。
一半的社区成员在 2004 年或之后开始参与。超过 40%的社区以某种形式进行合作。挑战包括知识传播、确保持续资金的议程以及将研究证据转化为公共卫生实践。
一个有生产力和参与度高的核心成员群体是社区的明确资源，可以促进其发展。
