The relationships between characteristics of local public health agencies and their self-reported scores on partnership-related indicators of the Ten Essential Public Health Services were examined.
A retrospective cross-sectional study using secondary data from the National Public Health Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP) and the 2005 Profile of Local Public Health Agencies from the National Association of City and County Health Organizations (NACCHO) was completed. Participants. Local public health systems that participated in both the NPHPSP and the NACCHO surveys.
Partnership-related elements from the NPHPSP data set were used as dependent variables, whereas combined focused elements from the NPHPSP and the NACCHO surveys served as independent variables.
Local public health agencies' increase in partnerships over the preceding 3 years and involvement in a community health improvement process were significantly related to numerous partnership performance scores--more so than other agency characteristics. Involvement in the Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships process was inversely related to some partnership performance scores.
Future research must continue to identify and explore additional community- and agency-level predictors of partnership performance.
研究地方公共卫生机构的特征与其在十项基本公共卫生服务中与伙伴关系相关指标的自我报告得分之间的关系。
利用国家公共卫生绩效标准项目（NPHPSP）和全国市县卫生组织协会（NACCHO）2005年地方公共卫生机构概况的二手数据完成了一项回顾性横断面研究。参与者：同时参与NPHPSP和NACCHO调查的地方公共卫生系统。
NPHPSP数据集中与伙伴关系相关的要素用作因变量，而NPHPSP和NACCHO调查中合并的重点要素用作自变量。
地方公共卫生机构在过去3年中伙伴关系的增加以及参与社区健康改善过程与众多伙伴关系绩效得分显著相关，比其他机构特征的相关性更强。参与通过规划和伙伴关系动员行动过程与一些伙伴关系绩效得分呈负相关。
未来的研究必须继续识别和探索伙伴关系绩效的其他社区和机构层面的预测因素。
