AIMS
Examine the distribution of the Council of Education in Public Health (CEPH)-accredited institutions offering public health educational programs in the United States, and characterize their various attributes.
METHODS
A search was conducted during the period of June 2014, using the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health database (ASPPH), and individual university websites to obtain a complete list of CEPH-accredited institutions offering programs in public health at the Certificate, Masters, and Doctoral levels in the United States. Detailed information were abstracted from the various programs offerings, including school/program information, school type, geographic location, admission cycle, education delivery format, public health concentration, number of credits, presence of a global component, joint programs, and tuition. These data were analyzed in August 2014.
RESULTS
A total of 85 CEPH-accredited institutions designated as either "Schools of Public Health" or individual "Programs of Public Health" were present in the ASPPH database at the time of this data collection (2014). These institutions offer programs in public health at the Certificate (61%, n = 52), Masters (100%, n = 85), and Doctoral (44%, n = 37) levels in the United States. More than half of the programs offered were provided by schools of public health (58%, n = 49), which were mostly public universities (75%, n = 64), concentrated in the Northeast (22%, n = 19) and mainly admitted students during the fall semester. Ninety-three concentrations of public health currently exist, of which 25 concentrations are predominant.
CONCLUSION
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that examines the distribution of existing CEPH-accredited public health educational programs offered by United States institutions. We suggest future areas of research to assess existing public health workforce demands, and map them to the curriculums and competencies provided by institutions offering public health educational programs in the United States. This could provide valuable insight on the extent to which public health curriculums are meeting workforce demands.
目的
检查美国经教育委员会公共卫生认证（CEPH）认证的提供公共卫生教育项目的机构的分布情况，并对其各种属性进行描述。
方法
2014 年 6 月期间，使用公共卫生学校和项目协会（ASPPH）数据库和个别大学网站进行了一次搜索，以获取美国经 CEPH 认证的提供公共卫生证书、硕士和博士学位项目的机构的完整列表。从各个项目中提取了详细信息，包括学校/项目信息、学校类型、地理位置、招生周期、教育提供形式、公共卫生重点、学分数量、全球组成部分、联合项目和学费。这些数据于 2014 年 8 月进行了分析。
结果
在本次数据收集（2014 年）时，ASPPH 数据库中共有 85 所经 CEPH 认证的被指定为“公共卫生学校”或个别“公共卫生项目”的机构。这些机构在美国提供公共卫生证书（61%，n=52）、硕士（100%，n=85）和博士（44%，n=37）学位项目。提供的项目中超过一半（58%，n=49）是由公共卫生学校提供的，这些学校大多是公立大学（75%，n=64），集中在东北部（22%，n=19），主要在秋季学期招收学生。目前存在 93 个公共卫生重点，其中 25 个重点较为突出。
结论
据我们所知，这是首次检查美国机构提供的现有经 CEPH 认证的公共卫生教育项目的分布情况。我们建议未来进行研究，评估现有的公共卫生劳动力需求，并将其与美国提供公共卫生教育项目的机构的课程和能力相对应。这可以提供有关公共卫生课程在多大程度上满足劳动力需求的有价值的见解。
