Public health actors contribute significantly to health protection, promotion, and prevention at the population level. An overview of the public health landscape can facilitate collaboration among the stakeholders and increase transparency of career paths for young professionals.
This study aims to develop an overview and category system of supra-regional public health actors in Germany.
Based on a list of institutional actors that participated in the national conference Future Forum Public Health ("Zukunftsforum Public Health") and a targeted online search by the authors, supra-regional institutions and organizations with a public health focus were identified. All actors were screened independently by ≥ 2 authors. Community-level actors as well as those without a direct public health focus were excluded. Additional actors were identified via a snowballing process. In order to cluster the actors thematically, a category system was formed inductively.
Out of a total of 645 screened actors, 307 (47.6%) were included and subsequently assigned to 12 main and 30 subcategories. Professional associations (n = 60) made up the largest category, followed by civil society (n = 49) and state actors (n = 40). In addition to a tabular and graphical overview, an interactive visualization of the actors was created ( www.noeg.org ).
This study provides a comprehensive overview of supra-regional institutional public health actors in Germany and highlights the breadth of the German public health landscape. The results of this work offer new opportunities for collaboration and can support young professionals in their career paths. Building on this work, further research on public health actors is recommended.
公共卫生工作者在人群层面的健康保护、促进和预防方面发挥着重要作用。对公共卫生领域的概述有助于利益相关者之间的合作，并提高年轻专业人员职业道路的透明度。
本研究旨在制定德国超区域公共卫生工作者的概述和分类系统。
基于参加全国性会议“未来公共卫生论坛”（“Zukunftsforum Public Health”）的机构参与者名单以及作者有针对性的在线搜索，确定了以公共卫生为重点的超区域机构和组织。所有参与者均由≥2名作者独立筛选。排除社区层面的参与者以及那些没有直接关注公共卫生的参与者。通过滚雪球的方式确定了其他参与者。为了按主题对参与者进行聚类，归纳形成了一个分类系统。
在总共筛选的645名参与者中，有307名（47.6%）被纳入，随后被分配到12个主要类别和30个子类别。专业协会（n = 60）构成最大类别，其次是民间社会（n = 49）和国家行为者（n = 40）。除了表格和图形概述外，还创建了参与者的交互式可视化展示（www.noeg.org）。
本研究提供了德国超区域机构公共卫生工作者的全面概述，并突出了德国公共卫生领域的广度。这项工作的结果为合作提供了新机会，并可支持年轻专业人员的职业发展。基于这项工作，建议对公共卫生工作者进行进一步研究。
