While many higher-education institutions dramatically altered their operations and helped mitigate COVID-19 transmission on campuses, these efforts were rarely fully extended to surrounding communities. A community pandemic-response program was launched in a college town that deployed epidemiological infection-control measures and health behavior change interventions. An increase in self-reported preventive health behaviors and a lower relative case positivity proportion were observed. The program identified scalable approaches that may generalize to other college towns and community types. Building public health infrastructure with such programs may be pivotal in promoting health in the postpandemic era. (. 2022;112(8):1142-1146. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306880).
虽然许多高等教育机构大幅调整了运营模式，并协助缓解了校园内的 COVID-19 传播，但这些努力很少能完全扩展到周边社区。在大学城启动了一项社区大流行病应对计划，该计划部署了流行病学感染控制措施和健康行为改变干预措施。观察到自我报告的预防保健行为增加和相对病例阳性比例降低。该计划确定了可推广的方法，这些方法可能适用于其他大学城和社区类型。通过此类计划构建公共卫生基础设施可能是在后大流行时代促进健康的关键。（. 2022；112(8):1142-1146. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306880）。
