Several years after their reintroduction, district public health reports continue to face questions about purpose, content and evaluation. As public health embraces the wider vision of the World Health Organisation's 'Health for All' strategy, and the consequent need for collaboration with other sectors and participation with communities, there is a need for the reports to respond accordingly. This theme is explored in relation to the needs of the report's diverse audience, the type of local research required to make the report relevant and effective, and approaches to evaluation. A growing local research function has resource and training implications for Departments of Public Health. The demands of producing a report every year suggest that biennial publication of the main report, with other targeted products over the intervening period, would be a more realistic and effective option.
在重新引入这些报告数年之后，地区公共卫生报告在目的、内容和评估方面仍然面临诸多问题。随着公共卫生领域接受世界卫生组织“全民健康”战略的更广阔愿景，以及随之而来的与其他部门合作及社区参与的需求，报告需要做出相应回应。本文围绕报告不同受众的需求、使报告具有相关性和有效性所需的本地研究类型以及评估方法对这一主题进行了探讨。地方研究职能的不断增强对公共卫生部门的资源和培训产生了影响。每年发布一份报告的要求表明，每两年发布一次主要报告，并在其间发布其他针对性产品，将是一个更现实、更有效的选择。
