Confronting the Public Health Workforce Crisis The current public health workforce is inadequate to meet the health needs of the U.S. and global population - and worsening worker shortages will reach crisis proportions in the coming years. Fewer workers, drawing on diminished resources to meet the needs of more people, mean Americans are likely to be at grave risk unless measures are taken immediately to rebuild the workforce. http://www.asph.org/UserFiles/WorkforceShortage2008Final.pdf
PUBLICATION ON ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS
Communities and Academia Working Together: Report of the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Blue Ribbon Panel The Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) convened an 11-member ASPH Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Blue Ribbon Panel to deliver a review of and recommendations for the PRC Program that would be useful to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the government agency responsible for administering the PRCs, and other stakeholders and supporters of the PRCs.
The BRP met from 2007 through 2008 to review documents, articles, and reports related to the PRC Program and individual PRCs over its 22-year history as well as receive input from PRC directors and the CDC. Prior to developing the report, the panel reviewed the history, requirements, administration, and funding for the program; assessed the PRCs’ activities and achievements; and, analyzed the various evaluations of the program. The panel presented eight findings, including that PRCs have made important contributions to both the science and practice of public health and that they have served as a successful model for brokering partnerships between academia and vulnerable communities. The panel is confident, however, that the PRCs can achieve even more to improve the nation’s health and, therefore, put forth six recommendations. To find out more, click here.
