Glen Mays
This workshop for researchers in the health and human services fields examines strategies for organizing community-engaged and practice-based research studies focused on improving population health.
Harnessing Community Engaged Scholarship For Collective Action To Improve Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Harnessing Community Engaged Scholarship For Collective Action To Improve Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
The growing body of theoretical and empirical scholarship on collective action problems offers important lessons about strategies for improving health on a population-wide basis.
Public Health Services & Systems Research: Current State Of The Field, Glen P. Mays
Public Health Services & Systems Research: Current State Of The Field, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
New research is continuing to reveal pathways for improving health and reducing health disparities at reasonable costs through multi-sector public health strategies.
Developing Service Delivery Measures For Studies Of Practice Variation: The Mprove Study, Glen P. Mays
Developing Service Delivery Measures For Studies Of Practice Variation: The Mprove Study, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
The Multi-Network Practice and Outcome Variation (MPROVE) Study supports investigations of the causes and consequences of variation in public health service delivery through collecting a standardized set of delivery measures across more than 300 local practice settings in 6 states. The measures characterize volume, intensity, quality, efficiency, and equity of service delivery in three core domains of chronic disease prevention, communicable disease control, and environmental health protection.

This inventory summarizes research projects funded through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Public Health Services & Systems Research (PHSSR) program, including studies supported by the National Coordinating Center for PHSSR, the Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks Program, and the National Network of Public Health Institutes.
Strengthening The Science Of Public Health Delivery: Complexities In Implementation, Inference & Translation, Glen P. Mays
Strengthening The Science Of Public Health Delivery: Complexities In Implementation, Inference & Translation, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
Delivery systems for public health programs and policies are diffuse and heterogeneous across the U.S., reflecting wide variation in the capacity to implement population-level health improvement strategies. This lecture examines strategies for evaluating the causes and consequences of variation in public health delivery across the U.S., with a focus on identifying pathways for improving the health and economic effects of policy and practice.
The Status Of Public Health Services & Systems Research In The U.S.: Implications For British Columbia, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Research on the organization, financing, and delivery of public health services has accelerated in the U.S. in recent years. This applied scholarship has been fueled in part by the changes and natural experiments created by global economic recession and by comprehensive federal and state health reforms. Co-occuring changes in public health organization and financing have occurred in Canada and more specifically in British Columbia, where valuable scholarship on public health delivery is also underway. This presentation reviews the progress and current directions of PHSSR scholarship in the U.S., and identifies opportunities and implications for British Columbia.
Estimating The Costs Of Foundational Public Health Capabilities: A Recommended Methodology, Glen P. Mays
Estimating The Costs Of Foundational Public Health Capabilities: A Recommended Methodology, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
The Institute of Medicine’s 2012 report on public health financing recommended the convening of expert panels to identify the components and costs of a “minimum package of public health services” that should be available in every U.S. community. The report recommended that this minimum package include a core set of public health programs that target specific, high-priority preventable health problems and risks, along with a set of “foundational public health capabilities” that are deemed necessary to support the successful implementation of public health programs and policies. In response to this recommendation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in collaboration with the …

Bibliography Of The Public Health Pbrn Program: 2008-2013., Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
This report inventories the research products of the Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) Program during its initial six years of development. The Public Health PBRNs comprise state and local public health organizations and university-based research centers that collaborate to study the implementation and impact of novel strategies involving the organization, financing, and delivery of public health strategies. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation provide primary support for the PBRNs during this initial six-year period.
