Leading Improvement Through Inquiry: Practice-Based Research Networks In Public Health, Glen Mays
Leading Improvement Through Inquiry: Practice-Based Research Networks In Public Health, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
The field of public health has surged in public visibility and attention in recent years due to its potential to mitigate leading risks to human health and wellbeing. Advances in prevention research provide an expanding toolbox of programs, policies, and interventions to reduce health risks. As these advances occur, uncertainties loom large regarding how best to deliver efficacious public health strategies to the populations at greatest risk. The nation's local, state, and federal public health agencies—together with their peers and partners in the private and public sectors—represent a vast yet diffuse delivery system of actors charged, to greater or lesser …
Using Pbrn Research To Inform Policy And Practice, Glen Mays
Using Pbrn Research To Inform Policy And Practice, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
This brief provides examples of how findings from RWJF-supported research projects underway through the public health PBRNs and the larger field of PHSSR are being used to inform public health practice and policy.

Building A Sustainable Pbrn: Securing Ongoing Funding, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Practice-based research networks require a diversified mix of funding to sustain their activities in research production and translation.
Quality Improvement Quick Strike Research Projects In Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Quality Improvement Quick Strike Research Projects In Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
The Quality Improvement Quick Strike (QIQS) research program provides research networks participating in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Public Health PBRN Program with supplemental funding and technical assistance to conduct rapid turn-around, time-sensitive research studies that produce evidence about the effectiveness and impact of quality improvement (QI) strategies, public reporting initiatives, and accreditation activities in public health settings. Specifically, the program supports research studies that investigate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and/or impact of three related types strategies designed to drive quality in public health practice: (1) QI tools and processes implemented in public health settings; (2) accreditation programs and performance standards …

Public Health H1n1 Response Research Protocol, Glen Mays
Public Health H1n1 Response Research Protocol, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
This research protocol was developed to analyze local variation in the public health response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak in the United States. The protocol was fielded in North Carolina and Kentucky through practice-based research networks (PBRNs) operating in these states.
Opportunities For Comparative Research In Public Health Pbrns: A Baseline Analysis Of Local Practice Settings, Glen P. Mays, Sharla A. Smith
Opportunities For Comparative Research In Public Health Pbrns: A Baseline Analysis Of Local Practice Settings, Glen P. Mays, Sharla A. Smith
Glen Mays
This anaysis describes the organizational and operational characteristics of local public health agencies participating in an initial cohort of five (5) public health PBRNs in the U.S. We examine variation in practice settings within and between PBRNs; compare practice settings to state and national norms; and identify opportunities for comparative research that can be conducted through PBRNs
Initial Research And Evaluation Concepts For Public Health Pbrns, Glen Mays
Initial Research And Evaluation Concepts For Public Health Pbrns, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Initial research and evaluation activities of the Public Health PBRN Program are intended to provide a descriptive characterization of networks during their early stages of development. This descriptive ‘network analysis’ will provide a baseline for tracking changes in network structure and function over time. The information generated through these activities is intended to be useful for a variety of audiences, including current grantees and others interested in developing or expanding public health PBRNs, as well as policy and practice stakeholders interested in using the evidence and insight to be produced through PBRNs.
Start-Up Activities For Public Health Pbrns, Glen Mays
Start-Up Activities For Public Health Pbrns, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Launching a successful public health practice-based research network requires a planned approach to developing the necessary infrastructure, relationships, and scientific direction.
Designing A Successful Pbrn In Public Health: Key Concepts, Glen P. Mays, Sharla A. Smith
Designing A Successful Pbrn In Public Health: Key Concepts, Glen P. Mays, Sharla A. Smith
Glen Mays
Successful public health practice-based research networks (PBRNs) will require organizational, financial, and intellectual resources that allow practitioners and researchers to mount relevant studies in real-world public health settings. This brief outlines characteristics likely to be important to the success of public health PBRNs, based on the experience of PBRNs in other practice settings
Finding Order In Complexity: A Typology Of Local Public Health Delivery Systems, Glen Mays
Finding Order In Complexity: A Typology Of Local Public Health Delivery Systems, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Public health decision-makers and researchers currently lack an evidence-based framework for describing, classifying, and comparing public health delivery systems based on their organizational components, operational characteristics, and division of responsibility. Related typologies developed in the health services sector have proven extremely valuable for policy and administrative decision-making as well as for ongoing research. Performance assessment, quality improvement, and accreditation activities are now blossoming in public health—adding urgency to the need for classification and comparison frameworks. This brief describes a newly-developed empirical typology for local public health systems and highlights its policy and managerial applications.
