Abstract:
Brazil's democratic constitution granted municipalities responsibility to design and implement social policies, allowing for tailored programs to meet local constituent demands. Yet instead of pursuing local diversity, many governments chose to emulate programs made famous elsewhere. What explains the diffusion of social programs across Brazil? This article investigates whether policy makers are motivated by political self-interest, ideology, or socialized norms. It draws on an event history analysis of two innovative programs that have diffused throughout Brazil's largest cities: Bolsa Escola, an education program, and Programa Saúde da Família, a family health program. The author argues that political incentives, such as electoral competition, cannot explain diffusion. Rather, diffusion occurs when left-of-center mayors are ideologically compelled to enact these programs and when public officials with connections to professional networks are socialized to follow professional norms.

Abstract:
Purpose – Unlike other health professions, there has historically been no licensing, registration, or certification of public health practitioners to demonstrate their qualification to the public and employers. The purpose of this paper is to outline the rationale for developing public health workforce certification, describes the certification process developed by the National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE), and explains how it is affecting public health education and practice. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is a narrative review from records of NBPHE. Findings – The Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health commissioned a formal study of health worker credentialing in 1989 and created a task force in 1999 to determine the need for public health credentialing. Based on input from public health leaders and stakeholders, the NBPHE was formed in 2005 to offer the Certified in Public Health (CPH) examination. The first CPH examination was administered in 2008. Uptake of the CPH was strong the first year (693 examinees), dropped by nearly half (369 examinees) in the second year, and then increased each year through 2015. Part of the increase may be due to eligibility revisions for taking the CPH examination. Eligibility for taking the CPH examination was revised in 2010 to include graduate students in public health and in 2015 to include candidates with a bachelor degree from any field and at least five years of work experience in public health. The NBPHE is piloting open professional eligibility for candidates with no formal education in public health and at least five year’s public health work experience. Schools and programs of public health accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) view the CPH examination as a useful tool in curriculum assessment and improvement and for maintaining CEPH accreditation. Several schools and programs of public health have begun requiring all graduate students to take the CPH examination. The CPH credential is also increasingly being used as a hiring factor among employers. Originality/value – NBPHE’s CPH credential is unique in the world. Foreign students graduating with American public health degrees have been taking the exam before returning to leadership roles in their own country. The CPH program described can serve as a model for other nations.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to develop a framework for benchmarking the maturity of public sector foresight programs and outlines strategies that program managers can use to overcome obstacles to foresight program development in government. Design/methodology/approach The public sector foresight benchmarking framework is informed by a bibliometric analysis and comprehensive review of the literature on public sector foresight, as well as three rounds of semi-structured interviews conducted over the course of a collaborative 18-month project with a relatively young department-level foresight program at the government of an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country. The paper frames public sector organizations as “complex adaptive systems” and draws from other government initiatives that require fundamental organizational change, namely, “gender mainstreaming”. Findings Nascent or less mature programs tend to be output-focused and disconnected from the policy cycle, while more mature programs balance outputs and participation as they intervene strategically in the policy cycle. Foresight program development requires that managers simultaneously pursue change at three levels: technical, structural and cultural. Therefore, successful strategies are multi-dimensional, incremental and iterative. Originality/value The paper addresses two important gaps in the literature on public sector foresight programs by comprehensively describing the key attributes of mature and immature public sector foresight programs, and providing flexible, practical strategies for program development. The paper also pushes the boundaries of thinking about foresight by integrating insights from complexity theory and complexity-informed organizational change theory.

Abstract:
Green building is receiving increased attention in the public sector in the United States. Over the past ten years, public sector organizations have gone from “testing the waters” with green building pilot projects to developing wide-reaching policies that incorporate green building practices and standards as a formal part of capital project decision processes. A variety of approaches have been employed at the federal, state, and local levels that encourage or require green building practices on public sector projects. To date, however, there has been no systematic evaluation of the pros and cons of these policy options to provide a basis for organizations considering how best to construct a program to meet the needs of its specific context. This paper identifies, compares, and contrasts options that have been incorporated as part of green building programs for states and other public sector organization seeking to motivate green building practices in their capital projects and facilities. Three categories of options are considered: Policy, Program, and Evaluation options. The paper evaluates alternatives within each of these categories according to their potential social, environmental, and economic impacts as well as their likelihood of implementation success within the context of public agencies. The findings of this paper contribute a palette of options for policymakers to consider when drafting policies for their organizations, along with program options to be considered by those who must implement the policies. This work contributes a foundation for future research to further understand the relative effectiveness and impacts of policy elements on green building practice within public sector organizations.

Abstract:
The article presents a brief overview of management effectiveness assessments by foreign and Russian researchers; the methodology of SIA (Social Impact Assessment) – assessment of social consequences in the implementation of development, methods of evaluating projects and programs (Global Youth Development Index and Global Youth Welfare Index). The experience of Kazakhstan (YDI and YWI indicators) is described; the experience of foreign countries and the EAEU countries is analyzed. It is proved that the existing problem in the field of public administration of youth policy programs is the lack of certain criteria and performance indicators that are not properly regulated and not fixed at the legislative level in Kazakhstan and other CIS/EAEU countries. In this regard, it is recommended to identify specific indicators for the effectiveness of the implementation of the state youth policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan; to test them based on the results of the activities of a particular region of the Republic of Kazakhstan to develop recommendations for improving the manageability of youth programs.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite the current pressure to reduce state and federal spending, policymakers must find ways to address the challenges of a growing population of older adults with complex health care problems. There is an increased need for the health professions workforce to have collaborative care skills and geriatric clinical competencies. Therefore, programs like the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) and the Geriatric Academic Career Awards (GACA) are important in strengthening the workforce and supporting policy development that addresses increased demands on the health care system. In 2019, the Bureau of Health Professions, under the Health Resources and Services Administration, provided 48 GWEP awards and 26 GACA awards in 37 states and 2 territories. These programs play an important advocacy role to improve on and expand geriatric education. This symposium provides an overview of these programs and their role in advancing geriatric care and in shaping policy.

Long, Stephen H., and M. Susan Marquis. "Participation in a Public Insurance Program: Subsidies, Crowd-Out, and Adverse Selection." INQUIRY: The Journal of Health Care Organization, Provision, and Financing 39, no. 3 (August 2002): 243–57. http://dx.doi.org/10.5034/inquiryjrnl_39.3.243.
Abstract:
This paper examines how varying the level of subsidies affects participation in a public insurance program, crowd-out of private insurance, and adverse selection. We study the experience in Washington's Basic Health program in 1997. Findings show that adverse selection is not a problem in voluntary public programs. Increasing subsidies have only modest effects on participation in subsidized programs, though the gains are not at the expense of the private market. Overall participation in the subsidized plan is also modest, even though participants benefit from it. The challenge to policymakers is to find program design characteristics, beyond subsidies, that attract the uninsured.

Ramírez-Romero, José Luis, and Peter Sayer. "The teaching of English in public primary schools in Mexico: More heat than light?" education policy analysis archives 24 (August 1, 2016): 84. http://dx.doi.org/10.14507/epaa.24.2502.
Abstract:
The national English program in Mexico was formally launched in 2009. The new program supplanted various state programs, and aimed to create a coherent, uniform curriculum that extended English instruction to all public school students across the country. The article describes the development, evolution, and changes as the program was piloted and implemented. The authors synthesize various sources to identify the accomplishments of the program and the challenges that remain. They argue that a main concern, from a policy perspective, is that the program has not been conceptualized as part of a broader coherent language education policy, and that the program has been implemented not as an education policy, but as a series administrative and fiscal actions. Hence, while the program has succeeded in expanding access to English in public schools, it has not had continuity and has been characterized by inconsistency and change.

Abstract:
One of the people’s needs in terms of effort to manifest the purpose of the state which is to establish national well-being is by providing social security. Social security is a form of social protection to meet citizens' basic needs. Associated with the implementation of national social security, the government obligates its citizens to participate in the program. However, the fact was there are still many citizens which are reluctantly participating in the program. It is leading to funding collection to be not optimal and affecting the implementation of social security. The research is adopting normative approach, which is stressed on the secondary data. The research specification is an analytic description with qualitative analysis. The national social security is a compulsory program for all of the Indonesian citizens particularly for the independent level, however, not all have joined it particularly self-referred participants. Several aspects causing this problematic program, such as the lack of people's awareness. The lack of people discipline toward the payment, ineffective sanctions and lack of service, are proved with the abundant number of payment arrears by independent participants. The reconstruction of optimization of National Social Security Program is managed with the improvement of legal substance, legal structure and legal culture.

Abstract:
Pay-for-performance and public reporting programs may have a neutral, narrowing, or widening effect on racial disparities in health care. The authors begin this article by suggesting that certain characteristics of these programs may affect disparities. They then present results from a systematic review of the literature on the effects of performance incentive programs on racial disparities in health care. The review revealed that only one empirical study provided data on this issue: It showed that a major public reporting program increased disparities in coronary artery bypass graft rates. The authors then present the results of interviews with leaders of 15 major performance incentive programs in the United States. The interviews indicated that current programs are not designed to reduce disparities and often lack characteristics that may be important in reducing disparities. The article concludes with program leaders' recommendations on how performance incentive programs could be designed to reduce disparities.

Abstract:
This study focuses on HIV misconceptions in Indonesia. Based on Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program, there are three common misconceptions about HIV: (1) whether HIV can be transmitted through mosquito bites, (2) whether transmission occurs by sharing food with a person who has HIV/AIDS, and (3) whether a healthy-looking person could have HIV. Using 2017 the Indonesia DHS, this study examines the impact of two factors - socio-demographic and media exposure - on HIV misconceptions in Indonesia. I found that respondents who belong to the younger age group, living in urban areas, have a higher degree of education, and have higher exposure to media were less likely to have misconceptions about HIV. This result indicates that to reduce HIV misconceptions in Indonesia, the government should make a targeted intervention program.

Abstract:
Cultural barriers can impede evaluative discourse in government agencies and can pose challenges to good public policy and program implementation. These barriers can be raised—and ameliorated—by applying the “Policy Logic” framework. Policy Logic incorporates elements of the standard “Program Logic” approach, but it goes more deeply into government’s purpose, focusing on the government policy problem to be addressed by the proposed policy or program. The manner in which the framework is used in workshops and discussions with evaluation clients is critical to its success as an evaluation tool. Since its initial development in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in 2001, Policy Logic has become increasingly popular as an analytic tool in policy development and program evaluation. The lively, interactive nature of Policy Logic workshops also makes them useful in bridging the divide between policy and program expertise, helping build a confident, speculative conversation in organisations about “what’s needed” and “what works” and improving the way the purpose of policy and programs is communicated to government and to stakeholders. This can deepen the role of evaluation as integral to policy development and program management, rather than as a “bolt on” or an “afterthought” in the policy-implementation process. This article is based on a café-style interactive workshop at the 2017 Australasian Evaluation Society Conference in Canberra, Australia. The workshop was aimed at stimulating discussion and debate about how evaluation practice—assisted by the Policy Logic tool—can help bridge the policy-implementation divide.

Abstract:
At the present stage, it is not possible to ensure the sustainable development of the country without the application of innovative urban development policies. One of them is the policy of urban revitalization, which is aimed at overcoming the spatial, economic, social, cultural, environmental crisis of the functioning of degraded urban areas.
The purpose of the article is to determine the essence of the public policy of urban revitalization and to develop its process model, which will help to understand the sequence of specific actions and principles of relevant activities.
The study presents a process model of public policy of the urban revitalization. It reflects the sequence of measures to restore the degraded urban area, as well as the principles to be followed at each stage of the policy and in general. According to the model, the process of public policy of the urban revitalization includes four stages:
– preparation for the degraded areas restoration,
– development of the urban revitalization program,
– implementation of the urban revitalization program,
– evaluation of the public policy of urban revitalization.
The public policy of urban revitalization is carried out on basic and specific principles.
Basic and specific principles should be followed for the effective implementation of the public policy of urban revitalization. Among the basic principles should be noted: subsidiarity, inclusiveness, smart growth, sustainable development. The specific principles of the urban revitalization policy include:
– territorially concentrated influence,
– integration and spatial synergy,
– participation and multilevel locally oriented partnership.
Despite the lack of practice in the preparation of urban revitalization programs, the proposed model of public policy of urban revitalization can be implemented in Ukrainian conditions. To accelerate the restoration process of degraded urban areas, it is necessary to regulate the issue of urban revitalization in domestic legislation and create financial mechanisms to support revitalization programs.

Abstract:
A state-wide survey was conducted in a Midwestern state with randomly selected adults (n=1229) to determine their perceptions of youth program importance, effectiveness, and activity structure (competitive and/or cooperative). Public opinion was overwhelmingly supportive in describing youth programs as “very important” (64.5%) for promoting youth development. However, indications of program effectiveness for preventing adolescent problem behaviors (55.5% “somewhat effective”) were not as strong. In addition, cooperative-structured activities (74.8%) were preferred over competitive-oriented activities (16.7%) as having more positive results for youth development. Implications for practitioners, policy makers, and social scientists are discussed.

Abstract:
Public assistance, health, and social service programs are under increasing pressure to address what are viewed by the press, the general public, and politicians as critical problems in the communities they serve. At the same time, programs are increasingly required to account for the way in which public funds are spent and to prove that they are having an impact. This climate has led to a variety of opportunities for anthropologists and other social scientists to participate in program planning and evaluation. I have worked in this capacity as a consultant for almost a decade.

Abstract:
There is no Canadian policy for the management of health and safety in the public interest. Both lives and resources are lost as a result. Limited life-saving resources ought to be spent efficiently in the public interest. If the life expectancy at birth is the measure of safety overall, then account must be given of the efficiency of any safety program, policy, project, or regulation in terms of the years of life in good health saved and the cost incurred. A comparison is made of 26 programs implemented in the United States, and it is shown that they collectively waste several thousand lives per year; 95 cents on the dollar is wasted. An absolute upper cost limit is established, which no life-saving program can exceed without consuming more human time than it returns. Some elements of a rational safety policy, and some concrete steps that ought to be taken now towards its implementation, are suggested. Key words: risk, management, public interest, health, safety, life, human development, index, efficiency, ethics, profession, accountability.

"Elements to Enhance the Successful Start and Completion of Program and Policy Evaluations: The Injury & Violence Prevention (IVP) Program & Policy Evaluation Institute." Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation 16, no. 37 (November 19, 2020): 58–73. http://dx.doi.org/10.56645/jmde.v16i37.659.
Abstract:
Background: Public health practitioners, including injury and violence prevention (IVP) professionals, are responsible for implementing evaluations, but often lack formal evaluation training. Impacts of many practitioner-focused evaluation trainings—particularly their ability to help participants successfully start and complete evaluations—are unknown.
Objectives: We assessed the impact of the Injury and Violence Prevention (IVP) Program & Policy Evaluation Institute (“Evaluation Institute”), a team-based, multidisciplinary, and practitioner-focused evaluation training designed to teach state IVP practitioners and their cross-sector partners how to evaluate program and policy interventions.
Design: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of 13 evaluation teams across eight states at least one year after training participation (24 participants in total). Document reviews were conducted to triangulate, supplement, and contextualize reported improvements to policies, programs, and practices.
Intervention: Teams of practitioners applied for and participated in the Evaluation Institute, a five-month evaluation training initiative that included a set of online training modules, an in-person workshop, and technical support from evaluation consultants.
Main Outcome Measure(s): The successful start and/or completion of a program or policy evaluation focused on an IVP intervention.
Results: Of the 13 teams studied, a total of 12 teams (92%) reported starting or completing an evaluation. Four teams (31%) reported fully completing their evaluations; eight teams (61%) reported partially completing their evaluations. Teams identified common facilitators and barriers that impacted their ability to start and complete their evaluations. Nearly half of the 13 teams (46%) – whether or not they completed their evaluation – reported at least one common improvement made to a program or policy as a result of engaging in an evaluative process.
Conclusion: Practitioner-focused evaluation trainings are essential to build critical evaluation skills among public health professionals and their multidisciplinary partners. The process of evaluating an intervention—even if the evaluation is not completed—has substantial value and can drive improvements to public health interventions. The Evaluation Institute can serve as a model for training public health practitioners and their partners to successfully plan, start, complete, and utilize evaluations to improve programs and policies.

Abstract:
Esse artigo tratará da pesquisa realizada acerca do Programa Ambientes Verdes e Saudáveis (PAVS) da Secretaria do Verde e Meio Ambiente do Município de São Paulo. Esse programa é uma política intersetorial que integra ações de ambiente e saúde, por meio de processos educativos, voltados para agentes comunitárias de saúde. O objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar se os processos que envolvem educação não-formal, ou educação popular são capazes de contribuir com a construção de nova cultura e novas subjetividades promotoras de políticas públicas populares integradas, de emancipação comunitária e de desenvolvimento sustentável. O método utilizado foi pesquisa semi-participante e o seu marco teórico, dentre outros, acorda com Boaventura de Sousa Santos, que advoga o desenvolvimento do Terceiro Pilar de sustentação da modernidade, a Comunidade, como fator determinante para o nascimento de um novo paradigma de desenvolvimento sustentável. Os principais pontos que devem ser ressaltados como resultados foram o protagonismo das agentes, a intersetorialidade da política e seu potencial emancipador, além da construção do conceito de políticas públicas populares e integradas.

Abstract:
Counseling psychologists have been at the forefront of social justice and advocacy efforts in the discipline of psychology. Despite these foci, few graduate training programs in psychology offer formal courses or training in advocacy, social justice, and public policy. To develop and fill a pipeline of professionals involved in social justice and advocacy efforts, graduate training programs in psychology must expose and prepare students to these areas. The purpose of the current paper is to describe how faculty within the professional psychology program at the University of Denver incorporate advocacy, public policy, and social justice education and training into their program. We describe how the program climate and curriculum were created to meet these training needs.

Abstract:
Religion has a strategic role and position whose main function is as an ethical and moral foundation that influences the national development of the Indonesian state. Religion can be said as a value and a system that must be understood and carried out by every community as an individual who lives and resides in a country as the basic foothold to animate the life of the nation and state. In Indonesia, religion is an important milestone in the development of the country because religion is the spiritual, ethical and moral foundation of an individual. The government has a number of policies in the development of the religious sector to support the realization of social welfare. In the public policy stage, program implementation becomes an important stage in the main public policy. To realize social welfare in the community, programs that support development are implemented such as economic, social, infrastructure, and cultural and religious programs. This writing departs from this issue and wants to examine in depth how the implementation of the development program in the field of religion to support the realization of social welfare for the community, especially in the Central Borneo Province, using qualitative descriptive writing methods, using the perspective of Public Administration, Public Policy Theory, Implementation Theory, Development Theory and Community Welfare. The findings of this study indicate that in implementing the development policy in the field of religion, Christian Guidance for the Regional Office of Central Kalimantan province uses three stages of the process, namely input, process and program.
Agama memiliki peran dan kedudukan strategis yang fungsi utamanya adalah sebagai landasan etika dan moral yang mempengaruhi pembangunan nasional negara Indonesia. Agama bisa dikatakan sebagai nilai dan sistem yang harus dipahami serta dijalankan oleh setiap masyarakat sebagai individu yang hidup dan berdiam di suatu negara sebagai pijakan dasar untuk menjiwai kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara. Di Indonesia agama merupakan tonggak penting dalam pembangunan negara karena agama merupakan landasan spiritual, etika dan moral seorang individu. Pemerintah memiliki sejumlah kebijakan dalam pembangunan bidang agama untuk mendukung terwujudnya kejehteraan sosial. Dalam tahapan kebijakan publik implementasi program menjadi tahapan yang penting dalam pokok kebijakan publik. Untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan sosial dalam masyarakat, maka diimplementasikan program-program yang menunjang pembangunan seperti program ekonomi , sosial, sarana prasarana , serta budaya dan agama.

Abstract:
Changing demographics, including the increase in life expectancy and the growing numbers of elderly, has focused attention on the need for dental research activities to be expanded for geriatric dentistry. The elderly are at greater risk for oral disease, since gains in longevity result in more medically compromising conditions or systemic disease with oral manifestations. Also, as edentulism decreases and as more teeth are retained by the elderly, the pattern of oral diseases and the treatment of dental conditions will be altered. Barriers to self-care and professional care must be removed, and prevention and early intervention strategies must be formulated to reduce the risk of oral diseases. Risk factors for oral diseases in the elderly can be reduced by personal home-care regimens, professionally provided preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic care, changes in high-risk behavior, and a supportive environment. Generating new information about the prevention of oral diseases and conditions that have an impact on the elderly requires a substantial research effort. A research agenda for the elderly should include: epidemiologic studies of relevant oral diseases and related risk factors; investigations of patient and provider attitudes and behavior related to oral health; studies of the relationship between general health and oral health; development and testing of preventive and treatment strategies for conditions such as xerostomia, root caries, secondary caries, and gingival recession; and studies for the evaluation of the impact of the aging population on the dental delivery system. Public policy options to support geriatric oral health care and research are limited by the Government's pre-occupation with cost containment and the lack of visibility for dental programs. Many of the national health proposals for universal coverage and for elimination of financial barriers to health care do not include disease prevention or health promotion programs; dentistry is not mentioned even in those proposals that do include prevention. NIDR is gathering support for geriatric oral health research with its new initiative, entitled the "Research and Action Program to Improve the Oral Health of Older Americans and Other Adults at High Risk". Funding for this program may depend in part on changing national priorities and the dental profession's ability to become more intimately involved in the public debate regarding the future of the nation's health care system.

Abstract:
Air transport is one of the elements of the world economy. In many analyzes, it has been argued that there is a close relationship between the development of air transport and the economics development of country. As a result of the increase in GDP, the number of passengers served by airports increases. The main owners of the airports are public entities. They and the governmental institutions determine the direction of branch development. In Poland the most important act defining the detailed functioning of aerodromes is The program of development of airfield and aerial devices (2005). No strategy for the development of Polish civil aviation has been identified so far. The only records are only the latest strategies and documents determining the economic policy of the state. Therefore, it is necessary first and foremost to adapt this strategy to the current market conditions. Based on the above, the main objective of the article is to define the areas requiring immediate correction in the airfield development program. The content of this article may serve as a basis for a broad analysis and development of the directions of Polish air transport.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the characteristics of the program of Assistance to Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) in the United States. This program is aimed at support and subsequent commercialization of high technology developed by small firms. The government agencies involved in the implementation of the program determine the research areas manage the allocated funds themselves. The program has been in operation for over 30 years and has proven to be effective. It provides business with funds necessary at the primary, the most risky phase of production of innovative goods and services, and also gives signals to the market about popular areas of innovation development. Participation in the program is a guarantee of a high level for innovative product or service produced by the firm and allows companies to raise additional funds. Conclusions drawn from the analysis of the SBIR may be useful for the policy support of science and technology in Russia. The implementation of programs similar to SBIR in Russia will solve the actual problem of innovation development, to reduce information asymmetry in the market of innovative products and services and help in attracting venture capital in high-technology projects.

Abstract:
Experiential learning is a core competency of curricula across accredited U.S. schools of public health, helping students to hone diverse skill sets that will enable them to readily join the workforce and contribute to solving complex public health problems. At the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (SPH), all master’s and doctoral students are required to complete a practicum during their degree programs; yet practicum development and selection processes are often overlooked. To enhance the experiential learning program and Human Research Protection Program processes surrounding student practica at the CUNY SPH, researchers mined an administrative database and analyzed characteristics of practicum projects undertaken by graduate students. Findings from this novel study will facilitate policy and procedural changes within the SPH Office of Experiential Learning, which oversees the practicum program, and across SPH offices, including the Human Research Protection Program, to promote an optimal, student-centered practicum experience. Additionally, these analyses will serve as a model for other schools of public health seeking to develop, refine, and strengthen their practicum programs.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the issue social economy entities and the role they play in the public policy. The paper argues in favour of the thesis that social economy entities are an important component of what can be described as the capacity of the public policy system in a given country. They contribute significant resources – intellectual, organisational, executive [financial], etc. – to the system. The larger these resources are, the more efficient the whole system becomes, i.e. the ability to identify key public issues and to program their solutions, to implement these solutions and to evaluate the results of public policy actions in various forms. It indicates that it is in the interest of the State and the general public to strengthen the social economy entity sector.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to determine the main strategic directions of public policy development of the regional health care system. The definition of «health policy» is proposed. The main types of policy in the field of health care are identified: by objects of regulation – socio-economic, medical, technological; by levels – municipal, regional, state, international, world. It is proposed to define the concept of «public regional health policy», its objects and subjects. The functions of public policy in the development of health care in the region are considered. Methods of realization of the purposes of public regional policy in the field of public health services are defined: organizational-legal, economic and social. The need for careful study and analysis of regional, domestic and international experience in health care development is noted. The importance of public-private partnership in the health care system by optimizing costs and creating conditions for technological breakthrough and stable growth in the industry is noted. The actions of the regions to implement the main directions of the health care modernization program are analyzed. The main shortcomings and positive changes inherent in the current management practice of developing and implementing public policy in the field of health care at the regional level are identified. The process of development and implementation of public regional policy, which is carried out in 4 stages: policy initiation; policy implementation and monitoring involves the choice of methods and management technologies for the implementation of strategies; policy implementation; policy evaluation – assessment of the obtained effects, detection of deviations from the standard and regulation (adjustment) of the policy. In order to achieve these goals, the main strategic directions of public policy for the development of the regional health care system have been developed: 1) optimization of financial activities of the regional health care system; 2) optimization of the use of labor resources. It is noted that the proposed measures are long-term strategic in nature.

Abstract:
This document provides a historical overview of the National Sea Turtle Conservation Program (pnctm) from the perspective of public policies on environmental matters. Initially, a timeline is presented, highlighting some of the most significant events since the beginning of the pnctm, considered one of the oldest conservation programs in Mexico. In the second part, the conceptual framework that underlies the Conservation of Species at Risk Program (pace) is analyzed as the tool for managing public policy and that, as such, must be subject to processes essential for project management, such as evaluation. In this context, the importance of the evaluation processes of public policies (their programs and projects) is highlighted as a means for insight that led to improvements in their contents and in the processes of program implementation, orienting them towards adaptive management to improve results. In this case, this entails the recovery of sea turtle populations. An overview of some exercises for the evaluation of species recovery plans at the international level and in Mexico is presented. From this we conclude that there is a critical urgency to evaluate the results of the recovery plans, such as pace. Keywords: Environmental public policy, public policy evaluation, sea turtles, PACE

Abstract:
Qualitative methodologies and methods are commonly used in health policy and systems research but have not been extensively characterized. We describe how qualitative approaches are used within the field and present a framework to aid researchers in study planning. To achieve these aims, we conducted a scoping literature review of 1 year of selected health policy and systems research and then coded publications based on their primary analytical foci. Four core themes emerged: policy or program content, an analysis of the substance of policies or program documents; policy or program environment, a study of the landscape of policies or programs; policy or program implementation, a study of the planned or actual execution of a policy or program; and organization or system operations, a study of the structure or function of health organizations or systems. We provide guidance on utilizing the framework and adhering to qualitative best practices during the process.
