Повний текст джерелаEarly public health efforts in the United States addressed social conditions that contributed to poor health, with public health workers playing a role in large scale societal reforms, such as passing housing and sanitation laws, which led to diminishing deaths from infectious diseases. As chronic diseases became leading causes of death, public health research and practice became more focused on individual behaviors, widely thought to be the primary cause of chronic diseases. However, health inequities along the lines of place, race, class, and other forms or marginalization are still prevalent. A substantial body of research illustrates how social, political, economic, and environmental factors affect multiple health outcomes, including chronic diseases, and contribute to health inequities.
In public health practice, some local health departments (LHDs) and organizations that support their work have called for broader public health interventions that address social policies that contribute to health inequities in addition to providing direct services to individuals. With continued research and support, the approximately 2,800 LHDs nationwide can play a central role in reducing health inequities. However, engaging in this complex work necessitates new approaches, skills, frameworks, and organizational infrastructures for LHDs. The recent foreclosure crisis, which stands to increase racial and health inequities, provides a lens to examine whether and how LHDs can move from a rhetorical commitment to addressing social determinants of health (SDH) into actual public health interventions that reduce health inequities.
Through this dissertation, I examine LHDs’ role in the foreclosure crisis through three related papers. My aim is provide insight into how LHDs responded to the deep and fundamental shifts in access to stable and quality housing and wealth created by the foreclosure crisis that disproportionately impacted African-American, Latino, and some Asian/Pacific Islander communities. Through all three papers, I incorporate a focus on challenges and approaches to addressing the racialized causes and outcomes of the foreclosure crisis. My overall aim is to help advance local public health practice within LHDs to more effectively target the causes of health inequities, including gaining a better understanding of LHD approaches and needs related to addressing SDH through local policy.
In the first paper, A National Survey on Local Health Department Engagement in Addressing the Foreclosure Crisis, I describe the results of a national survey on LHD engagement in the foreclosure crisis, which includes LHD approaches to addressing foreclosure and barriers to engagement. Responses followed a diffusion of innovation pattern, with innovator, early adopter, early majority, late majority, and lagging LHDs. Respondents expressed a high level of interest in adopting innovative approaches to addressing SDH and described a need for models of how other LHDs are preventing or mitigating the impacts of foreclosure, especially through local policies.
In the second paper, Adopting an Innovative Public Health Practice to Address Foreclosure: A Case Study of Alameda County Public Health Department , and the third paper, Policy Entrepreneurs, Agenda-Setting, and Communication: An Exploration of How a Local Health Department Engaged in Addressing the Foreclosure Crisis, I describe findings from qualitative interviews with current and former ACPHD staff and partners. In the second paper, I identify factors that 1) differentiate ACPHD’s innovative approach from traditional LHD activities; and, 2) contributed to ACPHD being an innovator among LHDs.
Finally, in the third paper, I focus on ACPHD’s role as a policy entrepreneur in agenda-setting, including their communication approach. While the second paper focuses on how ACPHD developed into an innovative LHD in the area of local housing policy, the 3rd paper focuses on how in this role, ACPHD interacted in the local policymaking process. This case study also examines how the role of policy entrepreneur can be shared across two organizations (ACPHD and Causa Justa::Just Cause) and provides another way to conceive of entrepreneurism.

Thesis, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10793182.
Повний текст джерелаStrategies to reduce uninsured utilization of Emergency Departments (EDs) such as improved access to primary care, care coordination and management, alternative roles and functions for navigation, and emerging health information technology, cannot be fully realized independent of one another. The call for hospital systems to implement and evaluate population health management strategies as a key component of the U.S. Healthcare system’s transition to value-based care provides both the need and opportunity to research cost effective strategies for reducing preventable ED visits and hospitalizations, and associated costs among the uninsured. The Oklahoma City-County Health Department (OCCHD) Community Health Worker (CHW) Program is a small cohort pilot project implementing care coordination and management, and alternative role and functions for navigation strategies, as a partnership between local public health and non-profit hospitals.
Utilizing a pre- and post-intervention design, this study used secondary data from the program. The project captured the impact of the intervention on selected health risk indicators, ED utilization and associated self-pay charges. Data include demographic information, financial self-pay charges, and ED visit records of all study participants for a twelve-month period prior to study enrollment and for a twelve-month period following intervention. The intervention resulted in reduced volume and costs associated with uninsured utilization of EDs and preventable hospital visits. The intervention did not result in improvement of selected health risk measures including blood pressure, non-fasting glucose and BMI. This study demonstrates partnership between local non-profit hospitals and the local health department CHW program in Oklahoma County is a cost-effective strategy for reducing Emergency Department (ED) costs and preventable ED visits and hospitalizations associated with care for uninsured adults between the ages of 18 and 64.

Thesis, University of Limpopo (Turfloop campus), 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10386/625.
Повний текст джерелаThe study investigates the impact of LED projects funded by the DHSD on poverty alleviation in the Bakenberg area of the Mogalakwena Municipality. The DHSD established more than ten different types of projects in the area to alleviate poverty in the local area. The Bakenberg area is part of the Mogalakwena Municipality and is characterized by high poverty rate and unemployment. It is also regarded as one of the rural areas of the Municipality. The study used a case study methodology and a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research designs. The stratified random sampling method with a sample size of sixty (60) was used to collect data from various projects in the six categories. Data were collected by using the unstructured face-to-face interview method. The data were then analysed using the Moonstats Windows 14.0 to describe frequency tables, plotted pie and bar graphs for the quantitative study and the thematic method of analysis for the qualitative study. The key findings of the study were based on core issues, such as the profiles of the respondents that indicated that the majority of the research participants were females. Most of the LED projects had a problem of marketing their products, and this needed urgent attention. LED projects make an impact on job creation, sustainable livelihoods and social capital among project members and their communities. The study recommends that committed individuals who take part in poverty alleviation should be considered for funding rather than to provide state grants only to groups of people. Resources such as transport should be provided to projects in local areas to access any type of market. LED projects should install palisade and electric security fences around projects to prevent theft within the projects. The study also recommends that a stipend of R500 should be paid to each youth who joins the LED projects to encourage the youth to participate in LED projects.

"The Right Side of the Public Health Ledger: How Revenue Dynamics Influence LHD Finances and Operations." Tulane University, 2019.
Знайти повний текст джерелаPublic health finance is still a relatively young field and, as such, many questions have yet to be asked—and answered. To date, few have examine how specific revenue streams—alone or in combination—shape local health departments’ (LHD) resources and capacity to accomplish their public health missions. Given ongoing policy conversations about financing for public health, it’s important for researchers to rigorously examine the and the potential costs and benefits associated with different revenue sources. Introduction Chapter: The central thesis for the body of work encapsulated by this dissertation is simple: where money comes from matters. This chapter critically examines published evidence and theory linking public health financing mechanisms and their interactions to LHD operations, outputs, and even outcomes. The chapter also introduces situates the specific research questions addressed in this dissertation within a broader conceptual framework. Paper 1: The first paper examines the relationship between revenue diversification and revenue volatility among Washington State LHDs. Using fixed effects linear regression models and revenue data reported during 1998-2014 by all LHDs operating in Washington State, the paper finds little evidence to suggest revenue diversification is significantly associated with revenue volatility. Paper 2: The second paper evaluates whether available revenue sources differentially effected the scope of programs provided by Washington State LHDs between 2000 and 2011. Using two measures of program scope and both linear and non-linear fixed effects panel regression models, the paper finds that only funding received from federal Medicaid was consistently and significantly associated with both measures of program scope. Paper 3: The third paper examines changes in total LHD expenditures in Washington State between 2006 and 2013 following introduction of a new state funding program to support core public health services and infrastructure. Using a pre-post design regression model to evaluate changes in LHD expenditures, the paper finds overall spending among LHDs significantly increased with receipt of the new state funds in the first years of the program. However, those increases were not sustained over the longer term Conclusion Chapter: The final chapter reviews findings from the three papers and discusses their implications for public health policy, practice, finance, and research.

Background: The public and the society anticipate that the health agency is responsible for maintaining the health of the public, resulting in its employees to experience heavy work stress. When work stress exceeds the load that an individual can handle, the stress can lead to negative impacts physically and mentally. The quality of service provided by the employees will be then degraded thereby affecting the health of the civilians. Purpose: By understanding work stress of the health agency employees, this study can find the correlations between coping strategies and physical and mental health conditions. We hope that the findings of the study can health authorities and academic institutions to enhance the health of health care professionals in the future. Methods: This study adopted cross-sectional and descriptive research design using the questionnaire survey to the entire staff of a public health agency in Northern Taiwan. A total of 160 questionnaires were issued and 145 questionnaires (90.6%) were valid. The structured questionnaire was used and the content included demographic data, work stress scale, coping strategies scale, and physical and mental health scale. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson product moment correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Result: The overall work stress of the health agency staff was moderate and the item of “carrying excessive work load” was the most reported complaint. The frequency of using coping strategies was medium to high. When facing stress, most participants would use “rational thinking to solve problems” and least would “delay handling”. The level of physical and mental health condition was medium-to-high where “anxiety reaction” was the most complaint. Of the social demographic variables, employment, age, and seniority showed significant differences in work stress. Seniority and physical and mental health achieved significant differences. Work stress showed significant positive correlations with coping strategies and physical and mental health. The greater the work stress, the higher the frequency of using of coping strategies and the poorer the physical and mental health condition. Conclusions and Recommendations: This study suggested that to reduce the stress of the health care agency employees, the agency can arrange for suitable manpower according to the type of tasks, to thereby reduce excessive workload. The agency can regularly provide professional education and training courses such as ways to relieve pressure and emotional management to enhance physical and mental health of the staff.
