Trang 1Public Health Project
Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement
Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin, MSLS, MA
Project Coordinator: Hathy Simpson, MPH
Project Consultant: Roger Luckmann, MD, MPH
Trang 3developed for busy medical clinicians but few EBPH resources are available
for public health practitioners.
Trang 5EBM practice requires integrating practitioner
clinical expertise with best evidence from
systematic research.
Trang 6The conscientious, explicit, judicious use of
the current best evidence in making
decisions in routine PH practice, and in developing PH policies and programs.
(Ref: Sackett et al, 1996)
Trang 7EBPH practice requires integrating practitioner
expertise, accumulated PH and basic science knowledge, and regulatory requirements, with
best evidence from systematic research.
Trang 9Spectrum of Evidence: Clinical and Epidemiologic Studies
Trang 11Key Questions
• What are the knowledge domains of PH?
• What is / Where is the relevant “evidence” for each domain?
Trang 12medical practitioners
Trang 13Methods
• Identify characteristics of EBM synthesis/delivery methods potentially relevant to models for delivery of EBPH content.
• Propose model/s for synthesis/delivery of current
EBPH content for selected knowledge domains and related practitioner groups.
Trang 14of Public Health
• The field of public health is very broad and diverse
• Activities range from disease control to
health care financing
Trang 15of Public Health
•There are multiple disciplines
(knowledge domains) within the field of public health
Trang 17What are the Knowledge Domains
of Public Health?
Trang 18Process Used to Identify the Knowledge Domains
of Public Health
• Examined public health sources
• What “knowledge domains” or areas of public health do these sources include?

Trang 23What is the literature associated with the identified knowledge domains of public health?
–Identify public health journals
Trang 24Process Used to Identify Public Health Journals
3 Journals identified through the MLA’s Core Public Health
Journal Project
Trang 26What public health literature is associated for the identified knowledge domains of public
health?
– Match journal titles with knowledge domains
Trang 27Knowledge Domain:
Maternal and Child Health
Trang 29• Identified the knowledge domains of public health
• Identified public health journals
• Created project website
• In progress: Match identified knowledge domains with public health journals
Trang 30http://library.umassmed.edu/ebpph
Trang 32• Determine the information needs of public health workers vs. clinical workers.
• Identify the characteristics of clinical EBM
products.
• Can any of the characteristics be applied to a model for evidencebased public health?
• What is our definition of evidencebased public
health?
